4BR/3BA with Private Beach, Pier/Boat Lift, Dog Friendly, Free Kayaks, Best WiFi

New owners in 2022! If you have dates that are less than 7 days, please contact us and we will try to accommodate the dates.

Our 4 BR/3BA 1400-square foot open floor plan one-floor home is on the west end of Dauphin Island with a well-equipped kitchen, new furniture, and amazing views of both the Bay and Gulf. We can accommodate 8 Adults if someone sleeps on the pullout couch (must stay below 150lbs on the top bunk).

RENOVATION UPDATE:
We started our project in November 2025 and will be wrapped up mid-February 2026. We are converting the covered deck that you see in the photos to a family room, and are building a new 45'x20' covered deck that runs the whole back of the house. There will be an 18'x18' sundeck off of that, too. We are also adding a boardwalk down to our beach/pier (we will be updating photos on our VRBO page as this progresses, but everything will be ready mid-February). All new windows and siding.

Included at our house is Xfinity’s highest speed internet WiFi for streaming (or work…). New washer/dryer. Great room has large flat screen with blu-ray/DVD player, and hook-up for your own media (Roku, Firestick, laptop, etc). Gas grill out back with outdoor table/chairs.

On a half-acre, our home has its own private sandy beach front perfect for playing or sunning, and a pier/dock where you can fish, swim, crab, or just chill. Bring your boat or wave runners! We have a lift on our pier, too. For those who haven’t visited Dauphin Island before, the Bay side water is calmer and safer for families with younger children and our pier has a swim-up ladder at the end, but if you want the waves, you have private Gulf access right across the street! Use our beach wagon to pull your cooler and gear, or just drive over. We also provide three FREE kayaks and paddles for your use (2 singles and a tandem) - very relaxing to get out on the water on the Bay side. We have a beach tent, coolers, beach towels, and chairs. We’ve also accumulated a bunch of beach toys – buckets, boogie boards, etc, for your use - a couple fishing poles and crab traps, too. Completely loaded for a great day at the beach.

Master bedroom has a King bed, Master Bath, and private sitting area. Second bedroom has a Queen and shares a bathroom with the bunk room, third has two twins and private bathroom, and fourth has a bunkbed (no adults on top bunk). There is a sleeper sofa with an upgraded mattress that is actually very comfortable. We provide fresh linens for every reservation, including fresh comforters (from our years of renting, we’ve found out that not many rental properties do).

And don’t forget Puppers!!! We are dog friendly!

Dauphin Island has so much to offer: great restaurants, beautiful beaches, the Isle Dauphine Golf Club, a small aircraft airport, and an Audubon Bird Sanctuary that has a 2.5-mile trail that empties out onto a beautiful beach where you won’t find a lot of people. You can also visit historic Fort Gaines on the island. There is a ferry that travels between Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores if you’re wanting to explore. If you’re an avid golfer, the Robert Trent Jones Trail begins about 30-minutes away in Mobile. And the USS Alabama is docked in Mobile Bay if you want to tour.

There is a dog fee and security deposit. Additional dogs are $15/night.

If there are any special requests, just ask us. A discount may be applied for stays of 28 days or longer during non-peak season.

Come relax in our beach home.

We had an excellent time enjoying the well stocked home with lots of amenities. We enjoyed the beach, on the bay side, out in the back of the home. The views from the kitchen of the Gulf across the road were great as well.We caught so many great fish of the private dock and enjoyed swimming and kayaking. During our stay, we caught red fish, speck, flounder, white trout and more! Our dogs loved laying on the dock as we soaked everything in. The sunsets were so nice. The back deck and the rocking chairs were great for morning coffee or just chilling during the day. We were able to catch the full big red/orange blood moon on the last night there.The owners were very attentive and communicated well with us. We hope to visit again in the future.

Dauphin Island Retreat

Really well appointed and clean cottage perfect for two couples or a couple of families with small children. Great location with access to both the bayside and gulf side. Due to predominant north wind we spent most of our time on the gulf side...even managed to catch some keeper size whiting and one nice keeper redfish. Pete, the host, was very responsive and checking into and out of the cottage was very easy.

First trip to Dauphin Island

We were looking for a place with a dock to fish off of and a beach nearby. This place was awesome. The entire family had fun at the beach all day, the house was a short walk away so we could go back whenever we needed to. The whole family had fun at the dock fishing at night and watching the hermit crabs. We hope to make this an annual trip.

Family Holiday

First time for my family staying in Alabama. My family consisted of myself, my husband and our 2 adult children, their significant others along with our 2 dogs. This Vacation rental exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in a picturesque coastal town, with breathtaking views of the bay and quick a walk to the Gulf. The interior was tastefully decorated, with perfect blend of amenities and charming beach touches! Listening to the waves eating dinner on deck was very tranquil! My whole family left with cherished memories! Thank you!

Daughin we miss you already!

Absolutely perfect place for us and family and pups. Owners were so helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The home location on the Bay is new for us this year and we loved that access very much. Quick walk to the Gulf beach as well makes this place a top ten location. I think we did it all - beachcombing, kayaking, swimming, countless walks, stargazing and a sunset and or sunrise photo contest that will never end. Everything you could possibly need is available at the home. We will be back next year!!! Thank you so much to Pete and Darlette for letting us share your beautiful home.

Best week ever

We had such a great expierence at this lovely home. We went to celebrate my moms retirement and have a low key beach week. We could not have asked for better. The house was perfect. Very clean and had everything you would need. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. The pier to the bat was amazing. Picture early morning sunrises with coffee, watching dolphins swim by. We enjoyed kayaking in the bay and walking the gulf side beach at sunset. The owners were super responsive and access was a breeze. Their book had all the local information you would need if i could give them 10 stars, i would. Thanks for a great time in your beautiful home!

Slice of paradise !

Wow !! First off, the owners were so easy to communicate with and so welcoming. The house was a dream. To tell you how great it was, we drove over 10 hours for the beach and didn’t go on it once the whole week because we had heaven in our back yard !! The house was spotless, smelled fresh and they had everything you could think of. Not having to drag beach chairs 10 hours because they had them there was a relief too. We will be back ! We’ve been on many vacations all over the US and we have to say this was the best one yet due to the location and the house amenities ! Book it !!

Pure relaxation

We absolutely loved this beach house! It lacked nothing. The house is so well-appointed and comfortable! I fixed breakfast every morning and we ate on the large back porch. We took a short walk to the beach each day and I mean short. Took less than 5 minutes. This host has a large beach wagon to haul chairs and towels, and chairs and towels were provided! Saved us so much space in our car. My husband spent several days fishing from the dock with the provided gear! He loves to fish and it was nice to see him so relaxed and in his element! His final cast of the week brought in a 15” black tip shark! On our last day, the ocean was way too rough so we swam in the sound and had a blast! We are expecting our first grandchild and the sound is perfect for little ones! The hosts are super friendly and responsive!! They are absolutely 5 star hosts! If you are looking for a home to completely unplug and recharge, this is it!!

Wonderful and well stocked

We usually book the same condo in Gulf Shores for spring break, but this time we needed to travel with our dog and wanted to invite the grandparents. The house was perfect! We loved having the dock on the sound as well as a four minute walk to the Gulf beach access. We didn’t bother with getting a free parking pass for it. We took full advantage of everything our hosts provided—fishing, kayaks, fishing from kayaks, crab traps (my dad was most excited about that prospect, but we only caught hermit crabs, lol. ). All we brought for the beach was our umbrella and swimsuits! There were plenty of beach towels and chairs. It definitely saved us room in the car for the dog and all of his stuff. The house is stocked with all sorts of movies (be sure to check the black cases in the cabinet). “Jaws” was the perfect movie for our arrival night. The house was very comfortable, we all slept so well and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a hand mixer to make frosting for a cake my mom baked at home. The day before we left we discovered it even had cake pans, so she could have baked it there. I really appreciated that it is not on the main island road, so there was no traffic out front. Thanks for being such welcoming and generous hosts. I would definitely love to plan a return trip!
