Experience the Gulf of Mexico as you've never seen it before at this beachfront Dauphin Island home! Offering panoramic views of white sand and Gulf waves that stretch for miles, this beautiful home features spacious, covered porches on the upper and lower levels, 1,600 square feet of living space, and beach access mere steps away. The well-equipped kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and there's plenty of room for everyone at mealtime around the large dining table. If the weather is nice - and it probably is - dine alfresco on any of three picnic tables. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy entertainment options at home including free cable, a DVD library, and free WiFi. More vacation necessities include central AC, a washer/dryer, and gas grill.

This Gulf-front home is a haven for beach-goers, cyclists, anglers, and birders. You can take a boat out to the 132-foot Sand Island Lighthouse, which sits roughly three miles south of the Mobile Bay entrance. The fascinating marine exhibits at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab at The Estuarium are six miles east, as are the wonderfully preserved Fort Gaines and the Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Cyclists will also delight in miles of paved biking paths on the island - you can even bike to the ferry and ride over to Fort Morgan for a perfect day trip.

May vacation

Pros: location of the home is great right on the gulf. Home was large enough to have 6 adults very comfortable. Beds were nice and multiple bathrooms. Cons: bedroom tvs were computer screens way too small, cable was limited and expected better, kitchen amenities were not what we would expect and could have been better, property could use some tlc.

Not so SHA

Property was very clean; however, no Wi-Fi or working tvs in the common areas of the house. Plus, no one ever addressed the issue. Listed as premier property but was not compared to other places we have stayed.

Not up to par

Being on the beach was great, but the amount of money we spent to stay here was a let down because the house smelled , the fridge and freezer reeked of fish, WiFi didn’t work, blood on my bedding from a previous guest. Smelled of animal urine/mold, carpet dirty. Dishwasher didn’t work , cups were dirty upon arrival had to do dishes before we could have a drink and clean the fridge .

Idyllic Vacation

Absolutely wonderful vacation! The location was perfect and a beautiful place to be with family! The island businesses and people were a pleasure to interact with! We had a couple of issues which we addressed with Vacasa, and I hope that they will ensure that future visitors will benefit.

Great beachfront stay!

We loved our trip to Dauphin Island and our stay here. We were beachfront, steps away from the water. The house was perfect! I love that the beaches are much less crowded here.

Great Get Away

My wife and I really enjoyed the layout, closeness to the beach, and all the in home amenities. Both decks offered great views along with 360 degree water views from the bay side to the gulf. Looking forward to going back.

The house was just as the pictures showed. Amazing views, a family would love it there. It was just a long overdue honeymoon for us and mimosas were good too. Thank you for such a clean setting.

On the beach

We loved our stay. The property was exactly as described. The check-in and out process was extremely easy and we received communication throughout our trip checking on us. We were nervous about renting from a company over an individual but were given but we recieved great service. We loved being so close to the beach and enjoyed the deck. We did bring our own Roku's so we had more TV options. The master bed was too hard for me but my husband liked it. I appreciate that there was a foam mattress pad available in the closet, and I used that on my side of the bed. The couches downstairs were traditional beach rental couches, not the most comfortable but fine.We didn't cook anything elaborate, so I can't speak to the items in the kitchen but it met our needs. I recommend this property.

Great location and clean

We had a wonderful stay at Sweet Home Alabama! The proximity to the beach and beach views were phenomenal! The house was clean and well stocked with everything you need to have a relaxing beach vacation and for cooking at the home. The house has 4 plastic deck chairs that worked great on the beach and sand toys which our young kids enjoyed. Would definitely recommend!

Return to Dauphin Island

Fantastic location for a family trip to one of our favorite paces! Right on the beach and the decks in each floor were a really nice feature. Lots of room and a good layout for a family or large group of friends. Will rent again.

Great property. My family and I have been to Dauphin Island several times. We all agreed this was the best one yet. House was clean, well equipped and a great location. Fishing was good as well as the daily nap. Had a great much needed time to chill.
