River House minutes to Dauphin Island. Perfect getaway for quiet peaceful rest

Short drive to Dauphin Island on the Gulf of Mexico. Come rest yourself with family in this lovely waterfront home. Secluded, private property with acreage for children to play and explore nature. Comfortable furnishings, screened porches to feel the soft breezes. Relaxing and peaceful. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A large screened area for relaxing, barbecuing, or playing ping pong. You can fish from the dock, or sunbathe while viewing the river. And yes, there are alligators in the river. While they are rarely seen, the gators are there and usually as afraid of humans and we are of them.
While staying in this lovely home surrounded by lots of trees and water, there will be squirrels, deer, raccoons, birds, frogs and verbal insects (cicadas) to notice during your tranquil time here.
Dauphin Island is about 15 minutes away. You can also visit the Historic Fort Gaines, the Sea Lab and Estuarium (with some hands on attractions that will fascinate the kids). Lots of restaurants, and the freshest seafood is right next door.
The historical Bellingrath Gardens (10 minute drive) with its beautiful blooms all year is a sight to see. Takes about 30 minutes to get to Mobile with all the attractions there.

Please review the house rules prior to booking. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kate at 251-802-7837
We'd love to have you visit.

Kitchen island had to be wiped down when we got there, missing light bulbs in some fixtures, only 3 lamps in the whole place, no window treatments in living room, back porch needed to be hosed off and furniture needed repainting, no working smoke detectors, house smelled musty and ventilation system was turned off when we got there, no easy way to watch TV, and obviously it wasn't checked by the host before we got there. It was the most disappointing Vrbo that I've stayed in.

Birthday weekend

We were here for a peaceful birthday weekend and this was just the place!! Coffee in the morning on the screened in porch was amazing, and the walk down to the dock, we could have spent the whole day there just watching the wildlife. We went to the Bellengrath gardens for the Chinese lantern fest and it was lovely. Restaurants were crowded so we BBQ ‘d at the house was perfect sitting under the house and still able to visit while cooking. Great place!!

Perfect off-island spot for Dauphin trip

The house was very clean and provided everything we needed for a weeks stay. The location was perfect - less expensive than staying right on Dauphin Island but about as close as you can get with a Dollar General right down the road for last minute needs. The ping pong table was an added bonus for the kids. Would definitely stay here again! Very private.
