The countless pleasures of coastal living await you and your family at Bay Dream Bliss, a bayfront duplex condo with incredible views of the water. So pack up your favorite swimsuits and make your way to the beauty of Dauphin Island! Feel at home in no time as soon as you arrive, with a fantastic sectional sofa and a flatscreen TV in the living room. The open layout of the kitchen and dining area is perfect for entertaining, allowing everyone to mingle as the chef of the group whips up tasty meals on all of the appliances needed for any recipe. And there's no better cap to days spent on the beach than evenings spent on the balcony with a favorite drink and a view of the bay's blue water.

What's nearby:
Perched on the blue water of Indian Bay, this getaway is a half-mile from the main drag of the island, so heading out for a bite to eat or grabbing a few groceries is a breeze.

The whole gang will also love taking the ferry over to Fort Morgan to sightsee!

The property is a duplex. Go into the rental knowing that upfront. It seems like that little detail is very inconspicuous on VRBO’s listing for the property. You can see into the adjoining unit through the gap below a shared door between the living rooms. The deck is falling apart, the main floor had loose tiles, the tub had cracks in the floor, the main front window had a structural crack running through the middle of it, the recliner was almost inoperable, one of the wooden dining table chairs was split, and there was live, exposed electrical wires wrapped in duct tape sticking out the wall in the kitchen utility closet.But hey there was a big nice tv in the living room... I wouldn’t recommend this listing.

Not Kitchen Friendly

We like to plan meals and cook while we are away on vacation. The kitchen was definitely not set up for cooking and eating in. We didn't even have steak knives to cut our steaks. No chopping knives, cutting boards, etc. Total disappointment when we started cooking. Also, the condo appeared to be clean at first glance but when we started searching for items in the kitchen, the drawers and cabinet shelves were dirtly. My 10 month old came to see us and by the looks of her knees and socks the floors were not clean either.

Beautiful View

We loved the location, the unit is out dated but sufficient. The kitchen utensils are VERY lacking. If you are cooking a lot bring stuff with you. There is not one Tupperware bowl in the entire place. Besides the kitchen utensils and dishes we had the best time and would come back. But we would bring our own kitchen stuff.

family spring break on Dauphin island

This rental property was perfect for our spring break. Each teen got their own room, everything was fully functional. Furnishings actually nicer in person than in the photos. Deck was awesome for having a cool drink at the end of the day, and great to have access to the little dock. So many nearby beaches that allowed our dog too. Only two suggestions: add a cutting board and a can opener! Otherwise, everything in great working order and perfect for our family of four with a dog.

Great escape!

We had a great weekend at the property with 2 couples. The decks were very nice and views are excellent. We had dolphins come into the bay a few different times and could see them easily from the deck. We would stay again but will bring our own pillows next time as they were not the best for us.
