Seize the day at a luxury home in front of the gulf - Great Escape to Dauphin Is

This is the beach house that will meet anyone’s expectations! It has modern fixtures and furniture throughout. It has tremendous views of the Gulf of Mexico and is right across the street. There is a boardwalk that is a 1-minute walk (180 feet away) from the house that will provide a convenient path to the water. The house enjoys a large kitchen and dining area with double ovens and a 5 eye gas range. Three of the bedrooms are downstairs, including the master with a custom walk-in shower with seating. The back deck overlooks a small canal where you can watch the cranes go fishing. There is a second hangout space upstairs with a sectional sofa to allow room for large groups to stretch out. This place is truly fantastic!

Please note the pictured pond behind the house is not part of the property and not to be used for swimming or wading in.

As with all of our Dauphin Island Beach Rentals, all linens and towels are provided, WIFI, along with a fully-outfitted kitchen. There will be a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags; please plan on bringing more for day 2 ;). A great beach vacation is waiting on you!

Great place!

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The house was great and the neighborhood felt so secluded. Short walk the beach. Loved the laid back feel of Dauphin Island.

Fantastic Get Away

This house was the perfect little get away spot for our family! The location was perfect!! The beach wasn’t crowded and just a short walk from the house so it made for a very care free experience. We loved every minute of it!

The house and location was amazing! Beautiful views and steps from the beach. We used the grill, but only one side of burners worked, so it took a bit longer to cook that night, but other than that everything was as described and in working order. I loved that it is in a gated community and felt safe and secure.

Perfect Getaway

Our family had a “Great Escape” for 7 fun-filled days at Dauphin Island, Alabama. For years we’ve enjoyed vacation time in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, but decided to try something new. We couldn’t have been happier with this vacation home! The location was perfect! We hope to be able to rent this property again

The home is beautiful! Two rooms have very noisy fans which was a little difficult at night. The BBQ grill is rusted out and really a danger. The house, its location and upkeep are great. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Excellent home - great location, plenty of space for the whole family, easy access to the beach. The house is well decorated with nearly everything you'll need for the stay (kitchen has basics but missing some items like a cutting board - we left one there for the next guest). The downstairs beach shower is a game changer for little kids not getting sand all over the house every day. Neighborhood was quiet and safe, short walk down the beach to the east end beach/fort/bird refuge areas. Amazing sunsets and sunrises. 10/10 would stay here again.

Beautiful Home in a Secluded, Family-Oriented Neighborhood

Great stay for our family of 10 ranging in ages from 2 to 57. The neighborhood is quiet, secluded, and perfect for a family getaway. The home is nicely appointed and had all the amenities that we needed for a comfortable stay. Master suite downstairs plus two master suites upstairs were a real plus for the adult couples in our family. Bunk room was an added attraction for the kids, and they also enjoyed their own dedicated bathroom and adjacent loft/sitting area/TV. We had a great stay and would select this property again.

Wow! What a great house!!!! The location was super in a gated quiet neighborhood a 2 minute walk from the beach! The house was bright and clean and open concept that allowed 4 generations of family from my 80 year old mother to my 2 year old grandson to visit comfortably around the kitchen/living room combination! The rooms were comfy and decorated nicely. Plenty of towels and other necessities. The staff was so helpful and friendly and so easy to communicate with. Couldn’t have been better! Can’t wait to return!

Luxury Beach Home review🌴

This beach house is beautiful! New home, great location and wonderful views of the ocean. Our only concerns were that for a six bedroom home, more than 4 coffee cups should be provided and they had zero wine glasses. Home was not clean upon arrival. We left the home in better shape than we found it! Plan on cooking if you visit this island, best place to eat was picking up food at Skinner's! Skinner's food and service was awesome!

Jungle house

I don’t recommend, jungle because the grass was 2 feet tall, granddaughter caught her toe on warped floor, back deck and bbq nasty, old soap and toothbrush in master bath, gated community you would think it would have been a little higher class than a regular rental but not.we left it cleaner than we found it. Not the owners but the rental company problem.

Location is perfect, right in front of the public beach access. House was incredibly clean, loved the sand pit under the house for kids. The property itself is a fantastic property, but it really starts to breakdown in the details. The internet quality was horrible. Super slow and didn't even reach the upstairs bedrooms. There was NO handsoap anywhere to be found, every single bathroom had completely empty bottles of hand soap. If you plan to cook, you should probably bring some of your pots/pans/cutting boards/measuring cups from home as the kitchen is pretty sparse. There was not a single extra blanket in the entire house and the blankets on the beds were pretty thin. The blinds in the bunk room were broken upon arrival. The blinds in general also did nothing to block the sun on the morning. The upstairs south bedroom had a mattress that was completely caved in. Probably ok to put kids in, but not adults. The drain plug for the upstairs bathroom is too small for the drain, so we couldn't give the kids a bath in it. The property manager also told us at 6 pm that the power would be out intermittently the next day between 9 and 1, it was 9-1:30 and we didn't have time to prepare with ice for the food in the fridge. We also only got 2 gate cards for a house that had room for 16, so we're were having to pass the gate cards back around the fence to get all 4 cars in. Again, the property itself is fantastic, they just really skimped/cheaped out on everything inside it.

Beautiful home! Private beach access however misleading on where you can sit on beach due to owners

Loved the house. Clean. High end everything. Once you get on beach, front row home owners do not let you sit in front of their homes. So we had an issue with where to set up each day. 15 of us so took a lot of space. House was perfect though.
