Sweet Home Alabama - Dauphin Island
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, lower levels and a sun deck. With 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, enjoy entertainment options at home with two 65" Smart TVs including free cable and 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.

The island's beaches are a major draw, with soft white sand and clear, gentle waters that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing.

For those interested in marine life, the Dauphin Island Sea Lab's Estuarium is a must-visit. This educational and interactive aquarium showcases the four key habitats of coastal Alabama and provides insight into the local marine ecosystem through exhibits and touch tanks.
Outdoor activities abound on Dauphin Island, with options for fishing, kayaking, and boating. The island's marinas offer charters and rentals, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding waters and even try their hand at deep-sea fishing.
