Bird’s Nest
Bird’s Nest is located on top of a protected dune with spectacular views of Pelican Cove and the Gulf of Mexico. The fabulous views of the water can be enjoyed from the screened-in porch with outdoor dining for four or from the private hot tub where each night you can see the lighthouse light shining beneath the stars. More of a morning person? Then you will love the kitchen, as it is set up to take advantage of more views from the cozy bench seat where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. The views continue in the main bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and large soaking tub. The home also has a loft with two twin beds and a second bathroom with a walk-in shower.
This home also has an elevator that enters from the concrete drive and opens to the main living level. Bird lovers will enjoy scanning the trees for the wide varieties of birds that call Dauphin Island home. Who knows, you may even get a chance to see the bald eagle that is often seen in the trees by Bird’s Nest. If visiting during the cooler seasons, the wood-burning stove is a great way to warm up after a winter stroll with the family dog. It doesn’t get any better than Bird’s Nest, where you can step off the deck and have nothing but sand between you and the shoreline.
A short, sandy walk to the water’s edge of Bienville Beach can be enjoyed —a stroll guests have described as enjoyable and part of the experience. A place where you can splash around, swim, and play with the kids. A mile away, you’ll find Ship & Shore Supplies Inc. with everything you need to keep your pantry stocked during your stay. Head two-and-a-half miles east to visit Audubon Bird Sanctuary, with maritime forest and walking trails full of spectacular wildlife. Bird lovers will enjoy scanning the trees for the many varieties of birds that call Dauphin Island home.
