Set Sail



The Space:

Have your own beach on the bay, great views, and access to the Mississippi Sound at Set Sail! This bayfront home offers lovely rooms with sliding glass doors that open to the wraparound deck.



Step into Set Sail with its high ceilings, open floor plan, and tons of windows drenching the house with the Island's natural light! Admire incredible views of the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and the gentle waters of the Mississippi Sound (Bay) to the north. The great room offers two separate living areas with the kitchen and dining area in the middle. On the Gulf side, gather around the comfy sitting area and fireplace. On the Sound (Bay) side, you'll find ample sofas, board games, and a Vizio Smart TV with DirecTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. The functional kitchen offers plenty of prep area for the cook, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker and water dispenser, a dishwasher, a microwave, a range/oven, a coffee maker and all dishes, glasses, pots/pans, and silverware.



Four bedrooms flank the home. On the southeast, the Gulf-side bedroom offers a set of bunk beds and a sleeper sofa, with a DVD player/monitor for movie watching - perfect for the kids. The northeast Sound-side bedroom is furnished with a king bed and extra seating. The other two west-side bedrooms are also furnished with king beds and DirecTV. Between the bedrooms, guests will find bathrooms with separate single vanities. One of these bathrooms has a bathtub, and both have a shower. In addition, there is a guest half-bathroom with a toilet and vanity. Each of the four bedrooms has its own French doors that open on to the wraparound deck. You also have a utility closet with the washer/dryer, vacuum, broom, and iron/ironing board.



Enjoy the covered wraparound deck with views from every angle. There is a boardwalk to your own private, shade pavilion with hammocks and a picnic table. You can fish and swim right there in your own 'backyard.' Underneath Set Sail, you will find an additional outdoor living area with a shower, conversation seating area, gas grill, an additional picnic table, and a romantic swing overlooking the Sound (Bay) waters.



Linens and bath towels are provided, but you will need to bring your own beach towels. HVAC with ceiling fans are inside and out. Set Sail is graciously stocked with books, games, DVD movies, and music CDs. Parking for four cars is available under the house.



If you want to bring your four-legged family members along, Set Sail is a dog-friendly property. All pets must be reported at the time your reservation is made. The Town of Dauphin Island leash law requires dogs to be on leash and properly secured when outdoors and also requires that dog waste in rental property yards, beaches, and public areas be picked up and properly disposed of.



Things to know:

Free WiFi

Dogs are welcome (and are required to be on-leash when outdoors)

Please be aware that there is no Gulf beach access across the street

    This comfortable home gave us a great relaxing vacation for two families who came together. We had plenty of space and we’re able to relax and cook together and enjoy a beautiful home right on the water.

    My family of six enjoyed staying here very much. There was lots of space, a fully stocked kitchen, and very easy access to the beach via the private boardwalk. We cooked every meal here without needing to eat out, which is also a plus with small children. This is also a great location for children as they can spread out on the beach without having to worry about a crowded beachfront. Also because this beach is bayside on the island, the waters are calmer than on the gulf side. We saw lots of different wildlife while out at the beach too, including dolphins, something you don’t get at busier beaches. The rental was clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the shade of the gazebo by the beach and the hammocks. It was also nice being able to go back and forth from the beach to the rental so easily, especially with an infant who needed frequent breaks. We would gladly stay here again.

    We had a girls trip to celebrate my 92nd birthday. The house was great, spectacular view. All amenities we could ask for. The kitchen faucet would benefit from an aerator since it makes quite a splash. One thing would have made it better: a dumb waiter to help haul up gear. As a whole it was delightful for all of us.

    The home was spotless and had a very well stocked kitchen. I always travel with pots and pans that I use and it was unnecessary here. The wooden run to the gazebo made it very convenient for transporting ice chests, beach items, etc.. The beach was perfect, nearly private. My family will return to this home in the future!

    My family of 7 stayed in this beautiful, well equipped house for a week. Watched beautiful sunrises and sunsets, fished from the shore and floated in the water. Maintenance issues were addressed quickly. Sitting on the deck in the breeze was wonderful as there is usually a breeze coming from the gulf or the sound side. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Dauphin island!

    Lovely home great location. What an amazing collection the pillows. Slightly disappointed with performance of washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Heads up, one kayak leaks. We really appreciated the two kayaks. Please replace handle on the foot washer. Really love the design of the foot washer. Just wish it was not Rusty and sharp. Two of the six people using it got cut. Overall had a really delightful stay. Would rent again.

    We greatly enjoyed the gazebo & hammocks! It was super to not have to worry with tent or umbrellas. Beach area was perfect!

    Perfect place for our vacation. The house was very clean. They had hammocks and Kayaks. You need the password to use the Kayaks. You should ask them the password. It was fun. We wish we could stay again. However, the beach has some rocks in the water which can cause serious injuries, so I would advise you to watch out.
