Welcome to Pelican’s Perch, a stunning Gulf front retreat where sweeping views, direct beach access, and spacious coastal living come together to create an unforgettable Dauphin Island getaway. Set on a rare private half acre Gulf front lot, this home offers both privacy and panoramic views, giving guests a front row seat to the beauty of the island.

Step inside to a bright, open concept living space where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together. Warm woodflooring, natural light, and coastal inspired décor create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere perfect for gathering with family and friends. The living room is designed for comfort, offering plush seating and expansive Gulf views, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the beach.

The kitchen is built for both everyday convenience and entertaining, featuring white cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with seating. Whether you're preparing a full family dinner or quick beach snacks, this space is fully equipped to meet your needs. A wet bar with a mini fridge just off the dining area adds extra convenience for entertaining. The dining table comfortably seats 10, with additional seating for 5 at the breakfast bar.

Sleeping Arrangements (sleeps 15):
• SE King Suite – King bed, TV, private bathroom, and direct access to the Gulf front deck

From sunrise coffee to sunset gatherings, the outdoor spaces create the perfect setting to take in the sights and sounds of the Gulf.

Spend your days exploring the beach just outside your door, or visit local favorites like Fort Gaines, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Enjoy fresh seafood and relaxed coastal dining just a short drive away.

    House was great - well a appointed, updated, and right on the beach. Good communication with the host - very responsive. Would definitely stay again.

    Great location. We come to Dauphin island every year and this was a great spot. Had to wait a few days to get wifi working due to a storm the previous week, but the forced disconnect was almost welcomed. We let the property manager know about a few items for the inside of the house we hope they address to make this house a 5 star. Blinds in master bedrooms were missing/broken, you really need the option of curtains if you want to sleep past 6:30. White couches in a home with families and allowed pets (we don’t bring ours), while they feel good for aesthetic were stained and felt dirty. We love the big kitchen and it had plenty of serving ware for 8 people, it was lacking on pots/pans and larger bowls for cooking for large crowds. We did let the property manager know and they rushed over with another set for us, which was great! Overall a great vacation to relax and unwind.

    Very nice house. Very close to beach. View of ocean covered with oil wells. Would not let us use the elevator . Took 2 days to get internet working.

    The property was nice and the management company was very responsive to any questions. One thing I forgot to mention in the property management survey was that the ice maker in the refrigerator was not working.

    Overall, our family loved our experience at this rental. We had ample space inside and out, great parking, and you cannot beat the proximity to the beach. My only other feedback is that it can definitely use some home maintenance in a few areas. Cabinet area Under the kitchen sink is pretty gross and needs a good deep clean, the towels and sheets all need to be updated, the blinds in the 2nd master are all broken and don’t work at all. We had no privacy from people on the porch or beach walkers at night. All of the The sliding door tracks need a good cleaning. They are pretty dirty. Again, these things did not affect our experience too much. However, I wouldn’t rent it again until these things are tended to.
