Gulf side beach bungalow with tons of charm!

We love staying here. The kitchen is fully equipped. There are beach towels to use and beach chairs in the storage room downstairs. And the porch is absolutely amazing.

This house is wonderful. The interior is so different from your normal blue and white beach interior. We absolutely loved the decor and feel of the house. The kitchen is well stocked.

Can't say enough about every single solitary thing about this wonderful home. There was nothing we needed that the owners had not thought of before we even needed it. Spices, utensils, knives, beach supplies , Tupperware...too much to list. Beautiful and clean and the screened porch is only one of very few on the island.I can't wait to book and come back for a longer stay. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

This place had everything my family needed for a great price. The bathrooms and kitchen were very nicely done, looks like a recent remodel. The home was very tastefully decorated with lots of mid-century modern furniture, decor, and kitchenware. The home has a washer and dryer and a cordless vacuum to get all the sand up! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay there. The beach is literally a few minutes away just over the dunes.

This home is so cozy and accommodating! It is perfect!

This was our second stay here and we love it! Great location, short walk to beach for our 3-year-olds. House is beautifully decorated and meticulously organized.

Centrally located, most comfortable beds, awesome owner communication and house had everything that you could ever need!

This was the cutest, best stocked rental we have ever stayed at-so many thoughtful extra little touches! The decor was amazing-love love love!! Can’t wait to go back already! Thank you for sharing your lovely home away from home with our family!

We always have a wonderful time and stay at this camp. Great time with family! Beautiful camp, very clean, well stocked and beach time with my family was amazing! As always we will be back. Thank y’all sooo much!

Very comfortable home. Close to the beach. Many thoughtful touches. Beautiful updated bathroom Eating outside on the covered porch was so nice. The bed was memory foam-not used to that and not a fan, personally. I would stay again without hesitation!

I highly recommend this place. It is the best stocked home we have ever stayed in on a vacay. Perfect location. Exceptionally clean. Super cute ! I was excited to see they had a book series by one of my favorite authors that I read, and we played some of the board games they had as well. (The Goonies :)) all the comforts of home away from home!

Just what we were looking for to get away for two weeks. House is warm and cozy. While we were there it was both warm and cold and everything was fine. Steps away from the beach and everything you need for an enjoyable stay. House has everything you need along with gracious hosts.

This is our second time staying at the Elma Catherine. It’s a spacious house. Super comfortable and clean. The kitchen has been updated since our first stay and it is great. Fully equipped. A short walk to the beach. We love it here.

Cute MCM style and great sleeping arrangements. A quick easy walk to the beach. Owners were very helpful and communicative. We'll look for this property if we come back to Dauphin Island in the future.

We would absolutely stay here again! The home is beautifully decorated and cozy. The screened porch was our favorite part. We had coffee in the rocking chairs in the morning and played games at the table at night. The walk to the beach was much shorter than I imagined. It’s an easy walk made even easier with the beach wagon that’s already there. The host was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed! The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch.

This place was absolutely perfect for me and my family to get away prior to the end of summer. The host is amazingly accommodating and commutative to all my questions. I couldn’t recommend more. We will be checking its availability for future trips.

The bungalow is perfect! My family and I have made DI a yearly tradition and are hopeful Elma Catherine will always be available for us! This was our third year! ?

Loved the house for our family of four. Close to the beach. Hosts were wonderful. We will definitely revisit!

We had another great stay at the Elma Catherine! This is our second trip, and it was just as lovely and wonderful as we remembered. Perfect location right near the beach with all the amenities we needed. Perhaps the best praise comes from my 9 year old who said, “When I’m older, maybe I can buy the Elma Catherine and stay here forever.” We had a tough time leaving, and we’re already planning when we can return! Thank you!

This is our 3rd or 4th visit to the Elma Catherine, and we loved every minute of our weekend. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches. Early morning coffee on the screened porch is a favorite.
