Second Wind is a popular Dauphin Island beach rental with great Gulf views and is just across the 2-lane street from the Gulf of Mexico Beach.

Second Wind has an ideal beach house layout- 4 bedrooms, a Game Room, a small, private, heated pool, and roof-top Crow’s Nest; it’s easy to see why this beach house is one of the most popular vacation rentals on Dauphin Island.

This elevated, two-story home has a Master Suite on the first level with a private full bath. There is also a half-bath off the kitchen. The Great Room is large, open, and has a flat-screen TV over the fireplace. The Second Level has three bedrooms, two of which share a Jack and Jill half bathroom with a shower. There is a third full bathroom on this level and a Game Room (great for nighttime or rainy days). The 4th bedroom is a small bunk room just off the Game Room, which is quite small and suitable for children. The rooftop has a “Crow’s Nest,” which provides panoramic views of the Island. This house is NOT Pet-Friendly.

Gulf Beach access is 1/8 mile from the end of your driveway!

As with all of our Dauphin Island Beach Rentals, all linens and towels are provided, WIFI, along with a fully-outfitted kitchen. There will be a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags; please plan on bringing more for day 2 ;). A great beach vacation is waiting on you! The pool is heated from October thru April.

Pool Heating Note: Pool temperature can vary during cooler months, as the system relies on outdoor air temperatures. In colder conditions (around 50°F), heating may be less effective or temporarily unavailable (45°F and below), and it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature when weather allows.

    Beautiful views from the top of the building, including gorgeous sunsets. Very nicely decorated to enjoy the natural light inside. Fun little porch pool!!

    We had 3 families with kids raging from 2-15. The crows next was the best part of this house. We watched every sunrise up there with our coffee. Spent a lot of time playing pool and foosball which was helpful for entertaining children. The pool was also great for the young children who weren't the biggest fans of the ocean. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation! It was so easy to communicate with the hosts. If you decide to stay here say hi to the mourning dove that hangs out by the house....we named him Dave!

    We loved staying at Second Wind! Location, location, location. Proximity to beach was almost like being ON the beach. Spacious home with plenty of sleeping space and 3 1/2 baths. The Crow’s Nest was perfect for DI fireworks display and viewing the amazing Alabama sunsets.

    Everything was perfect. Wi-Fi was out but fixed the next day. Pool water was a little too cool but t they came right out and adjusted the temperature and it was great from then on. Needed propane for the grill, got it the next day. Could not have asked for better customer service. Lots of room and plenty of sleeping areas. Will definitely stay again. Go on the beach at 6-7am and load up on good shells

    Had a family week at Dauphin Island, house was perfect for multi generational family. Swimming pool on the deck, pool table upstairs and roof top deck were big hits. Down side was lots of stairs to get in the house. In general a good stay

    This was a great location to just come to chill without all the crazy tourist action. We were 2 families that are best friends 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2 to 11 the pool is small but perfect for kiddos! I loved that they always had something to do whether it be ride scooters, play at the beach or swimming in the pool. Although there is plenty to do on the island, we did venture off the island by taking the ferry over to Ft Morgan which we highly recommend. Overall could've been cleaner upon arrival but wasn't unacceptable. We did have to leave a day early due to typical Strom Ida but that couldn't be prevented.

    Great location for the price, and the ability to accommodate pets. The crows nest on the roof has an incredible view, and the living room area with a large sectional is a great place to relax at the end of the day. But it needs some home improvements. The crows nest has a great view but there are several nails that need to be hammered back in. The wood boards around the deck need attention, one next to the pool came apart when stepping on one side. There was mildew on the shower curtain on the main floor. And most importantly- the mattresses. They are old and in very poor condition.
