Experience the Beauty of Paradise in this 5BR/4.5BA Home with Gulf View

This 5BR/4.5BA home boasts breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, making your vacation dreams come true. Located in a secure, gated community on the quiet East End of Dauphin Island, it offers ample space for your family and friends to spread out while enjoying each other's company. The spacious home sleeps 14.

The front deck is one of the home's highlights, spanning the width of the house and offering astunning view of the Gulf. You can relax in the tall outdoor chairs while taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The house is also equipped with Adirondack-style seating and an outdoor table under the house, providing a serene view of the maritime forest behind the home where you might glimpse an eagle, osprey, or fox in the dune. Kids will love building sandcastles in the backyard, and they can rinse off in the outdoor shower.

The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining guests, with a large living room with a flat-screen TV with Dish satellite and a half bath nearby. The formal dining room can accommodate six people, while the tiled kitchen bar can seat four. The kitchen has abundant cabinet space, extra dishes, glassware, silverware, crockpot, two microwaves, 15-cup coffee maker, highchair, booster seat and excellent supply of cookware. Stainless appliances are included, and an additional full-size refrigerator is in the laundry room adjacent to the kitchen.

The Master Bedroom is a luxurious retreat with a King bed, seating area, flat-screen TV, and DVD player. The Master Bath is equally impressive, with a generous countertop, two sinks, walk-in closets, a built-in dresser, a large shower, a garden jacuzzi tub, and a linen closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms offer Queen Beds and share a walk-through full bath. The 4th and 5th bedrooms are located upstairs, each with an attached full bath and each with a TV. The 4th bedroom has two twin beds and a bunk bed with a full-size mattress on the lower bunk, complete with built-in drawers for storage. Three can sleep in the 5th bedroom, which has a Queen bed, a day bed, and a flat-screen TV. Kids will love the bonus little finished attic space, which functions as a kid’s hideout/playroom with bean bag chairs.

Beach access is almost directly across the street from the home, with a boardwalk leading straight to the waves. You can enjoy beautiful views no matter where you look, and the East End location puts you close to the Estuarium, Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and Ferry Landing.

    Property was lovely, except For the ants!! Had to have the exterminator out to spray and still had problems! We had to be very careful with every crumb of food! Awful! WiFi only worked part of the time and my husband had to check in daily with his work which did not go well! Would have liked to known there was no way to have a service to set up beach chairs. My husband is not able to carry because of COPD so our beach time was very limited! Sorry the stay may be our last time he is retiring! And we may longer be able to come! Very, very disappointing!!

    Property was great, spacious, had lots of extras in case you left something at home. Not house related, but the one gate card per entire house is extremely inconvenient to be able to enjoy a vacation without time restraints. Also, listing needs to announce that you need taller vehicles from the constant flooding on the street. Its not just flooded occasionally, but after any amount of rainfall, which is often. We enjoyed lots of local businesses and the beach fishing was absolutely anazing.

    The property itself was great. No towel holders in any of the bathrooms. 10 cockroaches were found alive in the house. Diningroom chairs are nearly falling apart. They sway. The street in front had standing water the day we arrived. Then we got rain and it became impassable for about 36 hours. Stranded. No way to get anything to eat. But other than that it was wonderful. The beach was fantastic.

    We arrived later in the day after driving about 9 hours from Florida. The check in was seamless, the house was clean, beautiful and in such a fantastic location. We started to unpack and get settled in and noticed a few flying insects, this quickly tuned into an absolute swarm of termites which apparently is just something that happens in that area. There were hundreds and as you can imagine this was A LOT to deal with after a really long day on the road, the swarm didn’t last long, but the cleanup and gross factor was considerable, we contacted the rental group and weren’t really offered much help other than turning the lights out and waiting it out. I totally understand in hindsight that there really wasn’t much to do, but some sort of warning that there was a good possibility of this happening and to take some precautions such as keeping doors closed and lights out after a certain time would have gone a long way. To their credit, we were offered a discount because of the inconvenience which was considerate. Thankfully this was the only night we experienced this. We had some ants around the kitchen and had some trouble getting beach access due to some work being done but both of these issues were taken care of pretty quickly by the rental company, other than these things, we did have a great time, the beach is gorgeous, the water was the perfect temp and the house came equipped with everything you could possibly need, turtles in the pond behind the house were my kids fave!

    This property was perfect for our family beach trip. We had 5 couples and kids. It was in a great location for us. We could walk to the beach or easily drive ti the west end to the public beach.

    House was great, big house for 12 of us. Nice little beach across street. Only drawbacks were only having 1 keycard for gate with 3 cars. We had to make sure whoever would be back first had the card then had to walk down to let everyone in later. Power also went out some when it rained, 6 hours 1 morning. Went out for a minute several other times. It was fine when weather was good.
