Why the Owner Chose Dauphin Island
We chose Dauphin Island because it is a great getaway only 45 minutes or so from our primary residence, yet seems a world away. When we cross the bridge to the island we feel like we are on vacation, even if it's just for the weekend! We love that the island has some of the best food around! We love cinnamon rolls from Lighthouse Bakery (if you ride a bike to get it the calories don't count), and pizza from Island Rainbow. Fresh shrimp from Skinner's is a favorite dinner.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home is located on the East end of Dauphin Island, in a quiet, residential area with private neighborhood pool and beach. We hope that visitors to our home will feel like they have their own beach house for the week they are there. Our home is well equipped with everything WE need, so you will probably find everything you need! This is not just a "rental home", it is our second home, and we love sharing it and Dauphin Island with our guests.

Owner's Map of Dauphin Island
Our family loves Dauphin Island. This is a photo of us on the back deck of our home. We built our home in 2002, and have enjoyed many fun times at the home. Our boys enjoy skimboarding, playing on the beach, and having friends down to the island to visit. We love to relax on "the most comfortable sofas in the world" and on our screen porches and back deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities. We had so much fun tfishing, biking to the ends of the island, seeing the craters on the moon, shelling and boning up on our tennis...our only regrets are we had no more time!
