Amazing views, blissful sunsets, ocean breezes, and the sound of waves lapping at the shoreline await you at this fabulous, newly built, pet-friendly, beachfront home located directly on the Gulf of Mexico.
Villa Delphinus (named for the leaping dolphin constellation) was completed in June, 2008 and has a large, wrap-around, partially covered deck for panoramic views of the Gulf and Bay, with outdoor shower. The interior features a vaulted living room, bamboo flooring, 2 bedrooms with queen beds and sleeper sofa in the living room, 2 porcelain tiled bathrooms, and spacious, open living, dining, and kitchen areas.
This home has all new, high-end furnishings, appliances and amenities for your ultimate comfort and convenience, including: a fully stocked kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, blender and TV; full size washer & dryer; large Weber charcoal grill; WIFI, cable TV/DVD and phone connections; and linens/towels provided.
The living room features oversized windows overlooking the ocean, flat-screen TV/DVD combo, and sleeper sofa. The master bedroom with private bath has separate patio doors that open onto the ocean-side deck, and both bedrooms have cable TV and all new furnishings.
Villa Delphinus is located on the quiet, residential West End of Dauphin Island and is perfect for walks, bike rides, bird watching, fishing, exploring nature by the sea, or simply watching the dolphins play among the passing shrimp boats.
This beach house is also just a short walk to the new West End Beach, where you can enjoy bands, horseshoe and volleyball tournaments, jet skis, kites, and a variety of food and beverages all day long.
NOTE: 2008 hurricanes destroyed the island's protective berm and the surf now washes under the front deck, but this home is exceptionally well-built and is sure to please.
Once you get a taste of island life here, we're sure you'll want to make this little slice of paradise a permanent vacation destination! Check us out - our availability calendar is current and accurate.

We can’t believe we have almost finished our two weeks at your beautiful beach cottage. It was everything we hoped for. Everything that we needed, great location with almost no beach traffic for this late summer time, a very nicely designed beach house. David and Sheri Nashville, TN

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your beach house! Dauphin Island is so beautiful - a fisherman's heaven. The kids also had a blast and loved the ferry ride over to Fort Morgan. Thanks again!
