FOR THE BIRDERS IT'S LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!!
March through May is the spring neo-tropical migration where birds from Central and South America stop over for a rest on thier long journey. As many as 324 species have been seen on the island.
Its the perfect place for bird watching. Dauphin Island won Americas birdiest city award in the small coastal city category 2006!!! Guess what Dauphin Island won 2007 also !!!Our home is on the same street as the Shell Mound Park and Goat Tree Reserve. so walk from your home to bird watch .
This beautifully-decorated three bedroom, two bath home sleeps a maximum of six. It includes one king, one queen, and two twins.The open floor plan allows you to prepare your meals in the well equipped kitchen while watching the kids play air hockey or pool!! (The table flips for either pool or air hockey ).
We have a video library for those rainy days also books for the avid reader. my mom loves to sit on the deck and read.The golf course is close by with beautiful ocean views. One of our favorite things to do is go to Skinners and pick up some fresh shrimp for dinner. You cant beat the freshness !!!
Bring your bikes its a short ride to the beautiful white sandy beaches.If you have never experienced the beauty of the gulf coast . now is the time. You can load up the car for a 2 minute drive to the pier and beach. We are one block from Bienville Blvd.Not far from the Ship and Shore(the local grocery/hardware store), Grab the flashlight stay until dusk and go crabbing.
Kids love the excitement of crab catching!!Our son spent hours catching crabs in the back yard !! He actually caught 20 blue crabs which we boiled and ate!! Come enjoy the quiet island living and great family fun.We are on a quiet street with lots of singing birds...

Bay Watch Water Views!!! Book for Thanksgiving!!!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Dauphin Island
My best friend and her husband bought a condo here and we came to visit from San Diego Ca.We fell in love with this quiet little island.There are no crowds no matter when you are here if we were on the beaches in San diego it would be difficult with our 7 yr old because of the amount of people ( wall to wall) and the partying.Plus the water is so warm and calm!! Dauphin Island is like going back in time!! no crowds beautiful white sand beaches!! GREAT FOR FAMILIES!!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy the beautiful water views and the constant parade of boats.The neighborhood is quiet with lots of birds and close to the major attractions. The birding attractions are on our street!! Which I didn't know untill after we bought it!!We are a short bike ride to Fort Gaines, the Estuarium, We love the air hockey and pool table and the beachy decor!!!It Just feels like home when we come over the Dauphin Island Bridge.
Shell Mound Park is an 11 acre botanical treasure trove found on no other Gulf barrier island. Spring migration occurs March - May.
According to legend the trees served as shelter for the islands wild goats that would climb into the trees at night to escape hungry alligators . Its now home to many Warblers,Vireos< and Gnatcatcher

Both my husband and I were drawn to your site on the net for 2 reasons. The first was the beautiful view and the shade , which many houses on the west end cannot offer.And the second of course was the pooltable/air hockey. What a great table ,which provided many hours of enjoymentfor our family.We have enjoyed your home so much. Overall it was perfect ,peaceful, and private! I loved it!!!
