About this property

Art & Soul Vintage Cottage, fully remodeled and minutes from the Beach!

This historic cottage was built in 1950 on the earliest street on the island. It is fully remodeled with a large addition, screened porch and family friendly outdoor deck. The village center location affords an easy walk or bike ride to Shell Mound Park, the Goat Trees, beaches, parks, bakery and restaurants. Nestled beneath heritage oak trees, serenity abounds in quiet spaces throughout this vintage home.

A full kitchen adjoins a separate dining room. There are two living room areas with televisions. The larger has a second eating area with a wet bar and ice machine. One bedroom and full bath can be partitioned for privacy. In addition, the cottage has two more bedrooms, a pullout sofa, a second bathroom, and a half bath/laundry room. Outside, enjoy the screened front porch with wooden swing and wicker furniture. In back, the larger screened porch offers a teak table for outdoor dining and an additional conversation area. The newly expanded back deck provides a large space for outdoor activities, including an enclosed outdoor shower, picnic table and grill. A covered spacious stainless steel table and hot/cold water sink double as a wet bar or ample space to clean the day’s catch. On a rainy day, little ones can enjoy the large chalkboard and play area under the back porch.

Great beach cottage in Dauphin Island!
Stayed a few days at Dauphin Island and really enjoyed this beach cottage. It's only a few blocks from the beach and accessible to everything on the island. Owners were very responsive and helpful with any request. Great place to stay if wanting a laid back stay on the island.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a family that fell in love with this island! Three years ago we actually fulfilled our dream and moved here. Our sweet cottage is a wonderful place for us to host people who want to relax and get away from it all! We love this island and hope that you experience all that it has to offer . . . the sunsets, sunrises, bird sanctuary, sea lab, delicious seafood and the people. Dauphin Island is a paradise for so many . . . photographers, birders and beachcombers alike. Welcome to our cottage!

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is in the "Village", the center of the island, accessible to all the beaches, and within walking distance of the best bakery and birdwatching spots on the island.

What makes this property unique

The cottage accommodates 8 and is perfect for two families to visit the island together. The old and new part are divided by a door that lends privacy for parents and children or different family groups. The cottage is conveniently located, just a short drive or bike ride to the beach. We are are also just around the corner from Shell Mound Park, down the street from the Goat Trees, a short walk to Ship and Shore, and two blocks from the Light House Bakery.
