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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great cottage!

The cottage was just what we needed for our family. It gave everyone separation and privacy. The house was fully stocked with any item you may have forgotten. It is not directly on the beach but conveniently located in the center both directions. We were just two houses down from the bakery and walking distance of many shops. Beautifully decorated and access to beach items that were very helpful. We would definitly stay again.

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.

This is A lovingly renovated cottage with room and privacy for everyone!

We had the opportunity to spend 3 nights here and will absolutely return for our next trip.The location is central to the island activities and a quick walk to lots of activities.Our youngest was able to complete his virtual coursework via zoom with fantastic connection.The back screened porch was perfect and we were all thrilled with the hammock, grill and outdoor shower as well.The hosts have bikes and beach chairs available that reduced our packing.Two separate cooling systems made keeping everyone content and the kitchen is well stocked and sparkling clean.The spaces were thoughtfully decorated and this is very much a home, not just a condo rental.Even the landscaping is freshly updated and lovely.Reserve this listing with confidence.I look forward to spending more time here with my family.

Perfect cottage for a rainy weekend

We have three couples and there was a ton of room. The screen porch on the back was where we spent most of our time because we had a lot of rain and it was perfect. Mary was extremely accommodating and helpful. We’ll be sure to come back

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.
