About this property
The Sanderling - Family Friendly Large Gulf View Home in Gated Community
Experience the Beauty of Paradise in this 5BR/4.5BA Home with Gulf View
This 5BR/4.5BA home boasts breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, making your vacation dreams come true. Located in a secure, gated community on the quiet East End of Dauphin Island, it offers ample space for your family and friends to spread out while enjoying each other's company. The spacious home sleeps 14.
The front deck is one of the home's highlights, spanning the width of the house and offering a stunning view of the Gulf. You can relax in the tall outdoor chairs while taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The house is also equipped with Adirondack-style seating and an outdoor table under the house, providing a serene view of the maritime forest behind the home where you might glimpse an eagle, osprey, or fox in the dune. Kids will love building sandcastles in the backyard, and they can rinse off in the outdoor shower.
The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining guests, with a large living room with a flat-screen TV with Dish satellite and a half bath nearby. The formal dining room can accommodate six people, while the tiled kitchen bar can seat four. The kitchen has abundant cabinet space, extra dishes, glassware, silverware, crockpot, two microwaves, 15-cup coffee maker, highchair, booster seat and excellent supply of cookware. Stainless appliances are included, and an additional full-size refrigerator is in the laundry room adjacent to the kitchen.
The Master Bedroom is a luxurious retreat with a King bed, seating area, flat-screen TV, and DVD player. The Master Bath is equally impressive, with a generous countertop, two sinks, walk-in closets, a built-in dresser, a large shower, a garden jacuzzi tub, and a linen closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms offer Queen Beds and share a walk-through full bath. The 4th and 5th bedrooms are located upstairs, each with an attached full bath and each with a TV. The 4th bedroom has two twin beds and a bunk bed with a full-size mattress on the lower bunk, complete with built-in drawers for storage. Three can sleep in the 5th bedroom, which has a Queen bed, a day bed, and a flat-screen TV. Kids will love the bonus little finished attic space, which functions as a kid’s hideout/playroom with bean bag chairs.
Beach access is almost directly across the street from the home, with a boardwalk leading straight to the waves. You can enjoy beautiful views no matter where you look, and the East End location puts you close to the Estuarium, Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and Ferry Landing.
Linens are provided for your convenience, and the home has a charcoal grill. Please note that renters must be at least 25 years old. Additional charges include a cleaning fee, 11% lodging tax, non-refundable reservation fee, and damage waiver. Optional travel insurance is also available.
