About this property

Perfect for Families! 5BR/3BA on Dauphin Island! Bay & Gulf + Tons of Deck Space

Survivor is a quiet, family-friendly waterfront vacation home located on beautiful Dauphin Island. Perfect for large families and group getaways, this spacious home offers the rare advantage of calm bay waters directly behind the house and the Gulf of America just a short walk across the street.

With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and almost 3,000 square feet of living space, Survivor comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests. The home is ideal for multi-family vacations, extended family trips, or anyone looking for space to relax while enjoying the natural beauty of the Island.

The property sits directly on the Mississippi Sound, where guests can step off the back deck onto a wide, sandy bayfront beach. The shallow, calm waters are perfect for swimming, floating, and relaxing, especially for families with children. There are no strong waves or rip currents on the bay side, making it a favorite spot for many guests. Guests may also beach a small boat or jet ski directly behind the home. For those seeking more active water, the Gulf of America is just across the street and offers opportunities for boogie boarding, skim boarding, and body surfing.

Inside, the home features a large open living area with 12-foot ceilings, abundant seating, and beautiful sunset views. The living room includes a large smart TV and a gas fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering space for relaxing or entertaining. The dining area includes a custom-built table that seats ten, along with additional bar seating for four, making meals together easy and enjoyable.

The fully equipped kitchen is a guest favorite and includes a flat-top stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, and a full selection of cookware, dishes, and utensils. A walk-in pantry provides ample storage for groceries and beach snacks!

All five bedrooms are spacious and designed for comfort. Upstairs bedrooms feature deluxe bedding, smart TVs, large walk-in closets, and enough space to accommodate air mattresses or cots if needed. Two of the bedrooms serve as primary suites and offer private access to the upper deck, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening sunsets. Jack-and-Jill bathrooms connect the upstairs bedrooms, with one bathroom featuring an indoor Jacuzzi tub.

One of Survivor’s standout features is the extensive outdoor living space. Over 2,000 square feet of deck space wraps the back of the home, offering both shaded and sun-filled areas. Guests can relax, dine outdoors, grill, or take in the stunning bay views and sunsets. The decks are furnished with lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table, and both charcoal and gas grills.

The downstairs area provides additional convenience with a storage room for beach chairs, toys, umbrellas, and coolers, as well as an ice machine! HUGE plus for guests! An outdoor shower is located beneath the house for rinsing off after beach days! Guests will also enjoy the wooden swing, and covered parking beneath the home.

Survivor offers a unique combination of space, comfort, and location, providing easy access to both calm bay waters and the Gulf beaches. It is an ideal choice for guests seeking a relaxing Dauphin Island vacation in a well-appointed, waterfront home.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Haas

Host profile image
I currently live in Mobile, Al. I am a retired teacher and I have always loved the ocean! My whole family likes to fish and I could not think of a better place to do that besides Dauphin Island. Another one of my favorite things to do is walk down the beach and hear the waves in this peace and calm environment. Dauphin Island is a quiet, family beach and does not have a lot of loud partying going on. The houses are spread apart enough to remedy that situation.

I like living only forty minutes away so that I can use this spacious house when it is not rented. It is also convenient to take care of maintenance problems if they occur. I have seen many couples start their marriage by renting this house for their ceremony. I tell them their marriage must survive since the name of the house is "Survivor"!

Why they chose this property

Dauphin Island is the idyllic quiet beach town! Ideal for quality family time! Plus the fishing is world known!

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly unique is its rare location between the bay and the Gulf. Guests can enjoy calm, shallow bay waters directly behind the home and walk just across the street to the Gulf of Mexico for waves and beach activities. This “best of both worlds” setting is especially ideal for families, offering safe swimming on the bay side and easy access to Gulf beaches when desired.

The home also stands out for its size and layout. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, it comfortably accommodates large families and multi-family groups without feeling crowded. Extensive deck space overlooking the water provides exceptional outdoor living, sunset views, and plenty of room to relax, dine, and gather.

Additional features such as the ability to beach a small boat or jet ski in the backyard, a large bayfront beach, and thoughtful amenities designed for group stays make this home a standout choice on Dauphin Island.
