About this property

Luxury Bayfront Home with 6 Bedrooms, Private Pool, Jacuzzi - Tidal Wave

Tidal Wave is a beach lover’s dream, offering a seamless mix of relaxation, fun, and comfort right on the private sound-side beach of Dauphin Island. The home’s warm and welcoming interior gives off an elevated coastal vibe, filled with natural light, high ceilings, and thoughtful decor that blends traditional and modern styles. With a private pool and multiple outdoor spaces including a pergola-lit tide pool and an under-house entertainment area, Tidal Wave sets the stage for unforgettable family vacations and even weddings or events.

The open-concept living and dining area creates a large social hub with an oversized sectional, playful coastal accents, and a shared double-sided fireplace. The dining room’s farmhouse table comfortably seats ten, and the adjacent bar area makes for a great spot for casual conversation. The kitchen, just off the main living space, is a galley-style layout with a large central island, wall oven, and breakfast nook with bay windows that deliver direct beach views.

The sleeping arrangements at Tidal Wave include:
• East King Bedroom (First Floor): King bed, access to Jack-and-Jill bathroom with tub, shower stall, and large countertop space.
• East Bunk Room (First Floor): Two twin-over-full bunk beds with pull-out trundles, large TV, standing arcade console, and access to the Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
• NW King Suite (First Floor): Gulf-facing windows, private bathroom with a shower stall.
• SW Bunk Room (Second Floor): Single-over-full bunk bed.
• Master King Suite (Second Floor): King bed, TV, balcony access, luxurious bathroom with raised black jetted tub, panoramic views, black granite countertops, and a sleek modern design.
• East Queen Suite (Second Floor): Queen bed, TV, private balcony access, bay window beach views, private bathroom with shower-tub combo.

The outdoor experience at Tidal Wave is just as impressive as the inside. The first-floor deck includes covered dining, a grill, and a raised deck with a private heated pool (the heated pool can be turned on for an additional fee of $200 per day), offering panoramic beachfront views. Down below, a pergola-lit area surrounds a natural tide pool, with Adirondack chairs and a footpath leading to the private sound-side beach. This beach is perfect for younger swimmers thanks to its gentle slope and calm waters, free from rip currents and with fewer marine hazards than Gulf-side beaches.

The under-house area is more than just storage, it’s a beach hangout zone. Hammocks offer a relaxing spot with ocean views, while the game and fitness area features cornhole, giant Jenga, a punching bag, heavy rope, plyo boxes, and a pull-up bar with rings.

Tidal Wave also offers a golf cart rental option and is wedding- and event-friendly. The second-floor balcony offers shaded seating areas for enjoying the view, whether it's morning coffee or a glowing Gulf sunset.

As with all of our Dauphin Island Beach Rentals, all linens and towels are provided, WIFI, along with a fully-outfitted kitchen. There will be a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags; please plan on bringing more for day 2 ;). A great beach vacation is waiting on you!

Home was in great location with so much potential. Great amount of space for a large gathering. Spent thanksgiving with family here and we enjoyed it. The biggest negative with this property was the cleanliness and repairs that are needed. The home was not properly cleaned for our arrival, dirty floors, some rooms sheets were dirty, rugs had not been swept/shaken out (full of sand), toilets dirty. There are loose boards on the front porch rails, nails sticking out. The hot tub does not work (empty and dirty) which is one of the main reasons we booked this specific home, knowing we’d have colder weather. Overall, we loved the home but the negatives outweighed the positives. I’d wish to come back one day and see there to be more effort in maintaining the property.

House layout was perfect for 2 familys. Easy access to the beaches and pool was a hit when people didn't want to go far. Main room was excellent for group games. Double counters made laying out snacks for grazing a breeze.

Another excellent stay at Tidal Wave! Every type of water our group could want, easily accessible—pool, lagoon, bay beach, gulf beach. Several spacious rooms to retreat to, as well as places to gather. The giant sectional is the stuff of legends. The addition of a second fridge this year made keeping our forever hungry and thirsty kids happy a breeze. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great Stay

This was a beautiful home and a wonderful place to stay. Each bedroom was well put together most with their own bathroom which was great for our family! The location is superb and having access to our own little section of beach was wonderful. We could of spent our entire stay just at the property and had plenty to do if we wanted. Highly recommend and plan to return in the future!

Spacious and close to the beach and the bay

We enjoyed our stay! We had 4 families with children and my mom and we had plenty of room to hang out and spread out. The heated pool and hot tub were perfect for the kids and late night swims. We enjoyed how close we were to the beach and the bay... a quick walk across the street to the beach. The area was quiet and serene and the stay exceeded our expectations.

Perfect Choose Your Own Adventure Launchpad

I cannot imagine a better spot for a large group with varied interests and abilities! It was just as easy to cozy up and enjoy the view with the infants, as it was to splash in the gentle bay and chase hermit crabs with the toddlers, fish in the lagoon with the teens, or splash in the pool with the tweens. There are enough rooms for everyone to have a quiet home base, and the common areas are spacious and inviting for everyone to gather and have the BEST time. We could not have enjoyed our stay more!

Great vacation home

It was a wonderful home away for our family. Plenty of room for us all. The kitchen had everything we needed. LOVED the 2 washers & dryers! Dave was there when we needed him. We spent lots of time in the pool and hot tub. The ocean views were beautiful. The area is well worth visiting..

Beautiful Location- Relaxing Stay

The house is very spacious with lots of comfortable areas to relax in. The kitchen was very nice as it was in "cook ready shape." We made dinner every night since the kitchen had the tools to be able to accomplish that. The view and the secluded nature of the house was also wonderful. There are minor cosmetic updates that need tending to (the pool deck and pool itself as well as the laundry room area), however overall the home is very welcoming and comfortable. The onsite property mgmr was awesome!! Super accommodating of our group needs. We will definitely be back in the future!!

Spring Break!

We loved this house! The size was perfect for our large group. The heated pool and hot tub were awesome and views off the decks were amazing. There was so much space and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and silverware. Having two washers and dryers was perfect! When we had an issue with the hot tub the property communicated promptly and Dave came over and fixed it right away! He was great☺ We will definitely be back!

The house was perfect for are large group. The kitchen was stocked with all the essential tools fir cooking. There is a huge pantry for dry goods as well as a grill. The kids and adults loved the pool. The house is on the bayside, your able to walk out a good distance and still be able to touch. The manager was very nice and stayed in touch to answer any questions. Huge living room great for movie nights. Tons of seating in the dining areas. Rooms are very nice with plenty of beds for a large group.

Friends and family getaway

We had a great time at the house. It's big enough to accommodate everyone. Only downside was the jets not working in the hot tub and the pool not being heated until 2 days into our trip. (that was my fault partly as I thought it was heated until may). Anyways the location was great, we saw dolphins playing while we sat on the deck. The house was clean and they answered any and all calls and questions right away. If I can afford it I will be back. Absolutely beautiful

A great house for a family gathering!!

We loved coming to the west end of Dauphin Island. We were amazed that the property was in such great shape after all of the hurricanes/storms this past season. Our family loved the pool and the first two days the pool was heated and everyone had so much fun. Even though the boardwalk had been damaged by the hurricane, we enjoyed trekking out to both sides of the island, looking for seashells and enjoying the beauty of the water. The kitchen was wonderful, we had plenty of seating and dishes and utensils. When we asked for a toaster, we received it. The internet did not work well, it could have been from the storms. The house could use a really good scrubbing and windexing to get ready for the new year. We loved the space, the location, and the overall ambiance!! Thanks, Dauphin Island Rentals!!

Has Potential

Clean, easy access, comfy beds, quick response, great home layout. Plenty of room for our family of 14. But this home needs some love. Water spots/mold on ceilings on both floors, decking has some pretty weak areas and chipping paint, some doors to outside don’t lock others won’t unlock some don’t shut. Closet door and cabinet door falling/fell off. Pool/hot tub leak to wear hose has to stay in/running. And with pictures it looks like front is on the ocean/beach and back on bay. You technically have to walk down drive across street to a beach access. Just needs some love to be at the price point that it is. We understand things aren’t going to be perfect, but as our family with 8 adults have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals this one just wasn’t up to par.

Very Nice House

Overall the house and experience was Great. I will say the island isn't layed out the best, house are just put up where ever they fit. No rhyme or reason to where houses are. The house is clean and spacious, the beds are comfortable. We cooked almost every meal and there was acquit cooking utensils and plates/cups. House sits with a deck to the water, with the rear of the house facing Mobile. We had a group of 11 total with 4 being kids and 2 of them under 2. We stayed in February 2018. We choose not to heat the pool, as we were uncertain as to how well the pool would stay heated. We had delightful weather. Sunny and 65 most days. The hot tub was not functional when we arrived, as they had lots of rain prior to our arrival, which lead to the circuit breaker for the hot tub to trip. I called up our contact and they had someone over promptly to get it on. It did take a bit to warm up, about 8 hours. The only hiccups we had were this. Power loss and Gas for grill running out. The power outage was due to the power company having to do updates to their system, and was out of the rentals control. We were notified and were able to make plans accordingly. The gas for the grill ran out the first day we grilled. We went and refilled the tank.

Decent stay

The kitchen is not fully stocked to have enough for the amount of ppl that could stay there. Specially not enough cups or forks. Things are arranged very oddly in the kitchen. Felt like we were searching more than anything. The ice maker on the fridge couldn’t keep up. The toilet in the master bathroom upstairs leaks. The WiFi isn’t good it was very spotty which was hard when some still needed to make work calls. The door to the balcony in the bunk room upstairs wouldn’t open. The balcony doors in the master bedroom leaked and had puddles when it rained. It also leaked around the windows in the downstairs bunk room and around the windows in the dinning room. The pool and hot tub was probably the worst they were the reason we rented the house. It wasn’t heated when we got there even though I paid extra for it. The hot tub never really got hot. The pool was good then the maintenance ppl came and it was cold again for like 2 days before they came out and fixed it again and it got warmer but the hot tub is not hot! I guess that is the biggest issue I had because we paid extra for that! The beds were not great! Some of the outside chairs are broken. We had a nice time but wouldn’t stay here again like it is. The kitchen is definitely big so that’s good and it has a pantry to put stuff. We all loved the couch it was bug enough for almost all of us!!
