Private Beach & Private Dock for Fishing! Bring Dogs! AUGUST DISCOUNTS -15-20%

UNIQUE SET-UP: steps away from not just one beach, but two beaches! Walk out back 100 feet down your private boardwalk which is connected to your own dock for fishing on the Northside bay.. Or, out front you can walk South and in 5 minutes you will keep walking across our neighborhood pathway to the Gulf Beach. That area is not accessible to the general public. It's ONLY available to folks staying in the neighborhood.

DOG FRIENDLY! We welcome up to 4 dogs! They enjoy our decks, our beaches, and the pet ammenities and comforts we provide.

OUTSTANDING VIEWS of BEAUTIFUL NATURE: The beach grass sways and while relaxing on your back deck you will often see Pelicans flying and Dolphins jumping. Sunrise, sunset -- relax and soak it all in...

ENJOY YOUR PRIVATE DOCK AND PIER ! BRING YOUR BOAT ALONG!
Have fun casting your fishing lines, or just hanging out! The dock even lights up at night, which is super fun.

Many guests bring their boat on a trailer, park it under our large carport under the house, and roll it down to the water. Depending on the size of your boat, you can moor it to the dock. Just ask Deborah, our host, for more info.

QUICK SUMMARY of INDOORS:
4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths plus outdoor enclosed shower. Spacious 2075 square foot open floor plan with 2nd floor loft/parlor overlooking living room. Huge windows with bay views everywhere in the soaring 18 foot high living room. Well-equipped kitchen has everything. Large laundry room with washer/dryer and sink. Free wifi internet & 3 large flat screen TVs.

OUTDOOR DECKS: Big, double deck out back on the North side faces the bay. Enjoy covered shade and open sunny areas, eating tables, super comfy chairs. Sliding doors in living room and master bedroom open up to this deck. Out front is your second covered deck with comfy chairs and a clear view of the Gulf beach.

GRILL: Our Charcoal grill is set up underneath a roofed area, and you can enjoy an awesome view of the bay while you cook.

BEST LOCATION ON THE STREET: Our house is the second to last house on the street (cull de sac). It's a very quiet location, and it's located at a section where the beach is much "wider". This ensures more space, and more privacy for you.

THIS IS THE MOST PET FRIENDLY PLACE YOU WILL FIND. We actually allow up to 4 dogs, any size. The Sundeck out back has a latched gate to contain the pups. As mentioned already, dogs are allowed on the bay beach and gulfside beach. We have a convenient outdoor doggy hose to wash them off AND we provide washable Dog Couch Covers and Dog Bed Covers when they relax indoors.

BIG CARPORT: Park your cars, trucks or boats under large, roofed carport with solid concrete pad. This pad has a superior design, perfect for water drainage to keep it dry.

MORE DETAIL ON 4 BEDROOMS and 3 BATHROOMS:

-One of the King bedrooms is considered your "master" suite located on first floor with its own Smart TV set and wide glass doors opening up to the deck which faces the bay. Again, great unobstructed views. Attached to the master is a large bathroom.

-Second bedroom on first floor has a queen size bed and a private deck balcony which overlooks the breezy gulf side. It is close to our second downstairs bathroom.

- Third bedroom is upstairs - King Size Bed

-Fourth bedroom upstairs has 2 Twin Beds .

Plus there is a convenient pull-out futon in the upstairs living area, in front of the upstairs TV.

THere is another full bath upstairs.

LIVING SPACE/FIRST FLOOR:
Large airy open two-story living room, dining table and fully equipped kitchen with new appliances. The dining and living room areas open onto the back deck, with sliding glass doors.

SECOND FLOOR has a large open living area with our third TV, as well as the 2 second floor bedrooms already described. Tall windows face both the Gulf side AND the Bay side from the second floor.

DAMAGE PROTECTION FEE of $59 REQUIRED. This will be included when you perform your instant booking.

WE ALSO OWN HOUSE NEXT DOOR:
If the week you want at FishBones is booked, check our other house right next door: 'Sea Dream'. See VRBO listing 258081.

Or, both houses can be rented together on the same dates, depending upon availability. Our guests who have rented our 2 houses side by side have enjoyed a delightful family & friends compound for reunions, beach weddings, and special occasions.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Smith

Host profile image
We are nature and animal lovers and we appreciate Dauphin Island for its largely unspoiled natural setting. We love dogs and welcome up to 4 doggies as guests.
We purchased this home because it is 100 steps from the Bay Beach, has a large private dock and boardwalk, and it also has quick access to the Gulf Beachside. The house has big windows upstairs and down with spectacular views of water from all sides! We provide great ammenities. We are delighted to offer suggestions for island activities, nature walks, quiet scenic spots, awesome restaurants, fishing trips, kayaks to rent, and more! Guests come back again and again, year after year!

Why they chose this property

Our part of the island, the West End, is more secluded and quiet than other neighborhoods, and you can see both sunrise and sunset and water views from either of our houses. We own the house next door as well. Keep in mind that Dauphin Island is not developed with hotels and high rises. It's a beautiful and serene barrier island. We chose this street because it's the perfect example of that serenity! Our road is a cull-de sac and is therefore even more private than other island roads. Plus our houses are on the end of the road, where the sugar sand Bay Beach widens, providing even more privacy.

Our friends and visitors love coming here to de-stress, unwind, watch the pelicans and the dolphins, soak in the salt air, hear the waves, and let the pups play . Its more private and quiet than most beach destinations. This is a very dog friendly beach and well behaved pups are welcome! The Bay Beach here is quieter and the waves much more gentle than the Gulf beach. Little children and smaller pups love playing, swimming and wading in these blue waters.

What makes this property unique

Four key reasons why our property is "Unique".
1) SUPER DOG FRIENDLY: we accept up to 4 well-behaved dogs as guests! Highly unusual on Dauphin Island.

2) OUR LARGE DOCK has two levels with an upper roof ideal for sun shade. We also have night lights on the dock, so you can fish day or night. Awesome!

3) ACCESS TO PRIVATE BAYSIDE BEACH AND GULF BEACH: You have your choice of our sugary sand private Bay Beach or take a quick walk across the main road (400 feet from our front door) to a private easement leading to the Gulfside Beach. The easement is a short sandy path available ONLY to you and neighbors. So, if you are in the mood for bigger waves and a different vibe - you' ve got it! Best of both worlds the Bay Beach AND Gulf Beach.

4) FAMILY COMPOUND AVAILABILITY: We own this house Fishbones, and the house next door called SeaDream. So, both houses can be rented at the same time for family and friend getaways, reunions, weddings on the beach and other celebrations! Just ask! Discounts available if both houses rented together.
