About this property
Screened in Porch 5 BR/4.5 Bath - sleeps 14-18 w/Beach Gear, Cargo Lift
Sleeps 14 in all beds and sleeper sofa. Can sleep additional 4 people if you want to use the 2 new twin mattresses and 2 blow up beds placed in any open space. But wait - there's more! Can sleep 2 littles in the 2 pack and plays for a total of 20. Fun spacious beach house with a screened-in porch in a no-flood zone-- one that offers stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico's soul-soothing waves. Big plus for this location is it is still accessible when most flooding occurs on the west end! A rare feature on gulf side homes is a screened-in section of the 1700 sq ft wraparound deck which spans the length of the house and features plenty of outdoor lounging and dining area. Well-designed floor plan offers a homey feel to this pet-friendly vacation house with 3200 sq ft of living space. Perfect for large groups as there is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy together or separate time.

About the host
Hosted by Teresa Arthur
We love Dauphin Island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why they chose this property
The screened in porch is perfect for those times when the mosquitoes just won't stop! Comfy deck furniture with perfect views of the gulf make this a favorite place on the whole property. Besides the screened in area, there are several open decks for sun lovers.
The whole house is spread out giving guests lots of room - the TV den is a great place for gaming or teen hang out.
