About this property

the DREAMCATCHER at Indian Bay - A peaceful waterfront escape

Are you seeking refuge from your daily routine? Hoping to recharge your batteries, let your mind quiet itself and simply relax? Then "the DREAMCATCHER" is exactly what you have been waiting for. Peaceful sunrises and watercolor sunsets await just off the rear porch. Grab a hot cup of coffee and snuggle into an oversized chair as you watch the pelicans dive for their breakfast. Midday, hop on a paddle board or in a kayak to explore the beautiful desolate adjacent islands. In the evening, try your hand at fishing and cook it up fresh on the grill. Complete your day swaying in a hammock and sipping a cocktail as the evening breeze surrounds you and lulls you to sleep. Take this moment in time to pamper yourself. Our goal is for you to leave this place refreshed, relaxed and ready to embrace your next adventure!

Very lovely place

Dreamcatcher is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed.. the water view with boats going by was wonderful . My grandson especially loved this. He is 3.Everything was lovely. Dauphin island is low key and I suggest you check places to eat in advance b/c many are not open every day. West end beach at sunset is a marvel. Many amenities were included at the house like a big straw bag for beach going, a floater vest for small child , maps, soap and shampoo and many condiments. Very thoughtful.

Just What We Were Looking For!

We travel quite a bit and anywhere coastal is my favorite destination. Couldn't believe that we had not been to Dauphin Island in 10 years! Still the sleepy little island I remembered. And Heather's place was the PERFECT location for my husband and I to go for a long weekend for some rest and relaxation. Long lazy days sitting on the deck watching the sunrise, drinking coffee and watching the boats go by, reading my book at the sweet little beach we found nearby, bike rides around the island to watch the sunset and then back to the deck at the end of the day! Heather was so easy to communicate with and the house is beautiful! Highly recommend!

As soon as we walked into the Dreamcatcher, it was so clean, beautiful and charming to behold! Like we stepped into an enchanting hgtv beach show episode! We loved all the natural light and fun decor. The Dreamcatcher was the perfect location with a beautiful, expansive view of the bay. We enjoyed watching the boats go by and having our own dock. We used the crab traps and caught a few crabs which was a first time experience for us that we loved. We were able to use the beach cruisers available and rode them to the lighthouse bakery nearby for delicious smoothies and cinnamon rolls. Everything was close by- the beach, restaurants and the ferry to Gulf Shores! Heather, our host, always responded promptly to our needs and questions which made for the perfect experience for us. We highly recommend staying at the Dreamcatcher, you won’t be disappointed!!
