About this property
River House minutes to Dauphin Island. Perfect getaway for quiet peaceful rest
Short drive to Dauphin Island on the Gulf of Mexico. Come rest yourself with family in this lovely waterfront home. Secluded, private property with acreage for children to play and explore nature. Comfortable furnishings, screened porches to feel the soft breezes. Relaxing and peaceful. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A large screened area for relaxing, barbecuing, or playing ping pong. You can fish from the dock, or sunbathe while viewing the river. And yes, there are alligators in the river. While they are rarely seen, the gators are there and usually as afraid of humans and we are of them.
While staying in this lovely home surrounded by lots of trees and water, there will be squirrels, deer, raccoons, birds, frogs and verbal insects (cicadas) to notice during your tranquil time here.
Dauphin Island is about 15 minutes away. You can also visit the Historic Fort Gaines, the Sea Lab and Estuarium (with some hands on attractions that will fascinate the kids). Lots of restaurants, and the freshest seafood is right next door.
The historical Bellingrath Gardens (10 minute drive) with its beautiful blooms all year is a sight to see. Takes about 30 minutes to get to Mobile with all the attractions there.
Please review the house rules prior to booking. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kate at 251-802-7837
We'd love to have you visit.

What makes this property unique
The view of Fowl River is very attractive and peaceful. An exclusive hide away from all the hustle and bustle of traffic and noise.
A large screened area below the house is perfect for outdoor dining or playing ping pong, or just relaxing. There is also a screened upstairs porch, that is good for dining while viewing the river or reading, and just resting, etc.
There is plenty of shade trees and breezes to enjoy. The sunsets make a beautiful ending to your day at the River.
When returning from the beach we ask that you please just use the hose in the garage to rinse off some of the sand. And if you plan to wash your beach towels and sandy swimwear, please shake out as much sand as possible, as the sand can damage the washing machine and dryer.
The spacious house is very comfortable with AC and heat.
