Host profile image
Our family has been vacationing on beautiful Dauphin Island, Alabama for years. It is our peaceful sanctuary & we would start to dread to leave the island days before we had to go back to Tennessee. God has blessed us immensely by allowing us to finally have a permanent home on the island. Words cannot describe how thankful we are to our Lord for giving us this peace of heaven on such a picturesque island. The house was named “Czech Mate” due to our Czechoslovakian ancestry. From seeing dolphins to swimming in the waves of the gulf or bay or watching the beautiful sunsets in the evening (Dauphin Island is the Sunset Capital of Alabama), we cannot get enough of this amazing place. We know you will enjoy our home & incredible Dauphin Island as much as we do!!

Why they chose this property

Dauphin Island, Alabama is such a unique, quaint, beach town. We love the quietness of the island & the beauty & charm. We like that Dauphin Island is not overrun by tourist sites, but has many fun activities for all ages. We chose this location for it's closeness to the Gulf & the Bay/Mississippi Sound. We have the best of both worlds, with the Gulf & the Sound just steps from our home. We also have a private beach behind the house, & we love the West End of the island.

What makes this property unique

We wanted to see & hear the Gulf/Ocean waves from our home & the Mississippi Sound, so this was the absolute perfect place for us! It never gets old opening the curtains in the morning & seeing the fins of dolphins break the surface. The sunsets are beautiful from our location & the peace & tranquility of our area is a sanctuary to us.
