This was our third spring break at this house. It meets our family’s needs very well. It was very clean and fresh when we arrived and that’s always a plus. The washer and dryer had been upgraded. We love that the house is right on the beach! See you next year!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this gulf front property. Pros: The location can't be beat! We ened up not even needing to set up our shade structures. The home is close enough to the gulf that the deck provided ample shade for the beach. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for providing space for our family to spread out, and have their own space, while still being connected. The home was very family friendly, and great for our 2 year old grandson. Kristen was very responsive to any hiccups we encountered during our stay. She even checked in on us regarding issues the prior guests had to make sure we were comfortable. Inconviences: As prior reviews have noted, upon arrival we did need to clean the floors, counters, etc. that were covered in sand. Also, needing to make sure all the towels were washed and dried and put away before leaving did delay our departure a bit since we wanted to eat breakfast and shower before hitting the road. We also encountered a bug problem, but Kristen was very receptive to the issue, and sent out two different people to address the issue. Overall, we were VERY happy with our stay and our interactions with the owners.

We absolutely loved staying here! The proximity to the beach was amazing, we slept to the sound of rolling waves. We saw dolphins, stingrays, incredible sunsets, and caught all sorts of fish: red drum, black drum, whiting, and even a pampano! Our kids adored it as well, playing in the sand and waves just below the house. It was a vacation to remember!

This beach house was just what our family needed for the Labor Day weekend. Great location! It was wonderful to step out the door and the beach and ocean were your literal backyard! The house provided everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. If our family finds their way back to Dauphine Island, we would book this lovely house again.

Gorgeous house. Location is incredible. You are literally feet from the beach. It is kind of like being in a cul de sac. Other properties are close by and there is not a lot of beach area in front of the house but we never had a problem. There is tons of space outside the immediate area for others to utilize. Host was incredibly responsive. Felt like we were staying at a friend's house. There was a hurricane in the gulf and created some weather challenges. Kristen reached out to make sure we were OK. Also had an AC issue and she was on top of it. One of my favorite hosts of all time. First day we saw an amazing dolphin show from the balconies, at least 50 dolphins jumping and playing right in front of us. Beach and ocean view is unimpeded. There was a total of 9 of us and we had more than enough space. Beds were ultra comfortable, the sound of the waves at night was so relaxing. A big hit with one of our teenage granddaughters was the cubby hall on the upstairs level. Kitchen is well equipped, we had everything we needed to have to prepare meals. Lots of outdoor lounges and even provided chairs for the beach. There was a weber charcoal grill for grilling. To have a house that close to the ocean and be able to maintain it as well as they do is truly amazing to me. Definitely would stay here again and based on the Host (Kristen), Location and Amenities, I would highly recommend Island Cure. Thank you for being a terrific host and sharing your home with us

Great place.

Our group of six adults and two toddlers had a great week at this beach house. It is amazingly close to the beach.There are two really nice covered decks that we enjoyed almost as much as the beach. It has a large, adequately furnished kitchen. It was very clean. The bedrooms were comfortable. The host communication is excellent. She provided her cell number.We would stay here again for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen West

Host profile image
We are a fun loving family of 5. My husband (C.O.) and I (Kristen) are the proud parents of three girls. We live in Missouri and are excited to get to spend time in Dauphin Island at our home away from home and to share this home with others. We enjoy all of the activities that the Island has to offer and feel blessed knowing our girls will grow up in such a great environment on the Island making priceless memories.
Dream Big LLC built this home in 2019.

Why they chose this property

This property is very special to us. My husband visited Dauphin Island when he was 16 and his family took a detour on their memorable trip to the Olympics in 1996. He knew then that he wanted to return to Dauphin Island and dreamed of owning a home there someday to share with his family. We purchased a vacation/rental home on Dauphin Island in 2017 and fell in love with the Island. When the lot in front of our new beach home went for sale we decided to invest again and build a bigger home for our growing family. We think that you will find the house is uniquely situated on the Gulf with views of all the Island has to offer from the sunrise in the east, the Gulf to the south, the Sound to the North and the sunsets to the West. This house was designed to offer 3 incredible King suites that all have incredible views and a bunk room for kids, a perfect match for multiple family/friend groups with children.

What makes this property unique

"Island Cure" is located midway down the West End of the island and sits directly on the beach/gulf. It is a very short drive or bike ride to the far West End of the Island, which has lifeguards and various other attractions/vendors during the summer months. Additionally, it is only a short drive from the local grocery store, shops, restaurants, golf course, Estuarium and Fort Gaines on the East End of the Island. The house offers a wide variety of outdoor space to hang out and relax including a covered deck to the south as well as a full sun deck extension, additionally a covered deck off the 2nd floor king suites. There are dual staircases allowing access to the beach and your parking area. It has been decorated with comfort and simplicity in mind to allow you to rest, relax and recharge and provide you with the perfect "Island Cure".
