About the host
Hosted by Deborah Smith
We are nature and animal lovers and we appreciate Dauphin Island for its largely unspoiled natural setting. We love dogs and welcome up to 4 doggies as guests.
We purchased this home because it is 100 steps from the Bay Beach, has a large private dock and boardwalk, and it also has quick access to the Gulf Beachside. The house has big windows upstairs and down with spectacular views of water from all sides! We provide great ammenities. We are delighted to offer suggestions for island activities, nature walks, quiet scenic spots, awesome restaurants, fishing trips, kayaks to rent, and more! Guests come back again and again, year after year!

Guests come back again and again, year after year!
Why they chose this property
Our part of the island, the West End, is more secluded and quiet than other neighborhoods, and you can see both sunrise and sunset and water views from either of our houses. We own the house next door as well. Keep in mind that Dauphin Island is not developed with hotels and high rises. It's a beautiful and serene barrier island. We chose this street because it's the perfect example of that serenity! Our road is a cull-de sac and is therefore even more private than other island roads. Plus our houses are on the end of the road, where the sugar sand Bay Beach widens, providing even more privacy.
Our friends and visitors love coming here to de-stress, unwind, watch the pelicans and the dolphins, soak in the salt air, hear the waves, and let the pups play . Its more private and quiet than most beach destinations. This is a very dog friendly beach and well behaved pups are welcome! The Bay Beach here is quieter and the waves much more gentle than the Gulf beach. Little children and smaller pups love playing, swimming and wading in these blue waters.

What makes this property unique
Four key reasons why our property is "Unique".
1) SUPER DOG FRIENDLY: we accept up to 4 well-behaved dogs as guests! Highly unusual on Dauphin Island.
2) OUR LARGE DOCK has two levels with an upper roof ideal for sun shade. We also have night lights on the dock, so you can fish day or night. Awesome!
3) ACCESS TO PRIVATE BAYSIDE BEACH AND GULF BEACH: You have your choice of our sugary sand private Bay Beach or take a quick walk across the main road (400 feet from our front door) to a private easement leading to the Gulfside Beach. The easement is a short sandy path available ONLY to you and neighbors. So, if you are in the mood for bigger waves and a different vibe - you' ve got it! Best of both worlds the Bay Beach AND Gulf Beach.
4) FAMILY COMPOUND AVAILABILITY: We own this house Fishbones, and the house next door called SeaDream. So, both houses can be rented at the same time for family and friend getaways, reunions, weddings on the beach and other celebrations! Just ask! Discounts available if both houses rented together.
