About this property

Gulf View Retreat | Walk to Beach, Large Island & Covered Deck

Welcome to Hero’s Hide Away, a relaxed Gulf side retreat where coastal views, easy beach access, and a comfortable layout come together for a laid-back Dauphin Island stay. With a covered deck offering Gulf views and a short walk to the beach, this home is perfect for guests who want to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of island life.

Property Highlights:
• Gulf side home with Gulf views from the deck
• Short walk to beach access at the end of the street
• Covered deck with seating and a built-in picnic table
• Open concept living, dining, and kitchen area
• Large kitchen island with bar seating for dining
• Two king bedrooms, including a Gulf view suite
• Pet friendly, dogs only (2 pet max)
• Puzzles and books provided for indoor enjoyment

Step inside to a bright and open living space with a clean, modern coastal feel. The kitchen and living area are connected by a large countertop island that serves as both a gathering space and a casual dining area, making it easy for everyone to stay connected.

The kitchen features a fresh two-tone design with white upper cabinets and deep blue lower cabinetry, paired with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The oversized island with bar seating creates a natural hub for meals, morning coffee, or conversation while cooking.

The living area sits just beyond the island, offering comfortable seating and a relaxed space to unwind after a day at the beach. Large windows and glass doors bring in natural light and keep the space feeling open and inviting.

Light wood-style flooring runs throughout the home, adding to the bright and cohesive look. A dedicated laundry area adds convenience, while puzzles and books provide simple ways to relax indoors.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 6):
• SW King Suite – King bed, Gulf views, TV, private bathroom
• NW King Bedroom – King bed
• NE Queen Bedroom – Queen bed
• Additional Bathroom – Full bathroom located off the common area near the north bedrooms

The covered deck offers a comfortable place to relax while enjoying Gulf views, with seating and a built-in picnic table that is perfect for outdoor meals.

For beach days, guests can walk down the steps and head to the end of the street for access to the Gulf. While there is a Gulf front home between Hero’s Hide Away and the shoreline, the beach access remains a short and easy walk, making it simple to go back and forth throughout the day.
