About the host
Hosted by Julie
Our family built our Dauphin Island getaway in 2002, as a place to escape, relax, and build family memories with our own family of 3 boys. As our boys have grown (and now one two are married and we have a grandson!), we have spent many family holidays, weekends, and getaways here. Now that Steve and Julie are "empty nesters" with our youngest in college, we are spending most of our off season time here and are enjoying updating our family's home for ourselves and to share with our guests during the summer .
Why they chose this property
We love the East End of Dauphin Island for its quiet, residential feel. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac, we love the beautiful dune views and quiet street. Our neighborhood has a private community pool, private neighborhood beach access, and a tennis court. You can easily take long walks on the beach, down to the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and back to the neighborhood via the bike/walking trail.
What makes this property unique
Because this is our personal family home, it is equipped how we like it to be! You'll find lots of coffee cups (Julie prefers tea, however), dishes, and cooking utensils. The kids will enjoy the games, wagon, and big bucket of sand toys. Our home was designed to provide a comfortable main living area for gathering with the whole family, yet also provide several different 'getaway' spots such as the back deck, hammock, or 3rd floor porches, when you just need a little quiet time!
