Great family vacation

Our family of 10, 4 generations stayed in this wonderful home and there was plenty of room to be together and have some space. The property is located in the middle of Dauphin Island and accessible to everything. The area felt safe and was very quiet. Jessica was an awesome host, concerned with making sure everything was just right. She communicated effectively and responded quickly when we had a question. Definitely a great place to stay!

Beautiful, secluded cottage for a perfect getaway

We just returned from our stay at the Agape Cottage and absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is very cozy, well-appointed and has a wonderful screened-in back porch. The location is quiet and secluded, which is perfect for us. Jessica is an awesome hostess responding to any questions/concerns very quickly, as well as providing great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. So happy we booked the cottage and we will definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this lovely house.

Wonderful cozy cottage for family getaway

The cottage was clean and in a quiet neighborhood. It came with a well-equipped kitchen, and had a washer and dryer too. We were there with our children and grandchildren and we were very comfortable. The upstairs master bedroom and bathroom are roomy and luxurious with a comfortable king-sized bed. It rained a couple of days and we were very comfortable and dry inside with plenty of space and things to do. We can highly recommend this place.

Exactly what we needed

I can't love this enough. We didn't need walking access to the beach or a boat launch. We needed quiet time to relax and refresh ourselves, which is exactly what we got at The Agape Cottage. Jessica has thought of everything you could need. It's peaceful and welcoming. We will absolutely be back!

Agape cottage

The home is beautiful and in a perfect location! It was very quiet but still close to the beaches and shopping. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Drinking a cup of coffee on the screened in porch every morning was a great way to start the day. We would definitely come back!

Peace and relaxation

Dauphin Island was a great place for 2 seniors who needed a break. Agape Cottage was the perfect place. Very inviting and comfortable, close to just about everything. The beds were super comfortable and the real gem of this was our host Jessica. She made sure we had everything we needed and we got to meet her. She is awesome. We will go back!

Fall break at the beach

This house was at the end of a quiet street, perfect for biking in the neighborhood or to the Lighthouse bakery. We had fun cooking and relaxing in the large back porch, and also exploring different beaches on this small sweet island. Our group of 10 spanned ages 1-76 and the house was perfect, comfy and very pleasant.

Host profile image
Dauphin Island has always been my happy place, and after being a full-time resident for the last five years, it has also become my safe haven. My love for this beautiful island and the people that call it home keep me here. I have made deep friendships with neighbors that have become like family. This island is truly a hidden treasure and I am thankful that God has given me the opportunity to share this little slice of paradise with others.
