About this property

Bay Watch , August special

  • August special $185 nightly We are on the birdiest street!! Kids Love Our Place!!
    No Pets Allowed
    KIDS LOVE OUR HOME FROM CRABBING AND FISHING IN THE BACKYARD TO THE Pool Table and now corn hole!! READ ALL OUR GREAT COMMENTS !!! MAXIMUM OF 6 people
    Sit back relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and breathtaking views of Little Dauphin Island from the covered back porch.
    You can bring your Kayaks and launch from back. Also plenty of room for the boat. There is a public boat launch close by at Estuarium. You can watch the boats sail past,the dolphins swim, the fish jump and the pelicans fly by or walk to the water with your fishing rod and catch the big one!!!

    FOR THE BIRDERS IT'S LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!!
    March through May is the spring neo-tropical migration where birds from Central and South America stop over for a rest on their long journey. As many as 324 species have been seen on the island.
    Its the perfect place for bird watching. Dauphin Island won Americas birdiest city award in the small coastal city category 2006!!! Guess what Dauphin Island won 2007 also !!!Our home is on the same street as the Shell Mound Park and Goat Tree Reserve. so walk from your home to bird watch .

    This beautifully-decorated three bedroom, two bath home sleeps a maximum of six. It includes one king, one queen, and two twins.The open floor plan allows you to prepare your meals in the well equipped kitchen while watching the kids play pool.

    We have a video library for those rainy days also books for the avid reader. my mom loves to sit on the deck and read.The golf course is close by with beautiful ocean views. One of our favorite things to do is go to Skinners and pick up some fresh shrimp for dinner. You cant beat the freshness !!!

    Bring your bikes its a short ride to the beautiful white sandy beaches.If you have never experienced the beauty of the gulf coast . now is the time. You can load up the car for a 2 minute drive to the pier and beach. We are one block from Bienville Blvd.Not far from the Ship and Shore(the local grocery/hardware store), Grab the flashlight stay until dusk and go crabbing.

    Kids love the excitement of crab catching!!Our son spent hours catching crabs in the back yard !! He actually caught 20 blue crabs which we boiled and ate!! Come enjoy the quiet island living and great family fun.We are on a quiet street with lots of singing birds...

    You can now rent kayaks delivered to the house and launch right from the backyard.
    ANY EVIDENCE of SMOKING OR PETS THE DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEITED.Weekly unless noted by daily rate. 50% due at time of reservation the remainder due 30 days prior to arrival.

Great House and Host!

Maureen is a wonderful host! She was very responsive and she has helpful information about the house and island on the fridge! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed; even a salad spinner!! Having the bay right outside the doorway was very nice and the deck is the perfect spot to watch the sun rise! Definitely recommend!!!

We will be back.

We had a blast. My boys loved the house the most. We needed to come a few weeks later to get in the ocean, but it was perfect to visit all the museums, and garden, aquarium, and so much more. The weather was great to be walking around. The fire place table is the best thing to relax to at night watching the sunset. 10 out of 10.

Great relaxing house

We have stayed here several times before and absolutely love the house. We come to Dauphin Island to go birding during spring and/or fall migration. This house is the perfect location as it is in walking distance to two of the best hot spots on the island. And a short drive to several others. The kitchen is well stocked and roomy. The beds comfortable. Since our last visit the stairs leading to the house entrance have been rebuilt and are much easier to use. We will be back.

Attractive, comfortable home in a lovely setting

We were very comfortable in this home. There were very nice touches. Our granddaughters were thrilled with the stuffed animals placed on their beds. The home was so attractively decorated. The water access was nice with benches to watch the sunset. The deck area was very comfortable! The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe there. We were disappointed that the hammock and kayak that were in the picture were not there.

Great place to stay, especially if you are a birder. Located within walking distance of Indian Shell Mound Park and Goat Tree Reserve. Short drive to many other bird sites. The house has a back porch overlooking Dauphin Island Bay - great views in a quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing just to spend an afternoon there looking out on the water. Highly recommended this place.

Had a great time

Really nice place to stay for several days. Had a minor issue but Maureen got it taken care of promptly. King bed was comfortable. No complaints about the others from the kids. Really liked the Forts, ferry, and the USS Alabama. Beaches were nice on both ends of the island. Great view off the porch. Was really nice to sit out there.

This was the first time to visit Daulphin Island. I have fallen in love with house and the island. Maureen (the owner) was great. If I had a question she was available and helpful with our stay. Her house is warm and cozy and the view of the bay is to die for. My English bulldog loved it here too. Thanks Maureen we will see you next year!!!

Beautiful home and view. Very well stocked with supplies needed. Although the beds were rough. The best bed in the house is the king. The queen and the twins are very uncomfortable! We left early due to medical issues due to couch sleeping! The island is everything we expected and more!! Thank again for sharing your beautiful home!!

Guestbook Comment

I agree with the last comment. I really wish we could have stayed longer. The house is beautiful. After a busy day it was great to come back and relax on the porch. We did a lot of birding and took some great pictures. When you rent a house, you always worry, but there is no need to worry with Baywatch. It is everything the website says it is.

Great Little Spot

The property was very easy to locate in a quiet area of the island. This was our first time to ever visit the island and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The property was very clean and well kept and felt surprisingly spacious as it utilized the square footage very efficiently. We rate the property very high and will likely stay there again in the future if we can. A few things: bring bug spray, especially if you plan on spending time outside of the house around the property, so many mosquitos. Bring extra laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags. There were only 2 packs of powdered laundry detergent, 2 rolls of TP, 1 roll of paper towels and 2 trash bags provided, not quite enough for a 6 person stay. Again, overall we were very happy with our stay and the property.

Maureen and Kurt, Jus...

Maureen and Kurt, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your beautiful Dauphin Island House! We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary! The house is so warm and welcoming, decorated beautifully and clean as a whistle! The view from the deck is perfect, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful! The weather was terrific, except for Saturday, but with the pool /air hockey table, great collection of movies, and comfortable house, we had a wonderful time anyway in spite of the rain! On the Sunny days, we toured the Island, mostly on foot or bike, and enjoyed all of the wonderful birding areas, and the unspoiled beaches! It is the perfect getaway for anyone wanting to avoid the crowded, commercialized beach scene!We have a new-found appreciation for bird watching now!! Dauphin Island is wonderful! So many friendly folks, great seafood and a wonderful little bakery that serves up great breakfast items and diet bashing treats!! The cream cheese danish are wonderful!!! All in all our trip was one of the best ever and your place was perfect! I recommend it to anyone, couples, families or someone looking for a wonderful , restful retreat! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! We had a great time! We hope to return to Dauphin Island soon! Larry and Ellen
