Check our our other listing 216921ha (sleeps 12 in gated community with neighborhood pool - weekly only) Please note that we are strictly animal free and smoke free. This island home is your perfect vacation getaway!. Our home is located a short walk or even shorter drive from the beach and fishing pier and the golf course is 1/2 mile away! It is just off the bike trail and Salt Creek playground. The home also backs up to Salt Creek, a quiet creek which is great for birding, fishing, or kayaking from the backyard! Furnished in the latest island style, this home features a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, and 3 bathrooms, one with dual shower heads and another with a deep soaking tub. Three bedrooms have direct bath access. The 4th bedroom upstairs has a tv and games., full size bed and two twin beds with Tuft and Needle mattresses. This room is most comfortable for up to 4 children or 3 adults due to bed sizes (2 twin and 1 full). The outside life is great on Dauphin Island, and you will enjoy the luxury of your own 12 x 20 heated (off season) fun pool. The entire large back porch is screened in so you can enjoy the outdoor life even more! Note that we do not charge extra for pool heating, and are not responsible if weather conditions or occasional mechanical issues prevent the pool from being warm (the pool is a heat pump and will not function in weather under about 50 degrees). Also, we do keep bikes at the home but they are provided AS A COURTESY and are not guaranteed. We rely on our guests to ride them carefully to help keep them in good shape. Bike rental places are available on the island if you need a guaranteed bike size, style, or condition. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: No smoking on premises including decks/porches ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Heated pool - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Gated community - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84350000/84343100/84343024/0b37bc80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Idyllic, dog-friendly Bay Front Island home with pool, Gulf view & large decks Dauphin Island - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=84343024&PinnedHotelID=84343024&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95230000/95226800/95226790/f4db5ce4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Soul Surfing III June 2023: Breathtaking Sunset Island Views & Private Beach Dauphin Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 27 reviews CA $313 CA $933 total includes taxes & fees Oct 29 - Oct 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=95226790&PinnedHotelID=95226790&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46300000/46295800/46295730/4322e765.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "AIN'T LIFE GRAND"-KAYAKS, GOLF CART, PRIVATE BEACH, CRAB TRAPS!
