Unleash Your Inner Beach Bum: Sun, Sand, and Sea at our Coastal Cottage!

Enjoy a quiet beach getaway at Beachside Blessing on Dauphin Island. Visit our 3 bedroom, 3-bath classic beach house on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island's west end. Relax and enjoy your view of the Gulf from the home’s deck, enjoy a cold drink on the covered outdoor eating area or take a short walk to the end of Portier Court to soak up the sun on the beach.

We are wheelchair accessible. No stairs needed to get to the front door! You can use our lift to get up to the first floor.

Beachside Blessing includes two bedrooms with king-sized beds and one bedroom with two queen-sized beds. It's the perfect setup for two families with children! The 3 bathrooms include a garden tub and two walk-in showers.

The living room and all 3 bedrooms have flatscreen TV’s. There is cable television and streaming in the living room. Two of the bedrooms have smart tv’s for streaming and one bedroom has cable. The home also has free high speed internet.

Located adjacent to the walking/biking trail and centrally located, Beachside Blessing provides you with easy access to all that Dauphin Island has to offer. Don’t miss visiting historic Fort Gains and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary where you move through maritime forest, marsh and dune habitat. The Island is also home to the Alabama Aquarium and Sea Lab that explores the animal, plant and marine life of coastal Alabama. Plan ahead and rent a boat or kayak, charter a fishing trip or simply lay on the beach and watch the ghost crabs. What more can you possibly need.

Nice house
Very nice house and neighborhood. Host was nice. Our only complaint was we thought that the house was on the beach where you could sit on the porch and see the ocean. You couldn’t see the beach from the house but it was just a couple minutes walk.

This was a lovely home with just a short walk to the water. Far enough from the water out 7and 8 year olds wouldn't go by themselves but close enough for the adults. We had an awesome vacation. Thank you so much.

We had an amazing time! This house was a short walk right onto the beach. The house was a beautiful perfect place to stay. The rooms had their own bathrooms and it made the stay so much easier with how many people we had. The shower outside to rinse the sand off was the perfect touch! We will most definitely stay here again.

Location was a biggg stretch
The description of property said you could see the gulf from the deck… well, there was a very small area that was visible, but there were also six houses between the water and our house. Not exactly what I would consider ocean front property. Location is the number one reason why we chose the property we did, and this was very misleading. Second complaint was a cleaning fee assessed, but then we were expected to remove bedding, take trash out, start the dishwasher and start a load of towels prior to check out…. all with a 6 hour time frame from check out to check in time For next guest, which I would think would be plenty of time to do the said tasks. I don’t go on vacation, and expect to do these tasks, especially when I’m charged a cleaning fee. Thirdly, the front bathroom stool was constantly “running”. We noticed this day one, so I would have expected the people cleaning to have experienced this as well. There was also a very pungent smell from the front bathroom. We just closed the door and shared the other shower in the house. Not sure what was causing the smell, but it was not pleasant.

Convenient, comfrotable, pet friendly, and well stocked rental
The property was well maintained and well stocked in the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, usually an issue for me in most rentals. Quick walk to the beach, maybe 4 houses down. Just a few minutes drive to good eats and fun activities. Will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay - wonderful property
This house was everything we wanted for this vacation. Plenty of room, close to the beach, quiet neighbors and pet-friendly. The house was amazingly clean, bright and roomy. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked and there were plenty of towels and linens. We had a couple questions before we booked, and then a couple right before our stay, and they were quick to respond. No trouble checking in or out. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Dauphin Island.
