Vacation rentals in Dauphin Island

This place was perfect! Great proximity to the beach, especially considering it is a pet-friendly home. And, close to town if we needed anything. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The beach was not the least bit crowded, and we had beautiful weather. We loved the layout of the house and how spacious it is. Plenty of everything for comfort and for a home away from home! The instructions were clear and posted in multiple places. The owner was very communicative and friendly. Definitely a place we would stay again and again! Thank you for a perfect vacation!

Such a great place to stay for the weekend! We brought our boat to tie to the dock and were easily able to take it out each day. Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with plenty of supplies, easy check in, and beautiful location. We will be back!

We had a lovely time at Tiffany’s place! The house is very close to the beach. You do have to cross the main road but the access felt safe for us and our kids. There were many beach toys and amenities which was very nice. The house and neighborhood were comfortable and quiet. It was fun to sit under the house on the swings and relax in the shade! It was easy to walk and bike around the island. We would be very happy to stay there again!

Wonderful place with an excellent host

Perfect place to relax. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Very quiet. Watched the sunrise every morning and they did not disappoint. Fishing was great! Caught loads of catfish, some stingray, keepers were 4 black drum, 1 redfish and 1 spotted trout. Crab traps were fun, caught a total of 12 keepers. We stayed outdoors for most of our week. We will definitely be back.

Carla and Jason's Barefoot Bungalow was everything we had hoped for and more! To look out the windows and see the ocean was breathtaking. Having a place right on the ocean was so worth it! (Though cost was totally reasonable!) We had a small gathering of immediate family for my Mom's birthday and it could not have been a better venue! Being so close to the beach allowed for so much more ease, entertainment, and joy! Walks and time on the beach in both the morning and the evening was so conducive to connection. Perfect for a family reunion of sorts! Sitting on the large wraparound deck to greet the day over coffee, sea birds flying over head, and the ocean breeze was wonderful! And the interior layout allowed for all of us to have space and room to breathe. Our time at Barefoot Bungalow will be remembered forever and we hope to make it back there in the not too distant future!

The Osprey was so peaceful and relaxing. The views are amazing, especially as the sun goes down! If your looking for a getaway from your busy life, I couldn't recommend The Osprey more!!

This was our third year staying at Jason and Crystal's beautiful beach house. We love staying here because it feels like home away from home for our family. It's an easy walk to the beach, and with the new boardwalk they are building, it will be even easier. Jason and Crystal are responsive and accommodating hosts.

We are really going to miss this quiet quaint little hideaway, Moonrise Cottage! It was a perfect place to bring the kids. We all had such a great time. It’s a place that allowed us to forget about our daily lives and responsibilities for a week and live in the moment together. We dont want to leave , lol. We will definitely be back!! ❤️ Our host Amanda was the sweetest. I got the opportunity to meet her in person and she is so down to earth and so kind. She shared with me some history of the cottage and area and it was soo interesting to learn about it. She was a great host!!

The house was wonderful and cozy. It was filled with personal touches that made the house feel like a home. CiCi was also helpful and responded quickly with whatever we needed. Overall, our family had a very good time staying here.

Great location to the beach, quiet neighborhood, great outdoor space, beautiful views of the lagoon, comfortable beds!

We had an amazing time at this home. So peaceful and relaxing. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect. We felt cozy and right at home. It is a short distance to parks and town, and not far from Gulf Shores, where there’s so much to do. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. It was a perfect stay.

Had a wonderful time. Location was perfect, close enough to everything but away from the main traffic allowing for a relaxing stay. The house was spotless, beautifully furnished, and the kitchen has everything you would want. No need to bring beach gear as there are beach towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon, toys & a small cooler. Would highly recommend this place to others.

As advertised. So convenient to the tennis center. Always love staying here

John was a wonderful host!!! I would definitely stay again. The house is very nice and has everything you need. The neighborhood is upscale and quiet!! All the neighbors were very friendly and spoke passing by on their boats as well as when we passed by on ours!! They even recommended places to fish and that was very helpful.

We had a great stay! Loved the house it was clean and plenty of room for our 5 adults and 4 small children. Jennifer was fantastic and very responsive. Would definitely recommend this place. If possible, I’d say rent a golf cart as that was extremely helpful in getting to and from the beach!

Our stay was wonderful! There was more than enough room for 4 adults and 3 children. The outside space made this listing worth it all. We loved playing in the sand, fishing off the deck, and having easy beach access. We had some unfortunate issues that were out of Karin’s control and she went above and beyond to help reconcile the issues. Highly recommend!

We discovered a hidden gem! What a delightful stay for everyone. There is a ramp on one side of the house that made bringing our luggage in a breeze. The view of the dunes and beach was nice each morning as we sat outside and sipped our coffee. There was even some wildlife to watch. Once at the beach, it couldn't get any better. Very few people, a gentle slope into the ocean and plenty of soft white gulf coast sand to put our chairs in! As mentioned by others, Heather is a very responsive host. Making sure each guest has what they may need. The layout of the house made it for easy for all boasting very comfortable bedrooms that were away from the commotion of the common spaces. There are sand chairs available as well as a wagon if you would like help bringing your toys to the beach. There is a slight walk to the beach but not on we ever had to dread making. Already looking at another week in 2026 to return!

If you’re looking for a DREAM beach stay, book now! This place is 10 out of 10 with spacious rooms & living room. Lots of blankets to cuddle up with & extra towels for showers. All the beds were nice & comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of silverware, bowls, & any dish you need to cook - we really appreciated this! Wonderful view of the beach with several spots on the upper or lower balconies to rest/relax. Also used the outdoor shower to rinse sand off too. You’re right on the beach so lots of nice views, we actually saw dolphins most days we were there. The hosts are a sweet & genuine couple who are invested in guests having the best vacation ever experience! We will for sure be looking at renting this place again in the future.

We loved our stay at Sean‘s place! The pictures do not do it justice! We loved having four bedrooms with a king size bed in each! There is a full bathroom on the main floor and bath upstairs with a clawfoot tub, sink and toilet and a half bath in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen has all the pots, pans utensils and dishes you will need! We loved having the dock so close to the house and the relaxing porch with the hot tub! The neighborhood is peaceful and walkable. The West End Beach is just a few minutes drive by car. It is the most accessible beach on the island with bathrooms. We highly recommend getting shrimp steamed with potatoes, corn, and sausage from Skinners! This house was so conveniently located. We definitely recommend it.

Wonderful house right on the sand! Sit in the living room while looking at the ocean! Has everything you need including beach accessories. Great for families or friends.

We had such a good stay at Sands of Time! We went a little over budget to rent a house on the beach knowing it would likely be easier with children. We were not disappointed and would do it all over again. It was easy for us to set up our tent and chairs while the kids were still snoozing, we enjoyed coffee on the deck while watching dolphins move across the gulf, we were able to rinse off and eat a sandwich in the a/c instead of having SANDwiches. It was so convenient. The kids had a BLAST. We were able to all relax in the spacious living room one day while rain kept us off the beach, too. Check in and out was very easy, there wasn’t ridiculous requests for checkout or tasks during our stay. We truly enjoyed this house and will be back for years to come! The location was super ideal with a short drive (15 min) to several great restaurants, but also out of the hustle and bustle. I could go on and on about all the things I loved about this place!

No complaints at all. The home was great, everything we could possibly need was there, and check in and check out were both easy.

Anna was a great host. She was flexible and responsive with a few internet issues. She was quick to find solutions and always kind! We had everything we needed in our place and only a little walk to the pool / beach.
