While you’re there

Check out some of our favorite parts of Dauphin Island. Sourced from our local teams who live there.

Lighthouse Bakery

Melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls, homemade fruit turnovers, massive Sunday omelets, and freshly roasted lattes. The kind of from-scratch, made-with-love morning spot that turns breakfast into the highlight of your day.

BGH Cafe

Your go-to takeout spot near the Ferry Boat Landing—Paninis, Po-Boys, and Wraps alongside old-school soft serve, malts, and specialty espresso drinks.

Dockside Seafood

From boat to plate, this Dauphin Island gem delivers the freshest, most responsibly sourced Gulf Coast seafood around—where family ownership, local fishermen, and a passion for quality come together.

Pirate’s Bar & Grill

Voted the best food on Dauphin Island—scratch-made everything, fresh Gulf seafood, legendary Wing Wednesdays, and the original Dauphin Island Bushwacker, all in one unforgettable island dining experience.

Dority’s Bar & Grill

Great food, cold drinks, live music, and genuine Southern hospitality in the most inviting outdoor setting on the island. Less like dining out, more like a party at your favorite neighbor's house.

Miguel’s Beach’n Baja

West Coast vibes meet Gulf Coast soul—everything made fresh, the tacos are legendary, and the homemade salsa alone is worth the trip.

Reel Deal BBQ & Seafood

Finger-licking barbecue, crispy fried seafood, and cold milkshakes on a shady covered deck. The kind of casual Dauphin Island gem that makes every meal feel like a perfect summer day.

The Carriage: Wine & Market

Curated fine wines, craft beers, artisanal cheeses, and chef-inspired seasonal dishes in a warm, welcoming space where every visit feels like a celebration.

Dauphin Island Pier

A one-of-a-kind coastal landmark with a fascinating history dating back to the 1600s—now a free, scenic destination with stunning Gulf views, easy beach access, and the perfect setting for a picnic and a stroll.

Perched between the bay and the Gulf, this spacious, spotlessly maintained home offers private sound-side beach access, easy public-gulf access across the street, and sweeping, unobstructed water views. Families (and dogs) praise the generous layout, bunk/kids’ room, TVs in every room, well‑stocked kitchen, washer and grill, plus beach gear. Cleanliness and a quiet neighborhood are repeatedly noted, and Vacasa’s prompt, helpful responsiveness makes planning and stays effortless.

Our family traveled with seven adults and seven children. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kids had their own space in the bunk room. The sound side view was beautiful. There was a path to the beach. The gulf side beach was just a quick walk across the road. Beautiful home. We would stay again.

Avari response:

Thank you, Chelsea, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that your family had plenty of room to spread out and that the kids enjoyed their own space in the bunk room. It’s wonderful to know you appreciated the beautiful sound side view and the convenience of the beach access. We take pride in providing homes that feel comfortable and welcoming, and it sounds like we hit the mark for your stay. We would love to welcome you and your family back anytime for another memorable getaway.

First, I could not process the ID Verification after many conversations and instructions. Second, the property is hard to locate from the road especially at night. A number on the street would be extremely helpful. Then when we got there the entry pad was not working and after we got the key the dead bolt had to be locked at all times because the door knob was broken. Same appears to be true for the back door as well. There was very little beach at the property so had to go to public beach. Everything else was good and air conditioning worked great so overall we had a good time just a few things to work on.
