Overview

You can't get much closer to the Gulf of America than Beach, Love & Happiness - a spacious, beachfront escape on the white-sand shores of Dauphin Island. At just 10 steps from the cool gulf waters, this four-bedroom home will give you a vacation you won't soon forget. Well-equipped for a beach-going family, this elevated home features wonderful spaces to gather both inside and out. Come up from a morning spent beach-combing, swimming, or stand-up paddleboarding to enjoy two levels of gulf-front decking that run the length of the house. The air-conditioned interior has plentiful windows that frame views of the gulf, and a layout that brings together the kitchen, the dining room, and the living room in one social space. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher) and seating for 8 at the adjacent table. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer to take care of your swimsuits and towels each day, free WiFi throughout the house, cable TV, and a picnic table outside on the deck - the perfect spot for morning crosswords, post-beach lunches, and evening cocktails at sunset.

This was our second stay at this property. We love the location and being right in the sand!! This property is well loved, to say the least. In the two years since our last stay, improvements and updates were made to the structure of the home. The home is exactly as pictured. No issues with pests mentioned in other reviews. While we wish it were better maintained, we will likely return again and again!

This property was everything I hoped for and then some! My family and our dogs loved it! Right next to the water and there was plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and us to sit and relax. We spent a lot of time on the huge deck where there were beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I would recommend this house to anyone who has a big family and pets. Thank you again! Becky
