Perched right on the Gulf, this beautifully furnished, impeccably clean beach house offers breathtaking water views, a large covered back deck for sunrises, sunsets and wildlife, and a smart layout with private bedrooms and en-suite baths that suits families or couples equally. Guests praise crisp linens, ample space and thoughtful amenities (bring your own beach towels, pods and trash bags). A few minor, typical rental issues were reported but didn’t diminish excellent stays.

Would love to come back when its a little cooler

Loved hearing the waves crash on the beach. The kids enjoyed fishing and the beach very much

Avari response:

It sounds like you had a wonderful time, Christopher! Hearing the waves crash is such a soothing part of the beach experience, and we're thrilled that your kids enjoyed fishing and playing on the sand. We completely understand wanting to return when the weather is a bit cooler; Dauphin Island has so much to offer in every season. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay soon!

I spent 5 days at this beautiful beach home with my daughter and two daughters-in-law. It was simply perfect and we all agreed it was our favorite vacation ever.

The house was better than the pictures, and the location on the beach made for easy access to the wind and waves… No need for a sound machine, as the surf lulled us to sleep each night.

The kitchen had all we needed to cook our meals, including a blender for fun beach drinks and a gas grill for making fajitas.

Almost hesitate to rave more because Dauphin Island is such a wonderful low-key, non-touristy location and we would love for it to stay this way!

One important tip: if you want to eat at one of the few restaurants on the island, make sure to make reservations!

This was an amazing place! If you are looking for a place 10 steps from the ocean this is it. We are not really beach people but came to celebrate our daughter’s 30th birthday. It was perfect for us because the porch makes you feel like you are right down there on the beach. We did a lot of wildlife watching through the binoculars and even saw dolphins swimming! The house is in great condition. We loved the fact that every bedroom area had its own bathroom. The stairs are quite a climb but didn’t bother us at all but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. You can obviously see that from the picture though. As we walked the shore we could tell that this porch and house were in really good shape compared to other houses. We enjoyed the Audubon bird sanctuary while we were there and got to see even more wildlife. The kitchen does NOT have essential things like salt, pepper, oil and Saran Wrap-just FYI-but does have cookware. We’d stay here again in a second! Bring beach chairs.
