the DREAMCATCHER at Indian Bay - A peaceful waterfront escape

Are you seeking refuge from your daily routine? Hoping to recharge your batteries, let your mind quiet itself and simply relax? Then "the DREAMCATCHER" is exactly what you have been waiting for. Peaceful sunrises and watercolor sunsets await just off the rear porch. Grab a hot cup of coffee and snuggle into an oversized chair as you watch the pelicans dive for their breakfast. Midday, hop on a paddle board or in a kayak to explore the beautiful desolate adjacent islands. In the evening, try your hand at fishing and cook it up fresh on the grill. Complete your day swaying in a hammock and sipping a cocktail as the evening breeze surrounds you and lulls you to sleep. Take this moment in time to pamper yourself. Our goal is for you to leave this place refreshed, relaxed and ready to embrace your next adventure!

Just What We Were Looking For!

We travel quite a bit and anywhere coastal is my favorite destination. Couldn't believe that we had not been to Dauphin Island in 10 years! Still the sleepy little island I remembered. And Heather's place was the PERFECT location for my husband and I to go for a long weekend for some rest and relaxation. Long lazy days sitting on the deck watching the sunrise, drinking coffee and watching the boats go by, reading my book at the sweet little beach we found nearby, bike rides around the island to watch the sunset and then back to the deck at the end of the day! Heather was so easy to communicate with and the house is beautiful! Highly recommend!

Dreamcatcher

This property is clean, beautiful, and peaceful. The porch swings catch a steady breeze, and the views capture the beauty of nature. Comfortable furnishings allow relaxing both inside and outside, and the amenities and furnishings were great quality. Thank you for providing a lovely stay.

Great location. Clean, well equipped house. Great views across the bay. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the dolphins swim by every day and the seabirds gathered on the poles just offshore. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

Where do I begin. First off, easy booking. Beautiful, very clean home. It’s in a great and quiet location. We will be booking here from now on as long as we can. I would recommend this vacation home to anyone. The owner is extremely nice and helpful as well. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend our 22 anniversary here.

Rainy weekend

Enjoyed our stay! The weather was the only one that did not get the memo that we were on a weekend getaway. All in all it was still nice. Had no complaints on the house. Amazing view from the dock, to the deck, to the couch, and all the way to the kitchen. Did not get to enjoy the back deck like we wanted to but looking forward to another stay in the future with better weather hopefully. Would definitely recommend!

Relaxation at its finest

This home was not only as beautiful as it is in the photos; However, it is so relaxing!!!! Even though we were in 92 degree weather, we enjoyed fishing and crab catching (working for our dinner), as well as drove to the three nearby beaches!!!! The neighbors were quiet and friendly, allowing us to feel as if we were home!!!! Loved this vacation home and cannot wait to go back!!!!! Thank you Heather for your great Hospitality and communication throughout our trip! The best!

Perfect low key getaway

Everything was perfect! We had everything we needed plus some. Our boys absolutely loved the kayaks and the bikes. They took nightly rides around the island. Hosts have thought of every need and made it easy for us to just enjoy! Everything was so clean and beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were picturesque! Can’t wait to return!

Best Vacation!

We had the ultimate get-a-way experience without even leaving the house! There is so much attention to detail put into this home and its amenities; it felt like Heather & Earl thought of everything they would personally want in a vacation and made it a reality for their guests. Everything you would want or need was provided-beach chairs, umbrellas,(even beach hats!), fishing poles, kayaks, bikes, corn hole and ping pong. The view is amazing! Our family of four was comfortable and entertained the entire time. Heather is so friendly and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay

I rarely write reviews but thought it was important to let everyone know what a great location this is. Heather was on top of communicating with our family and even volunteered a late checkout for us on Sunday. Sometimes the pictures are not an accurate betrayal of the property. But, in this case, they were spot on. Lovely home with all the goodies you need for your get away. Even got in some solid fishing of the dock. If your headed to Dauphin Island this spot should be your go to!

Beautiful clean home on the water !

Home layout was perfect! One wing had a bedroom bathroom and the other wing was a mirror image with an open air concept common tv/living room kitchen in the middle of the home that spills out to the outdoor deck. Every room in the house has views of the water! Homeowner has everything needed in the storage room for beaching and fishing. Even has kayaks, paddle boards and bikes. Each room has 60” plus tvs and all the tvs applications worked and the one bedroom even has a PlayStation. This made our downtime in the evening very easy and entertaining Will rent again!

Great place to relax and enjoy the bay!

Heather is a wonderful host and very attentive to every need. The home is exactly what we had in mind along with another couple. It is very clean, and the bedding is superb for a great night's rest or nap in the day! Each couple had their own private bedroom and bath with living area in the center of the house. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed the swings outside along with the beautiful sunsets on the balcony. We fished on the pier and all of the fishing equipment is provided for your use. Really! Just bring some clothes and enjoy the Dreamcatcher as you would if you were at home! All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend staying in this wonderful location. Thank you, Heather, for a wonderful stay and hosting us in your home! Sincerely, Deb

Well equipped

This property was very easy to access. It had every thing you would need in the kitchen to cook with, which was a plus because the restaurant scene was certainly not what we would consider good choices. There were a few disappointments though. Doors drug on the floors, some windows were not clean/disgusting and one door leaked hot air from outside. Even when it was locked tight you could see outside on one whole side of it. The refrigerator would not keep food cool. Even after turning the settings all the way down, we still had food spoil. It should be replaced. The stairs on the back of the house were sketchy. While carrying our heavy coolers up and down them we were nervous they may collapse. They probably need to be revamped as well.
