Gulf Side-Walk to the beach, great views, pet-friendly - Boa Vista

Welcome to Boa Vista, your perfectly located beach retreat on Dauphin Island.

Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a quiet couples’ escape, or a memory-making trip with friends, Boa Vista delivers a true island experience.

Inside, the home features a fresh, open layout with light-filled rooms and beachy finishes throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and the living area is designed for movie nights, card games, and easy conversation.

Step outside and you’ll see why Boa Vista earned its name. The large back deck offers space to lounge, dine, or simply breathe in the salt air. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing off after the beach quick and easy.
