See the island and spend time on the beach 👍

Property was great needed new door locks. Couldn’t get keys to work properly. But was quiet and peaceful. Deck could use a good Dewalt blower to clean leaves in the fall. 😂 but was great overall!

Great location and pet friendly!

We stayed here with our two dogs. While it wasn’t anything fancy, it was just what we needed. It had a good sized yard for our dogs to play (be careful, there are a few spots the dogs can slip out of), and had plenty of room for us all in the house. I loved the little touches of having dog blankets, towels, and poop bags available. It was a short what to the public beach it self, then a hike to the water. It was located within walking distance of a few restaurants which was nice as well. When Hurricane Sally showed up, we decided to leave early. They were nice enough to refund us some money. If you are visiting Dauphin Island with dogs, I highly recommend it.

Delightful little cottage

How I loved this small place under the trees near Middle Beach. I had absolutely everything I needed to be comfortable, to cook, to watch some old movies. My little dog didn't really want to leave. Well, me neither.
