We love Dauphin Island because it has the beautiful beaches but without the traffic jams and massive crowds of other gulf destinations. And this home has been our favorite for several years now. It is clean, well-maintained, and very well stocked with everything you need. Best of all, it's only a short walk to the beach. The covered porch is also great for enjoying the ocean breeze and sound of waves from a shady spot when you've had enough sun. And everything else is within just a couple miles - restaurants, grocery, estuarium, Fort Gaines, boat rides, bird sanctuary, and the ferry. Bellingrath house and gardens is also a beautiful spot to visit, only about half an hour away from Dauphin Island.
