Some properties are "Direct, Gulf-front", which means there is nothing between them and the water. Others are "Partial Gulf view" which usually means that there are one or more houses between the house and the water . . . Please read the description for each home for more details on its location.
While most of our Guests are familiar with the Gulf of Mexico beach on our Island's southern coast, Dauphin Island also has a wonderful north-side beach- a bay beach with soft sand, calmer waters and a shallow slope, making it ideal for families with younger children. Due to the narrowness of the Island, many bayfront homes are just a few minutes' walk from the Gulf beach as well, making it the "best of both worlds".
The Bay side of the Island is ideal for for small craft, such as jetski or Kayaks. Kayak rentals are available on the Island, just ask!
