About this house rental

Sweet Home Alabama

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience the Gulf of Mexico as you've never seen it before at this beachfront Dauphin Island home! Offering panoramic views of white sand and Gulf waves that stretch for miles, this beautiful home features spacious, covered porches on the upper and lower levels, 1,600 square feet of living space, and beach access mere steps away. The well-equipped kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and there's plenty of room for everyone at mealtime around the large dining table. If the weather is nice - and it probably is - dine alfresco on any of three picnic tables. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy entertainment options at home including free cable, a DVD library, and free WiFi. More vacation necessities include central AC, a washer/dryer, and gas grill.

This Gulf-front home is a haven for beach-goers, cyclists, anglers, and birders. You can take a boat out to the 132-foot Sand Island Lighthouse, which sits roughly three miles south of the Mobile Bay entrance. The fascinating marine exhibits at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab at The Estuarium are six miles east, as are the wonderfully preserved Fort Gaines and the Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Cyclists will also delight in miles of paved biking paths on the island - you can even bike to the ferry and ride over to Fort Morgan for a perfect day trip.

Great property. My family and I have been to Dauphin Island several times. We all agreed this was the best one yet. House was clean, well equipped and a great location. Fishing was good as well as the daily nap. Had a great much needed time to chill.

The location to the beach is great. The house pro's are the two decks - very roomy and some coverage, the upstairs room with the bunk beds and two bedrooms is great for family with kids and of course the short walk to the beach. The cons are the couch down stairs is just not good - very dated and uncomfortable, the dishwasher did not seem to clean the dishes very well (had to rewash), the bathroom downstairs has a very small shower and the water can not be adjusted for anyone under 6 feet, and the microwave was so so. We did have a good vacation but I think that some issues should be addressed.

Absolutely wonderful vacation! The location was perfect and a beautiful place to be with family! The island businesses and people were a pleasure to interact with! We had a couple of issues which we addressed with Vacasa, and I hope that they will ensure that future visitors will benefit.

The house was just as the pictures showed. Amazing views, a family would love it there. It was just a long overdue honeymoon for us and mimosas were good too. Thank you for such a clean setting.

PROS-Property was super clean and has a gas grill that was wonderful. Bed was super comfortable. Close to the water. CONS-Down stairs furniture isn’t comfortable, you will need extension cords in order to use alarm clock and nightstand lamps in downstairs bedroom. And it does NOT have cable tv as advertised. The only channels you get are the major local networks. And none of the tvs are smart tvs so you can’t stream anything either, makes for long days when you have bad weather.

We had a wonderful stay at Sweet Home Alabama! The proximity to the beach and beach views were phenomenal! The house was clean and well stocked with everything you need to have a relaxing beach vacation and for cooking at the home. The house has 4 plastic deck chairs that worked great on the beach and sand toys which our young kids enjoyed. Would definitely recommend!
