About this house rental

Bird's Nest

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

Bird’s Nest is located on top of a protected dune with spectacular views of Pelican Cove and the Gulf of Mexico. The fabulous views of the water can be enjoyed from the screened-in porch with outdoor dining for four or from the private hot tub where each night you can see the lighthouse light shining beneath the stars. More of a morning person? Then you will love the kitchen, as it is set up to take advantage of more views from the cozy bench seat where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. The views continue in the main bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and large soaking tub. The home also has a loft with two twin beds and a second bathroom with a walk-in shower.

This home also has an elevator that enters from the concrete drive and opens to the main living level. Bird lovers will enjoy scanning the trees for the wide varieties of birds that call Dauphin Island home. Who knows, you may even get a chance to see the bald eagle that is often seen in the trees by Bird’s Nest. If visiting during the cooler seasons, the wood-burning stove is a great way to warm up after a winter stroll with the family dog. It doesn’t get any better than Bird’s Nest, where you can step off the deck and have nothing but sand between you and the shoreline.

A short, sandy walk to the water's edge of Bienville Beach can be enjoyed —a stroll guests have described as enjoyable and part of the experience. A place where you can splash around, swim, and play with the kids. A mile away, you'll find Ship & Shore Supplies Inc. with everything you need to keep your pantry stocked during your stay. Head two-and-a-half miles east to visit Audubon Bird Sanctuary, with maritime forest and walking trails full of spectacular wildlife. Bird lovers will enjoy scanning the trees for the many varieties of birds that call Dauphin Island home.

Loved the private quiet setting and layout of the home. Elevator is life saver and the BBQ out front was great. Tons of parking, plenty of towels and wash cloths. Easy access and good location to get around the island. Would def recommend!

Very quiet, relaxing setting. Centrally located to all that the island has to offer. House was clean up on arrival and has a great grilling station. Elevator was a life saver and enjoyed how quiet it was. The stars are amazing at night.

There were problems with the elevator. Called the host and never received a response. Their instructions were incomplete. While trying to figure out how it works, had to bring up some luggage the equivalent of 4 flights of stairs. The stairs also had loose handrailing. The lockbox was unsecured when we arrived, anyone could have gotten in. Most awful experience was a “swarm” of termites INDOORS. They were everywhere flying around and getting ON OUR FAMILY. Made more calls to host, was on the phone for hours and they did nothing and there was no place to go. They said it is normal for that area. Termite swarms are normal, just not indoors. We couldn’t sleep, finally closed off part of the house with the shower and washer/dryer and put towels under the door. It stopped new ones from entering. The next day there were dead bugs everywhere, on countertops, drawers, floors. Would never recommend this place.

Loved the island. Christmas break not too many places to eat. The 3 flights of stairs to the unlighted porch in the cold was annoying. Could’nt see the lock box then had to use a flashlight on my knees to dial the code. The lock box wouldn’t open to release the keys. Called assistance 30 minutes on hold (cold dark) she couldn’t help but found the on island person. Another 30 minutes and This person was not on the island but told us how pry open the space with the keys.

We really enjoyed ourselves here. It was a short Sandy walk to the beach and honestly we enjoyed the walk. However, people with mobility issues or not wanting to walk in sand up and down a hill might not enjoy it as much. The house was very clean and well furnished, although the living room furniture could be more comfortable. The elevator from the parking area directly to the living room was a very nice feature. The views were nice and although there are houses close by, there is a sense of privacy from the beach side porch. The kitchen appliances and layout were very nice. In all, the house was very comfortable for us and we enjoyed our stay.
