This place is literally a hop and skip to the water. No jump needed. This is what we were looking for. We can hang out on the porch but still be near everyone playing in the water. One thing that doesn’t get mentioned is the great area under the deck and house that has awesome sand and tons of shade. Our kids loved playing down there.
The owner had amazing communication and I absolutely recommend this property.

The house and hosts were fantastic. The pictures were amazing exactly what we found upon arrival. If you are looking for a laid back beach retreat without all of the Destin road and beach traffic, then this is the perfect place.

The house was everything we had anticipated. The A/C went out our first day, but a quick call and someone was there within 30 minutes to get us cooling again. The kitchen had everything, beach towels, comfortable beds and a deck with a view. We even had an outdoor shower which was perfect to clean the sand off us. We have been telling everyone how wonderful it was and they should book it too! The best beach vacation we ever had!!!

The check in process was simple. The property was clean and updated. We loved the simplicity of being able to walk right out the door to the beach. My favorite part was that you can hear the waves from every room of the house which made for a great nights sleep. Also, so many stars in the night sky!!! Would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!! The house was perfect and spotless. We had no need for beach umbrellas or a beach wagon. If we felt like we needed some shade, we just moved back under the house. We brought beach toys for our daughter, but we were pleasantly surprised to see everything she needed to play in the sand already there! There were so many sea shells, we brought home a bucket full. The beach was quiet with few other visitors, so that was nice too!
The only thing that I would change was the washing machine left some detergent residue, so I had to do an extra rinse each time. The house also needs a cheese grater. Other than that, this is the perfect house for relaxation and seclusion. We would definitely stay here again!

Property was very clean and well maintained. Literally had everything we needed and extra items that made our visit great (hammock, shaded area for play, and outdoor shower to rinse sand). Plenty of space for our group of seven. Loved that it was right on the beach. We saw several dolphins! Thank you for making our family vacation to Dauphin Island so special!

Our stay at the Coastal Gratitude house was 5 stars in all ways! It was a quiet beach spot with comfortable accommodations. Our family of 9 enjoyed the stay on Dauphin Island and adventured to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We enjoyed coming "home" to a comfortable spot where we could swim and play on the beach while enjoying the great views! The house is spacious and is set up well. It accommodated our needs for a 5 day stay!

Honestly could not ask for a better house for our beach vacation! The owners absolutely saved our baby moon and were so helpful with anything needed. The house was spotless and directly on the west end/gulf side of Dauphin...so nice to have coffee on the patio each morning and our own soft beach to relax on. We will absolutely be back for future trips to the island!

The home was just beautiful and so clean. Loved being a few feet from the water. The neighborhood was quiet and low keyed. Just what we were looking for. The only issue we had were the cooking pots and pans. They were all teflone and were so scratched up we went and bought a few to cook with. They really need to be replaced. Everything else was perfect. I would highly recommend this lovely home. Thank you for sharing it!!

The house was clean, kitchen had everything we needed and we watched every sunrise and sunset from the deck. It’s so nice to walk down the deck steps and be right on the beach. I suggest you bring most of your groceries and drinks. There is a small grocery store on the island and a Dollar General about 7 miles away. We enjoyed the pickleball courts by the golf course. We took the ferry over to Fort Morgan and drove to Flora-Bama bar. I love this beach house and Dauphin Island. We hope we will have the opportunity to return again.

We would recommend this home to families who want to be directly on the beach!! Pictures are accurate of the property!

We had an amazing trip to Dauphin Island. Our kids had a blast and the house was conveniently located so we didn't have the hassle of lugging items a long distance to enjoy the beach. Emily and Amy were wonderful host and provide you with everything you need. When we realized there werent any trash bags, they had them waiting for us at the door, the very next morning. It was perfect and we highly recommend. We would love to come back to Dauphin Island!

We thouroghly enjoyed our stay at Coastal Gratitude! The check in was easy and prompt. The house was lovely and just as described. It was just steps from the beautiful beach. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails out on the spacious deck that offered plenty of seating for all 9 of us. I liked that the living room as well as the master bedroom opended directly onto the deck. There was plenty of beach chairs and toys for adults and kids. The only problem we had was our trash can was taken after the first day. Emily went above and beyond to come and pick up our trash herself. What a incredible host! We will definitely try to reserve this house for our next visit to DI.

If you like low-key less touristy places this house is for you. Felt like we had our own private beach. The house is exactly as pictures and description state. Plenty of space for our group of 10.

Was everything we wanted! Quiet with a private beach!
No high rise towers to deal with. Steps away from our deck was the gulf ocean. Could leave our stuff out on the beach and take a break in the house!
The hosts helped us out with a scheduling conflict by letting us shift our days back 2 days.
We will be back!!

This was our first time on the island and this house was the perfect spot for us. We were able to sit on the deck and watch the waves, birds, and dolphins! Thank you for a great vacation!

A very nice home. The location was perfect. We have stayed on Dauphin Island several times previously. This home did not disappoint. Everything was as described. Cissy was quick to respond to any questions we had. Access to the home was easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at this home.

We enjoyed staying ten steps away from the ocean. The house had very comfortable beds, plenty of towels and all the items we needed to cook meals. The long public beach with no development was only a half mile away and was a beautiful place to walk. The seafood from Skinners was excellent take out. We swam every day. The sand was white and very pretty.
The ocean had a lot of sediment but I suspect it was because it was windy and the waves were very strong while we were there. It was nice to be in a spot where there are no chain stores, just little mom and pop places. It was very relaxing.

Beautiful beach rental only steps away from the waves. Lots of amenities - beach towels - beach toys. Kitchen was furnished with everything you would need. The four grandsons loved the bunk bed room! George came to visit us everyday!! Overall - a perfect rental!

Prior to moving overseas, we wanted to spend some time with our family. This house was perfect for that! It is ideally located beach front with extra space on each side. You feel like you are on a private beach! The deck is huge with multiple entries from the house. Loved that there was a screen option for keeping the doors open with no critters flying in the house. The description of the house and the pictures are accurate but truly don't due justice to the, as my daughter termed it, cozy spaciousness! Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We highly recommend this house!

My daughters and I had the best Fall Break on our first trip to Dauphin Island. The house and views from the deck are stunning! The house has everything you need for your stay. We basically had the beach out front to ourselves. Any questions we had were responded to so quickly by Cissy, which is appreciated greatly. We walked the beach on the West End and found some amazing shells and sea glass. We also watched dolphins playing in the water, saw so many different types of birds (no George, but we did see one of his friends), jelly fish, pink meanies, and sting rays. On the morning we were leaving, we even had a visit from a very friendly red fox! We could not have asked for a better trip and are definitely coming back next Fall!

This was our first time visiting Dauphin Island and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience or home to relax in. The home is beautiful, well decorated, very clean, and perfectly laid out. The furniture, beds and towels are definitely an upgrade compared to other rentals. The house sits right on the beach only steps away from the ocean with the perfect views. We watched every sunrise and sunset from the large upper deck. The 6 person table on the outside deck was perfect for enjoying meals, watching dolphins and the beauty of DI. There was plenty of loungers to relax in, the outside shower is perfect to wash the sand off and our favorite spot was the double hammock. We used the kitchen most days and it was very well stocked with everything you need to make meals.
If you're looking for a wonderful, relaxing home, on a beautiful island to just relax and enjoy time away from the busyness of life, this is it.
Cissy is an AMAZING co-host. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a nicer person to make our trip perfect!
We honestly didn't want to write this review for the fear of the home getting booked up more and more. We loved it and didn't want to come home.

We loved every minute at Coastal Gratitude! The house is gorgeous, furnished beautifully, extremely clean and the location was perfect. We look forward to coming back in the future! I really can't think of anything that I'd change other that maybe a wash station for our feet before we came back on the deck but there was a place to wash off once you were up on the upper deck. WONDERFUL all the way around!

This is our second time staying in Dauphin Island. This home was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for anything nicer. We stepped right on to the beach from our deck. We grilled out and had dinner under the covered area and just relaxed in the chairs on the uncovered section. The fenced sandbox at the bottom would have been perfect when we had little ones. We never had to haul a big cooler to the beach because everything we needed was only steps away to the house. The bedrooms were perfect sized, and three bathrooms was a treat for us. The owners were great when we needed to get in touch about coming a day early. We will definitely be back.
