About this house rental

The three minute video attached says it best! "Lil" House is a four bedroom, three bath house, with spacious living area and sonething for everyone in your group! Its unique wrap-around porch allows for a breeze at any time of the day or night. Designed like a riverboat, each room (including the bedrooms) have doors leading out to the wrap-around porch. The house's best feature is the sunsets which are unobstructed due to its northern most point on the island. They can be observed from the upper or lower deck with lots of seating options on each. The sandy yard with a wooden boardwalk-covered seawall only feet from the porch allows for the best of both island worlds.....sand fun for the kids and sunbathers, and boat access for the swimmers and sports enthusiast. The fishing from the dock is great both day and night. The underwater nightlight is an added bonus and lends itself to great night fishing. Swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding (all included) are extremely easy to do right in front of the house. AND its so close to the house that you can talk to your family and friends on the front porch while you swim in front of the house. Dolphins are seen often frolicking out front and dive-bombing pelicans are very entertaining to watch from one of the bed swing, two porch swings, three sofas, two arm chairs, two lounge chairs, or two rocking chairs. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and a private bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third has twin beds with one trundle. And the fourth bedroom, called the Teen Bunk Room because it is located downstairs with a separate entrance offering lots of privacy, has two sets of bunk beds with twin beds on top and full size beds on bottom. This room is not suitable for small children however, since there is no interior entrance to the bunkroom; it’s only accessible from the outside (which is covered.) The bunk room also has a TV and Wii, and its own bathroom. Also, downstairs on the lower decks are four Adirondack chairs, a sofa, two arm chairs, a TV, a bed swing, a dining table and four chairs, a bar table with four barstools, and two lounge chairs for sun bathing. A green egg grill/smoker is provided and excellent for steaks and grilled oysters. There is also a PK grill that can be rolled out to the dock. There is a commercial grade ping pong table, as well as corn hole and bocce ball. If you want to walk down to the Gulf-side beach, a wagon and beach chairs are provided. Our favorite thing to do with kids is to walk the 2 blocks to the beach at dusk with flashlights, nets, and buckets and let them chase and capture sand crabs. The best part is letting the crabs go at one time and watching the kids scramble to get out of the way! Other things we like to do on the island include exploring the deserted stretch of sand dunes, riding bikes on the 9-mile bike path, spending the day at the Isle Dauphine Public Swim Club swimming in the pool or playing pickleball/tennis/golf, renting a pontoon boat and taking it for a picnic lunch on sand island, paddling the kayaks in the nearby estuary where you can park and walk to the wine bar or the sno cone place, touring the bird sanctuary or the Aquarium of Alabama, enjoying fresh pastries at Lighthouse Bakery, or walking to Island Rainbow for a snow cone or pizza dinner. Each fun-filled day will culminate with an amazing and memorable sunset that can be watched from the front porch or dock. So whether you are a family with small children, or snowbirds looking for tranquility, or a fishing enthusiast, Lil House is for you! And the following pictures tell it all! (Don’t miss the four minute video!)

We loved the location of the home. The only downfall was the cleanliness of the home. The owner was super accommodating with all questions which was so helpful, but we just wished the home was cleaner. We had a great time on our vacation.

Susan's house is lovely and the view is just outstanding! Dauphin Island is a nice quiet getaway. We enjoyed the dolphins, fishing, E bikes, touring the island and the restaurants!

Lil House was absolutely perfect for our February getaway! The home is cozy, comfortable, and clean. It had everything and more than we could have asked for. The bay is so close and the views are great from both inside and outside. There are so many things to enjoy from the outdoor areas. We fished from the dock, watched the pelicans and herons catch fish in the light at night, played ping pong, and read books on the porch swing bed. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful! We watched dolphins swim by the dock each day. We also enjoyed walking on the beaches and hiking the Audubon trails. We had a wonderful trip and will rent from Susan again in the future. She was very welcoming and provided all kinds of helpful information. Thanks for the amazing memories!

We absolutely love our vacations to Dauphin Island and have stayed on several properties on the island. This one will always be at the top of our list. The dock and the view are beautiful! The house had everything we needed for a successful and fun filled trip. Susan was an amazing and responsive host and answered every question we had. We will definitely stay at this home again and hopefully this summer! See you soon!

This house was perfect! The owner had great communication skills. The kids enjoyed having their own space in the bunk room to relax and play. The wrap around porch was great! Even in the rain, we found dry places to sit. There were 9 of us total and we had plenty of room. The view from the dock was perfect. We can't wait to visit again!

The house is as described. Excellent property and host. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on the bay side. We had several dolphins swim within feet of the dock. Fishing was excellent, access to beach was easy. Make sure you spend time at night watching the light out in the bay, we saw several fish and a shark come in at night to the light. Only recommendation is to rebuild the lower dock for easy access to the kayaks.
