Beach house holiday rentals in Dauphin Island

We had a fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment we booked, the hosts were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They answered all our questions quickly, gave great local recommendations, and were always available if we needed anything. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, but it was the hosts’ attentiveness and kindness that really made our stay special. Highly recommend—would definitely stay here again!

We discovered a hidden gem! What a delightful stay for everyone. There is a ramp on one side of the house that made bringing our luggage in a breeze. The view of the dunes and beach was nice each morning as we sat outside and sipped our coffee. There was even some wildlife to watch. Once at the beach, it couldn't get any better. Very few people, a gentle slope into the ocean and plenty of soft white gulf coast sand to put our chairs in! As mentioned by others, Heather is a very responsive host. Making sure each guest has what they may need. The layout of the house made it for easy for all boasting very comfortable bedrooms that were away from the commotion of the common spaces. There are sand chairs available as well as a wagon if you would like help bringing your toys to the beach. There is a slight walk to the beach but not on we ever had to dread making. Already looking at another week in 2026 to return!

Great location on the island. Had dolphins come by every morning. House has everything you need for a great stay.

If you’re looking for a DREAM beach stay, book now! This place is 10 out of 10 with spacious rooms & living room. Lots of blankets to cuddle up with & extra towels for showers. All the beds were nice & comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of silverware, bowls, & any dish you need to cook - we really appreciated this! Wonderful view of the beach with several spots on the upper or lower balconies to rest/relax. Also used the outdoor shower to rinse sand off too. You’re right on the beach so lots of nice views, we actually saw dolphins most days we were there. The hosts are a sweet & genuine couple who are invested in guests having the best vacation ever experience! We will for sure be looking at renting this place again in the future.

We had a lovely time at Tiffany’s place! The house is very close to the beach. You do have to cross the main road but the access felt safe for us and our kids. There were many beach toys and amenities which was very nice. The house and neighborhood were comfortable and quiet. It was fun to sit under the house on the swings and relax in the shade! It was easy to walk and bike around the island. We would be very happy to stay there again!

A beautiful home with amazing beach access and wonderful pool. Our family took a trip here and with several young kids, it made the trip much more enjoyable being able to go to the beach and back to the house easily. Another plus that wasn’t mentioned is that there’s a Tesla 240V charger at the house which is great for EV charging. Overall, we had a great time!

This is our 3rd year staying at her lovely beach home with my family. There is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their stay with big bedrooms and a big table to gather at for dinners. It has the perfect location on the Sound side with easy walking access to the Gulf side too. It is always the vacation home we look forward to stay in every year.

Carla and Jason's Barefoot Bungalow was everything we had hoped for and more! To look out the windows and see the ocean was breathtaking. Having a place right on the ocean was so worth it! (Though cost was totally reasonable!) We had a small gathering of immediate family for my Mom's birthday and it could not have been a better venue! Being so close to the beach allowed for so much more ease, entertainment, and joy! Walks and time on the beach in both the morning and the evening was so conducive to connection. Perfect for a family reunion of sorts! Sitting on the large wraparound deck to greet the day over coffee, sea birds flying over head, and the ocean breeze was wonderful! And the interior layout allowed for all of us to have space and room to breathe. Our time at Barefoot Bungalow will be remembered forever and we hope to make it back there in the not too distant future!

The condo was beautiful, spacious, and certainly great for a family with small kids. It is situated in a gated community at Laguna Key at the end of Beach Blvd (turn right at HangOut). The community afforded us increased privacy which is nice when you don't want to be around all the hustle and bustle of the main GS beaches. All the condo amenities were as described and perfect for us - they even had a pack n play and of course beach/pool toys. The private pool was a huge hit with the kids and so convenient. There was a community pool but we did not use it because of the private pool that was the right size and depth for small kids. The community access to the beach was a short walk. The beach was great and it was not ever crowded during our stay. Michelle was responsive whenever I messaged. We had an excellent stay and would stay here again next time we are in Gulf Shores.

House was beautiful and perfect for what we needed! Ashleigh was easy to contact and made sure everything was ready for us

The house is beautiful! Having a private beach is the way to go! We had a small issue with the coffee maker not working and Tony was quick to respond. He had a new Keruig/coffee maker to us in no time. You just have to experience Beacon Light for yourself to really appreciate it! You do not need to bring extra supplies with you, as Tony has it all! A kitchen fully stocked with all appliances and utensils, beach chairs and toys for the kids, beach towels, games for the family, gas grill for cooking, and so much more. Truly worth visiting and experiencing!

This place exceeded our expectations. There were so many amenities provided, such as boogie boards, beach chairs and towels, toys, nets and shovels. The weather throughout our stay was glorious! We enjoyed both the ocean and the pool. The washer and dryer sets were essential! Two of all appliances were perfect! Anything we needed in the kitchen was there. Being on the upper level was another blessing. We used the outside porch to the max! Definitely recommend Norris Lake Chalet for large families.

Wow! Our stay at this house was nothing short of amazing! The brand-new property was super clean and provided ample space for our group of six adults and five children. The pool was a perfect hit with our grandchildren, ranging in age from 10 to 3 years old. They had a blast splashing around and enjoying the water. The beach being just a short walk away added to the convenience and fun of our trip. We were also incredibly thankful for the corner plaza market, which had everything we needed - a restaurant, a seafood market, an ice cream stand, and of course, a small market for any essentials. Joel was exceptional in his responsiveness to all our communications, ensuring that our stay was smooth and enjoyable. This place truly knocks it out of the park 100% and is absolutely perfect for families looking to have a memorable vacation. Highly recommend!

Ashley’s home was beautifully decorated with a stocked kitchen of what’s needed for cooking. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. The beds were comfy and a connecting bathroom to each bedroom. The beach access was just a few minutes away. We would recommend staying here for the location was perfect and the accommodations made it feel like home!

This Airbnb is in a great location. About 15-20 min from the heart of Gulf Shores. The back has a beautiful view of the bay and you're just a walk across the street to the ocean. We came here with 10 ladies for the weekend and had plenty of room for everyone.

We stayed at the Seagull for 5 nights. The house was even more beautiful in person, the view amazing, and everything that you could possibly need for comfort and functionality was provided. Our hosts were super friendly and responded promptly to my many questions. By far the most amazing house we’ve ever rented and I’m sure it’s the first of many times that we will be back.

It was great to sit on the deck and drink your coffee with the ocean breeze. But the young people in our group would have liked it to be closer to town. Can’t please everyone. There was a Dollar General 6 miles away. But overall we had a great time. The beach chairs, etc…. Provided was a great touch. Would stay there again

What an amazing stay!! This super cozy home was perfect for our family of seven to stay while we went on a beach vacation. The hosts thought of everything and had a lovely welcome basket with some special treats. They provided beach towels, and all kinds of beach toys to make our outings smoothe. The home was very unique and cozy. The only downside is the primary bedroom is the smallest and it was slightly uncomfortable in that room. Otherwise; it was an absolutely perfect stay! We would love to come back!

Wonderfull place to stay and no hassle

We had a fantastic stay at Josh’s Airbnb on Dauphin Island! Josh was incredibly responsive and friendly, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. The home was immaculate and located in a beautiful area, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our kids had a blast with all the activities available, and having the golf cart made getting around the island super convenient. The house itself was stunning—spacious, beautifully decorated, and truly felt like a home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it to friends and family!

This house has everything you could possibly need! beautiful location with beautiful sunset views. Had a blast fishing off the dock and swimming with the kiddos!

This is a stunning place from which to explore the island! You can walk over the dunes to the secluded beach nearby and take a swim all by yourself (not counting the pelicans and terns). If you want a bicycle to get around the island, there's currently just one rental in operation on the island -- Salty Dog. I recommend calling them in advance, and they can deliver the bikes to the place when you arrive.

Our family of eight adults stayed at Lisa’s place and were blown away by how perfectly it met our needs. It’s a beautiful house, seems new and well-taken care of. Although it’s in a neighborhood, there is a sense of space, privacy, and peacefulness. We loved the spacious living area that opened into the kitchen, which was perfect for cooking and hanging out. Lisa was very quick to respond to any concerns and over & above gracious. Having a golf cart, which she provided for a reasonable fee, was a game-changer for getting back & forth to the beach. Also enjoyed the front porch! We definitely would come back to Lisa’s place!

We loved the place! Spacious, very clean, nice decor, and private location. Just as pictured/described. All the amenities we needed and then some! Lots to do and explore for us and our 4 kids. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, walking on the sandy beach, watching the sunset from the porch, great views, and enjoyed playing family board games when it was rainy. The house is walking distance to the west end beach. The area was beautiful and we saw lots of dolphins! They even had Christmas decorations to put up and ornaments to hang on a lighted palm tree, which was a nice festive add on to our family Christmas vacation. We would stay again!
