Pet Friendly Tranquil Cottage with Fire-Pit & Hot-Tub MINUTES from beaches.

Charming beach cottage located in the heart of Dauphin Island. Look no further if you're searching for a place to go off the grid while experiencing small town community vibes. This location is a short bike ride or walk to see one-of-a-kind views in the sunset capital of Alabama. The spacious driveway welcomes multiple vehicles and boats less than three miles from boat ramp. Unwind and relax in this quaint community with gorgeous white sandy beaches and fresh Gulf seafood.

The Agape Cottage is located at the end of a quiet, family-friendly street and only one mile from closest beach. It is a two story open concept home with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The spacious master suite upstairs covers the entire second story! Fully stocked kitchen and a gas grill located on screened in back porch. Enjoy the large front and back porches that provide outdoor living space to experience the island's unique sounds and beautiful views. Indulge in the relaxing hot- tub that is available year round for guests.

There are sofa beds located in the family room and master suite. A queen air mattress is also included.

Three adult cruisers are at your disposal, but additional bicycle rentals are less than a mile away. Basketball goal, games, puzzles, books, chalk, and toys are included for family fun! Enjoy the cozy fire-pit for cool fall/winter evenings. Relax on front or back porch, or get adventurous and check out what the island has to offer: beaches, the Alabama Aquarium, Mobile Bay ferry, bird sanctuaries, shops, historic Fort Gaines, restaurants, bike paths, art galleries, public library or public park with a playground and skate park.

Great family vacation

Our family of 10, 4 generations stayed in this wonderful home and there was plenty of room to be together and have some space. The property is located in the middle of Dauphin Island and accessible to everything. The area felt safe and was very quiet. Jessica was an awesome host, concerned with making sure everything was just right. She communicated effectively and responded quickly when we had a question. Definitely a great place to stay!

Beautiful, secluded cottage for a perfect getaway

We just returned from our stay at the Agape Cottage and absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is very cozy, well-appointed and has a wonderful screened-in back porch. The location is quiet and secluded, which is perfect for us. Jessica is an awesome hostess responding to any questions/concerns very quickly, as well as providing great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. So happy we booked the cottage and we will definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this lovely house.

Fall break at the beach

This house was at the end of a quiet street, perfect for biking in the neighborhood or to the Lighthouse bakery. We had fun cooking and relaxing in the large back porch, and also exploring different beaches on this small sweet island. Our group of 10 spanned ages 1-76 and the house was perfect, comfy and very pleasant.
