the DREAMCATCHER at Indian Bay - A peaceful waterfront escape

Are you seeking refuge from your daily routine? Hoping to recharge your batteries, let your mind quiet itself and simply relax? Then "the DREAMCATCHER" is exactly what you have been waiting for. Peaceful sunrises and watercolor sunsets await just off the rear porch. Grab a hot cup of coffee and snuggle into an oversized chair as you watch the pelicans dive for their breakfast. Midday, hop on a paddle board or in a kayak to explore the beautiful desolate adjacent islands. In the evening, try your hand at fishing and cook it up fresh on the grill. Complete your day swaying in a hammock and sipping a cocktail as the evening breeze surrounds you and lulls you to sleep. Take this moment in time to pamper yourself. Our goal is for you to leave this place refreshed, relaxed and ready to embrace your next adventure!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Very lovely place

Dreamcatcher is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed.. the water view with boats going by was wonderful . My grandson especially loved this. He is 3.Everything was lovely. Dauphin island is low key and I suggest you check places to eat in advance b/c many are not open every day. West end beach at sunset is a marvel. Many amenities were included at the house like a big straw bag for beach going, a floater vest for small child , maps, soap and shampoo and many condiments. Very thoughtful.

As soon as we walked into the Dreamcatcher, it was so clean, beautiful and charming to behold! Like we stepped into an enchanting hgtv beach show episode! We loved all the natural light and fun decor. The Dreamcatcher was the perfect location with a beautiful, expansive view of the bay. We enjoyed watching the boats go by and having our own dock. We used the crab traps and caught a few crabs which was a first time experience for us that we loved. We were able to use the beach cruisers available and rode them to the lighthouse bakery nearby for delicious smoothies and cinnamon rolls. Everything was close by- the beach, restaurants and the ferry to Gulf Shores! Heather, our host, always responded promptly to our needs and questions which made for the perfect experience for us. We highly recommend staying at the Dreamcatcher, you won’t be disappointed!!

Dream Vacation

We could not have imagined a better experience than the Dreamcatcher! The house was immaculate and exactly as the listing described. There were so many small touches that truly made us feel like we were visiting someone’s home, not just their vacation rental house. It’s obvious they care! Heather was so easy to communicate with and graciously answered any question I sent her way. She even checked on us during a weather alert! The house was well equipped with anything we needed to enjoy our time inside, outside or while at the beach. The house had so many things that even our family staying in another rental didn’t have (and theirs were much more expensive). My husband and sons had the best time fishing on the dock and I enjoyed sunrises on the patio with coffee. The neighbors were so nice, offering restaurant recommendations and even let my sons and niece meet their dogs. The location is close to everything. If we happen to visit Dauphin Island again, we will seek out The Dreamcatcher as our first rental choice and will recommend this house to anyone looking to stay on the island. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

Just What We Were Looking For!

We travel quite a bit and anywhere coastal is my favorite destination. Couldn't believe that we had not been to Dauphin Island in 10 years! Still the sleepy little island I remembered. And Heather's place was the PERFECT location for my husband and I to go for a long weekend for some rest and relaxation. Long lazy days sitting on the deck watching the sunrise, drinking coffee and watching the boats go by, reading my book at the sweet little beach we found nearby, bike rides around the island to watch the sunset and then back to the deck at the end of the day! Heather was so easy to communicate with and the house is beautiful! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay! The weather was the only one that did not get the memo that we were on a weekend getaway. All in all it was still nice. Had no complaints on the house. Amazing view from the dock, to the deck, to the couch, and all the way to the kitchen. Did not get to enjoy the back deck like we wanted to but looking forward to another stay in the future with better weather hopefully. Would definitely recommend!
