About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Bay-Front Beach. Huge deck out back. Awesome water views. Bring dogs.

Hang out and RELAX at our spacious cottage on the water. SeaDream offers sweeping vistas of the bay from our oversized back deck just 30 feet from the water. Also, enjoy grand Gulf views from the front deck.

This vacation home is a "rare setting" with quick access to 2 white, sugar sand beaches! Just steps away to your own private bayside beach out back - OR - take an easy walk out front across to a special "neighborhood only" path to the Gulfside beach. Bring your chairs, umbrella and cooler and enjoy the Gorgeous Gulf without any of the hassles of parking or permits.

Our pet friendly property is located on a quiet cul-de sac off of the main thoroughfare through the island. Very safe for children and pets! Our private bayside beach offers pleasantly calm waters for children and a wonderful off -leash play area for your pups!

SeaDream is a Fishermans paradise! With a private bay beach you can feel free to cast away without needing your fishing license or worrying about about the hassles of permits. No need to worry about someone else catching “your fish” either!

SeaDream was newly renovated in the last couple of years. New paint, appliances, floorings and more. Colorfully decorated, our home SeaDream offers exactly the kind of sought after beach side accommodations folks enjoy in a beachside retreat. Smart TV’s for those seeking a little time indoors after a long day on the beach. A Spacious Kitchen Island for preparing family meals to be served at the indoors or on our bayside deck dining area. A three bedroom split floor plan provides just the right amount of privacy to travel comfortably with your family or friends. And we’re pet friendly-- actually allowing up to 4 dogs!! We strongly encourage that you bring ALL of your loved ones, which includes " fur babies"

Dauphin Island is still largely untouched by the high rises, condos and large developments of many coastal communities. This provides for a true “Island Time” type of getaway.

Our property manager can suggest scenic historic spots, aquarium location, kayak and bike rentals, places to buy and eat locally caught fish, and more!

We also have a pet friendly Bed and Breakfast small hotel in New Orleans and you can benefit from reduced packages if you want to visit Dauphin Island, plus stop in New Orleans too!

Keywords: House on narrow western part of island, directly on beach overlooking north bay (shallow, calm waters, very private beach). Gulf beach, with breakers, directly across street, with easy access. See both bodies of water from inside house

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BEFORE INSTANTLY BOOKING, PLEASE WRITE YOUR MESSAGE OR QUESTION TO DEBORAH S., YOUR PROPERTY HOST.

What an amazing experience! I would give the host 6 stars if I could! She was incredibly responsive and so incredibly kind. They wanted us to have the very best experience and that meant the world to us! The huge back deck was a dream! It was also the backdrop for an amazing view from the gigantic kitchen counter as we were making dinner. My husband and I love to cook, and the kitchen was very well stocked! Go to Bayou La Batre, buy fresh shrimp off of the boat, and BBQ it on the kettle grill. Bring your bikes because you are minutes from the west end beach and the private beach across the street. In fact, we biked from end to end of the island. We didn't even need a car. Even during "busy season" the beaches are incredibly beautiful and bare. This house was the PERFECT foundation for the PERFECT vacation spot.

House is located on Mississippi Sound; super calm and shallow waters. Perfect for our kiddo and dogs. House is well maintained and comfortable. Short walk to gulf side beaches, can see them clearly from kitchen window. Dog friendly to the max. Was in for Thanksgiving week so limited options on restaurants and activities but sooo quiet and peaceful! Trips into Theodore for supplies/pharmacy not bad at all.

Great Stay

Location is great, close by the beach, and property manager had excellent communication. Not as many items within the house for children under 2 (high chairs, cribs, etc) but they told us ahead of time so we had everything we needed for the stay.The back deck is great for outdoor meals and kids have room to roam and play. Our kids loved the bench swing! We’d stay here again.

Property was exactly what we needed for 4 adults. It was close to water on both sides. The picture on the front page was not what we had-there is no longer a deck or beach chairs, which would have been nice, though we didn't really need them as we brought our own chairs.Property was in ok shape.

There is a new larger tv in the main living area and two bedrooms have King beds with new super comfortable mattresses. The walk to the gulf side was super easy.
