Original owner, this house was built to step into a simple escape, a waterfront retreat, spectacular views of Dauphin Island Bay, and the wildlife on offer from the island. She calls it Peaceful Porches because it is a family retreat that is now available to you. The home is well laid out with the kitchen, dining, and living room all overlooking Dauphin Island Bay. The oversized king suite also walks right out onto a screened-in patio where you may want to enjoy your morning coffee. The boat dock is fully functional with power and water and available for use, however, the boat lift is not available for guest use. Bring your boat, your kayaks, crab traps, or fishing poles. Your adventure is conveniently out your back door. The public beach is also very close by, less than 2 miles from your driveway. As with all of our Dauphin Island Beach Rentals, all linens and towels are provided, WIFI, along with a fully-outfitted kitchen. There will be a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags; please plan on bringing more for day 2 ;). A great beach vacation is waiting on you! Please note the following: 1.
