Description
This gulf front beach house will give you the personal beach vacation that you are daydreaming about! The home has ample room and an open floor plan that is perfect for shared memories. The kitchen is well equipped and gives you what you need for your family vacation. You get an unobstructed view of the gulf, and the large rear deck will have you looking at the stars with the waves crashing below you.
This unit has a shared walkway, grilling area, outside shower and steps. Each unit has its own propane grill. No need to worry about privacy, there is a privacy panel in place, between the 2 gulf front decks.

Lisa M. says
Love the house and enjoyed the private of the beach
Shawna M. says
Absolutely loved the location of this beach home! Just as described, would highly recommend!! Loved being over the water.
Michelle R. says
Loved the Beach music rental. Loved staying right on the beach and over the water. Fishing right off the back deck, watching pelicans and dolphins in the gulf and simply walking downstairs to be on the sand we’re all wonderful. It was great to sit on the deck and watch our teens swim. This was a very relaxing location. We brought all our food with us, which was a good move.
Parking passes were easily picked up from the office on our way onto the island.
Shawn H. says
Only thing that could’ve made it better was better weather. Everything else was as expected
Danae O. says
The pictures say it all! With the base of the stilts in the surf at all times (and the tide coming all the way up to the first stair every morning, too), it sounds and feels more like being on a cruise ship than in a house. It actually made for excellent fishing off the back porch! The puzzle in the living room was the perfect way to spend the hottest hours of the day. We loved our stay and hope to return again. Plenty of privacy and a very relaxing way to spend our family vacation.
Melanie says
Where do you park?
April Harrell says
The parking for Beach Music is located on Shell Ct. There is parking for 2 cars. Any overflow parking will need to be parked at Green Park, which is located next to Ship and Shore.
Jennifer C. says
Great stay right on the water. We saw dolphins everyday and will definitely be back.
William W. says
Beautiful house on the gulf! Swimming and other water activities are just at the bottom of the stairs. One can fish off the deck, watch the pelicans and Dolphins and fish in the water. We are already planning our next beach vacation in the same spot.
Saundarya S. says
Great host! Peaceful and mesmerizing location. Worth every penny 💜
Erik D. says
The house had some minor issues, but it was nothing that bothered us. The location was amazing. We caught tons of fish and crab, and when it was time to swim, you just walked out the door right onto the beach.
We stayed in a much bigger and fancy house the last time we visited dauphin island, but we wouldn’t go back there over this place, just because of how awesome the location was. The house is literally in the ocean! It was a great vacation!
Kaitlyn B. says
I wish they gave you more than 1,000 characters! Absolutely loved our stay at Beach Music. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. The location was beautiful! We booked during “off season” so the rate was definitely worth the stay 🙂 there are some really good places to eat on the Island; our personal favorite was Pirates Bar & Grill. We also visited the Aquarium and Fort Gaines; both worth seeing! Also make sure to check out Skinner’s Seafood; we loaded up and took some back with us to MO. The customer service at Ship & Shore wasn’t the best but they have a lot of different items if you forgot any essentials. Make sure to check out the souvenir shop; The Sandbox! They have a lot of homemade beautiful decorations and the owner was very friendly.
My fav part of this location was being over the water; we enjoyed our morning caffeine watching dolphins and the seagulls/pelicans. Some paint needs some TLC but otherwise clean and nice! We will definitely book here again!
John S. says
It was truly amemorable stay, you were right over the water and we had some of the best coast fishing we’ve ever had.
Lauren P. says
A great place to vacation! We enjoyed our stay. It was nice to be able to fish off of the back porch and the beach access was amazing. Beds are adequately comfortable, but the bunk beds are incredibly squeaky. Otherwise, everything was nice and we would stay here again.
Jonathon B. says
Location can’t be beat. Catch fish from the back deck, and play at the beach right off the front steps. We thought we would spend more time at public beaches, but with this great of a location there is no need! Watch the sun rise, and set, while listening to the waves. We appreciated the outdoor hose and shower to remove sand on the way in. Good layout for a big or multiple families.
Like prior reviews state there is visible wear on furnishings, chipped paint, mix and matched kitchen equipment. Nothing that would prevent me from booking again.
Things to note: DI police department issued us a parking pass for all the public beaches for free. We just needed to present our rental agreement.
The house has what appear to be new propane grills, tank provided, not charcoal as stated.
David P. says
I read a lot of reviews before booking this. The concerns with the rental needing some TLC are valid. It was clean, but some of the appliances could be upgraded, and the place could use some fresh paint. Knives were mix-matched and not very sharp. Just keep some of that in mind to manage expectations. It is also a little walk from the parking to the place which makes unpacking/ packing a little bit of a chore- nothing you can really do about it, just part of it.
HOWEVER, the place is a 5 star in my book just based on location. You’re right on the beach. We fished off the deck. Walk downstairs and be on the beach. We watched dolphins in the morning and sunsets in the evening. Really a great location. I would not hesitate to come back.
Lisa Harper says
Is it possible to rent both sides of this duplex at the same time?
Adam says
Absolutely. You would just need to pick a week that “Rainbow’s End” is also available and book both properties.
Lisa M Potts says
I am wondering if this is available and what the policies are for rental.
My husband and I have 3 children and our friends 2 and are looking for a spring break getaway. Thank you for your time. Lisa
Adam says
It is currently available. Choose “Check Availability” and it will show all available dates. You can find a sample rental agreement here: https://www.dauphinislandbeachrentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Rental-Agreement.pdf
Thanks! DIBR
