Description
Welcome to Bleu Haus, a relaxed bayfront retreat designed for families and friends to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Dauphin Island. With peaceful bay views, inviting living spaces, and amenities built for both relaxation and adventure, this home creates the perfect setting for a memorable coastal getaway.
Step inside to a bright and welcoming open living area where the kitchen, dining space, and living room flow comfortably together. The cozy living room centers around a fireplace, creating a warm place to gather for movie nights, board games, or simply relaxing after a day on the water. Large windows frame beautiful bay views and bring in abundant natural light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere.
The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep space for family meals. Whether you’re preparing breakfast before a day of exploring or enjoying dinner together after sunset, the open layout keeps everyone connected.
Throughout the home, soft coastal tones of blues and whites paired with natural wood finishes reflect the surrounding waterfront setting and create a comfortable island atmosphere.

The upper balcony overlooks the bay, offering the perfect place to start your morning with coffee or end the day watching the sun reflect across the water. Keep an eye out for blue herons along the shoreline or dolphins occasionally passing through the bay.

Accessing the Gulf Beaches
While Bleu Haus sits along the peaceful bay side of Dauphin Island, the island’s beautiful Gulf beaches are only a short drive away. Guests can access the Gulf by visiting one of the four public beach areas on Dauphin Island.
Public beach parking is available for a daily fee. Once you pay for parking at one location, the pass is valid at all four public beach parking areas for the rest of the day, allowing you to explore different sections of the island’s shoreline without paying again.
This flexibility makes it easy to move between beaches to find the perfect spot for swimming, shell collecting, sunset views, or simply enjoying the wide open Gulf shoreline.

Amazing rental! The best ever!
The management company for this property is the best I’ve ever seen! They are very attentive and communicative! This property is gorgeous. They have really thought of everything we even met the owners and they were so nice and so conscientious of every detail and comfort. Our only complaint was the mosquitoes so bring your bug spray! We had a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation or rental! We have never seen a rental so clean and pristine. We enjoyed the different hangout spots both indoors and outdoors!
April Harrell says
Thank you so much for the glowing review of Bleu Haus and Dauphin Island Beach Rentals. The owners have meticulously outfitted Bleu Haus so their guests would be able to enjoy their stay with little to no worries. DIBR employees are always happy to help their guests have the best vacation imaginable. We hope to see you again soon!
Michael Miller says
Great place to stay
Our family had a wonderful time at Bleu Haus. The owners were there cleaning when we arrived. They have tried to provide everything you could need during your stay. They have bikes, kayaks, life jackets, corn hole, dart board, family games, beer fridge, pool, deck, porch, under house room with tv, shower, ceiling fan. Across the street from the bay with a beach area. Walking distance to a restaurant and just down the street from a convenience store. Everything you need is here.
April Harrell says

Excellent location! We didn’t see anywhere on the island that was a better option – private, shady, beach, pool – the Bleu Haus had it all.
Glen C. says
The bleu haus was a very nice rental and had all of the comforts. My wife is partially handicapped so if the outdoor elevator had been accessable for her would of been great. All in all it is a wonderful place with the gorgeous sunsets over the bay (WOW) and the island was very nice. Will definitely go back one day.
