Description
Bridgeview Cottage is a 3/2 right on the canal on the west end of Dauphin Island. You have spectacular views of the sound. Sit back and watch the birds and the boaters come and go. You are also walking distance to the beach (5 minutes to the bay side and 6 minutes to the ocean side).
The cottage is a classic beach house built in 1984. It has great furnishings throughout, a new deck to enjoy and a bulkhead boardwalk along the canal. Bring your crab traps, bring your boat, kayak and/or fishing gear. You can enjoy the water in the canal and also the convenience of everything else the island has to offer. There is an undeveloped barrier strip of land to the Northeast that will harbor wildlife and you are a quick paddle to Graveline Bay and beyond.
Stairs to upstairs bedrooms are steeper than normal and may not be suitable for young children, elderly, or those with mobility problems.
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!

Amazing
Casey C. says
It was great!
Amanda A. says
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was very clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for cooking. Our host was easy to contact and had good communication. We enjoyed the comfortable seating on the porch and the lovely view of the sound. We visited the oceanside beach that is close to the cottage, and it is within walking distance. Dauphin Island is absolutely beautiful!
Erica J. says
A beautiful house in a beautiful spot. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
Tony R. says

Misty K. says
We loved our stay on Dauphin Island!!! Highly recommend!!
Dawn W. says
We liked all the little extras, such as phonograph with records, lots of games. The decor was beautiful and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the deck furniture, comfy and plentiful. We would recommend.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re glad you enjoyed the thoughtful extras like the phonograph and games, as well as the beautiful, relaxing decor. It’s great to hear the deck furniture was comfortable and plentiful. We appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime!
Blake M. says
Exactly what we needed for a vacation! 10/10! Would stay here again when we come back to Dauphin Island!
Brandon G. says
Everything we needed for a beach getaway. House was comfortable and clean.
Carrie-Anne W. says
LOVED our peaceful, beautiful stay!!! Gorgeous view from breezy covered porch with lots of seating & dining. Just below we fished & sunbathed right from the dock! Lots of fluffy quality seating in spacious LR & a huge party dining table. Kitchen had every appliance & utensil you could want but do bring own seasonings & foil/plastic wrap/bags. It is SUCH a quick & easy stroll to BOTH the beach & the bay! Both were practically EMPTY every time we went!!! AMAZING! We were worried about upstairs temp based on prior reviews but management assured us it was repaired. It was 90 degrees during our stay & our daughters said the temps upstairs were good the whole time. We all appreciated the games & books available, outside hoses & fish station, easy bike & golf cart rental, all-over cleanliness, & the cottage charm. The island offers just enough to provide entertainment without the crowds & traffic! Obsessed! Feels like an old-school, unspoiled, peaceful beach AND bay vacay. 10/10

We had a great stay! Coming from Destin, we wanted to get away and relax and surprise the kids with a trip and celebrate my wife’s birthday. The only 2 issues we really had was the AC did not work upstairs and they had 2 fans in each bedroom upstairs. It would have been helpful to know that. Downstairs it worked just fine. The other issue we had was the microwave. It would turn on but I did not cook anything we put on it. All in all, we did have a wonderful stay and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really happy to hear you and your family had a wonderful stay and that you were able to relax, celebrate your wife’s birthday, and enjoy a special surprise trip for the kids.
We also appreciate you letting us know about the AC issue upstairs and the microwave. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this caused during your stay, and we understand how important those comforts are while traveling. We’ll make sure both items are reviewed by our maintenance team right away, and we also appreciate your feedback about communication so future guests have clearer expectations.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind words. We’re so glad you still had a great time overall, and we’d love to host you again in the future!

Our first visit to Dauphin Island was memorable, and our stay at Bridgeview Cottage was comfortable. The beach house had ample space for our family of two adults and four teens. The girls enjoyed their private second-floor loft, and the master bedroom had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in while on vacation. The well-equipped kitchen and spacious living room made our stay even more enjoyable. We appreciated the long dining table for meals and games. The walk to the beach took about 6 minutes which was manageable, and being able to fish off the house dock was convenient and fun! Our only concern was the warm temperature upstairs, which made sleeping difficult. We contacted DIBR, and they promptly responded, sending someone to inspect the AC unit. We were told the unit was functioning properly, but the house required two units for adequate cooling. The air vents were adjusted to improve airflow, making it easier for the girls to sleep. Overall, we found our stay to be pleasant.
Emily M. says
We truly enjoyed our stay here, the place was so cute and very clean. Our family had the best time!! Would definitely stay here again.
Donald L. says
Place was great. Beware the prickly stickers that grow all over in the sand in this neighborhood.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and thought the property was a great fit.
We also appreciate the heads-up about the prickly stickers in the sand. We know those little surprises are never fun when you’re trying to enjoy the beach, and we’ll keep your feedback in mind when advising future guests.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Dauphin Island soon!
William E. says
Best stocked kitchen yet.
Stephanie G. says
We loved our stay here! Just as described, open floorplan that was great for a vacation home. Beautiful views from the balcony and lots of seating outside so we could enjoy our time relaxing.
Easy walk to the beach or the bay side of the island. Great location!
Adam G. says
Great relaxing vacation and a short walk to the beach.
