Description
Welcome to Island Escape, a spacious Gulf-side retreat designed for unforgettable beach vacations. With five bedrooms, sweeping Gulf views, and a private pool, this coastal home offers plenty of room for families and groups to relax, gather, and enjoy Dauphin Island together. Multiple decks and a crow’s nest lookout provide incredible vantage points for watching the waves, catching the sunset, or simply soaking in the island breeze. Just steps from the sand, Island Escape delivers the kind of laid-back coastal experience guests return for year after year.
The main living area is bright and welcoming, filled with natural light from large windows and glass doors that open to the Gulf-facing decks. Hardwood flooring and coastal décor create a relaxed beach atmosphere, while comfortable seating centers around the living room fireplace and television for evening relaxation.
The open concept layout connects the living room, dining space, and kitchen, making it easy for everyone to gather together. The kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of workspace for preparing meals. The nearby dining area offers seating for group meals, while additional deck seating allows guests to enjoy dining with ocean breezes and views.
A dedicated laundry area with washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays, and thoughtful coastal décor throughout the home reinforces the laid back island setting.

Island Escape truly shines outdoors. Two Gulf facing decks offer outstanding views of the shoreline and provide the perfect place to relax with morning coffee or sunset drinks. For an even higher vantage point, climb to the crow’s nest, where panoramic views of the Gulf reward the short climb with some of the best sunrise and sunset views on the island.
Just steps away, guests can access the beach for swimming, shell collecting, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the waves.
A private pool offers another space for relaxation and fun between beach visits. Pool heating is available for $50 per day upon request, making cooler season stays more comfortable.
Pool Heating Note: Pool temperature can vary during cooler months, as the system relies on outdoor air temperatures. In colder conditions (around 50°F), heating may be less effective or temporarily unavailable (45°F and below), and it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature when weather allows.
Driveway parking ensures convenient and stress free arrival for your group.
Island Escape places guests near many of Dauphin Island’s favorite attractions. Spend the day exploring the historic Fort Gaines, discover marine life at the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, or enjoy birdwatching at the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Fresh Gulf seafood, casual waterfront restaurants, and bike friendly island roads make it easy to settle into the relaxed pace of island life.

Nicole W. says
The house was great!! We had a large group everyone was able to sleep comfortably and plenty of space to fan out. The house is directly on the beach so you have unlimited beach access. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. And the starter pack was a very nice touch. The staff were very nice, polite, and helpful. I just cannot say enough positives about this experience.
Chris B. says
Great house and location for a quick getaway from home
Mikael L. says
The house itself is getting a bit old , but is still pretty much confortable and corresponding to the description . No real issue there . The swimming pool/ jacuzzi is underrated and is really a must , and worth the price . We spent hours enjoying the outside laying in the heated water and looking at the sky and sea . Amazing .
Derek Bruner says
Loved the house
We rented the house for a week in mid March. First off, we loved the location. It would be tough to be much closer to the water.
The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the grill worked great.
We used the hot tub/ swim spa every day and loved it. The only downside was that it took 24 hours to get to temperature so we didn’t get to use it on day 1. One thing to note, when we came back from the beach we could leave shells/ beach toys/ flip flops etc outside the front door. With as windy as it was, the sand would blow into the hot tub from that spot.
We had a problem with the bed in the master bedroom as it looked like it had been broken for a while. We tried to fix it but it broke again. Texted DIBR and they had someone out the next morning to bring a new bed.
Overall, we loved this house and would not hesitate going back there again.
Scottie Mayfield says
I need to know where on the island this is located. Do you have a screen that shows it on a map?
Adam says
It is included in the listing. Click on “Map” to load the Google Map showing its location on the island.
Patti Moseley Preston says
Is this house on the bay? In one picture a yellow house is pictured. Is this the blue house?
Adam says
It is on the gulf beach side. The siding has been replaced and the house is now a beautiful blue. 🙂
Jennifer Ramirez says
The description of the listing says pet friendly and when filtering this home comes back as pet friendly, but the house rules say no pets. Can you confirm which is accurate?
Adam says
Yes, you’re correct. This home is no longer pet friendly. I apologize for any confusion.
Melissa Fynaardt says
Are all nights the same price or is it cheaper to stay during the week and leave on a Friday?
Looking for something in 2023, we need to save up some money first.
Thank you
Melissa Fynaardt
Becky Griffon says
THere are different prices for different nights. We have the availability posted a year out.
Sherry says
I’m confused by the pictures. Is the house directly on the gulf? Some pics makes it look like it’s got houses in front to deter from view.
Adam says
The pictures are accurate. There is a house SSE of it, the beach SW of it is open.
