Coastal Escape -Dauphin Island Condos Near the Beach - Unit 4

Summary:

Stunning newly renovated condos nestled near the sand dunes, offering the perfect coastal retreat. Just steps away from Pirate’s, the island’s top-rated restaurant, and a short drive to the best beaches Dauphin Island has to offer. Come relax and enjoy our beautiful home by the sea!



The Space:

This property features four units, and this one is located downstairs. Each unit offers a private seating area with a grill, perfect for outdoor relaxation while enjoying stunning sand dune views. The nearest public beach access is just half a mile away, making it easy to enjoy the sun and surf!



Guest Access:

Complimentary laundry facilities are available in a separate building just behind the house.



The Neighborhood:

The 164-acre Audubon Bird Sanctuary is just down the road. The sanctuary is a well-known destination for birdwatchers in search of one of the hundreds of species that live in and migrate through the sanctuary year-round, such as herons and pelicans. Visitors can take a walking tour though the palmetto palms where they can experience the birds in the lush native flora and fauna of the island.



The Mobile Bay Ferry is located just a short drive away. The ferry, which departs every hour and a half during the day, transports passengers to the historic Fort Morgan located in Gulf Shores, Alabama.



Just past the ferry is a popular boat launch on the island, where anglers launch their boats sunrise to sundown. Boat trailer parking for the boat launch can be tricky, especially during summer months, so Alvarado’s close proximity to the launch makes it an ideal location for anglers because of the extended boat parking offered to guests. Each unit can accommodate one boat trailer in addition to their parking.



The Dauphin Island Estuarium, an aquarium that is home to more than 100 different species of native Alabama marine life, and the historic Fort Gaines, where you can find guided tours of the 1821 fort that protected Mobile Bay during the Civil War, are both located within one mile of the property as well. There are three public beaches on Dauphin Island — the East End Public Beach, Bienville Beach and the West End Public Beach.



With the almost dozen restaurants and snack bars on the island, there’s no shortage of local fare and fresh seafood. Almost every menu on the island serves up the freshest seafood in the South, including freshly caught snapper, grouper, oysters and crab. During the summer there are outdoor movies shown on the West End of the island, and the Dauphin Island Fishing Rodeo during July brings more than 75,000 spectators to the island for a weekend of fun and sports fishing.



Even though the island is small (it’s only 14 miles long and less than 2 miles wide or less, in some areas), it offers an endless amount of activities for vacationers, including an 18-hole golf course and endless water activities. Boat, jet ski, stand-up-paddleboard and kayak rentals are available, as well as sunset cruises and beach access to most of the 17 miles of powder, white sand beaches that wrap around the island. These offerings, in addition to deep-sea fishing and diving, make this Gulf Coast sanctuary one of the top destinations for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Gulf.



We hope you enjoy your stay and enjoy exploring the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast during your visit!



Getting Around:

Because of the ideal location of this property, guests can take a quick drive or easily bike or walk to nearby attractions and restaurants.
