What you will love about this home

PLEASE NOTE - we are a rental home in spring and summer and are usually not available for exchanges. Thanks!
Nestled in the heart of Dauphin Island, the home is located less than half of a mile from the public beach and golf course, and just down the street from the bike trail. The home also backs up to Salt Creek, a quiet creek which is great for birding, fishing, or kayaking from the backyard!

Furnished in the latest island style, this home features a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, and luxurious bathrooms, one with dual showerheads and another with a deep soaking tub. Three bedrooms have direct private bath access. Upstairs you will enjoy the home theater/gameroom with a mini pool table. This also serves as the 4th bedroom, with a full size Tuft and needle mattress. Two twin futons (best for kids) in the upstairs sitting area sleep 2 more, for a total of sleeping 9-10 in beds. We also provide a porta-crib.

The outside life is great on Dauphin Island, and you will enjoy the luxury of your own 12 x 20 fun pool (approx 4' deep), which is heated when needed ( usually Fall, Winter, Early Spring). Relax on the deck surrounding the pool, or in the shade of the many porches! Play ping pong table under the house! See the many birds who frequent Salt Creek in the backyard. A short walk around the corner leads to Salt Creek park for the kids and the Dauphin Island skate park. The public beach a short walk or even shorter drive away. Enjoy your own mini-estate getaway in the heart of Dauphin Island!
Also available year round as as vacation rental. We do not exchange March-August unless we have last minute availability.

$250.00 cleaning fee to be paid upon arrival.

What you will love about this neighborhood

Dauphin Island is a barrier island south of Mobile, AL. With a "laid-back" feel, you'll love the slow, low-traffic, beach lifestyle. There is a lot to do here, though! Our beaches are made of a beautiful, fine, white sand, and you'll be able to explore the area by chartering a fishing boat, scenic tour, or kayak. Fort Gaines is a historic Civil War fort on the East End of the Island, and the Dauphin Island Estuarium (aquarium) will help you learn all about the sea life in our area. Don't miss the touch tanks,. A bike path runs the length of the island, and you are welcome to use our bikes, which we provide as a courtesy (we'll leave you a pump, too, in case you need it!). The island has several restaurants, with our favorite being Lighthouse Bakery, which has the world's best cinnamon rolls! We also love pizza from Island Rainbow, and fresh shrimp from Skinner's Seafood. Dauphin Island is only about 30 minutes from I-10, making day trips to New Orleans, Gulfport, or Pensacola very easy. The beautiful city of Mobile is about 45 minutes from the island, and you'll enjoy the USS Alabama Battleship, historic mansions, delicious restaurants, and of course, shopping malls. See our Facebook page www.facebook.com/heronsnestcottage.
Our home is also a vacation rental so it is not available for exchanges during the summer months. We welcome no more than 10 guests for an exchange, no pets, no smoking. Cleaning fee of $250.00 for any accepted guest point exchange to be paid by VENMO prior to arrival.
