Amazing Home
This home is very well maintained and clean. This is the first place I didn't have to clean upon arrival. The owners definitely take pride in it. The kitchen is well stocked with nice pans, baking or cooking, utensils, toaster, coffee pot and some other stuff we didn't need to use. The drawers were neatly organized so it was easy to find things. There were plenty of towels as well. If you are staying for more than a week you'll need to do laundry of those. There was also soaps for laundry, hands & washing dishes. They made sure you had paper towels & toilet paper upon arrival. We felt very comfortable here, just like at home. This is one property I highly recommend! Definitely a 5 star! Best eating spot....Dinners Ready. This is a small place where 2 or 3 ladies make homemade meals daily for 2 people to take home and bake or microwave. We baked all the meals and they were all so yummy. In fact we froze and brought some back home with us...and they were still frozen in our cooler after a 15 hr day. We enjoyed the beach behind Ft Gaines, weather permitting. Ft Gaines is a must see. The ferry was fun to take over to Ft Morgan (unfortunately we did not see that), but able to check out Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Like always, it's always sad to see vacation end but we had a nice time. We love the coastal beaches on the Gulf!

Perfect seclusion!
Dauphin Island is amazing to begin with but this little home made it even better. First of all, the host has just about everything you would need already there: coffee, cooking supplies, linens, extra pillows, etc. Second, the location was quiet, secluded, yet close enough to the beach and water that you felt like you were right there. Lastly, the host was always quick to communicate before and during our stay. Highly recommend. If you are bringing a dog, keep in mind the floors are slippery for their little feet.

Home away from Home
This house was a great stay and more than what we could have asked for! Joe and Gina met us the day of check in and gave us a tour and overview of the home which was so nice and personal! The home has many amenities so you don't need to bring anything other than your personables! This home was in a quiet yet accessible location and just made us feel at home! It was really hot/humid the week we stayed and this home stayed nice and cool and never once we're we miserable inside! They are dog friendly as well and my dogs loved the space in the back yard to run and play! We will definitely be staying here again! If you want to be on the island but stay in a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle.....you have to check this out!

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Baldwin

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. I have been vacationing with my family on Dauphin Island since I was 5 years old. I currently live in Theodore, Alabama, about a 30 minute drive from DI. I have been a nurse for the last 37 years and an ultrasononographer for the last 14 years.

Why they chose this property

This house has been in our family since about 1955. It was built by my grandmother on 2 lots. The lots were purchased before the bridge was built and the house was built shortly after that. We have spent the last 1 1/2 years renovating it. We have put lots of tender loving care into its' revival and we love it.

What makes this property unique

This pretty little cottage is in a prime location for birdwatching. It is close to the center of town and a very cheerful home away from home. The house is at ground level and there are no steps to climb.
