River House minutes to Dauphin Island. Perfect getaway for quiet peaceful rest

Short drive to Dauphin Island on the Gulf of Mexico. Come rest yourself with family in this lovely waterfront home. Secluded, private property with acreage for children to play and explore nature. Comfortable furnishings, screened porches to feel the soft breezes. Relaxing and peaceful. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A large screened area for relaxing, barbecuing, or playing ping pong. You can fish from the dock, or sunbathe while viewing the river. And yes, there are alligators in the river. While they are rarely seen, the gators are there and usually as afraid of humans and we are of them.
While staying in this lovely home surrounded by lots of trees and water, there will be squirrels, deer, raccoons, birds, frogs and verbal insects (cicadas) to notice during your tranquil time here.
Dauphin Island is about 15 minutes away. You can also visit the Historic Fort Gaines, the Sea Lab and Estuarium (with some hands on attractions that will fascinate the kids). Lots of restaurants, and the freshest seafood is right next door.
The historical Bellingrath Gardens (10 minute drive) with its beautiful blooms all year is a sight to see. Takes about 30 minutes to get to Mobile with all the attractions there.

Please review the house rules prior to booking. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kate at 251-802-7837
We'd love to have you visit.

Birthday weekend

We were here for a peaceful birthday weekend and this was just the place!! Coffee in the morning on the screened in porch was amazing, and the walk down to the dock, we could have spent the whole day there just watching the wildlife. We went to the Bellengrath gardens for the Chinese lantern fest and it was lovely. Restaurants were crowded so we BBQ ‘d at the house was perfect sitting under the house and still able to visit while cooking. Great place!!

Wonderful getaway

The home was just what we needed. Plenty of room for the entire family. The kids really enjoyed fishing from the pier. We really enjoyed the time together sitting inside the screened porches. Great place with plenty of room to roam!

Perfect Tranquility

We love privacy and nature. This river house met and exceeded expectations. At the end of a long driveway, it provided the privacy we like. Overlooking the marsh and river, I identified 21 bird species in about 90 minutes one morning. While remote, there is nearby access to a Fowl River boat ramp, a beachfront at Mobile Bay park, and Dauphin Island. Property was clean. Easy to communicate with owner.

Beautiful location and home

This house and property was great for two families with kids. Lots of room inside and out, and the ping pong table downstairs was a hit. Host was very friendly and thoughtful, checking in with us before and during our stay. We will definitely suggest this house to others.

Perfect off-island spot for Dauphin trip

The house was very clean and provided everything we needed for a weeks stay. The location was perfect - less expensive than staying right on Dauphin Island but about as close as you can get with a Dollar General right down the road for last minute needs. The ping pong table was an added bonus for the kids. Would definitely stay here again! Very private.

I loved being able to watch the sunsets on the back screened in porch, and the sunrises on the front porch with a cup of coffee. The property is beautiful and so is the house. Definitely a great place to unwind and disconnect. And only being 10 to 15 mins away from the island, theres so much to do. My family had a great stay, and are already looking to book again.

Such a beautiful home and property. We loved this home and the peaceful location. The covered porch areas were so enjoyable and the kids had fun on the swing, playing ping pong and fishing down at the pier. Evening sunsets were so beautiful!
