About this property

SunChaser - Waterfront - Unbelievable Sunset View

SunChaser is the best of both worlds: A short walk to the Gulf of Mexico Beach and the Mississippi Sound right in front of the house! And even better….the Views are Incredible. There are no houses between you and the Mississippi Sound. A short bulkhead protects the canal, the dock and your boat! The combination of an unobstructed view and protected water for your boat and swimming is rare on the island! There is also a beach just across the canal on the Sound for your enjoyment.
The house is 1300 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The open floor plan allows you to watch all the action from the den as well as the kitchen. There are lots of windows bringing in natural light. The master bedroom has a queen bed. The 2nd bedroom also has a queen bed and the 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed that includes a full size lower bunk, a twin upper bunk and a twin trundle bed. The den also has a sleeper sofa. A new 55" TV is located in main room and can be seen from the kitchen. Another smaller TV is provided in a bedroom. A DVD player is also available.
The picnic table under the house is great for eating outside in the shade. There are 2 adult kayaks and 2 youth kayaks for exploring the canals, bays and the Mississippi Sound. The dock has a swim ladder for easy access to lounge and play in the water. An outside shower is there for you to rinse(or bathe) when you come out of the water and get home from the beach. The sandy yard with a wooden boardwalk is ideal for kids to play with their beach toys and sunbathers to soak in the sun. Other amenities include a charcoal grill, free wifi, national channels NBC, CBS, ABC and a multitude of others. Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ are also available. There is a large pantry for all your groceries.
For the FISHERMAN: There is enough waterfront to dock two boats. The canal is deep enough for even the larger boats to access. The house is only minutes from the nearest boat ramp and the Dauphin Island Marina. A quick run to the West will place you near Katrina Cut and the West uninhabited end of Dauphin Island. A quick run to the East will place you in Mobile Bay/Gulf of Mexico. There is a large, covered fish cleaning station so that you don’t bake in the sun while cleaning your catch for the day.
The 12 X 30 foot deck extends from the main room. The deck is close enough to the water so you can keep an eye on your swimmers. There is a gate on the deck stairs to ensure little ones don’t make a fast break for the steps and the water. The sunsets on Dauphin Island are amazing and the view from SunChaser is unobstructed beauty! Sit high in the queen chairs, enjoy your favorite beverage and soak in the view.
The Mississippi Sound is a wonderful place, perfect for kayaking, fishing from the dock, watching dolphins play and watching pelicans dive for fish. The Gulf-side beach is less than 3 blocks. The gulf beach near our house is only available to residents so there is always plenty of space for everyone. At night, take the kids, flashlights, nets and buckets and “hunt” for sand crabs or go “floundering” in the Sound for blue crabs and flounder right in front of your house.
Dauphin Island is packed with activities. Visit the Alabama Aquarium and observe up-close a wide variety of live sea creatures. Visit historic Fort Gaines that dates back to the early 1800's. Visit the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Dauphin Island is part of the natural migration of hundreds of species of birds. Visit the Isle Dauphine Club swimming pool, golf course and tennis courts. Rent a pontoon boat and explore the waters for the day. Rent a golf cart for the day or for the week. The Island is golf cart friendly and you'll see them everywhere. Rent bicycles and bike the entire length of the island (7.5 miles of bike paths). Take the Mobile Ferry across the Bay and enjoy Fort Morgan on the other side. Drive your boat across the Bay and dock at Tacky’s Jacks for wonderful seafood. Eat at a multitude of great restaurants on the island. Enjoy ice cream or a snow cone at Island Rainbow. Pick up fresh seafood at Skinners Seafood Market and bring it home to cook or ask them to steam it for you. Enjoy fresh pastries from the Lighthouse Bakery. Play putt-putt with your kids. Charter a fishing boat to take in a wonderful day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. And once you’ve done all that… come home and enjoy the Sunset !!! We look forward to seeing you soon !!!

Hidden Gem

This rental home was perfect for our family spring break! The only reason to leave the house was to restock the fridge. From the patio we watched dolphins swim, and otter play, and so so many birds. We successfully caught blue crab from the traps and caught fish to feed the awaiting heron. The sunsets were stunning. We had everything we needed at the house. The ample beach toys and kayaks brought hours of entertainment and that little beach was my absolute favorite. I would recommend this rental for anyone who wants to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The owners were very responsive and kind. I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing spot!

We had such a great time on Dauphin Island! Plenty to do for kids and adults alike, and also the perfect place to just “do nothing” but go to the beach just a short walk (or golf cart ride if you rent one!) away. The house is in a great spot - a quiet and peaceful street - and the views at sunrise and especially sunset cannot be beat. My kids loved fishing from the dock and playing in the sand during our down time. Sunchaser is incredibly clean and nice! A great spring break trip for us all - kids age 7, 9, and 12, and the adults as well! We will be back!

Great vacation for our family & friends!

We had a wonderful stay at Sunchaser. Location was great to dock a boat and catch all the bait fish you need. We used the kayaks to go back and forth between the house & small beach on the sound side which was perfect for the kids ages 3, 6 & 8. House was very nice and as described. Lynn was easy to communicate with and was so nice and helpful!

Dauphin Island

Absolutely lovely! The home was perfectly situated on a quiet street with views overlooking the canal and bay. Our coffee in the morning was enjoyed on the deck each day while we watched birds flying by. The beach on the gulf side was so easy to access from the house, only a short walk. We spent our lazy afternoons under the house in the shade and cooling off by jumping in the water for a swim. The beds were comfortable, the house immaculate, the kitchen had what we needed to make meals. We loved our stay and can't wait to get back!

Relaxing sunrise and sunset!

This home is set right in the middle of dauphin island. You can access the beaches easily! The home has a great kitchen and living area with plenty of space. The balcony is perfect for morning coffee and evening chats. The rooms were perfect and the a/c cooled amazingly! The kayaks were a nice activity, and so were the crab traps! I would recommend this home to families. We were there on the 4th of July and walked the 3 blocks to the beach to watch the show! Also, I should mention Lynn is a wonderful host and communicator, and made sure we were taken care of!

Peaceful getaway

This house was perfect for our family. We loved sitting out in the deck enjoying the view. We even spotted dolphin from the deck 2 different days! We spent most of our time between the East End and West End beaches. It was a nice surprise to find out that it is free to get into the public beaches this time if the year. The house was well equipped with 2 kayaks, crab pots, a couple of beach chairs, some sand toys and wake boards. We would definitely consider renting this house again in the future!

Good Bay Times

Sunchaser is a lovely home lo ated on a quiet and limited traffic street. The Mississippi Sound out front is marvelous and the views are spectacular. Access to the Gulf side of Dauphin is quick and easy and superb for long beach walk. We had a great time and were impressed with both the home and the owners who are quick to respond to all queries and needs.

Wonderful and relaxing!

Wonderful home! Loved the location (my husband and son loved fishing off the dock) and “hunting” for crabs. If you are looking for a place with McDonalds and Starbucks around the corner, this is not the place for you, there are a few restaurants and a gas station (and one small convenience store) but that’s about it- very residential and quiet (which is exactly what we wanted). The only thing to know about the home itself is there are stairs going up to the home (houses on Dauphin Island are up on stilts) so if you have any difficulty with stairs this might not be the home for you- otherwise book this home- it’s a great place! ((On another side note, get your groceries before getting to the island- limited and expensive options at the convenience store and bring garbage bags/toilet paper/paper towels) and grab some Gnat spray (blue bottle at Ship N Shore for $10.99- you won’t regret it!)

Great family trip

We found this home to be amazing. Loved the dock and water just a few steps away from the door. We had a family of eight and made so many memories. Loved cooking in the kitchen and having meals at home but also ate out a couple of times. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. If we could change one thing it would just be easier access to the water/beach that was across the bay (directly in front of our house). We had great fishing right off of our dock...husband and kids caught a variety of fish. We hope to come back to this house again!

The Sun chaser is the perfect place to sit on the dock of the bay.

Early morning rises to kayak the channel and watch some come up. The beach house was well equipped with everything we needed. Including crab trap, kayak’s. Best place to watch fireworks was on the upstairs balcony for two. Will come back to stay here again.

Beach get a way

Lynn and Jonathan were terrific to respond. We really only had one question when we were there. Jonathan came by to fix an electrical situation and shared some good information about the island and surrounding counties. The house is comfortable and right on the Mississippi sound. They had all the creature comforts needed for a great week of relaxing, cooking and just looking at the water. There are a lot places to relax; the living room with a big slider to look at the water, wonderful deck, and they have great area under the house and a dock to grill and chill. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone!

Great Location!

We loved our visit to Dauphin Island. Our family of 8 stayed 5 days. We enjoyed lots of fishing off the dock, the short walk to the Gulf, and the easy swimming and kayaking in the channel behind the house. The location of the house can't be beat. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the supplies you'll need to prepare meals at home, and has all of the amenities needed to be comfortable---wifi, washer and dryer, etc. The home may look small from the outside, but we had plenty of room for the 8 of us. We hope to come back in the future. The owner was quick to respond to questions and we had no problems during our stay.
