Indulge in panoramic views of Indian Bay and embrace the island lifestyle at Bay Dream Believer, a centrally located haven that offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for any getaway.

This spacious duplex is thoughtfully designed to accommodate two families or a large group, featuring six bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two fully equipped kitchens. Begin your mornings with a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the wrap-around porch as you soak in the salty breeze, or take the provided canoe out for a peaceful paddle across the bay. After exploring all Dauphin Island has to offer, unwind in one of two comfortable living areas, each equipped with ample seating and a flatscreen TV.

Nestled on the serene waters of Indian Bay, this home is conveniently located just half a mile from Dauphin Island’s vibrant main strip, making dining, shopping, and attractions easily accessible. Spend sunny days at Dauphin Beach, just two miles south, schedule a fishing charter for an exciting adventure, or visit The Estuarium at Dauphin Island Sea Lab. For a touch of history, take the ferry to Fort Morgan and immerse yourself in its storied past.

With pet-friendly accommodations available for a small nightly fee, this property can also be rented as two separate units, Bay Side Believer and Bay Dream Bliss, for added flexibility.

Location Love!

Great location near family relatives. Easy access, convenient. Poorly maintained. NO (working) LIGHTS underneath house at night. Very dark to see. Washer/dryer in dark downstairs wet, nasty utility closet. Kitchen very ill equipped. One side has a dishwasher. One side does not. One side had 2 coffeemakers but only one pot. Rental agency brought one over. Floors were very dirty and need a good cleaning! Kitchen totally unorganized - no mixing bowls, baking sheets/pans, - could be MUCH better with a good cleaning!! Nice TV's but need to attach remote to each TV. Found 4 remotes on one side and none on the other. PROVIDE TV instructions. Charcoal grill available... We enjoyed playing games around the large dining tables.

Nice

PROS Vacation Pros - Right on water - Dock - Duplex nice for privacy for kids - Nice underneath to play corn hole and other games - Close to a few restaurants and small grocery - Ability to rent golf cart - Nice canoe and some rafts - Washer/Dryer in storage unit below - Super nice neighbors (let us borrow some things) - Bellingrath Gardens/Home close by - Nice vanities in each bedroom - Close to Ft Gaines and Aquarium Cons - kitchen totally unorganized. It’d be nice if there was some type of inventory or labeling inside cabinets. They want you to keep things separated bt 2 sides of duplex but very difficult with 11 people going back and forth and trying to have dinners together - decor very outdated except for tv - Should have ladder for dock - No communication with owner, tried texting thru Vrbo and Vacasa with no response - Life jackets should be available for canoe - No beach towels or chairs - Outdoor shower is just a hose -

Great for 2 families to vacation together.

This place has a great location for walking, biking , or scootering to many places on the island- sea lab, ferry , fort Gaines, bird sanctuary, beach, and playground. It is a great place to share with another family. It has a door between two sides allowing you to have your own space but be close as well.

Great vacation

Good location, well stocked, plenty of space (we had both sides), responsive host, enjoyed the island. Nice deck for morning coffee, watching birds and even saw dolphins swim by. A few minor housekeeping issues which did not spoil our stay. Would definitely return for another island vacation.

Family Fun on the Water

Both sides of the duplex were comfortable and easy for our family! We loved having plenty of towels. The kitchens were easy to navigate. Only down side was the stairs were steep for grandma but she did it! We also really appreciated the lights in the carport!
