First time to DI and a Month long visit
The property was fabulous! Very well-appointed kitchen and home with a beautiful interior, lots of windows and doors for sunshine, hearing the ocean and feeling the breeze. Great proximity to the ocean and beach. Quiet neighbors. Great location for waking or biking to the West End beach.

Excellent vacation home
The house is well suited for two couples (with a couple of young kids) or an entire family. Kitchen has plenty of pots/pans, utensils, plates, glasses, toasters and so on. Photos represent the property accurately. We’d encourage visitors to walk about a mile west and explore the undeveloped end of the island. Likewise, check out the bird sanctuary. The ferry to Gulf Shores area is fun.

Dauphiin island getaway
We were very pleased with our visit to Dauphin Island and the property that we had rented. When we arrived, there was a little problem with the house we had originally rented. The owner resolve the problem quickly by offering us the property next door which was larger and right on the beach.

Nothing short of amazing
The house is absolutely beautiful. Right on the beach. Loved the huge porch and the bright and beautiful open concept of the house. We spent a good amount of time on the beach and playing in the gulf. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Every morning we got to wake up seeing dolphins, having our morning coffee-which was amazing. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We did have to leave one day early due to hurricane Helene, but that couldn't be helped. Dauphin island itself is a beautiful place. We would definitely love to come back

Everything about this house is comfortable and inviting! We loved the wrap around deck and enjoyed all sides as well as the variety of patio furniture! The view is a little obstructed but it’s only a few steps to the water so we did not mind at all! This place is perfect and can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen West

Host profile image
We are a fun loving family of 5. My husband (C.O.) and I (Kristen) are the proud parents of three girls. We live in Missouri and are excited to get to spend time in Dauphin Island at our home away from home and to share this home with others. We enjoy all of the activities that the Island has to offer and feel blessed knowing our girls will grow up in such a great environment on the Island making priceless memories.
Dream Big LLC purchased this house in 2017

Why they chose this property

This property is very special to us. My husband visited Dauphin Island when he was 16 and his family took a detour on their memorable trip to the Olympics in 1996. He knew then that he wanted to return to Dauphin Island and dreamed of owning a home there someday to share with his family. We think that you will find the house is uniquely situated on the Gulf with views of all the Island has to offer from the sunrise in the east, the Gulf to the south, the Sound to the North and the sunsets to the West.

What makes this property unique

Island Lure is located midway down the West End of the island and sits directly on the gulf side beach. It is a very short drive or bike ride to the far West End of the Island, which has lifeguards and various other attractions/vendors during the summer months. Additionally, it is only a short drive from the local grocery store, shops, restaurants, golf course, Estuarium and Fort Gaines on the East End of the Island. The house offers a wide variety of outdoor space to hang out and relax from a full sun porch on the south side of the house to the shade on the west side porch and all underneath the house. There are dual staircases allowing access to the beach from either side of the home. It has been professionally decorated to provide a laid back atmosphere for your stay so that you can rest, relax and recharge before heading back to reality.
