Shore Beats Work isn't your average home and you're about to learn why. This two-story retreat has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind, with a location near Indian Shell Mound Park and Audubon Bird Sanctuary.

The first level of the home is where you'll find the main living space along with a laundry room and all the bedrooms (four) and bathrooms (three). The living room's decor is simple, yet enchanting. It has light blue and white touches throughout, two recliners, a sofa, and a loveseat in front of a flatscreen Smart TV with cable. If you were planning on having a series marathon this is the place to be. The chef of the group won't believe it when they see the kitchen. It's spacious and fully equipped to make cooking a breeze. You'll have gorgeous granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, French door fridge, coffee maker, microwave, stove, oven, and more! It also features an island and a breakfast bar with two high stools. Right off the kitchen is the dining area with a gorgeous six-person dining table.

This level offers access to front and back decks, each one with its own charm. The front deck has a picnic table along with a handful of chairs and the back deck has a small dining area and overlooks the enclosed yard. Upstairs, you'll find a cozy family room with a c-shaped sofa, an armchair, a small desk, and a flatscreen Smart TV with cable.

Our entire month of February Stay

This has been our 7th year going to Dauphin Island staying in 7 different places. This house was roomy, clean and well set up for our stay. In fact, this place is the only place we have rebooked for the following year. Looking forward to our stay again at the "Shore Beats Work" in 2026.J & S from Minnesota

Poor Maintenance and Guest Services

dishwasher, garbage disposal and washing machine did not work. Had to look for the drain stopper for the kitchen sink so we could wash dishes. Finally found it in the cabinet above the kitchen. The air conditioner was leaking in the hall way, had the put a bowl down to catch water so we didn't slip and fall. Used the microwave and it caused the breaker to blow and the big bathroom lights wouldn't work. Finally found the breaker box to reset. All the lights on the steps do not work. This could be a real safety problem

Perfect vacation

This a a beautiful, clean, spacious house perfectly located within a 5 minute walk to the gulf beach. The property provided a nice, private stay in a residential neighborhood while being conveniently located near the shops and restaurants. We loved staying here and hopefully will be back!!

Beautiful home, close to beach

My daughter and I had a great time. We took our dog to the beach for the first time and he loved it. The fenced in part of the yard is not attached to the house. It was great to have though!

Great home for our group

This home was perfect for our group. The decor was beautiful and the kitchen was so well stocked. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The loft was perfect for the teenagers with their own TV and all of the games and puzzles. The screened in porch off of the back was a nice place to watch the lightening storm. Thank you for having us.

shore beats work beats anything!

We were here in March/April - weather cool enough for walkers and warm enough some days for beach fun. Every night was an extraordinary sunset and I actually managed to catch the sunrises a couple of mornings too. We fell in love with Daughin Island. The house was perfect for our family. Very large beautiful kitchen, fun beachy decor tastefully done. Our pups loved the backyard fenced-in area - what a treat that was, especially for a dog who just went swimming in the gulf. Location was excellent - a quick 6 minute walk to the beach for times when you weren't lugging a bunch of stuff. And the drive and park beach access was a 2 minute drive down the road. Puzzles, games, wifi ( a little on the slow side) and a wide front comfy porch on which to sit and relax . A really nice place to stay. The back porch is completely screened and was a nice spot to see the sunrise over the homes. Thank you so much for the hospitality this house provided to us.

Beach Getaway

Property clean and well maintained with a great kitchen. Fenced backyard for a dog. Sleeping arrangements were not exactly as advertised, but there was 4 separate bedrooms and a loft. It took a little bit of rearranging sleeping for kids, but otherwise it was great. Plenty of room to spread out. Lift was not operational which was disappointing and it was not made for people only luggage. That should be more clearly stated.

Nice

The house was beautiful. The island only has a few places to eat and a lot souvenir shops. We were glad that it had the fenced in yard but you do have to go out the front door and around the side to get to the yard but overall it was a beautiful house.

Great weekend getaway

Great property- booked with ease. House very clean. Kitchen was the most stocked we have had in a VRBO. Great selection of games for the kids. Do homework on beaches before you go- Dauphin Island limits via 4 public access beaches that are $10/day. Not advertised by the house, but we walked from the down Pushmataha Ct….5 min walk and very easy.

Nice house

This was a nice house and had good furnishings. Unfortunately the thermostat was a google nest and controlled by the owners. It would get extremely hot. The chocolate in the pantry was melted. The wifi was extremely slow and would not load google searches. If we could have been cool in the house and had wifi this would have been a 5 star.

Amazingly Comfortable Home!

My family stayed in this home towards the end of June 2022. The home was incredibly well-maintained, comfortable, and relaxing! The beach is very easy to access with just a few minutes walk (~3-5 minutes). The unit has an elevator, and that was helpful for some of my family members with mobility issues. Overall, we loved the place!

Great place just off the beach

Easy walk across the street and down to the beach. Just long enough for the sand to come off our feet on the way home. Lots of space in the house. Well appointed kitchen (really!!). The back yard is fenced for dogs if you bring them. (but you have to walk your dog down the stairs in the front of the house and around to the back to get to fenced in area.) I would absolutely go back and rent again if our travels take us to this area. The house was clean. Everything worked. The house is set up great for a family to come and everyone had room to relax. PS, the Kamado grill is fantastic!
