Where the Trees Meet the Water "” A Rare Slice of Dauphin Island Paradise!
Tucked beneath a canopy of trees and resting peacefully on the shores of Bayou Heron and Graveline Bay, this is one of those rare homes that just feels right. There's something about the way the breeze rustles the leaves, how the light dances on the water, and how the world seems to slow down the moment you step onto the porch.
This is a special stretch of Dauphin Island "” one of the few places where you can enjoy both shade and shoreline. Mornings start with coffee on the porch and the sound of birds in the trees. Afternoons are often spent with a rod in hand "” this dock is a prime fishing spot, where you can pull in speckled trout, flounder, and redfish without ever leaving home. When you're ready to head offshore, the open waters of the Gulf are right there, offering access to red snapper, yellowfin tuna, and unforgettable deep-sea days.
The home itself is as easygoing and welcoming as the island around it. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a decorative tile backsplash that gives the space personality without overcomplicating it. The main living area opens to wide water views, and both the primary suite and a second ensuite bedroom share that same peaceful vista. A third bedroom "” a spacious bunk room "” is ideal for kids or guests, with a full bath just across the hall that also serves as the guest bath.
Downstairs, a shaded patio space with a porch swing and picnic table creates a casual, open-air hangout perfect for relaxing after a long day on the water.
Beyond the home, life on Dauphin Island has its own rhythm. Locals and visitors alike cruise the quiet streets by golf cart. Sugar-white beaches stretch out along the Gulf. A scenic fitness trail winds through parts of the island "” shaded in places, beachside in others "” offering a beautiful route whether you're walking, running, or biking. The Island is known for its seasonal art shows, is a nationally recognized birding destination, and has long been a favorite for both inshore and offshore anglers.
And while you feel a world away here, getting here is surprisingly easy. Just 40 minutes north, Mobile connects you to both I-10 and I-65. Head west on I-10 and you're on your way to New Orleans and Biloxi; go east and you'll find Pensacola and the Florida Gulf Coast. I-65 stretches north through Montgomery, Nashville, Louisville, and Indianapolis "” all the way to Chicago. Dauphin Island may feel like a hidden escape, but it's perfectly placed on the northern Gulf Coast.
The home is currently part of a vacation rental program, making it a smart investment as well as a personal retreat. Whether you're looking for a quiet home base, a family getaway, or a turnkey rental in one of the island's most scenic and fish-filled locations "” you'll find it here, where the trees meet the water, and every day holds the promise of a perfect catch.
Per seller: remodeled baths and kitchen, new water heater, new HVAC, replumbed & rewired house and new Fortified metal roof - all in 2022 and rebuilt dock in 2023.
