About This Home

Tucked beneath the trees on beautiful Dauphin Island, this custom coastal bungalow offers the kind of life people dream about. Just minutes from sugar white beaches, world-class fishing, birding trails, and golf cart rides to sunset, this one-bedroom retreat blends island charm with upscale comfort. Several photos are virtually staged. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space with hardwood oak floors, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, and soaring vaulted ceilings that make the space feel bright, open, and inviting. A tall front door with beveled glass creates a striking first impression, while the stunning custom kitchen features sparkling white quartz countertops, a large island, farmhouse sink, soft-close drawers, stainless steel appliances, and gas range, creating a beautiful space for cooking, entertaining, or everyday living. A cleverly designed Murphy bed blends seamlessly into the living area as attractive shelving, offering added flexibility for guests. The spacious bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins, while the bathroom offers high ceilings that enhance the open, airy feel. Outside, enjoy a welcoming front porch, side deck, and fenced backyard with a durable rubber-coated chain link fence. The attached covered carport offers 14-foot clearance, ideal for storing a T-top boat. Built with low-maintenance fiber cement siding inside and out, this well-crafted island retreat also includes a storage building, durable metal roof, and tankless gas water heater. Though it feels tucked away from the rush of everyday life, Dauphin Island is surprisingly easy to reach. Located about 40 minutes south of Interstate 10 and Interstate 65, the drive is simple and direct once you leave the interstate. I-10 connects you easily to New Orleans, Biloxi, Mobile, and Pensacola, while I-65 provides a straight route north to Nashville, Louisville, and beyond. It’s a coastal escape that feels far away, without being far away at all. Several photos are virtually staged.
