About this property

Peaceful hideaway with modern interior & spacious balcony - adjacent to the dune

  • Summary:

    Driftwood Cottage



    The Space:

    Dauphin Island living is best enjoyed at Driftwood Cottage. Lined by trees and backed up by the dune, this peaceful landing pad is close to the island's beaches, restaurants, golf courses, and parks. When you aren't walking the sandy shoreline of Bienville Beach, simply sit and soak up the radiant weather from the balcony.



    Inside, the sun continues to flood in naturally. The living room's soft sofa and smart TV lend themselves to pleasant streaming sessions, whereas the updated kitchen makes cooking a breeze with its stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space.



    Coastal mementos and cool air adorn each of the bedrooms, ensuring a restful night's sleep each evening. A private washer/dryer and internet access tie together the stellar amenities.

Clean house with good location

Sunny, bright house is set back close to the dunes, providing a very secluded feel. Is walkable to the public beach.

Enjoyable Week

We spent a week birdwatching on Dauphine Island. It was wonderful to have such a comfortable home as home base after a long day of walking and hunting for bird sightings.

The property was beautiful and clean. There were board games for the kids. The kitchen was well provisioned. I will note that many of the windows do not have any window coverings (including the top floor bedroom). Keep this in mind if you don't like the sun waking you up in the morning. You do not have direct beach access across the dune, but there is public parking 2 minutes away by vehicle.

Cute Cabin Tucked Away

House was clean. Plenty of dishes/kitchenware. I enjoyed the colorful decor. Shared areas, kitchen and living room were not crowded. Loved the two porches. Not even 5 minutes from beach driving. Hit groceries and quick food needs before getting to the island.

The property was great. The only thing that I would say did not match the description was the walk to the beach. The description says a 1 minute walk and that is absolutely not true.

If it’s not raining

Our stay was for 9 days. The house was spotlessly clean.It’s very comfortable with many ammenities, especially in the kitchen. A drawback is that there’s no interior dining table. The outdoor picnic table is good, as long as it’s not raining. The kitchen counter indoors seats only 2, so that’s a drawback.There was a huge, violent storm our fourth night that knocked out power and internet to the entire island.Power was restored quickly, but we were without internet for 5 days, although friends who live in another area there got theirs back after 24 hours (they have Xfinity).Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would recommend this home to other visitors.

The unit was clean, well decorated and conveniently located. The only thing preventing a five-star rating is the condition of the mattress in the master bedroom. It was extremely uncomfortable and needs replacing.

If you’re expecting to walk out the back door and onto the beach, this area is restricted and does not have direct beach access. It is an excellent location on the island. Centrally located, easy to get in and out of. Cozy neighborhood feel and somewhat secluded at the same time. Excellent for a couple or small family getaway. Super clean and comfortable. I have had 2 stays at this house. It is almost like a second home. Easy to relax and unwind.
