Private Heated Pool, walkout on the beach! - Island Star

Come see Island Star! This large 5 bedroom gulf view beach house is a marquee property. New private, heated pool! Several major renovations through 2020 have created a giant warm beach house experience. Walk into the sight of a cathedral ceiling living room with warm light from the gulf sky via gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows on a 2-story wall. Bring family, friends, and man's best friend to this open floor plan with super convenient beach access. Descend either of the rear deck staircases, and a short walk puts you at the Gulf of Mexico. The master bedroom enjoys loft light through frosted windows facing the living room gulf view windows. Two large 1st-floor bedrooms enjoying gulf views and 2 bunk rooms for all the kids. Enjoy the large rear deck and let the sunset on your day with a drink in hand, the sites and sounds of salty waves, and the smell of grilled food.

Great place

This home was very clean and located right on the beach. The home was unlike other vacation homes in that it had plenty of accommodations like towels, dishes, tolietry supplies, laundry/dish supplies, and even seasonings/coffee. Would 10 out of 10 recommend this property!

Relaxing Getaway

The accommodations were great for three adult couples plus a single. The 3 Master Bedrooms each have a king bed and their own bathroom. In fact all 5 rooms have their own bathroom. The heated pool was a hit and this is where we spent our afternoons. In the evenings, we watched the beautiful sunsets from the beach, just steps away from the house. October was a great time to be there. The weather was great and there were no crowds. I would recommend this house.

The house is absolutely spectacular. But more importantly, the management company bends over backwards to make sure you have the best time at Dauphin Island. We loved everything about it. We could be on our own or we could be a family. Some stayed inside and read and watched TV, others went to the beach, which was only a few steps away, and others spent the day in the swimming pool. I highly recommend not only this house, but especially the management company. They are beyond belief efficient, personable, and just all around great people to deal with. We have already booked for next year and can hardly wait.

Great Beach House for family

This house was perfect for our family vacation. With 5 bedrooms & baths everyone had their own room & bathroom. The views from the deck were beautiful . The kitchen was fully stocked except for a blender but that wasn’t a big deal . Close enough to west end beach to walk. Felt secluded & non-touristy which is what we wanted. You do have to carry everything up 2 flights of stairs to get it inside but luckily we have younger grown up kids to help with that. Would stay here again.

We had a great time. The house was very spacious and nice. Loved the easy access to the beach! Plenty seating at the table and sofa for my whole family. A few minor things that I want to mention, Dead roaches on countertop and bathrooms. While i understand a lot of people fish there, the refrigerator and freezer smelled very fishy. We bought baking soda boxes and cleaning supplies. but not much help.All in all we had a fantastic time and would definitely stay again.

Great get away, great house and location

Dauphin Island is like going back in time to a simpler beachfront with sea shells washing ashore. The house is beautifully laid out and decorated. The pool could be warmer for winter months, but the deck is a great place to hear the waves and watch the sunset. Kitchen is furnished well, and living area is comfortable and roomy.

Stay on the sand

This home was everything we expected and more! First, it was so clean, especially for a dog friendly property. It accommodated our large group so well, we loved the huge table for dinners and games and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location was quiet and the beach was practically private as you were on the West End of the island. We loved the bike lane outside and easy access to the beach. The pool was a huge hit for our kids and was shaded in the afternoons so it provided a good break from beach time. We would absolutely rent this property again!
