About this property

Gulf-Side Beach House, Sleeps 14, Gulf Views, Dauphin Island

Formerly known as The Key of Sea, this home is now upgraded with all the extras needed for a large extended family or group of friends. Enjoy the option to make a communal pot of coffee or a quick single K-cup, discover a high chair for the little ones, and marvel at the impressively-stocked kitchen! From an InstaPot to a Henckels knife set, this is truly a chef’s kitchen with all the tools required to cook for and feed a crowd. A portable laptop desk and high speed internet are also available so you can actually work remotely, a rare thing on Dauphin Island! The house comes equipped with smart TV’s in all bedrooms and an array of board games for the occasional rainy day. Generous accommodations include two gulf-side master suites (King, King), a third bedroom with two sets of Queen over Queen bunks, a fourth bedroom with two full beds, and a Pack-N-Play for a baby or toddler. The home is ideally suited for large families with a separate bathroom for each of the four bedrooms.
