Surrounded by Beaches-Bay or Gulf Side. 5 Bedroom, 3 Baths, A Lot of Deck Space!

Looking for a quiet and family friendly beach vacation rental?

Look no further! SURVIVOR HAS IT ALL!!!!

“Survivor” appropriately named for its ability to withstand a devastating hurricane has all the comforts of home and more! With five bedrooms and three baths this luxurious beach retreat easily sleeps 14 in its 2,880 ft. of living space! Survivor is perfect for a quiet family vacation, multi-family trips, and even has enough room for the in-laws! Survivor boasts a GREAT kitchen, plenty of space to relax, 2,000 ft. of enormous deck space, beautiful sunsets, and a large beach to enjoy!

Survivor is located directly ON THE WATER! The calm and relaxing Mississippi Sound is only footsteps away from the back of the house and the more active Gulf of Mexico just several hundred feet from the front of the house. You really get the best of both worlds with Survivor! Most prefer the backyard beach with its white sandy beaches, calm, cool, and shallow waters! It’s perfect for families with kids and is ideal for swimming and relaxing without having to worry about strong currents, waves, or rip tides. There is a small wetland pond occasionally refreshed by the high tides ideal for catching bait! You can even beach a small boat or Jet Ski right in your own back yard! However if you are in the mood for more active water simply walk across the street to the Gulf side and boogie board, skim board, or body surf in the Gulf of Mexico’s mighty waves!

Survivor features a spacious living room with 12’ ceilings, flat screen TV's, DVD's, surround sound, stereo system, and gas fireplace serves as the perfect place to entertain large crowds, view the remarkable sunset, or simply relax with the family. Finding somewhere to sit and eat won’t be a problem in Survivor, there is a custom built dining table that seats ten and bar seats four! Renters love the kitchen! Our fully loaded kitchen houses coffee maker, toaster, blender, microwave, oven, flat surface stove, assorted pots and pans, silver wear, walk in pantry, dishwasher, plates, cups, and many more!

Five spacious bedrooms serve as the perfect place to for crash for the night and lounge about in the morning. Upstairs bedrooms are equipped with deluxe bedding, large walk in closets, TV, and plenty of space to blow up an airbed or set up a cot! The two master bedrooms have access to the upper deck perfect for watching the sunrise or set. Each upstairs bath has its own coffee maker, no need to worry about waking up anyone downstairs!!! Jack and Jill bathrooms connect the four bedrooms upstairs, with an exquisite inside Jacuzzi on one side!

2,000 sq. ft. of deck space encompasses the back of the house. The decks are partially shaded for relaxing and lounging and the other part is ideal for sunning, viewing sunsets, grilling out, and tanning. Partially shaded deck features a large outside dining table perfect for eating dinner outside. Back decks feature lounge chairs, and charcoal and gas grills!

Downstairs features a storage room perfect for storing sand toys and beach chairs, umbrellas, and ice chests. Ice machine located in the storage room, along hammock, and assorted beach toys! Outdoor shower located underneath the house ideal for washing off sandy feet! Boardwalk leads from outdoor shower to back stairs. Comfy wood swing is also located downstairs! Parking for cars under the shade of the house.

Beautiful Bayside Getaway!!

We had a wonderful family vacation at this property. Plenty of room, great communication with the hostand the listing was very accurate! Bonuses were the ice machine downstairs, a storage room filled with beach stuff, wagon, and everything you need and we lived being able to walk out to the bay and play all day! We will definitely look to book again in the future!

Great property!

Our party, which included three couples, thoroughly enjoyed this house! The beds are super comfortable and the bedrooms are roomy and the living room and kitchen areas are also roomy and welcoming. And best of all this house has a huge and well-appointed deck that looks out on the bay--great places for morning coffee and for afternoon happy hours.

We loved our stay at Survivor this past week! The house was in a great location, not far from the beach. The house was spacious and comfortable. The furnishings could be updated, but overall a great week!

Good Vacation House on Dauphin Island

My family and I enjoyed our stay on Dauphin Island. This house is a good size, and the beach is quite pleasant. The jacuzzi tub is nice as is the egg ceramic grill. The hosts are sweet and easy to work with. Be sure to bring your own laundry detergent and dish soap. Also, note that the docks belong to neighbors. And we recommend bug spray for the determined mosquitos!

Best stay

We stayed from June 24-July 8th. The house was perfect. The bay behind the house was absolutely perfect. Very short walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy some family time. Ed and Carol were very responsive and cooperative. Quick to respond with any questions we had.

Great Weekend

The weekend was awesome and the house accommodating for our group. It could have been a little cleaner when we arrived - there was a large group there before us and we found food under furniture, but nothing we couldn't take care of! The views were wonderful and although we had a storm that rocked the house at 3:00 AM, we were safe and snug inside! Thanks to our hosts for allowing us to check in early and enjoy your beautiful home!

Perfect House for our family

We loved our stay at the Survivor! The house was perfect for our family of 13! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. for preparing big meals. The shallow water on the sound was great for swimming, floating, and paddle boarding. The Gulf of Mexico was just a short walk away. All the provided beach toys, floats, and beach wagon came in handy. The ice machine was an added bonus. Loved watching the sunrise & sunset from the deck. We hope to come back again.

Family Beach Vacation

We had a great time during our stay at this property. The bedroom set up is spacious and worked well for us, along with the large dining room table which hosted may laughs! The location on the Sounds Side was perfect for our family with 2 younger children. Location is great for also walking a short distance to access the gulf side of the island. The beach toys and umbrella were a fantastic and appreciated extra! We had a really wonderful stay and made a lifetime of memories for my family. Thank you!

Great Family Beach Vacation

The house was perfect for our 12 family members. Lots of room to spread out and for kids to play, but private enough if you needed quiet time. The pace on the island was just what we were looking for in a beach getaway. The access to the calm waters of the sound was perfect for our little kids and the ocean was just a quick walk across the street for boogie boarding, shell hunting and night time fishing. Carol is a great host and was very attentive to any questions we had. We will definately book this house again!!!

Space for all

Our stay at Survivor was interrupted by a TERRIBLE storm. Lost electricity for 10 hours, but Carol and Ed checked on us continually, offering service of any kind we needed. The house has so much space that our family vacation of 6 adults and 1 infant had space to share and space to be alone. The sunset from the deck was beautiful. (and we got to watch dolphins play :) ) The proximity of the ocean (across the street) perfect.
