About this property

Cottage in the Village

This cottage in the village is centrally located in the quaint town of Dauphin Island, Alabama’s beautiful barrier island situated just off the renowned Gulf Coast. This newly renovated home offers the perfect lodging for families, fishermen and snowbirds looking to unwind and enjoy miles of white sandy beaches, fresh Gulf Coast seafood and world-class deep sea fishing and diving

The Space:
In 2022, this island cottage underwent a complete renovation where it was was stripped down to its bones and redesigned with stylish finishes and décor that echo the natural elements of the island. The home was fully refinished with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful front and back porches, and a bright and airy bathroom with a custom bathtub and shower.

This cottage offer guests a spacious retreat to recharge at the end of a long day on the water. The master bedroom has a flat screen TV and king-sized bed, and the bunk room has large sets of bunk beds that offer a cozy space to retire in for the night.

In the morning have coffee on the front porch and in the afternoon grill out on your oversized back patio. There is no more peaceful location on the island than here at cottage in the village.

Comfy cottage

The Cottage in the Village was a very comfy and clean stay. The location was great for any place you go to, the beach, dinner or shops. The process of checking in and out was simple and great communication with the owner. I would recommend this property to anyone staying on the island.

Excellent mini vacation cottage

Wonderful cottage. Very comfortable with all your vacation needs. We enjoyed the location and the cleanliness of the cottage and being able to have our dog with us. We loved the location with short ride to public beaches. The porches were perfect quiet spots for morning coffee and afternoon reading. King bed is a bit too soft for us but still rested well. Communication could have been a bit faster but always professional and answered all our questions. We will stay here again!

Great Anniversary Get Away

It was great, very clean and organized. Had all the essentials for an enjoyable stay. Bed was a little soft for my liking but thats just personal preference. We're actually locals and just wanted to spend our 35th anniversary on the island. Glad we did, we had a great couple of days. Hope to do it again.

Work Stay

Me and my colleague stayed here because our other colleague who lives on island was just down the road. We were able to walk to the bakery for breakfast and to most of what we needed! It was clean and nice!

Great Get-away!

Our family of 5 plus our dog stayed comfortably at this cottage for 5 nights in March for spring break. We enjoyed walking to the popular breakfast place, tried all 3 public beaches, the aquarium and lots of hiking through bird sanctuaries. We used the main walking path in town for morning runs. The cottage was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Perfect quiet little getaway

We were getting some work done on our kitchen so we needed to get away with our kids and dogs. With it also being spring break, we chose Dauphin Island to avoid the college riffraff. We absolutely loved it! This little house was PERFECT for our needs. It was close to everything. The comfortable sofas and large tvs were perfect for when we needed to rest with our little after all the fun. The only things I will note which in no way are a reflection of the property itself is that the cleaning person was literally pulling out the driveway at 3pm when we arrived to check in. We drove around the block and when we got back, the floors were still wet from just being mopped. Also, the tub drain was completely clogged and barely drained. My husband took care of that. Overall I would still recommend this place. It fit my husband and I, our two little girls, and our two old labs perfectly!

A cozy retreat

The house was wonderfully cozy for the two of us. We spent most of our daylight hours outdoors and the house was a pleasant spot to end the day! Dauphin Island is a great bird watching location and the house is located within a very short walk to a premier birding hotspot. Many other birding hotspots were a short drive from the house. Everything on the island seemed to work well; ferry, parking and pleasant locals! Shopping is limited and groceries should be purchased before driving onto the island.

Perfect for Family of 4!

Perfectly updated little house for our family of 4! We honestly didn’t spend much time at the house with how beautiful the island is, but the time spent at the house couldn’t have been better. Comfy beds, huge TV’s, nice couches! Also centrally located so easy access to anything you want to do!

Adorable home- it had everything we needed.. Very comfortable and clean!

I highly recommend this property if you are considering a stay in Dauphin Island. Owners sent an e-mail with code to get in- and contact numbers should we need anything. There was a binder inside with lots of recommendations for dining and activities.. It was rainy and cool during our stay- so we didn't get to enjoy the nice outdoor porch...or the walking trails and bird sanctuary that was next to the property.
