Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Dauphin Island

We are really going to miss this quiet quaint little hideaway, Moonrise Cottage! It was a perfect place to bring the kids. We all had such a great time. It’s a place that allowed us to forget about our daily lives and responsibilities for a week and live in the moment together. We dont want to leave , lol. We will definitely be back!! ❤️ Our host Amanda was the sweetest. I got the opportunity to meet her in person and she is so down to earth and so kind. She shared with me some history of the cottage and area and it was soo interesting to learn about it. She was a great host!!

We discovered a hidden gem! What a delightful stay for everyone. There is a ramp on one side of the house that made bringing our luggage in a breeze. The view of the dunes and beach was nice each morning as we sat outside and sipped our coffee. There was even some wildlife to watch. Once at the beach, it couldn't get any better. Very few people, a gentle slope into the ocean and plenty of soft white gulf coast sand to put our chairs in! As mentioned by others, Heather is a very responsive host. Making sure each guest has what they may need. The layout of the house made it for easy for all boasting very comfortable bedrooms that were away from the commotion of the common spaces. There are sand chairs available as well as a wagon if you would like help bringing your toys to the beach. There is a slight walk to the beach but not on we ever had to dread making. Already looking at another week in 2026 to return!

We had a great stay. Everything was perfect and we felt so comfortable the moment we arrived. The house had everything we needed and more. We were a very short drive to the beach and lots of grocery stores. We would definitely stay here again. The owners responded quickly when we had any questions and were so nice and friendly.

This is a great house for big families and the perfect water for younger kiddos to play in. We loved the spacious living area and kitchen where we could all hang out without feeling squished. The decks give you privacy and are so peaceful! We are excited to visit again!

Wonderful place with an excellent host

Great distance to the beach and very pretty house! Beach equipment included and fun pool and volleyball court!

This was the perfect getaway. The house was beautiful, had everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. Such a short walk to the private beach which we went morning and evenings! The location was safe and quiet. They provided all the amenities for the beach..cart, boogie boards, chairs, sand castle items. The kids (18, 18, & 14) were in heaven. The only time they were on their phones was to take pictures or to relax on the porch late at night after a full day of fun. We had to pry our daughter off the porch at night, it was her favorite spot. And the PAC MAN game added a bunch of competition in the household. The location is just a short drive from many amazing restaurants and shopping. I cannot say enough about this property and Amy as a host! So responsive and had great suggestions. We didn’t want to leave and we will definitely be back for sure!

We loved our stay here! Literally said I wish we could move here! I was able to job from the house to the local bakery for a coffee & it was so peaceful & they worked with us when we needed some extra time to load our vehicle up the day of checkout with two kids slowing us down! 10/10 recommend!

Great spot. Quick and accurate communication from host thru the stay. Fit my needs perfectly, and i will be back next year. Water access was great. (Please if you are considering letting your kids play in the water, it gets deep quickly and the current can be quite swift)

Perfect space for two people. Rachel had everything you could need during your stay. It was a peaceful location, the bed was just right and we had the best nights sleep!! We were in the area for events at the Navel Air Station, so we didn't have time to use the pool, but wished we had. I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were great with recommendations and the accommodations were the perfect place to cool off and wind down after spending the day at the beach.

Awesome stay and I would definitely book again

The room was really nice and spacious. It was a few mins from the beach. It had a really good seafood restaurant right down the street. The best part was the pool being outside your door. They had everything you would need including children’s toys and life vests. We enjoyed our stay and plan to visit again.

Just a 10 minute walk to a private beach, intended for residents and their guests. We specifically chose this airbnb for the value and pet friendly accommodations, walkable to the beach. This checked all the boxes! I have an older dog and we wanted him to be able to see the beach, as a bucket list item. We had a great time! Anna was great at communicating and even going above and beyond by returning a couple of forgotten jackets. Also- check out Jesse’s on the Bay for a delicious meal- we went twice. Great stay! We’d gladly stay here again. Thank you Anna!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway with our JetSki. Haleigh's place is just down the road from a very nice boat ramp on the Bon Secour River. There was plenty of parking for our truck and JetSki trailer next to the Airstream. The inside of the Airstream was very clean and had everything we needed, including cold air conditioning. It's conveniently located - just a short drive to many great restaurants. We look forward to staying at Haleigh's place again in the future.

The space was slightly different than what I imagined with the pictures. Not a huge space, but private and did what we needed it to! The back patio and pool area were both very peaceful

Beautiful cabin for a weekend getaway. Very friendly and responded very quickly.

Lovely Respite from life here on the River! Lots of fun watching the boats fly by, eating Crawfish & enjoying beautiful sunsets! Nicely appointed home, wonderful beds & linens! Great hosts! Can’t wait to come back next year!!!

Peaceful and quiet location. Very relaxing and such a cute little place!

Meets expectations 👍

Wonderful pet friendly place to stay. Quiet and peaceful but close proximity to shopping, restaurants, etc.

hosts was wonderful. hosts kept us informed through the whole process. Cabin was beautiful, good mixture of vintage and modern furnitures,well maintained. Our host was friendly and welcoming.. The area was peaceful and quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was great. So peaceful! Joseph did well at communicating as well! We hope to go back again!

The community, absolutely adorable! The house, just as pictured! The most well stocked AirBnb we’ve stayed in! I’m picky on cleanliness and the only thing I could suggest would be carpet cleaning the area rugs but other than that, everything was spotless and clean! The host was very responsive and helpful. Just a couple of houses down and you’re at a walking path in Gulf Shores State Park. We felt incredibly safe, with four kids that’s top priority for us. Just a short drive to many beautiful beach access points. Close to restaurants, activities and shopping but tucked away in a calm and quiet neighborhood. Will absolutely book again! ☀️
