Definitely will be trying to come back in the future!

Cozy Cabin Retreat on 8 Acres, Near Pensacola
We absolutely loved our stay here—it truly felt like a home away from home. The space had a cozy, homey vibe, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and flexible, making our experience even more relaxing. Tucked away in what felt like the countryside, it was the perfect retreat from the usual hustle of the office—it’s only 5 mins from Macy Federal and felt like a peaceful escape that gave us the chance to slow down. This place is loved and cared for and definitely one we’ll be back to.

Quiet Cabin minutes from fun
Vicky has a wonderful place that's well situated for doing beach things. The design is very unique, and there's plenty of space for pups. We will definitely look for availability here whenever we come back.

Cozy Log Cabin, Foley, Al.
All the great reviews still didn't leave me prepared for how absolutely pleasant and charming this place would be. Nicely updated for such a historical structure. You can find plenty of concrete condos at the beach. I prefer the cozy cabin vibe that comforts my soul. What a great place to get away from it all. Easiest check in and check out ever. And then there is Jan... she is exactly the kind of host you hope to meet.

Riverside Log Cabin -Fishing Lodge-
A lot more room than the pictures show! Great morning weather and view. The outside area was very enjoyed by everyone especially the kids! Host was very friendly and nice especially when we asked silly questions! 🐊

Secluded waterfront cabin,boat dock,pier,sunsets
Johns place was amazing! We caught some good fish off the pier and it was very private and quiet. Would definitely recommend it and we will be back😎

Creekside Fishcamp
We enjoyed our stay at the Joe's fish camp and it was central to the events that we attended. The place was exactly as described. The enclosed back porch and dock were a great place to hangout and view the birds and wildlife in the area... very peaceful and quiet!

The Cabin at Fly Creek Marina
This was the PERFECT place to stay. We thought it may have been loud with it being connected to the restaurant parking lot but you really couldn’t hear any of the commotion at all. Being on the water with the boats was such a treat and with this being the only rental on the property it made everything feel that much more special. Everyone we said hi to thought we were local and living there. The home was clean and had everything we could have needed. There’s a folder on the counter that the host provided and had local spots, all the Airbnb details and information you could need. There was also a guest book to sign. SO MANY places to put your stuff because they added small side tables and additional chairs. This host thought of everything. We loved waking up and drinking our coffee on the balcony and watching the boats come in. We will be back!

family house *cowboy pool*HOT TUB~Yard Games.
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was super cozy while still being spacious enough for our group—and it smelled like “home”, which was such a nice touch. They provided great recommendations for local spots and things to do around Pensacola, which we really appreciated. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, and then some. The laundry area was especially cute and even had detergent and fabric softener ready to go. We especially loved the backyard that had the cowboy pool, hot tub, and bonfire area, which was perfect for unwinding after a night out. The hosts were fantastic: responsive, thoughtful, and made check-in and check-out a breeze. Communication was top-notch. We’d absolutely stay here again and 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting the Pensacola area!

Dauphin Island beach vacation rentals

Beach bungalow
I can't say enough as to how absolutely accommodating and flexible the host was. This is my first experience ever using Airbnb as I've avoided it due to bad experiences my family and friends have had in the past. The property was beautiful and had more amenities than listed. It was all very updated with brand new outdoor furniture and a gorgeous pool and outdoor kitchen area. There was clear and prompt communication with the host and everything went so smoothly from check in to check out. I'll absolutely be looking into renting the home again in the near future. Thanks for making my wife's graduation weekend so care free and relaxing. I couldn't ask for anything more.

3 Stories of Unforgettable Wrap Around Views!
The house was beautiful just as it looked in the pictures. The views are beautiful. Good location. Community pool across the street from the house and just a short walk to the beach. The house also provides lots of beach supplies, 2 bikes, and 2 scooters. These amenities made it easier for us to enjoy family activities. This is a great house for a family vacation.

TRENDY & BEACHY 1BR w/ BUNKS ..Steps 2 SAND
We had a perfect weekend getaway at Cheryl’s place. The place is perfect for two or a small family. Everything was exactly how it was listed. Cheryl communicated with us throughout the stay and responded quickly if we had any questions. The condo was exceptionally clean had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable as well. The beach is only a short walk from the condo. You can rent chairs/tent on the beach. There are indoor and outdoor pools onsite as well. The place is about a 20 minute ride from the city, but I enjoyed being away from busyness of everything. We really had no need to leave except in the evenings when we went out to dinner. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

Southern Beach Getaway Sleeps 6 Family Comfort
Absolutely loved Patti's Place! It was the perfect stay for our family and Patti was great to work with. She explained everything so well. The backyard area was so peaceful that I could have stayed out there the entire time. We will definitely be going back and booking Patti's house again.

Your guide to Dauphin Island
All About Dauphin Island
The seafaring town of Dauphin Island — just across the bridge from Mobile, Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico — boasts white-sand beaches, fiery sunsets, and a reputation for tranquility. Amble down the beach past pastel-colored cottages, and watch for dolphins and herons hoping to steal the catch of the day from local fishermen. Venture out to see the historic Fort Gaines and marvel at the mystery of Shell Mound Park, where layers of seashells have created a beautifully preserved site. For a quiet town that’s only 14 miles long, there is no shortage of picturesque scenery, water activities, and local history to be soaked up here.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dauphin Island
From April through until Labor Day weekend, Dauphin Island’s 1,300 residents are joined by visitors spending the summer season in town. The summer heat makes this an ideal time to enjoy the island’s pristine beaches, and the busier-than-normal buzz turns it into a lively coastal destination. Come in March or April for more tranquility, peak birdwatching, and beautiful tropical flower blooms – the weather is warm and sunny in spring too. It gets a bit chillier in Dauphin Island from October through February, though brisk seaside walks and the promise of warming up in cozy cafes make for a very welcome consolation prize. During winter months, it gets a little rainier on Dauphin Island, but temperatures never dip into freezing.
Top things to do in Dauphin Island
Birdwatching
While the dolphins often steal the show at Dauphin Island, this is also a prime spot for birdwatching. Every spring, 420 species of birds fly into town for a pit stop along their migratory path north from Central and South America. You can best spot them at Audubon Bird Sanctuary, with its 137-acres of protected marshes, dunes, swamp, and beach.
Fort Gaines
The pentagonal outline of Fort Gaines stands at the eastern tip of the island, guarding Mobile Bay as it has done for over 150 years. Visitors head here to explore the tunnel system, visit the blacksmith shop, and inspect original cannons fired during the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. The on-site museum showcases period clothing and local photographs, while the lookout points provide commanding views of the ocean.
Shell Mound Park
Shell mounds — or handmade layers of oyster, mussel, and various other shells to form hills — can be found sprinkled around the Gulf Coast and usually demarcate an important Indigenous settlement. Traditionally, tribe leaders would have their houses at the top of the mounds, with the rest of the community living below. These sites were hubs for gathering, trading, and celebratory feasts, and have lasting cultural and historical importance. Today, this park and bird sanctuary is a scenic and informative place for a stroll.
