Get away from it all at this four-bedroom beachfront dream on beautiful Dauphin Island! Built in the early 1960s, This raised, concrete block home sits on a 155' Gulf lot making you feel as if you own the entire beach. With loads of windows and a wraparound, covered deck, you'll enjoy infinite, unobstructed views from almost every room (and every corner) of this house. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped, full kitchen for preparing cost-saving, family recipes at home, a large dining table with seating for 10, and an open, sunlit living area with multiple sofas, a cable-equipped, flatscreen TV, and sliding door access out to the deck. Outside, while away the hours watching the shrimp boats come and go, dine together in the open air at the table for eight, or walk straight out onto the powdery sand where you can play in the water or try your luck at surf fishing. And at the end of the day, choose from four cozy bedrooms including three with queen-size beds as well as a couple kid-friendly bunkrooms!

What's nearby:
While you'll likely be spending a lot of your time strolling along the adjacent beach, gathering seashells, and soaking up the sunshine, Dauphin Island also features a few must-visit attractions including historic Fort Gaines, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and the fascinating Dauphin Island Sea Lab, all less than five miles east of this home. Head out on a guided fishing excursion to try and catch a variety of gamefish species, or play a few rounds of golf at the Gulfside Golf Course (home of Pirate's Bar And Grill), just two miles away. And additional restaurants, friendly bars, and gift shops can be found within a mile or two of this property.

We loved this place!
We really enjoyed staying here in the fall. The house is in a terrific location and the gulf view is spectacular. We had 3 in our party but there was plenty of room for a large family. We've stayed at the island many times in many places and this was in my top 2 beach houses. The interior was clean but the yard could really use a cleanup. There was a lot of litter and debris. Deck area was clean and spacious. The place was built in the sixties but has some good updates. The living room furniture was appreciated because there were 5 people watching the game and they all had recliners if they wanted one. The gas grill was fairly new and ready to go. The oven did not work, it wouldn't turn on at all. There is a freestanding Little Free Library box at the beginning of the street so bring a book to donate if you have one (not required). There were good books for all ages in there. I will be booking Mos' Siesta again. We enjoyed it thoroughly.

A wonderful week
The location was fabulous. The area was low key & not touristy. However there are some good local restaurants. During our week we saw an abundance marine life, including Dolphins everyday. My family of four loved this house on the beach.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway for Family of 8!
We loved our stay at this home & it was exactly what we needed for our family get-away! It is right on the beachfront dunes, overlooking the ocean, which makes for easy back/forth to the beach. Perfect for our family who just wanted to relax on the beach for 3+ days. We would definitely choose to stay here again! What we loved: 1. It's literally right on the beach! We loved walking out our door & onto the beach. No hassle with needing to bring everything, as it was just a few steps away if something was forgotten or needed. 2. Unobstructed views of the ocean right from the deck & along the back of the house - perfect for morning coffee, watching sunsets, and reading books to the ocean surf. 3. The home accommodated our family of 8 with ease - plenty of beds (1 king, 1 queen, 2 bunked queens, and 4 bunked twins) & 2 bathrooms. 4. Well-maintained! We did not have any issues with the home - all the kitchen appliances are brand new. Other things to know: 1. It's an older home. While very nice, it is not a brand new home. So just know that ahead of time. 2. Kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc. Bring some dishwasher pods. We received a code to access the home about a day out, but no other instructions. When we arrived at the home, it was not intuitive where to input the code - so we had to call the host (Vacasa). The host quickly got us into the property after that. Suggest that the host needs to provide those instructions up front!

So much potential
The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. However, I would be very cautious about staying here. At first the refrigerator didn't work. Then we couldn't connect to wifi. Since the cell signal isn't great, and I needed to use my tablet for a side hustle, this was quite inconvenient. The next morning the coffee maker didn't work. That afternoon my hair dryer from home wouldn't work. At first, John, the operations manager was super helpful. He ended up getting a new refrigerator and coffee maker, neither of which worked . Finally after having the wifi tech and an electrician in, they said it was a problem with the power company. That was Tuesday. On Wednesday I asked for an update, and was ghosted from then on. He didn't even reply when I asked if he could send me check out procedures since we didn't have wifi and couldn't access the website. The refrigerator finally started working on Thursday. John also said we would receive a partical reimbursement for the amenities lost, but it has been 10 days, and we haven't seen anything. Between the electricity being so poor, all of the people coming in and out, and constantly having to run to the store to get ice to keep things cold, it was way too much of a hassle for the price.

New fangled thermostat a problem
Excellent house in fabulous location with outstanding furniture and supplies. Only problem was the thermostat kept turning the AC off in the middle of the night, on some automatic schedule we could not change. Plenty of fans in the house, so would go there again in a heartbeat.

Perfect views and super clen
Older home but kept up nicely. Very clean. Lots of towels. Great wrap around porch with a gate to keep your 4 legged family members safe. Amazing view of the ocean, and sliding glass doors out of every bedroom. Kitchenware a bit dated but functional-ish. Bring all spices, and extras you need (ex, tinfoil) to cook. Only complaint is the house is very humid. Even with air set at 68, humidity would not go below 83%. Heavy rains on day 1/2, did not help. If you prefer humid, you will sleep well!

Beautiful views
There are beautiful ocean views from every bedroom in the house. Great secluded beach front location. Our 4 year old loved racing our dog/running laps around the house on the wrap around porch; his best time was 17 seconds. We loved all of the board games as well. Quick and easy walk to the private beach!

Weekend Getaway
My wife and I needed a weekend getaway, was last minute, never thought I world find anything available. Not only did we find the “mos siesta” available but we got a great deal on the property. Every room had double sliding glass doors so we always had a great view. My only regret was that we didn’t have more time to extend our stay.

Great location run by sorry company
Arrived to be greated by thirty bags of garbage overflowing in the car port. Manager said i should haul it out to the street in a couple of days. Lovely The numerous broken small maintenance issues were indicative of a poor management company letting a prime property deteriate at the expense of there guests. Kicker was the oven was broken and obviously had been for a long period. The stove top burner knobs were mismatched and obviously had had some kind of problems withh their replacement. The stove top would not heat properly and one didnt work at all. I reported this and asked why this stove did not work and had not been replaced. I got NO answer. This some west coast company with no local management and the contacts was directly with some ai computor. We rented a property where you couldn't even make a frozen pizza. Blids were brken. Front door lock had been altered to not lock. ( so managers didn't have to troble themselves with a needy guest. You dont need a door code here folks. Just walk in the front doors). The island has numerous local comanie to rent properties. Use them

We had an amazing time at our beach house at Dauphin Island,AL. The locks On the doors were tricky and some did not work well and the ice maker in the fridge did not work but everything else was great!! VERY clean which is really important to us, mooore than enough towels which was so nice and even small conveniences like automatic lighting on the stairs and deck were simple but wonderful touches!! Showers had nice fixtures so showers were relaxing and welcome after all day on the beach! So much deck space and sleeping space we were so comfortable!! We were steps from the beach but had small dunes and plants which were gorgeous. Cannot brag on the house enough or the amazing views of sunset and just the ocean all around!!!

Can’t beat the location
We were three adults and 6 kids, aged 3 to 10, that stayed 4 nights. Location was amazing, can’t beat being right on the water, amazing views. We saw dolphins in the water a few times from the patio, jet skis, sail boats, lots of helicopters. The kids enjoyed playing on the wrap around porch. Outdoor shower was a life saver. Negatives/improvements needed/suggestions: needs updating in bathrooms and kitchen, the sink in our bathroom did not drain properly, shower curtain had mildew on it, a lot of the outlets did not work; only two rolls of paper towels, two garbage bags and 4 rolls of toilet paper were provided - 9 people, 6 of those being kids, we blew throw all those in a day and a half; no spices were in the kitchen for general use - would be nice to at least have salt and pepper; blinds were broken in the 5 bed bunk room; a few of the sliding doors were broken or hard to open; lamps in all bedrooms and living room and rugs in all rooms would have made it more cozy. But overall it’s a great place and we would return!
