Dauphin Island, which is commonly mistaken as Dolphin Island, is a very remote part of Mobile County, Alabama that sits furthest west along the Emerald Coast. The location is one unlike any other destination that is mentioned on the Emerald Coast. The remoteness is just one of the many attractive qualities about this location, and is what will offer the most beautiful, peaceful sceneries and experiences that anyone could find. Due to the location of the vacation spot, it is recognized as the “Sunset Capital of America”. Even though some may see Dauphin Island to be the forgotten one along the coast, it is home to some of the most extravagant beach homes that are spaciously separated, giving every guest(s) a vacation to themselves and away from the hustle and bustle.

When booking your Alabama Vacation Rental, we want guests to envision a different kind of vacation with Dauphin Island. Instead of crowded shopping centers, kid filled waterparks and long traffic lights, think of clear roads that may not need as many stop lights, bike paths with just a few families occupying them and empty parks for what may seem like a ‘VIP’ treatment that you didn’t have to pay extra for. Unlike other destinations along the Emerald Coast, Dauphin Island takes pride in being known as home to a lot of marine life and different wildlife throughout the various parks. The calming nature of the island lets the marine and wildlife come and go as they please allowing the tourists to be apart of their every day life.
