Your Beach Day, Simplified

Walk down from the deck and you’re on the beach. Beach chairs, floats, toys and an umbrella are stored in the front-porch beach closet, and the hammock and swings under the house are perfect for shade between swims.

Dauphin Island is known as Alabama’s Sunset Capital, and the west end is the place to watch.
