About this property

Ocean View Beach Cottage/3BR 2BA/Steps Away From the White, Sandy Beach!

  • See, feel, smell and hear the ocean from your beach house! Just steps away from the beach, treat yourself to a get-away at this quaint cottage by the sea! Come and enjoy spacious decks with plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy the views and sounds of the ocean at beautiful Dauphin Island.
    - The house is equipped with Wi-Fi and cable television in each room with a large flat-screen in the living room, and bedrooms. The rooms have comfortable beds with large windows and doors that invite the ocean views right inside with you! - The Master Bedroom has doors leading out to a ocean view deck with lounge chairs just waiting for you to come and relax. The decks facing the ocean have 4 big rocking chairs with a bistro table for two! Downstairs is an outdoor gathering area with two 5ft. relaxing swings, and a dining table. While you are out on the decks, you don't want to miss the sunrise with a cup of coffee or the sunset with friends and family! There are two additional outdoor tables for dining and a bbq grill for your convenience. You can rent bikes and kayaks that will be delivered right to your door! There is a bike trail along the entire island for biking, jogging, walking, and skateboarding. Another favorite activity is surf fishing right out on 'your' beach!

This is a very well laid out and maintained small beach house. Easy walk to the beach and an easy drive to businesses, restaurants and shopping. The owner was very attentive to our needs. There are porches facing in three directions which makes the moon rise and sun set views excellent. The house was equipped with all the gadgets necessary for an enjoyable week at the beach.

Wonderful Weekend!

Great place to stay. Clean, perfect size, very short walking distance to the beach/ocean and I think my favorite thing was the wrap around porch and view. Host was very quick to respond to questions. I recommend and would stay again. It was hard to leave.

First blended family vacation

We wanted to take our children and their partners on a family vacation. We picked the perfect place. The house is beautiful, well equipped and had great access to the beach. The island is so much fun. We had a great time at the aquarium and the fort. I highly recommend this beach cabin. The owner is very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Wonderful Place!

We had a great stay at the Morning Glory! The house was well stocked and had everything that we needed. The wrap around porch was amazing! Our party included 5 adults- my husband, myself, and our 3 grown children- we had plenty of room for everyone. It was a very short walk to the beach, which we loved. We did a mix of cooking and eating out. There were a few great restaurants very close. We would love to visit here again!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

Lovely and well-appointed beach house just steps from the Gulf in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood on Dauphin Island. Everything was as described and communications with the host were pleasant with timely responses. Great place to unwind and relax, away from the crowds. The island is small but has a few nice eating establishments, a couple of stores and a wonderful bakery, as well as some interesting sites. Recommend for families or adults who want a peaceful and calm beach vacation.

Excellent house and location

The location is great. Within walking distance of the beach on a more quiet less traveled side. Probably 150 yards away. Very clean and not as many stairs as most house that high in the air plus nice wrap around porch with chairs to relax in. Neighborhood is peaceful. The inside is nice and has plenty of room and chairs for resting as well. Good central location on the island also. Will go back for sure!

Beautiful beach house

We loved staying in Morning Glory Beach House. Being so close to the beach was extremely relaxing and a great time! House was great and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay...beds were very comfortable after our long walks on the beach collecting sea shells and making wonderful memories. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful home to us! We had an amazing weekend and plan 100% on coming back to Douphin Island in the future. 😀 I highly recommend Morning Glory Beach house to anyone looking for a relaxing trip to Douphin Island! 😁

Amazing stay and host

This was a much-needed break. Part of my family was going to be going back to another country for a couple years, was a girls trip with one son-in-law. The house was amazing. The host was amazing. The beach was a little chilly, but we found lots of shells. We just had such a great relaxing time. Then, when we got home, my daughter realized that she had left a blanket there that she had had for many years and a pillow and our little granddaughter shoes. The host and housekeeper went above and beyond in returning these items to us. I would recommend staying here and we hope to be able to return to this beautiful home. Sometime soon.
