Sandbreak

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set on the sand at the Gulf’s edge on the far west end of scenic Dauphin Island, this five-bedroom (plus bunk room), six-bathroom retreat promises an incredible beach holiday complete with waves, dolphins, and sunsets.

Modern style and luxury take this beach home’s details and elevate the everyday into something extraordinary. You’ll love gathering with family and friends while enjoying the beauty of Dauphin Island at Sandbreak.

Enter the front door to a user-friendly, well-equipped kitchen with great flow, open storage, a dishwasher, a tall skinny fridge, and a seven-bottle wine cooler. When it’s time to eat, gather around the large dining table, perch at the kitchen island, or enjoy your meal on the main deck.

Soak in amazing unobstructed Gulf of Mexico views from the open living area, with 10’ ceilings and large windows that offer panoramic views of the west end of Dauphin Island and wow with spectacular sunsets. The living area provides ample seating for family and friends to gather around a 65” TV or relax around the fireplace in this well-appointed beach house.

Inside this modern luxury getaway, you’ve got five primary suites, each featuring a smart TV and en suite bathroom with dual shower heads. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have direct access to the viewing deck, which runs the length of the house and overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.

Send the kids upstairs to the bunk room, with six twin-sized bunk beds, where an oversized sectional and poufs offer plenty of seating to chill and watch the 65” TV. The large vaulted ceilings welcome more views of the Gulf of Mexico. Directly off the bunk room is the viewing deck for those dolphin lovers in the family.

This home provides plenty of outdoor space for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico from all three of its decks. From the upper viewing deck, one can sit and watch the dolphins play by day or simply star gaze for hours by night. The covered main deck, with seating for a crowd, also has a 14’ x 8' swim spa for those who wish to swim in a private pool when the water is too rough to play. In the cooler months, heat it to 104 degrees and enjoy a hot tub on the Gulf of Mexico. A grill and outdoor dining table complete the main deck. Walk off the lowest deck directly to the sand to build your sand castle and surf the day away. All the outdoor living spaces feel luxurious and inviting with room for everyone.

Explore the scenic West End or sit on your deck and enjoy the peacefulness of crashing waves and watching the sunsets Dauphin Island is famous for.

The property & house is beautiful. The parking situation is not conducive to a unit that holds 16 people.

We won't stay here again.
So I'll be kind but direct. I've already sent a message to the owner of this home in reference to the issues we had with this home, but to help anyone who comes here in the future, these are our suggestions. The fridge/freezer has limited space, so be selective on how much frozen product you bring. We would recommend bringing a cooler with ice for overflow. There is also no open cabinet space, except for small shelves at the end of the kitchen island. I recommend bringing your own Roku. Some of the remotes were either missing or had no batteries. If this doesn't appeal to you, I recommend bringing a DVD player. Cell service at the west end is poor, so we recommend a Hotspot for this trip. Wi-Fi was also spotty & we lost connection completely during our trip. A DVD player would've been wonderful to enjoy after a long day in the sun, during rainy days, & when the wifi went out. Bring spices, pans & cooking utensils. If you have a large party, the pans aren't big enough to cook a large meal or multiple meals without washing dishes during and after every meal. Bring pillows and blankets. There are only 2 twin pillows per king-size bed. There are extra pillows in the closets, but there are no extra pillow cases or linens provided if you want to use them. Bring Tupperware, ziplocks, aluminum foil, cleaning supplies, dish rags, Radio/blue tooth speaker, cards and board games. The coffee pot is both a normal pot and the option for Keurig cups.

Perfect location
Truly this was the most amazing location; every morning you walk down the stairs onto the beach. There’s dolphins in the water and crabs scurrying around the sand. Really really spectacular. Only negative was we fixed the broken door knob (glad my husband had tools to fix it) and the pool was sandy. Granted being on the beach, it’s very hard to keep the water spotless. Would come here again in a heart beat!

Summer
My entire family had a great time! The house was great and the swim spa was wonderful Some suggestions- blinds in living room- it got hot by noon and no privacy at night. Ceiling fans on the deck. A broom or dustbuster- too cumbersome to get the vacuum out each time.

Very Nice and Welcoming
This was a very nice house. Room for the entire family. Only complaint was the swarming termites we found on the first night. We didn’t know about the swarming season. Management Co swiftly sent termite co out and rectified the situation. LOVED that the beach was steps from the house. Deck with swim spa was great.

Family Vacation 2023
We had a party of 13 and there was plenty of space for sleeping, cooking, eating, lounging. The beach and hot tub were the highlights of the house, obviously! The only downside to this property were the deck grill did not work, no dressers in the bedrooms and there was minimal space for bathroom toiletries. We did report the grill to property management, and they were responsive. Although we were unable to use the grill, they were working to get it fixed. I would definitely recommend this property if you're looking for a quiet beach get away!
