Crosswinds - Beach and Boat! Boat Slip Included!

Welcome to Crosswinds, your ideal vacation getaway on Dauphin Island, where coastal charm meets unparalleled convenience! This boat-friendly haven features dual boat slips on the canal, each measuring 36' long and 24' wide, granting direct access to Mobile Bay for endless aquatic adventures. And with our pet-friendly policy, your furry companions are welcome to join in on the fun!

Inside, you'll find an inviting open floor plan living space, complete with a fully equipped modern kitchen boasting an island for seating, a dining room offering direct access to the covered back porch with canal views, and a tastefully decorated living room featuring a large flat-screen TV and direct porch access.

Three bedrooms await in the south end of the home, providing comfortable accommodations for all. The SE king bedroom suite offers canal views and a private bathroom, while the west bunk room boasts a twin-over-full bunk bed and dedicated work space. The SW bunk room features a twin-over-full bed and dedicated closet, with a common bathroom conveniently situated between the bunk rooms.

Outside, the covered back porch beckons with a fan and outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. The fully paved back patio boasts multiple picnic tables, ideal for savoring a fresh catch right next to the water.

Fall get away
House is in a really quiet area. It was clean and had everything we needed. We fished in the canal and saw all the local attractions. We were worried about the floor, which had several soft spots. Overall, a very nice rental.

We took our two small kids here for a long weekend because my daughter wanted to catch and eat a crab. Mission accomplished! Had a great stay, caught a lot of fish, and can't wait to get back!

First time but not the last
This was our first time staying at this location and we absolutely LOVED it! Having our boat right at the house with us and not having to go back and forth to the boat ramp for the whole stay was extremely nice. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and friendly. The property management was so quick to answer any questions and resolve any issues we had immediately. We extended our stay because we loved it so much and can’t wait to come back and stay again!

House great, island so so
The best part about the island was this house was great, the neighbor on the right was very nice and pointed us to a restaurant with a pool and private beach. The only other good thing was from our location we drove 1-2 hours in both directions and visited New Orleans and Pensacola Florida. We made these trips primarily because the weather was horrible, and the island didn’t really have anything going on.
