Tidal Wave is a beach lover’s dream, offering a seamless mix of relaxation, fun, and comfort right on the private sound-side beach of Dauphin Island. The home’s warm and welcoming interior gives off an elevated coastal vibe, filled with natural light, high ceilings, and thoughtful decor that blends traditional and modern styles. With a private pool and multiple outdoor spaces including a pergola-lit tide pool and an under-house entertainment area, Tidal Wave sets the stage for unforgettable family vacations and even weddings or events.
The open-concept living and dining area creates a large social hub with an oversized sectional, playful coastal accents, and a shared double-sided fireplace. The dining room’s farmhouse table comfortably seats ten, and the adjacent bar area makes for a great spot for casual conversation. The kitchen, just off the main living space, is a galley-style layout with a large central island, wall oven, and breakfast nook with bay windows that deliver direct beach views.
The sleeping arrangements at Tidal Wave include:
• East King Bedroom (First Floor): King bed, access to Jack-and-Jill bathroom with tub, shower stall, and large countertop space.
• East Bunk Room (First Floor): Two twin-over-full bunk beds with pull-out trundles, large TV, standing arcade console, and access to the Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
• NW King Suite (First Floor): Gulf-facing windows, private bathroom with a shower stall.
• SW Bunk Room (Second Floor): Single-over-full bunk bed.
• Master King Suite (Second Floor): King bed, TV, balcony access, luxurious bathroom with raised black jetted tub, panoramic views, black granite countertops, and a sleek modern design.
• East Queen Suite (Second Floor): Queen bed, TV, private balcony access, bay window beach views, private bathroom with shower-tub combo.
The outdoor experience at Tidal Wave is just as impressive as the inside. The first-floor deck includes covered dining, a grill, and a raised deck with a private heated pool (the heated pool can be turned on for an additional fee of $200 per day), offering panoramic beachfront views. Down below, a pergola-lit area surrounds a natural tide pool, with Adirondack chairs and a footpath leading to the private sound-side beach. This beach is perfect for younger swimmers thanks to its gentle slope and calm waters, free from rip currents and with fewer marine hazards than Gulf-side beaches.
The under-house area is more than just storage, it’s a beach hangout zone. Hammocks offer a relaxing spot with ocean views, while the game and fitness area features cornhole, giant Jenga, a punching bag, heavy rope, plyo boxes, and a pull-up bar with rings.
Tidal Wave also offers a golf cart rental option and is wedding- and event-friendly. The second-floor balcony offers shaded seating areas for enjoying the view, whether it's morning coffee or a glowing Gulf sunset.
