This location is a short bike ride or walk to see one-of-a-kind views in the sunset capital of Alabama. The spacious driveway welcomes multiple vehicles and boats less than three miles from boat ramp. Unwind and relax in this quaint community with gorgeous white sandy beaches and fresh Gulf seafood.

The Agape Cottage is located at the end of a quiet, family-friendly street. It is a two story open concept home with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The spacious master suite upstairs covers the entire second story! Fully stocked kitchen and a gas grill located on screened in back porch.

Dauphin Island was a great place for 2 seniors who needed a break. Agape Cottage was the perfect place. Very inviting and comfortable, close to just about everything. The beds were super comfortable and the real gem of this was our host Jessica. She made sure we had everything we needed and we got to meet her. She is awesome. We will go back!

Bride’s and Bridesmaids’ Dream!
Absolutely perfect! My daughter (the bride) and her 3 bridesmaids all stayed with my mother and me the night before the ceremony. The ladies took over the upstairs to get ready for the wedding. They had plenty of room, counter space and mirrors to get even more beautiful than they already are. The back porch was a popular place with all of us, also. Will highly recommend this lovely cottage!

Awesome experience. Only thing I would change was the small rug at the front door. It’s very slippery. Someone might slide down. Just a suggestion. Everything else was great!!!

Beach getaway with a family of 6
We absolutely loved staying at the cottage. Everything was tidy and ready for our arrival. Our host was amazing and communicated very well. I was nervous this being our 1st timre using VRBO. Jessica completely put me at ease. We have 2 seven year olds a one year old and a 18 year old. There was more than enough room for all of us. It was very comfortable. Everything was very close in town. I highly recommend Jessica as the host as well as the property. We will return. We had a wonderful stay!!!!!!

Awesome Stay
My family had a wonderful time during our stay at Agape Cottage. There was plenty of space and beds for us all. Everything was clean and we were just 10 minutes from all of the beaches. The owner, Jessica was so helpful. She checked on us to make sure we had all we need and offered to send us a kitchen item that was missing from the kitchen. She was so kind and attentive to us. We would absolutely go back and stay again!

The home is beautiful and in a perfect location! It was very quiet but still close to the beaches and shopping. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Drinking a cup of coffee on the screened in porch every morning was a great way to start the day. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful home on a very quiet street
My husband and I stayed from 4/28-5/2, and had a fantastic time. The house is exactly as described, and looks just like the pictures. This was our first time to the island, and the Jessica our host gave us so much information about the island, that I really didn’t have to plan our days. The home is located at the end of a dead end street, which is very quiet. Jessica was very knowledgeable, and able to answer all my questions. We didn’t use the grill, but it is nice to have as an option to cook. I absolutely loved the screened in back porch with a tv and ceiling fans. Loved relaxing and rocking in the rocking chairs. We have a St Bernard mix who weighs 165lbs, and Jessica didn’t mind having our big guy as a house guest in her home. Having a big dog can make travel hard because not all place accept a dog his size. The master bedroom bed was so comfortable. The little touches like having soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dishwasher detergent was a nice touch. Plus all the products smelled good. The home does have a small fenced in yard. It was nice to be able to let the dogs out and not worry about them getting out. We will definitely be staying again.

Peaceful and relaxing
We had an amazing time with our 2 schnauzers in this beautiful home! The screened in huge back porch was our favorite place to hang out. It is so peaceful and quiet. The fenced in little yard was perfect for the dogs, so nice not to have to leash them up to go potty, they enjoyed the porch as well with the floor to ceiling screens they were able to just sit, or lay and watch things. Jessica was amazing as well, wish we could give her 10 stars! Any questions we had she replied very quickly. Everything is so close to the house that you want to do, we enjoyed not actually being on the beach. Book this place, we promise you will love it!! We will be back!

We hosted Easter dinner at the Agape Cottage and everything was great. We had plenty of seating for our large family. We brought 3 bikes and the 5 extra bikes made it so the whole family could go for a ride! Jessica was really responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely stay again.

We loved this location!!! It is in a quiet area, very clean and comfortable!!! The host Jessica was available if we needed anything (which we didn’t because she had everything already taken care of)! The home is beautiful and welcoming, the bed was super comfortable, plenty of space in the living room, kitchen is large, large enclosed back porch with a tv and grill, small fully fenced area for pets, and bicycles on the front porch. There is plenty of parking also and it is just a short drive to the boat ramp and ferry! Thank you so much Jessica for such a beautiful and wonderful place to stay and we look forward to coming back in the near future!!!

Fall break at the beach
This house was at the end of a quiet street, perfect for biking in the neighborhood or to the Lighthouse bakery. We had fun cooking and relaxing in the large back porch, and also exploring different beaches on this small sweet island. Our group of 10 spanned ages 1-76 and the house was perfect, comfy and very pleasant.

Perfect quiet getaway
We are a group of Christian ladies who go on a annual "Beach Trip"....several of them weren't going this year, so we decided we still wanted a getaway, but somewhere with less activity, quieter, and "closer to home". This quiet little cottage was perfect for our group. It was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated (♡ the scriptures!) and had a charming home-like feeling. We had everything we needed for a few days, and what we did not have, the owner quickly supplied without delay. She was very available and communicative to us the entire stay. The house sits at the end of a dead end street and backs up to a wooded lot. The screened back porch is very quiet and serene for morning coffee. There were bikes to ride the very safe neighborhood. We all wondered why we had all never been to Dauphin Island since we'd grown up in the New Orleans area....it was fast and easy to get to. East Beach is literally just minutes away, and offers a small, family like environment with areas to swim that are safe and protected from strong surf and undertow. We highly recommend Chase N Rays beach chair service! They will deliver and pick up from anywhere on the island and are very reasonable! They placed our umbrellas and chairs anywhere on the beach we asked them to! But if you don't want to rent, no need to haul beach stuff to the island.....the house also had beach chairs, umbrella, and some other floating devices/beach toys. There are games and kids ride on toys too for families. Overall 5+
