705 Hernando Place, Dauphin Island, AL 36528

There is really something special about this place. You can't feel it from looking at the photos. You need to stand here in person and see the view of the beach while listening to the sound of the birds and see nature all around you. From the rustle of the palm trees in the breeze to the beautful chirping of the birds all around it has to be experienced to appreciate. As you pull into the drive look around you at the fruit trees and foliage all around the property. The owner has used this space wisely to take advantage of nature and the climate here. It feels like you have entered a different world. At the main entry upstairs you enter into a large welcoming space with lots of bonus areas. To your right as you enter you have a large open kitchen and a pantry plus a combined living room and dining area that has a fireplace in the corner for cold nights. There is great natural light filtering in all around, and doors opening out onto multiple deck spaces. To your left of the entry you will follow a hallway to two bedrooms and two full baths, plus a large utility room with lots of storage and even a fold down ironing board. Just inside the main entry you will see the wide stairs that take you up to two master suites.
