Great time!

We had a great time. This house slept all 7 of us comfortably and the commons areas are spacious and comfortable. Dauphin Island is a fun, laid back, beach experience. The bayside waters were calm and warm and the west end beach is just a couple of minutes away. We’ll be back!

Nice Get Away

The house and room sizes were nice. We needed a little more seating in the living room, but we just brought in chairs from the dinning room. We enjoyed the views from both decks. Overall we had a nice vacation on the island.

Good place to stay.

The only thing I would fix is to have staff to make coffee. Because if you are coming in late and have not went to the store yet. maybe some little big pan. It's was a very beautiful quiet and roomy. I will rent it again.

Loved the location. The home was perfect for our group. We loved the peaceful setting.

We so enjoyed it. Windows need replacing. The upstairs master bath is very rotten around the inside trim. A lift on the outside for luggage, etc would be wonderful. We would come back.

Perfect beach vacation

We had 9 people in our group, 6 adults and 3 teens. The house fit us all very comfortably. The beach was right out the back door! I found more shells and beach glass on our section of beach than I did anywhere else we looked. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The only issues we had were that there were no spices or anything for cooking, not even salt and pepper, but that's not a big deal, just something to be aware of. We would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dauphin Island is the perfect getaway beach destination, especially for adults and families who don't need entertainment other than the beach itself. The island doesn't have any of the tourist traps offered up at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, which is where we've previously vacationed. And no traffic, at least in the off-season.

The biggest issue was no internet for the entire stay. Apparently the bill had not been paid for 10 months and the owner was not willing to rectify the situation. There were 4 spoons and 4 forks for a house that accommodates 10 people. Light bulbs were out, stove knob missing, doors to outside wouldn't stay closed unless locked, unsecured glass in windows, things like that..
cabinet glass secured with tape
2/3 lights out

Great access to a nice clean Beach, not too many stairs, ample seating and very comfortable. The house was exactly as shown on the website no surprises. We will definitely visit again as we enjoyed.
