Small but really nice.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was really nice. Beautifully decorated and spotless. We wish it had 2 bedrooms instead of the bunk beds. It is perfect for a couple and two children.

Great place!

The place itself was beautiful! Very clean, very well furnished. I rented while my daughter was on a school trip to the Sea Lab, so every night when I got back, I was exhausted! It was a nice, comfy place to rest after a long day. The only small issue is the neighbors were very loud Saturday night for a pretty long time. It was the weekend though, so...but it was floor-shaking loud lol.

Comfy, Clean, & Cut

The property was very clean, simply decorated, and in working order. This condo is in a neighborhood that has easy access to the island’s amenities. The beach was a little further away than we discerned from the map, but there was adequate and inexpensive parking at the public beaches. Would stay again if we return to Dauphin Island.

Nice Stay!

Went to Dauphin Island for a birding trip. I have to say the place was very clean and tidy. LOTS of towels, blankets, and pillows. Everything was stocked up for several days. I have to say it's so nice to not have to rush out and buy toilet paper/paper towels/etc. Also it's easy to park under the house out of the weather. Check in and entering the house for the first time was a breeze!Hope to come back next year!

Absolutely Wonder Place to Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our June 2022 stay at La Dolce Vita! My husband and I, along with our teen daughter, were very comfortable in this clean, beautifully decorated island getaway. Our hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and responsive. The place was well stocked and we had everything we needed. We hope to stay here again! Highly recommend!

Quaint Island Place

Really liked this property. Even the stairs were not bad! Could sit on porch and do my work and enjoy the outdoors, and when raining it was a great place to be working and relaxing inside. Thanks!

Our first time to the island will always hold a special place in our hearts, extra BIG thanks to the comforts of this home away from home. All of the additional thoughtful amenities made for a joyful place to come rest between biking, swimming and fishing!
