We arrived after dark and there were no outside lights on for us. Thank goodness we brought flashlights so we could enter the door code. The house needs a lot of maintenance . Floor is coming up in 1 bedroom. Deck and railings are missing boards. Dish washer is broken. Draft comes through both doors. Love the island , but didn’t love this house.

The house and view were beautiful, but the chairs in the kitchen were wobbly and unsafe, and one of the beds was unsafe (king mattress on a full-size frame). There was a radiator on the bay beach area that was a hazard and we had grandbabies so that messed up their play area.

Our stay

We thought the location was good and it os convenient to the gulf and bay access. It was big enough for our group of 7, we also had our dog with us who enjoyed playing on the bay side. We did request a toaster and the grill to be cleaned during our stay. The toaster was brought to us on the same day requested but the grill no one ever came to clean it so we cleaned it ourselves since we needed to use it. The property could be cleaned better since when we went to use the coffee maker the inside of it was covered in mold. Be careful on the deck barefooted you might catch a splinter. Lastly, the Wi-Fi kept going in and out, not the hosts issue just an FYI. Overall it was a good stay for our family and dog.

Don't rent the Saltaire

The locking mechanism is very difficult. Even with the code we could not get the door open for more than an hour after arrival. You must push the door in and hold it in a specific way to get the locking mechanism to work. there is no ice maker in the refrigerator and no ice cube trays either. The water pressure in the showers is very low. The place has the smallest washer I have ever seen, as it could only hold two towels and a couple swimsuits per load.

Dog poop and sand

Loved our vacation location. House is in need of outdoor repairs. Siding coming off. Toilet didn't want to flush. Garbage disposal smelled bad. People before us didn't take trash to curb and housekeeping didn't either we had to take a over flowing can to curb and had no room for anything of ours for 3 days. Coffe ring on kitchen table when we got there. Only enough propane to grill half our first meal. Major no no for me was sand on top bunk bed making me feel like it was never cleaned. To top it off we found dog poop in second bedroom and we didn't bring animals! I clean vacation rentals and completely blown away with lack of proper things being done. We love dauphin island it's our 3d time visiting!

In Need of repairs

The house needs a lot of attention. Outside the siding was coming off or missing, lattice work was thrown in the walk way under house so it was very unsafe for kids. Inside there was dog hair everywhere and outside on the deck there was dog poop. I know this rental allowed pets but never expected to find all of the dog hair covering the bedding sheets and comforters and poop on the deck. We had to wash it all and use our own blankets as cover because we could not wash the big comforters. All of the furniture in the living room area was stained up and just looked uncleaned. Doorknobs were loose and made it hard to open some of the doors. Keyless entry lock kept locking us out so be careful when you walk outside. The fridge/freezer smelled so bad. This is so sad because this would be a really nice rental if it had some attention shown to it. The location is perfect for families.

Previous reviews almost caused me not to book

Let's just start with the good stuff. Location is great! Right in the middle of the island and house comes with private beach access, just a short walk from your back door. Communication was great with property manager and was quick to answer and questions/concerns. We almost did not book with this host due to previous reviews, but I am glad we choose to disregard and book our stay. Previous reviews mentioned a radiator in the sand at the beach, which there was. Not sure how this got there and why it is still there, but it does become slightly dangerous when tide is high, and the waves cover it completely. You sometime forgot it was there and had to watch not to trip or kicking it when in the water. The other reviews talked about how the house needed work, and it does. However all the necessities worked, and we were able to have a place to sleep,shower,eat and cool off after a day at the beach. Does the patio need redone, yes. Does the front door need replaced, yes. Does the shower have little to no pressure, yes. But these are all things that we knew wouldn't bother us too much. Especially with the location and cost of the rental. This was a dog friendly rental, and we did take our 7-yr old boxer with us, and she had a great time! FYI- Stairs are a little steep but she managed.

Could be really nice … a

This house is unfortunately not safe. It’s a shame because done correctly it could be a fantastic rental. Dirty linen, dried food on dishes, bugs all over kitchen, broken glass all over walkway, rusty wires poking out of several gates, boards w/rusty nails sticking straight up-one went through someone’s foot, mold in coffee maker, missing pickets on 2nd floor walkway that a toddler can fall right through, tripping hazards ie old bricks scattered all over the place & on & on — I let mgmt know about these & addtl issues. Someone sprayed for bugs 1 morning & they were back that afternoon. The company has a lot of excuses including that they could have fixed some of these issues but since we did not want people coming in/ out of house my complaints could not be addressed. I am in the middle of Chemo & could not allow random workers in/ out all weekend. The lady with the bug spray was my max. They said halfway through the stay they could leave clean linen & a coffee maker outside if I had just let them.. I don’t know who was in charge of written invitations that day but if you can fix a problem just FIX IT. Leave the items outside. They refunded my cleaning fee which was fitting. They completely ignored the repeated complaint/ comment that there were boards w/ rusty nails sticking straight up in the walkway & one went through my husbands foot. After reading the other reviews & management responses I am curious as to the excuses that will be posted below knowing I can’t respond

Nice house, needs a few updates

We had a great stay, the house was nice. However, there are a few things that need to be addressed: The rugs weren’t very clean, the bathroom rug looked like it belonged outdoors. The windows didn’t all have screens in them, which was annoying because we would’ve loved to open the windows and feel a nice ocean breeze through the house. The blinds were broken in many places and quite dirty. Other than that, the house was great. It had everything we needed, including a great fenced in dog yard, which the dog could access right from the deck landing. The porch had a wraparound deck, very enjoyable for kids, dog and adults. The house is very well laid out for being a smaller size. We had four adults and two kids, and had plenty of space. The house is on the north side of Bienville, so the property backs up to the bay, which was nice to walk along or view the sunset. Also you can walk out the driveway, cross the road, and enjoy the beach on the gulf. Most houses on the bay don’t have that beach access, so this was a nice bonus for us! We had a great stay!

Unsatisfied

There were several things in the house that needed repaired. Appliances are old and we had to keep our food in coolers, door handle would not open and needed replaced, window was broken, flooring was coming up in the kitchen, toilet paper holder was broken, no screeens on the back of the house so when the power was out for over 24 hours we could’ve ended open the windows, sand was piled so high in the driveway that our guest got stuck 2 times then ended up having to park their car at a different location and be transported back and forth and there is no cable or satellite provider. After a conversation with Adam I was told he would refund a small portion of what we paid and still haven’t seen it. I would not recommend this property or rental property that manages it.
