Amazing Beach House

The location of this house is perfect with the bay in the back and the ocean across the street. Bring BUG SPRAY! So many bugs and they bite. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the back porch or the bay. The beach is clean and quiet. It's an easy walk to get there. There isn't much to do on the island besides relaxing and enjoying the beach life...which is perfect!! Our kids loved finding all of the hermit crabs on the bay. We weren't super impressed with the restaurants on the island, but the prices were right for what you got. The kitchen was well stocked, so we were able to cook without missing anything. We would definitely return! It was a great week spent with family.

Perfect beachfront home!

This home was perfect for us and our extended family during Spring Break. We enjoyed the private beach, hammocks, and dock daily! We also enjoyed the common space and large deck off of the home. We cooked many meals in the kitchen where we had space for multiple people to help with prep. We hope to go back to Dauphin Island again in the future!

Family

The rental house was good, very spacious, enjoyed the deck near the water. Only concern/ issue we were not sure of, if the bath towels were clean, they didn't smell clean, so we washed them again before we used them.

Will go again

The house was gorgeous. A little misleading having a boat in the pictures but not available with house. Hammocks were nice but one was broke. Dealing with an agent was different for us, usually communicate directly with house owner; who are a little more friendly.

Best Family Beach Vacation!

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. We had a little trouble getting in the door but owner was quick to respond. Everything was accounted for and we had plenty of room for our family of 11. Plenty of towels for us all! We were sad the mosquitos were so bad out back by the bay but we enjoyed plenty of time at the public beaches. D.I. Is the best kept secret for a family beach vacation!!

House was perfect for ourr family

House was very accommodating for our needs. Plenty of room and clean. Only issue we had was the gas grill not working. We ended cooking our steaks in a skillet, was was fine too. Next day tgey brought us a brand new one before lunch. We got to grill our burgers and dogs. Rental company was very helpful through out the process. Team members were great.

Great place to unwind!

This rental had everything you could possibly need for a great family beach vacation! The house is perfectly situation for a family or multiple families. We loved being on the calmer side of the beach bc our kids (6 and 9) loved hunting for seashells, hermit crabs, and taking out the kayaks. It was perfect bc we didn’t have to worry about the waves. Then it was just a quick walk across the street to the waves. There isn’t a lot of fine dining experiences on the island or nearby so we cooked in every night and that was nice for our family but if you haven’t visited the island before it is something to keep in mind. There isn’t a bustling night life or dining on the island. We enjoyed our experience and the house perfectly met our needs.

Views of the ocean and bay

The house is located on the more remote side of the island. Everything in the home is new and it is fully equipped. We had access to both the beach and bay. The girls enjoyed kayaking on the bay side and boogie boarding on the gulf side.
