Excellent vacation

Had a great time at Dolphin Island. Was there for five days. The house was very comfortable and very close to the beach. The house was clean and stocked with everything I needed.Very quiet and relaxing. Not to crowded. Everyone seemed friendly. I will definitely be going again. Thanks for a great vacation.

We loved our stay. Our teenager had the upstairs to herself and we had the downstairs. Love that each bedroom had its own bathroom. I chose this property because it was pet friendly and the porch was gated; we could let the dogs outside on the porch with no worries of them running off. We have two 75 lb doodles that LOVED sitting out on the porch being nosy and coming in and out of the doors leading outside. Couple minutes walk and we were at the beach. We walked into the shops and restaurants a couple times too. Great location. Appliances were nice and everything was clean. The TVs in the bedrooms have Roku on them, but not the living room TV. Each bathroom has a huge tub if that’s your thing. Regular coffee pot for all my fellow coffee fiends. There is a place underneath the deck for cleaning fish and a water source for cleaning off after being at the beach. We loved this place and would definitely come back!(Go to Skinner’s for steamed seafood or Captain Snapper’s for dinner.)

First time Dauphin Island but not the last

Great location, nice quiet beach with great views It felt like we were all by ourselves. However, We prefer blue water but the sand was soft and white. Lots of sea weed and drift wood. But very peaceful. The Boardwalk rental company gave several other locations right on the beach for us to check out next time. We will go back. Rent a golf cart it is worth it. Oh and Our puppy loved it!

GREAT PLACE AND LOCATION

Overall the property is as they describe, newly remodeled, clean and has supplies that are need for a home away from home. Catching the breeze on the deck was perfection! The water/beach views from the deck are in front and off to the right side. The beach is clean with a short walk from the property! We would recommend the picture in the dining area be moved up so it does not cover the light switch. The island has a lot to offer, however make sure to get any groceries before you get there as the cost is higher than expected. It is an island after all lol. This property would be great during off season as well as in season. We would stay here again!

Great House!

We loved the house! Nice kitchen and cooking supplies. House is set up great and perfect for families. The only thing I would change would be the mattress was super super firm.
