Overall a great stay

I’ve been to dauphin island before and knew the area. The house was lovely. Although it was a short walk to the beach, it was not clearly defined. A single plaque with an arrow didn’t align with where you needed to go and path was not cleared. The other issue was the grill they advertised. The one available to use was rusted and under the house and with all the rains, sat in 6-8 inches of water until two days before we left. The lack of garbage pick up, even though we had the cans at the street on the days required was frustrating. I did reach out to the homeowner and it took 4 days to respond to the concerns I had. We found out later that the tub shown in the pics was not a functioning jacuzzi tub. I will give kudos that he stopped by after a bad storm to see house the house was. The house was nice, proximity to the beach was ok and doable. While they had an abundance of plates and utensils, baking sheets were limited. This was also my first vrbo that had no seasonings left behind. I can understand food, but not even oils or spray Pam. The pictures are not completely accurate and should be updated. The neighbors a house away were more helpful at answering questions we had. Overall cleanliness was decent. Most motorways the tub and the jets. However there was not a single rug to help with sand or debris we bought one so it would help keep us from sweeping several times a day. The deck area was nice and it locked so it helped with having a dog.

Wonderful place to gather with family

We had family from Mobile stay with us and others who visited. It was a gathering to celebrate the life of a nephew who passed away, The beds were very comfortable as was as the furniture inside and outside. Having the gated deck was a plus for our two small dogs. The kitchen was very well appointed. The owners were gracious. The access to the beach is the only drawback. The beach access marked was overgrown and filled with sandspurs. There was no clear path marked. Access at the street was "forbidden," but we used that anyway. If Dauphin Island wants to be a tourist friendly community, they must install some paths for beach access. The public areas are great, but parking is limited. For a restful vacation, this home is excellent. For beach access, it is not desirable.

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was very clean, really convenient to have 3 bathrooms, comfy beds. The only negative was that the beach access is a bit of a walk and not well defined. There are really unfriendly local neighbors who stalked the beach access. Regardless, we always have a wonderful time at DI. It’s the best place to stay for a laid back vacation.

Nice house

Very nice house and neighborhood. Host was nice. Our only complaint was we thought that the house was on the beach where you could sit on the porch and see the ocean. You couldn’t see the beach from the house but it was just a couple minutes walk.

This was a lovely home with just a short walk to the water. Far enough from the water out 7and 8 year olds wouldn't go by themselves but close enough for the adults. We had an awesome vacation. Thank you so much.

We had an amazing time! This house was a short walk right onto the beach. The house was a beautiful perfect place to stay. The rooms had their own bathrooms and it made the stay so much easier with how many people we had. The shower outside to rinse the sand off was the perfect touch! We will most definitely stay here again.
