Enjoyed our trip

The house was just as pictured. We loved the view. The only drawback was having to walk behind the house and through the middle of all the houses in front of us in the sand to get to the beach. The 2 houses at the end of the road have blocked off beach entry from the road. It was annoying and there are a lot of sand spurs. So have shoes you can walk in sand. This is not the fault of the house owner but it would have been nice to know this fact before we rented.

Cute Home, Great location!

The home was clean, well stocked and just a few steps from the beach access point. It’s also just a couple blocks from many of the shops and restaurants on the island. If you’re staying here, you do not need to bring or purchase any beach supplies. This home has it all - sand toys, chairs, umbrella, and even a fishing rod. The house had great AC, was tastefully decorated, had comfy beds and sofas, and just overall a great place to stay. The management company provided great communication for check in, check out and even checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. 10/10

Excellent beach cottage

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay! There is a closet full of beach umbrellas and toys, and the house is stocked with towels, so we were able to pack light and leave all these things at home. Really great location — beach is at the end of the short street. Definitely the perfect cottage for an easy, fun vacation to the beach!

Gross

We arrived to a unclean home with a horrific smell permeating throughout the entire home. The walls are full of holes and marks. The bed were sandy and uncomfortable. The fridge smelled of rot. Cannot believe what we paid for this dirty home. The cabinets has smears all over them that I very easily wiped off with a wet wipe - so clearly no real cleaning had been done before we arrived. I do not recommend

Very clean, charming cottage. The host thought of everything you could possibly need for the beach. The only issue was the door code but host came up with a solution. Hope to return for longer stay in the future.

Dauphin Island vacation

We could not have had a better house for the 4 of us and and labs. The house was tastefully decorated and so clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The huge deck was gated so our puppies were able to lay out in the sun . The best part was the house is so close to the beach. I will definitely want to stay here again

Nice place for a small family. The house could use some cosmetic attention. It’s in a great location and closer to the beach than what the photos showed. It was clean and well equipped with everything you need for your family vacation. It was perfect for my husband and I and our little dog Daisy.

Super close to the beach

We had an amazing, relaxing time this weekend! We were super close to the beach (even closer than it looks in the pictures) and Dauphin island is so dog friendly! There are two locations for rinsing feet and dogs outside of this house which was great and we enjoyed many evenings relaxing on the deck. It was quiet, relaxing and the perfect getaway!

Spring Break 2021

My family loved this property for our spring break getaway from Michigan. This is our second time on the island and first at this house. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. My teen girls loved being close enough to the beach to go hang out easily and it really was a great view even though it's one house back. I would defintely return to Seafari!
