Our stay was great! The home is stocked, and ready to be your temporary home. It was very welcoming for our 2 kids, both kids rooms full of books, games and toys. The host was very kind and welcoming, we felt if we needed anything we could reach out. The home was clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here. Hopefully next time we plan a trip to Dauphin Island we get to stay here again.

This was the second time staying at the Caddy Shack. It was great again. Close walking distance to the beach. We chose this VRBO because it’s dog friendly and our dogs absolutely LOVE the beach. Morning and evening walks on the beach are amazing.

The property was very cozy and welcoming overall. We enjoyed ourselves with our 2 dogs. The local people and businesses were very nice. We liked that several places were pet friendly. Everyone who visits must get a golf cart. They are convenient, and a blast to ride on.

Our family (two kids, two adults, and a dog) had a wonderful time. We have been coming to the AL Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan, and Dauphin Island) for years and this was the best rental experience we’ve had by far. If you have small kids and/or a dog, this is perfect for you. We cannot speak more highly of the accommodations and hosts!
