Tremendous Taratoo
Guest: Jody N.
Date of Stay: 01/04/12
Review Submitted: 01/19/12
We were looking for lodging for a week to attend the Bowl game in Mobile but found so much more than lodging. Our hosts were so kind and gracious, and went way above and beyond what we expected. Taratoo is much more than lodging. There is a pool table, bicycles, fishing poles, floating stuff for swimmers--probably more that I didn't see. They even fed us a few times! There's lots of nearby attractions. The beach is nearby, historic Fort Gaines, marine Estuarium, fishing, Audobon bird sanctuary, USS Alabama. The accommodations are as nice as any hotel room I've ever stayed in, but offers so much more than a hotel experience. Four of us stayed a week with three more added for two nights. Two were elderly. I would love to go back!

Our first trip together to the gulf....an amazing experience! Tara Too was a really comfortable 'home base' to explore the island and surrounding area. Nicely furnished, VERY comfortable beds, clean, and equipped with everything anyone would need -- kitchen fully outfitted, linens, towels, free wifi, etc. Beautiful beaches within very close distance, numerous fishing opportunities, bird sanctuary, civil war history, like I said, amazing experience! I've only waited this long to leave a review because I'm greedy!!! ....didn't want to give away our 'secret' getaway spot! Buddy and Janie are exceptional hosts --- Thank you guys SO MUCH for taking such good care of us! I can guarantee we'll be back! :-)

I was hesitate about coming to Dauphine Island when it became obvious that Lee was coming too. Our family decided to go anyway. This was our first vacation in two years. We saw lots and lots of rain. The rain naturally kept us inside more than normal. The apartment was nice and was a good size for our party of four. We hung out with Buddy and Janie, they were very friendly. Even with, Lee our first time visit to Dauphine Island was good. We enjoyed using their bikes and taking a bike ride between rain bans. As luck would have it, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary suffered a fire the day prior to our stay. It was closed the whole five days. We did visit the Estuarium and it was well worth the money. My kids loved the "Goat trees".The Lighthouse Bakery was good. We will be back to the island. Nice small town with a peaceful attitude

Great hosts! Made us feel right at home, apartment was well kept, very clean, and very quiet. We came here on our honeymoon and will definitely be going back. Dauphin Island is a great place to relax, not a lot of touristy things, not a lot of tourists.

It was a wonderful weekend. You couldn't meet two sweeter people - the Thompsons are such great hosts! The place is much more quiet than staying at a larger condo and very cozy. Next time our family will have to stay longer!
