Amazing property and view

The house was really nice. We definitely spent more time outside than in. It was nice having the big patio facing the water and the private access to the beach.

Loved it for the most part

I loved the view. It was clean. My kids enjoyed themselves. The mattresses could use some updates and the AC could use some work, the shower heads weren’t the best but other than that I would rent again!!

Perfect Honeymoon spot

My wife and i wanted a nice quiet stay with a breath taking view and we got just that. Very quaint house, very minimalistic, but well spaced out. Private beach on the bay side and minutes feom everything.

Beautiful location but that's it.

The view and location of this home was amazing. But that's it. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation this will not be it. I should have listened to some of the other reviews about that beds but though maybe they were just hard.... Definitely not the case, the beds in this property were so bad we had to go out and buy air mattresses. The furniture is not comfortable at all and the patio furniture is awful as well. I will not be staying in this home again unless furniture and beds are updated. I get that this is probably one of the cheaper properties but that doesn't excuse the awful beds. There were permanent body indents in both beds. Definitely not the "relaxing" vacation I was hoping for.

Perfect getaway.

Midway to West end beach or East end boat ramp/ferry. We like the private beach area facing the bay view. House is nicely furnished with the comfort of home. Will highly recommend to others.

Perfect location

Great view of the bay and a short walk to the gulf side. The place was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was the mattresses. Like other reviews have said they are pretty bad. I’d at least recommend a mattress topper if nothing else.

It was okay for the price. I would not pay nothing more than what I paid for a 3 night stay.

Love the idea for placing your name and distance traveled but a rotary tool, wood or permanent markers were not available for use. Love the fact the water was in your backyard but wished it had a dock to walk out on.

We booked this house due to being just steps from the water. The beds and stove as well as the side door need replacing asap and this house will be way better. Of these things get done soon we will book this house again for next year on our vacation. Every thing else was spot on.

Overall great house! Did have issues with the air and fridge but reached out to management and someone was sent but unfortunately things were not fixed before we left. There was also a glass coffee table in the living room which isn’t ideal for little kids but even with that I would gladly stay at this property again!

Great house and location

This beautiful house was in the perfect location right on the bay, with a little beach area right out the back door. And only a short walk to the Gulf. Although we didn't even go to the gulf side the whole week we were there. The beach area behind the house was perfect for the grandkids. No big waves...no seaweed and not deep until you walked way out. The area was perfect also. Not crowded...and we were there Memorial Weekend. The only traffic you have to worry about is the occasional slow golf cart. The restaurants were amazing. This was our first time coming here. And definitely my new spot.

Nothing grand about little gramd hotel

This is the first house my family has stayed at in Dauphin Island I would not recommend renting to anyone. Everything is old and outdated and needs to be upgraded. All of the mattresses in every room needs to be replaced. There was not a good frying pan to even cook an egg in. Would not rent this place again

Quiet with incredible view

I usually stay on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island. This is my first rental on the bay side and I was pleasantly pleased with the view and peaceful calming location. Keyless entry was very difficult to use when entering the front door.... My hands are large and could barely push the complex number sequence without pressing more then one button at a time. I would go here again for sure.

Delighted but Disappointed Rente

The house is at a great location and Dauphin Island is beautiful with friendly locals. But this house is very worn and not kept clean. Very few appliances were available and dishes looked as if they were saved from a thrift store.
