Had a wonderful time at the property. Outside patio and grill was great. House was clean as described. Only downside was absolutely no cooking utensils or dishes

The stay was great. It’s a precious house. It’s well worth the great price…The check in process was stressful and booking through VRBO and then having to jump through hoops to prove my identity with Vacasa and them sending me an email that they’ve canceled my stay when I was already there, then getting the wrong code from the person I sat on hold with for an hour, then having to call back while my kids stood outside getting eaten alive by mosquitos was terrible. I then received an email about a stay I booked in Las Vegas which was inaccurate… check in took about 4 hours after arriving. It was not an easy process.

Great location, house needs updated

Loved being in a quiet neighborhood. Loved being close to the golf course. The outdoor kitchen/grilling area was great. Nice to have an extra fridge.

Great Location

This house is in a great location. It’s has plenty of room for a family. Definitely needs some attention to the outside landscaping both front and the back. The inside was clean for the most part, but needs a deep clean of baseboards, light switch covers, walls, doors, doorknobs, etc. The beds, floors, and furniture were clean. The outdoor shower was a fun surprise! Other than the few things mentioned, it was a great house and contributed to a fantastic weekend! Thank you!

Definitely Not Perfect

This house was okay, and that’s it. We have stayed at much nicer homes on Dauphin Island and paid significantly less. Cons: The backyard was an overgrown mess. I spent about 30 minutes sweeping pine needles off the deck when we first arrived so we weren’t slipping on them. The landscaping was just not good. I know this isn’t exactly something that can be helped, but the mosquitoes ATE US ALIVE, even with a fire, tiki torches and bug spray. The blankets provided were very thin, stained and ripped. The sheets were constantly sliding off the beds. The bed frames were cheap and squeaky. The propane tank was empty and we didn’t feel like going through the hassle of getting it refilled like we have in the past, so we did without. The fire alarms flashed an obnoxious light, we covered them with tape. Kitchen stove was greasy, not well cleaned. The refrigerator in the kitchen did not get very cold at all, we had to put a lot of our groceries in the outside fridge. The dishes and other kitchen supplies were gross. Carpets felt kind of sticky. Found decaying bugs in the corners of the bathroom. There is one TV in the whole house, that is in the living room and it is quite small for how far away it is from the couch. Pros: Good size driveway for parking several cars. The neighbors directly across the street were very nice. Lots of towels were provided. There’s lots of space in the living room. Love that there were not cameras, like some other properties that make you feel watched all the time. The kids loved the basketball hoop, and that there was a basketball provided. Overall, we weren’t impressed with this house. The condition of everything needs attention. Also, not sure why it’s not pet friendly, given its condition. We regret staying here, not only because of the high cost, but because it just wasn’t comfortable. I don’t like giving bad reviews, but I would have liked to have known some of this before I booked it.

The floors were not clean i swept them upon arrival and there was trash under the furniture and the backtars was unkempt. We cleaned up debris and started burning it so we could enjoy the yard.The gas grill was broken my spouse had to repair it for use.

Great place for fishermen!

Very practical, especially great for those going fishing. There’s a skinning table on the side of the house with a sink and water hoses all around for washing off the boat. We enjoyed the gas grill on the back patio and the extra outdoor fridge was perfect for our drinks and other items. 3 minutes from the boat ramp and plenty of room for a family to stay. Would definitely stay again in the future. There’s a basketball goal which was fun, so bring a ball!

First time visitinf Daulphin Island.

House was great, but would have liked minimum supplies provided for cleaning and washing towels and dishes. :) The back yard was grown up and a bit of a mess. It was not terrible, just not manicured like listed in photos when we booked. Main kitchen light panel does not work, so it was dim and hard see when navigating the kitchen and preparing food.

Quick Birthday Get Away

Very clean and affordable with a variety of beds. House had everything needed. Beautiful outdoor area. Lovely plants in yard. The back deck was large, but back yard was a bit over grown. A lot of potential with the back yard area. Only one tv for the entire house, but we didn’t watch much tv. Water hoses, outdoor shower and sink available that helped wash sand off. Definitely worth the price.

Great Home - Central Location

Whispering Palms is a great central location and easy hop to any beach or local food. Neighborhood is quiet and the back yard is like a secluded oasis. While the home was stocked with the bare basics, it lacks the personal touches we’ve experienced in other Vrbo homes. There were no matches or fuel to start the fire pit (and the wood was left in the pit, so it was damp from rain), there are no spices aside from salt and pepper, and there wasn’t a single pen/paper or recommendation of island locations to visit. If you are looking for a house to stay in, this is great! If you are wanting a home to stay in, this misses the mark. We loved Dauphin Island and would easily go back. We would even stay here again; we would just bring more with us!

We loved the home, especially the patio area and fire pit, where we spent most of our time when we were there. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

Laid Back and Comfortable

My sisters and I used Whispering Palms for our annual getaway and were very pleased with the choice. Dauphin Island is a relaxed place, especially in the off-season, and this house was a budget- friendly choice that still felt like a fun splurge. A few nitpicky issues (igniter on the grill didn't work, ice maker in fridge got clogged) but nothing that couldn't be worked around and nothing that significatly impacted our stay. We really enjoyed all the space in the house and the firepit and outside kitchen in the backyard. An exterior sink and fridge are a huge plus for prepping the fresh seafood that's abundant in the area. Local businesses, like the bike rental, are very accommodating; our bikes were delivered and picked up from the Whispering Palms driveway. Plus the house is an easy ride to the East and West ends of the island. You get all the fun of the beach without the hectic Gulf Shores atmosphere.

Perfect

This was the perfect house for our short getaway. Only issue is the smoke detectors have a flash that is super bright and annoying when trying to sleep but overall it’s a nice place.
