We enjoyed our stay and appreciated how clean the property was. The property is close to everything on the island and the stairs are minimal compared to many properties. Everything in the home was well stocked. The host was great about communicating. Be sure to wear shoes as you walk to the beach as there are stickers along the walk that poke your feet.

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!

Great weekend getaway

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

As a Senior Adult, the house was great, but the beach access is not what is seen by the map. There are signs in the house to direct you on access, but that is too late after booking. The "path" to the beach is narrow and over two dunes and between other properties. We walked it once and couldn't do it again and unfortunately, we ended up going to the public beach and had to pay 10 a day to park. It would be very helpful for that to be on the listing. When you look at the map it looks close but unfortunately the path to the water is on private property. I also had to call Dauphin Island Beach Rental for the door code. We arrived at the house at 3:00 and had no email or text that day with the information needed.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, and we appreciate your feedback regarding beach access. We understand the current path may be challenging for some guests, and our team is working with the appropriate group to address the access and improve how it is communicated before booking. We also apologize for the delay with your entry instructions. A technical issue affected the delivery for your stay, but our records show our team was able to get the email to you before check-in. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention and helping us identify ways to improve the experience for future guests.
