Beautiful beachfront home with large rooms and fantastic deck with both sunrise and sunset views. Parking could be an issue for non-4 wheel drive cars due to deep sand at the property. Overall experience at this property was wonderful.

Beautiful oceanfront home!

This house is just lovely! The location is terrific and we enjoyed the views and being right on the water. The 4 bedrooms were perfect all with en-suite bathrooms and being separated from the main living area was great! We were very happy with our first visit to Dauphin island and would definitely choose this house again!

Wonderful stay

This property was everything it was advertised to be. Even the every day dolphin sightings. There is a need to repair some drawers and doors, but nothing that interfered with our enjoyable stay. Returning to this house is already in the works.

5 Star Stay

On Deck was an amazing place!! It was super clean and easy to find. The views were just as amazing inside as they were from the deck. We had 6 adults, an infant, and 2 dogs and we had plenty of room for all. It was so nice that each room has its own bathroom. And you literally walk out onto your own beach area. If you’re looking for a beautiful house and friendly town On Deck in Dauphin Island is your destination!!

Excellent house!

Amazing property! Beautifully decorated and well stocked. Would suggest that if you plan on alot of cooking to bring your own favorite cooking pans and appliances. The house had tons of family games and books for your pleasure. Like most beachfront houses here it had lots of stairs. These were actually quite steep and I worried about my younger grandkids navigating them but we managed. Overall one of the best vacation houses I've stayed in.

Relaxing retreat and family fun

Gorgeous property and views. Description of house is spot on. Higher end finishes that have been well maintained to date. Plenty of room for 6 adults and dogs. The kitchen is well equipped for all our needs to prepare meals for our family. Management company was responsive when called about home losing power (island issue). Will definitely be back next year. Thank you for sharing this home.

Oceanfront Beauty

Ocean front 4 bedroom 4 bath. Beautiful house. Kitchen was very well stocked. Only 1 dish towel and 2 small rolls of paper towels were provided bring your own or buy on the island. Front Deck was fabulous! We loved having a dining table outside to enjoy the view at meals. The A/C is a little tricky an we froze for a couple nights. Views were excellent but beachfront is small as water was up to the house during our stay. Overall great stay! loved

Awesome Place!

This is an Awesome Home! The layout is great - 4 suites with their own bathroom,and the bedrooms are away from the main area of the kitchen and living room which keeps the bedrooms quite. The Beds are very comfortable. The home was spotless. The cleanest Vrbo/Air B&B home we ever rented. There are new dishes/cups/pots in the home. And, they are really nice. The location is the best on the island. The home is right on the beach. Very quite location. Very pet friendly and my dog loved it there. The balcony is awesome and directly facing the Gulf. The management company is very professional. We will be back soon!

Labor Day family trip

Our second time at this property and it didn’t disappoint! Great location and well equipped for large families. One minor complaint was the air conditioner filter and grill were filthy. Could be why the front of the house had a hard time cooling. I reported the day after check in and was informed maintenance would come take care of it. Six days later it was never changed and I never received a call.

Perfect Location

The house is ideally located directly on the beach maybe 25 yards from the shoreline. The large covered porch is perfect for those who are avoiding the sand but still like to watch the ocean. The floorplan is also perfect for 4 couples as each bedroom has its own bathroom. The only detail that was disappointing was the parking. The listing advertised 4 parking spots but we couldn’t access them because of very loose sand in the approach to the drive. We sunk 2 cars and the neighboring house also sunk two cars. We were forced to park on the road. I contacted the rental agency but the problem was never addressed. Overall I would definitely rent this house again.
