Perfect family get away!
What a beautiful vacation home - a perfect location for our extended family to gather and reconnect. We spent our days enjoying the beach, cooking together, and playing lots of games! The house is wonderfully clean, well kept, and the owner is super easy to communicate with. A gem of a vacation home!

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Harmony! The house was well equipped for all 11 of us. It was great to have everyone spread out on different floors and a game/ tv area on the first floor for the grandkids. The beach and the pool were very nice. Especially enjoyed the early morning walks watching the birds and the dolphins! Julie was so easy to work with. Gave us lots of info on the Island and was quick to answer any questions. Just a great experience!

Overall Good Stay
Location was nice. First time at Dauphin Island. Julie provided a lot of good recommendations. I do feel like there were a lot of “rules” associated with the rental (examples- how to wash the pots & pans, no food on carpet - although there were rugs everywhere - including dining room, etc.)which made us feel slightly paranoid that we were not doing everything correctly, especially since we had younger children with us. Overall the trip was good though and Julie responded promptly if we needed anything.

Three levels of living space
It was the perfect house for our large family. There was easy access to the beach, as well as the mainland via the bridge and the ferry. In addition, there were fun things to do for all ages (fishing, aquarium, water park near gulf shores and plenty of souvenir shopping). Our rental home accommodated 8 adults, 3 teenagers and a toddler. It was very spacious with 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Overall, our vacation was fun, relaxing and enjoyable,

Family vacation June 2022
The house was great for our group of 4 families. We were each able to have our own spaces and places to be together. We enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The grandkids liked the porch early in the morning and the porch on the third level was a great place for rest time. The beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and the wagon and wheelbarrow to takethem to the beach was much appreciated. We enjoyed the pool as well. The outdoor shower was great after being in thr breach. Thank for sharing this wonderful home with us!m

Change of pace and much needed
We were looking for a change of pace this year and the Harmony House was perfect. Great access to the beach and pool; as well as being close to many things, including the Ferry if we wanted to venture to Fort Morgan and Orange Beach/Gulf Shores.

Fun for all
Our group included four generations of family and everyone had a great time. Lot of spaces gave everyone room to be alone or gather as we wanted, some rode bikes, some swam in the nearby pool, and we often all ended up on the screened in porch after dinner and talked. We went to Lighthouse Bakery, the Sea Lab, rode the ferry, ate at restaurants, and read, read READ. Highly recommend!

A 5-star home and vacation
Our family had an amazing vacation on Dauphin Island. This home was not only beautiful, clean and spacious it also had all the little extras available to make it a true home away from home. Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and pool and and the most amazing private beach. Our family of 11 agreed this was a wonderful vacation and hope to return to Dauphin Island and this beautiful home.

Piece of Paradise
We loved our beach week at this beautiful home! It worked out perfectly for our family. Each floor had bedrooms so it was very relaxing and private. We were at the end of a cul-de-sac so it was quiet yet close enough to walk to the pool and beach. The homeowner provided everything from sand toys, chairs, and games to a full kitchen (pots, pans, utensils etc.). We would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous house in a great community!
Highly recommend Harmony house in dauphin island! Just minutes to the beach and community pool. Huge house with so many amenities and great indoor and outdoor space. Screened in porches on multiple levels! Great layout for 12 people to be together and also have some space when you need it. Desoto Landing community is also wonderful - private gated making the beach not crowded at all! Owner was extremely responsive - called us when the house was ready and we got in a couple of hours early! Would highly recommend this house!

Nice, family-oriented place to stay on the island
Everything you need for a week at the beach! The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet. Plenty to do around the house or on the island. Or perfect place just to relax. Owner answered questions quickly and thoroughly. Great place to come back to each year!

Amazing home!
We had a wonderful vacation on Dauphin Island. It was peaceful and very laid back! The home was gorgeous and had EVERYTHING we could have possibly needed. Right down to the bikes, scooters, wagons, and sand toys for our children! The beach and pool were just a very short walk away and were beautiful! The beach is just amazing! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home! We had the best time!

Hurricane Sally
We only got to stay 2 days, because of Hurricane Sally. Julie the owner was wonderful, her main concern was my family safety,. The property was exactly as advertised, the kitchen was well stocked. The 2nd snack kitchen was great for our hungry teen and preteens. The pool, beach and tennis court was a short walk . The bikes were a great hit with kids. Would definely rent this house again.

We had the most wonderful time at Harmony and on Dauphin Island! We had a two year old and 11 month old as well as 8 adults and all loved the home. The home was full of toys, games and books that the whole family enjoyed. Kitchen had every appliance and utensil needed that made for easier meals and snacks! The second fridge was such a help as well! Julie was always prompt and attentive as we planned trip and stayed in her home! We highly recommend this home and Dauphin Island!

Dauphin Island VRBO Gem
This property was clean, spacious, and perfectly located with respect to town in a gated community. There was plenty of room for our family of 10 and our twin boys who are under two years old had a blast as well. The property is well stocked with bikes, kitchen utensils, bath towels, games, and even a Nintendo 64. It's a very short walk from the house to the pool, tennis court, and the beach. Leave the wagon, beach chairs, pool toys, and extra propane at all because this property has everything you need. Would love to stay here again with the same group we traveled with, everyone had a blast!

Perfect covid getaway
This was the perfect spot for a socially distanced week at the beach. The hone is very well maintained, attractive, and it has lots of perks (bicycles, tennis racquets first use at the nearby court, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc.). The bra h is a short walk (and wagons are provided for getting your gear to the beach). We didn’t use the pool, but the beach was not at all crowded. Julie was a very attentive Property owner. I have zero complaints. Excellent week!

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
Our family built our Dauphin Island getaway in 2002, as a place to escape, relax, and build family memories with our own family of 3 boys. As our boys have grown (and now one two are married and we have a grandson!), we have spent many family holidays, weekends, and getaways here. Now that Steve and Julie are "empty nesters" with our youngest in college, we are spending most of our off season time here and are enjoying updating our family's home for ourselves and to share with our guests during the summer .

Why they chose this property

We love the East End of Dauphin Island for its quiet, residential feel. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac, we love the beautiful dune views and quiet street. Our neighborhood has a private community pool, private neighborhood beach access, and a tennis court. You can easily take long walks on the beach, down to the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and back to the neighborhood via the bike/walking trail.

What makes this property unique

Because this is our personal family home, it is equipped how we like it to be! You'll find lots of coffee cups (Julie prefers tea, however), dishes, and cooking utensils. The kids will enjoy the games, wagon, and big bucket of sand toys. Our home was designed to provide a comfortable main living area for gathering with the whole family, yet also provide several different 'getaway' spots such as the back deck, hammock, or 3rd floor porches, when you just need a little quiet time!
