Very short walk to beach and beds were very comfortable the host are splendid in if you have a problem they answer quickly and the enclosed porch made for a great place to eat and socialize
The rental was perfect! Very clean, comfortable beds, even great water pressure (always a thing). Great location and very accommodating. Communication with management is super easy. Best vacation rental yet
The house made it feel like home I almost thought we knew the family. The house was very roomy and so close to the beach! They also gave good suggestions! Would 100% stay again!
If you want to enjoy some beautiful, relaxing time on the beach, this is the place. We comfortably cooked meals, including charcoal grilling, walked to the beach (the wagon was SO HELPFUL) (brought or own charcoal and lighter fluid), and slept well. The outdoor shower after the beach is the best!
Second time at Dauphin Island. Ate locally, sat on the beaches, too a ferry to Fort Morgan and drove to Pensacola for a day trip. Had a great top time. We were only here for 4 days, already planning a longer visit in 2026
We had a wonderful stay! My husband’s family, who are older, especially enjoyed gathering to cook and then dine together on the screened-in porch while taking in the beautiful sunsets.
I have stayed at this location for the last few years over Thanksgiving. The hosts are quite responsive to any inquiries. I enjoy the layout and convenience for myself and my son as well as the affordability of the property. It is easy to walk to the beach and the walking trail.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house was within walking distance of the beach. Our street and neighbors were quiet. The house was well stocked. We felt there was plenty of room to relax. The owner was kind enough to reach out after a stormy night to make sure the power was still on and everything was ok. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely rent again.
