Perfect!

This house was perfect and in the perfect location! There was plenty of space for everyone which was important for us for our teenage kids. Also, being on the bay was perfect for our toddler grandson. The short walk across the street for the gulf made it the perfect location to enjoy both sides for everyone! Would definitely book again!

Great location

House is in a great location, water views from all angles and plenty of space to spread out inside or on the outdoor decks. Having our dogs with us was so fun, plenty of room to walk them outdoors as well.

Perfect Getaway

The house was one of the cleanest ones we have stayed in and we rent houses at least 7-8 times a year. The location is perfect, private beach in the back, public beach 2 min away, close enough to restaurants and stores. Beyond stocked, everything you might need, this house has. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you!!

Beautiful home, Great Views.

The home was perfect and beautiful. It was really spacious for 6 adults and 4 kids. We will definitely be renting from Vacasa again ! My only complaint is I wish the walking path down to the bay was a little cleaner and wider of a path, but other than that we had an awesome stay and loved our stay !

Vacation 2023

Loved the house. Had great views of gulf side and bay side. Had nice decks front and back. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins. It was decorated really cute. Not really a complaint but could use better cookware like skillets and storage bowls. We loved our family vacation and really enjoyed this house. My kids loved the bunk bed room. Plenty of space for our family of 9

Great time with family!

Overall it was great. Location great! Views fantastic! House needs some TLC. Cabinets in kitchen need work, door in masterbath needs work, needs new mattresses on bunk beds, need a dustpan or two, need to leave guests adequate dish towels and bath towels, No cleaning products so bring your own. Put in listing that has a grill (not sure if it works) but could use outdoor chairs. Still we had a wonderful time with our kids. We just know the extras to bring next time. We would definitely book again!

Great place to stay

We were two families, 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The house is very spacious, the room for the teenagers was a perfect size and they enjoyed the seating area and there own TV to hang out, they even had their own little fridge. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, even though pots and pans were not the best quality. The kitchen cabinets could use some little fixing. We loved the easy access to both beaches. The Bay was great for Kayaking, SUP and swimming when the waves were too high on the other side. We liked the two decks, the only little downside was, to get to the back porch you had to walk through the master bedroom. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Dauphin Island

I read other reviews about the cleanliness and it was actually clean. We saw no issues. The house is older and there are some updates that COULD be made but not necessary. The beach is accessible from the back but the trip out there is a little rough. Make sure to wear shoes until you get to the beach because there are thorns. Honestly other than that we enjoyed our stay and everything was nice. Any issues I had the hosts were accommodating and that was appreciated.

We enjoyed the location. The house is serviceable. We enjoyed the direct access to the beach.

The house needs several upkeep items to be addressed. New linens for the beds, new mattresses, a serviceable broom and dust pan, more kitchen supplies. We felt like the house was in need of some small fixes. The towels were damp when we arrived. Another set was in the dryer still wet. It was some small things like this that made our stay a bit challenging. However overall we really enjoyed Dauphin Islamd a lot.
