House is exactly as described and looks like the photos. This house is very well appointed. Has everything you need. Julie has thought of everything. We have stayed at over 10 different properties throughout the southeast and this home felt the most like home. Great pool and LOVED the ice machine, we took advantage of that. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

We cannot say enough great things about this house. Wonderful space, kitchen, bedrooms, a pantry is so nice when having groceries for 6 people. Then you go outside. A private door to a deck or porch from every bedroom, a beautiful outdoor area, and a private pool. We grilled out while the others swam, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We were there during the build up of the hurricane, and the hosts were amazing at communicating with us to keep us informed of what was going on, and what we needed to do. We will look to see if this property is available every time we look to come to the island.

The home and property were very nice and great for our family to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. We enjoyed our stay very much. However, there were just a few issues with a few dishes we pulled out of the cabinets that were still dirty and a blanket we tried to use but it had something spilled on it and we had to wash it first. Other than that, the house is very well equipped with what was needed for our stay. Thank you again for everything.

Hi Brenda, thanks for your stay and 5 star review. I'm so glad you enjoyed our home. Because we supply a large amount of dishes and pots and pans for our guests, we ask that each guest wash anything they use. There is a sign in the kitchen with that notice. Sadly some guests are not as diligent as others and I'm sorry someone left something dirty before your arrival. Thanks for washing the blanket, a blanket with a spot should have been caught prior to your arrival, and our cleaning crew has been notified. If we are notified during a guest's stay we are always happy to correct anything that may need attention. Thanks again, and Im glad you had a good stay!

This house was immaculate. Clean rooms, living area, dining area, and kitchen. The pool and deck were awesome. The creek behind the house was peaceful to just sit or stand around. My wife, kids, sister, nieces, and nephew really enjoyed everything about this house. Rented my kids a golf cart to ride around the island and visit the beaches for a day and the price was very reasonable. Never knew Dauphin Island was such a gem and I grew up right on Dauphin Island Parkway. We will definitely be back! Thanks to the host for such a great stay and responding to any questions I had.

AMAZING Beach Getaway! 🏖️

Our family had an amazing stay at this wonderful home. The home is centrally located and close to everything on Dauphin Island but secluded enough to be away from bustle of tourists. Overall: an amazing beach getaway!
