Fantastic stay, great location, perfect house for our large 4 family group, the owner was helpful and fast to respond to any questions. We swim everyday, grilled out, fished, relaxed, and made lots of great memories.
Spacious accommodations for everyone. Three levels with den on all three. Sparkling, cool pool to swim in and a nice long dock down to the Old River. Guys enjoyed fishing from the dock and I enjoyed the view from the swing.
Wonderful stay, 12 members of the family, no problems, plenty of space. The kids loved the pool and sand. Nice to be in gated community, very well kept neighborhood and secure. Lots of privacy.
So nice!! The pool was outstanding. The dock with swing was great. We caught fish and also lots of crabs.
AC was very cold which is always a plus. The pool table was nice. We had several tournaments. The kitchen had lots of pots, pans, utensils. I would highly recommend this property.
It was a wonderful experience. Plenty of room, a great location, nice and efficient owner. The house has been used over the years and shows its wear and tear. Would probably stay again IF the carpet was replaced with tile or some other pet-friendly surface. Dock was nice for our own boat. Didn't catch much fish, but it was a blast cruising around and visiting the different eateries and bars.
Great for Large Group & Short Stay - Updates Needed!
This property has an amazing location, outdoor amenities and also perfect size for a large group! The pool and hot tub are great additions to the property.
We stayed shortly after a hurricane swept through and destroyed the dock/boathouse. Would have been even better if that was accessible, but understand the circumstances with the repairs :) The property manager was great about notifiying us about the status of certain rooms due to the hurricane damage.
The house is the perfect size for a large group and kids - two masters on the main floor with large bedrooms upstairs and downstairs.
However, we ran into several minor issues. We booked this home specifically over Thanksgiving and purchased ALOT of groceries to cook. Thanksgiving morning we come to find that the oven doesnt work (turns on but doesnt heat over 200 degrees). I notified the property manager and was told to use the Conventional Bake setting, but that didnt work either. Luckily we had some food to cook that did not require an oven, but we were unable to cook our turkey and a few other casserole dishes. It would have been nice to know in advance about the oven so we could make other food arrangements or book an alternative property.
The sink disposal also didnt work, flooding the sink on multiple occasions during clean-up, so that probably needs to be replaced as well.
The refridgerator shelves were constantly falling off if you placed items on them also.
Commuincation with the property manager was great - almost too communicative. When I didnt pick up the phone immediately after notifying them about the oven (I was outside), I was called four times in a row and then asked for a different contact number for not picking up immediately on Thanksgiving day.
We did misplace a few items after departure, and the property manager was very helpful in trying to find them.
Overall we had a wonderful time at this property, but wouldnt want to stay longer than 4 nights. The rental rate is good for the size and location or the property, but it seems that the house is bound to fall apart / need several repairs after a few more VRBO stays.

We were not advised that the oven was not working. Upon inquiring previous tenants just said they used the Convection setting on the Oven which is still working although it will be repaired 12//14 along with the sink disposal that was not brought to my attention previously either.. Cleaning people stated it was working. One bedroom was damaged during the Hurricane and ceiling was replaced, room painted and new mattresses were brought in. Tenants were advised of Hurricane damage before arrival. Roof damage which does not affect the house now is on waiting list as is repairs to the walkway to the boathouse and boathouse.

Family Vacation
Let me start by saying the house was big enough for the 15 people. Plenty of room. We had a great time but I was disappointed how the house looked. It was clean but very outdated. The home needs to be updated. All furniture didn’t match and couch had a cover over it. You could tell that it really needed to be replaced. Home needs a paint job. You could see paint pilling all over the house. Carpet needs to be replaced. One bedroom up stairs had carpet taking out and the plywood floor painted. Looked cheap. had 2 hot tubs neither one worked when we first got to the house. The manager said someone would be out 2 days after we arrived to repair one hot tub. They did get one hot tub up and working but honestly the hot tubs needs to be replaced neither control boards worked and one hot tub has so much silicone on it it was funny. Walk boards to boat dock had a lot of loose boards. One window on the house looked to be broke and they had plywood over it. Outside Landscaping was not keep up. There use to be a small fish pond in front of the house. It’s all grown up. We stayed for 7 days and on the 6 day we had someone knock on the front door. It was the power company leaving a tag saying please call us with concerns of your account. We did make it work for us. I feel for the price it was to much for what we received.
We really enjoyed the property, especially the dock for fishing. The pool was also great, and when there was a problem with it caused by an abundance of rain, the owner was very responsive and got the problem fixed as quickly as possible.
The owner is a bit rough around the edges and is not good at preparing people for her requirements to stay at the property. The house is well equipped and perfect for a very relaxing vacation. The overall maintenance of the home is not great but the pool and hot tub were awesome and the dock is very nice and offers great fishing for red fish and sea trout which we caught many. Overall I highly recommend this property but if you're hoping for the Taj Mahal you'll be disappointed !
Great stay, property was clean, comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. The boat dock was a huge plus. Good communication with owner, any thing that need attention was taken care of promptly.
Ono Island has a great reputation. However, this rental property could use some care. Could not enjoy the view of Ole River because of overgrown landscaping, blocking the view, also overgrown around the pool area. Pool was nice, home was clean. I would suggest bringing extra towels, wash cloths or you will be washing a lot. Difficult communication with owner especially coordinating preparation of documents needed to access island. Overall, stay was good and relaxing and great access to several public beaches, restaurants and travel to Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Perdido Key / Pensacola.
Great location. Quiet and a short drive to the public beach
The property met our needs. The owner was available and responsive. There we a few issues in need of repair that didn't meet the stated description. some were resolved or improved during the stay, others were still ongoing. I would recommend this property overall. Hopefully those issues will be resolved.
This house is beautiful! Very big for a big family we had a total of 18 people. Ages from 9 months to 43. There is lots of room for everyone! The pool is nice needs a couple updates the pool lights for night time swimming didn’t work but made it work. Hot tub is great it’s in an awesome location! Volleyball area really was clean enough to play but with all the storms and stuff it was understandable.
The kitchen has everything you need! A couple things to know if your renting it’s on a private island and if you need WiFi make sure to bring a hotspot it says internet but there definitely wasn’t enough for everyone and with kids for night time movies and stuff you will need WiFi. Also if you have small kids baby gates would be awesome there are lots of stairs. Over all I’d definitely recommend this place and the owner was always available she was very accommodating and friendly!
This home has a perfect setup for a large group. The location is close to everything and the Pool, Hot Tub and Dock are great. I would recommend renting this home.
Nice property, could use some updating but given the state of ongoing post Hurricane repairs at other homes in the area they have done an excellent job. Amenities were nice and the owner is terrific. Would stay again if bringing a large group.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Ono Island home. Plenty of room and plenty of things to do. Whether playing pool, swimming, fishing off the dock to relaxing in the Spa tub etc, it was pleasant and entertaining. Loved it!

Beautiful Area and View! Fun Place
Great location on Ono Island with nice dock which is great for fishing or a boat. Large Home can accommodate several families. Could be fabulous with some updates and new furniture. Pool needs immediate attention and has a torn liner. Home needs a deep clean. Very Expensive for condition. Owner was very accommodating and replied very quickly.
