This makes the 2nd time I have stayed in this house, it needs some repairs and you should bring supplies such as toilet paper and garbage bags but over all we love staying in this house.

The location was great! Beautiful views! The house needs alot of renovations! The fridge door didn’t seal. Missing laundry door, one of the bunk beds was held up with wood blocks. Couch needs to be replaced. Back deck needs to be replaced a lot of loose boards.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and the view. We hope to welcome you back soon.
Our family really enjoyed our time here. BUT, there are items that need work. The main couch in the den is broken and you sink down. The refrigerator could use some work with the handles. Shower door needs to be worked on but those are minor (except the couch) and we made many memories!
My goal was to take my niece on a relaxing trip by the Gulf where we could just sit and relax or walk on the beach, this house helped me accomplish that mission. The unit was clean and had all the equipment needed for morning coffee and fixing meals. Sitting on the deck with the constant waves was relaxing and walking up and down the beach was wonderful with the other visitors all being very friendly and respectful.

We had an amazing time! The location was perfect as were the accommodations. I had some questions about the weather system coming in and she went above and beyond to assist me. We would rent from them again!
We loved the location and the home overall. There was deferred maintenance and needed better cleaning. Loved the property managerger

Overall great experience! Love the location, right on the beach!!

Thank you so much for staying with us and letting us know about the towel rack! We put in a work order to get that fixed! Thanks again for staying with us! ~Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)
Loved the property! Probably the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. Check in code and information are through the property manager's website and not through VRBO, so not as smooth and seamless as through the VRBO app. We got the security/check in code late (as we saw in a previous review). But we LOVED the property and Dauphin Island! We would stay again!

Thank you so much for staying with us! So happy you liked Rainbow's End. I am sorry you had to wait on the code, I know people are ready to get in when they get here and our system does have about a 10 minute delay. We are rolling out new locks (about 15 so far) that will allow us to send codes out in advance of your stay. Again, appreciate you staying with us, and thank you for the feedback. Safe travels to you, Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Broken back door, mouldy shower curtains, drain stoppers and bathroom closet ceiling, no batteries in remote. Broken refrigerator drawers. Couch is also broken. Trash left between houses, and grills had leftover food in them.
We enjoyed our stay. We arrived about 2:45 and we were able to check in a little early. We loved the convenience of being able to fish off the deck. Everything was as described except neither of the grills worked. We had planned on grilling hamburgers. The back door handle would not release the latch plunger so we could not open the back door. This happened Easter Sunday and we were leaving Monday. We hated to call maintenance on Easter Sunday. I did let them know when we checked out. We would stay here again!
