The location, the beach view and beach access were perfect. The kitchen floor was not clean when we entered. Listing that beach towels and umbrellas are not provided would be helpful.

We really enjoyed the house for our two families. The view was great. We liked the extra space in front of the house - perfect for setting up our volleyball net. The ice machine was as great as we hoped it would be. The washer and dryer was really great too.

Had a wonderful time staying here. The view was incredible and we loved having our coffee on the deck listening to the waves every morning. The ice maker was also an added plus. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were plenty of towels which was a nice surprise. We will definitely be back.

Quiet and peaceful stay

Great house, great view of the beach. Need a curtain in the Queen bedroom, sunlight really streams in and room gets hot. Wish there were more comfortable deck furniture and a nice table to eat outside. Overall, we had a great stay and house was comfortable and loved the beach and loved the quiet.

This is our 2nd time staying in this home!! Great location right on the beach great for little ones! This will be the last year we will stay in this house due to one of the bed room use to have bunks with full size bed and now it’s twin bunk, which I was not aware that it had changed! Great house tho we will be coming back just getting a bigger house with a pool ☺️

Perfect vacation!

Our whole family of 9 enjoyed our stay here! The closet off the Master bedroom was absolutely perfect for setting up my grandson's pack N play for his naps and overnight sleeping. The kitchen was very well appointed and I didn't even need to use my things that I brought along just in case. The only item I wished for was a pizza cutter! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! ❤️

This is our second time staying at this house and both times everything was perfect! The house is right on the beach and supplied with everything we need and more! I did have to call the property office upon arrival and never received a call back. Luckily we were able to resolve the issue ourselves. We love the house and will definitely be back.

I'm sorry the office did not call you back. I know sometimes the office is out helping guests and ensuring the properties are ready for new guests. I will advise the office to check all messages that were left so we don't have this happen again. I'm glad you enjoyed the home. I absolutely love it there. Thanks for choosing DIBR.

Perfect place for family vacation

There were 5 adults and 4 children (5, 4, 2, & 1) in our party. This beach house was perfect for our family. We had plenty of room. The house is right off the beach/gulf. Beach access is perfect and only steps away from the house. The view is gorgeous. We saw dolphins and many varieties of birds during our stay. The kids collected lots of seashells. There were boogie boards, chairs, and lots of sand toys stored in the room under the porch. We hope to return again one day and would recommend this stay to anyone we know!

Great location

The house has a great view, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, and a great deck. It’s a short walk to the water, which was great for our family, with elderly parents. There was a hiccup checking in with the PIN code door lock, but management was quick to address the issue. We did not have internet the first day but it was due to a storm a week prior to our visit, which they also addressed quickly. Please note one bedroom does not have a closet. If you’re staying for a week it may cause an issue.

Knee Deep Stay

The property was great for our stay. A snafu with the entry code upon arrival was less than ideal but once we called and reached the management, it was quickly taken care of. The location was fantastic and the island as a whole was great for our week there with family. Clean, comfortable home. Loved the ice maker and the solar lights for entering after dark. A cutting board on site would have been helpful. We also washed the windows ocean side upon arrival as they were dirty on the outside and cleaning them gave us a much better view of the ocean which was righ outside the door!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the island. The house is so close to the Gulf that it causes salt to deposit on the home's surfaces, including the windows. It is so hard to keep them clean. Maybe we can get the cleaners to wipe them down right before they complete the cleaning. It may help, at least when guests first walk in. Thank you for choosing Dauphin Island Beach Rentals~DIBR

Perfect beach vacation getaway

This was our family’s first time on Dauphin Island and we loved it! The house was perfect for us, had everything we wanted & it has amazing views of the ocean and we loved the large outside deck. For those new to the area- highly recommend big grocery shopping before you get to the island (there are lots of choices in Mobile); for there is one small local grocery store on the island. Also, be cautious with little ones in the ocean on Dauphin Island- we found many spots that had partial/broken wood beams, barnacles, and even wires & even rebar in the shallow parts of the ocean, where I’m assuming houses or piers used to be. Regardless, I loved the VRBO experience and this rental company has a really easy to use & very informative portal that made the booming and payment experience amazing! We will be going back to this house in our future, for sure!
