Everything was wonderful! The unobstructed view of the gulf is exactly why we keep coming back to Dauphin Island. Even when it rained, we could enjoy the waves from our balcony. Loved that we could bring our pup along. One of the cleanest homes that we have stayed in visiting DI. Would definitely book this one again!!

Overall good trip but, you can tell it’s a turnstile setup of get them in and get them out. Property was mostly as described but, dated in terms of upkeep. Rear deck bannister loose. Nails popped on deck floor & rail. My wife caught a couple nail heads over the week. 1.5 hours out from checkin, had to call for the code and explain I’m very capable of checking texts and no automated text was sent. Had to call cleaners and maintenance (plumbing). Issues-Black mold (not stains) in washer. Master shower drain clogged. Toothbrush holder cups with paste & spit-we washed them. Hair in master bath sink-we cleaned it. Sand in highchair-we cleaned it. Pics of all so documented. Mgmt was quick getting the washer cleaned. 2 days SunTue to snake the shower drain. Biggest concern was an old patio chair that was rusted through yet, wrapped in vinyl cord so rust wasn’t visible. The leg broke with a 5yo in it. Rusty & sharp end. Fortunately no ER visit. Overall good time. Just annoying to deal with cleanliness and old/rusted furniture at these price points. Credit card clears instantly before laying eyes on the property. If you’re spending vacation time on cleanliness and rusty furniture, shouldn’t there be a refund of the cleaning fee? Paid for it but, didn’t get it kind of thing?We’ll return to Dauphin Island. We’d even use this company again but, there’d be more communication prior and a lot less understanding and leeway when it comes to cleanliness & safety.

perfect place

We were very impressed with this place! it had the perfect amount of room for 6 of us. The decor was perfect and the beds were pretty comfortable. We loved the fact that it was literally right on the water, we were able to fish right off the porch in the mornings. The island was nice and quiet with plenty of things to do and see. This house is also close enough of a drive or walk to the public beach, where you can see some beautiful sand and sunsets. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting a nice beach get away, we will be staying here again in the future.

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize that the home did not meet your expectations during your stay. The property was recently struck by lightning, which affected several appliances at once. Since your visit, our team has addressed the appliance issues you noted, repaired the water pressure (a leak was discovered in the main water line underground that we identified after your stay), and taken care of other maintenance items, including the deck. We are committed to providing a comfortable, well-kept home and regret that this was not reflected in your stay. We hope to welcome you back so we can provide the quality of experience we pride ourselves on.

Absolutely perfect

The house is fantastic and perfect for our family of 5 adults and 2 children. The waves washed up under the deck creating such a wonderfully relaxing sound all day and night. Blue bubble jellyfish were washed up in troves and were interesting to see. There gated deck was perfect for our dogs and kids to be outside safely. The house was just perfect. We would love to stay again.

Great location

Property was exactly as advertised. Great location and right on the water. So peaceful hearing the waves all day. Only complaint is the condition of the cookware. We eat all meals at the unit. The cookware was in terrible condition. Pots and pans appeared to be 10 years past their useful life. Other then that everything was great.

Loved waking up on the sea!

Beautiful place and extremely clean. Very thoughtful regarding the little extras-soaps, shampoos, feminine products in case they were needed. The only recommendation I would make is more seating in the living room and lounge seating on the deck.
