What an amazing experience! I would give the host 6 stars if I could! She was incredibly responsive and so incredibly kind. They wanted us to have the very best experience and that meant the world to us! The huge back deck was a dream! It was also the backdrop for an amazing view from the gigantic kitchen counter as we were making dinner. My husband and I love to cook, and the kitchen was very well stocked! Go to Bayou La Batre, buy fresh shrimp off of the boat, and BBQ it on the kettle grill. Bring your bikes because you are minutes from the west end beach and the private beach across the street. In fact, we biked from end to end of the island. We didn't even need a car. Even during "busy season" the beaches are incredibly beautiful and bare. This house was the PERFECT foundation for the PERFECT vacation spot.

You and your husband are the kind of guests we would like to "clone" -- enthusiastic, considerate, took great care of the house. Thanks for the 6 star compliment. My response is if I could give you 10 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat!! It is gratifying when guests love SeaDream as much as we do!! Not only did you totally enjoy our deck, huge kitchen counter, views, etc. but you enjoyed the great vibe of "Dauphin Island" itself. Folks like you "fit right in" - we look forward to you coming back again, any time, any season!

House is located on Mississippi Sound; super calm and shallow waters. Perfect for our kiddo and dogs. House is well maintained and comfortable. Short walk to gulf side beaches, can see them clearly from kitchen window. Dog friendly to the max. Was in for Thanksgiving week so limited options on restaurants and activities but sooo quiet and peaceful! Trips into Theodore for supplies/pharmacy not bad at all.

Gulf beach, dog friendly. Leashed if not swimming.
Happy camper.

Great Stay

Location is great, close by the beach, and property manager had excellent communication. Not as many items within the house for children under 2 (high chairs, cribs, etc) but they told us ahead of time so we had everything we needed for the stay.The back deck is great for outdoor meals and kids have room to roam and play. Our kids loved the bench swing! We’d stay here again.

So glad to hear that you, your wife and your young toddlers enjoyed your vacation at SeaDream! It's nice for little ones to be so close to the calm waters of the bayside, while playing in the "white sand" on our private beach! Oh yes, the swinging chair on the deck is a lot of fun. Also I hope you felt comforted that the deck has a solid latch and gate, so liitle ones can't get off it easily! Thanks for taking good care of the place, and PLEASE DO come back again!

This place is amazing. Kitchen had everything we needed, the bay access is so great! We fished every evening and enjoyed GORGEOUS sunsets, nice walks through the neighborhood, Gulf access across the street. The home is very well appointed, clean and tasteful. The host, Deborah, was timely, responsive, and available when we had questions. Overall, this place was perfect for my husband and our fur babies. Will definitely be back again! Thank you for a great time!

We are so pleased when guests like you enjoy what's unique about SeaDream! You really took advantage of our amenities, closeness to the bay and the Gulf access. Of course being dog lovers, we are so pleased that your "fur babies" enjoyed it too. You and your husband are the kind of guests we LOVE to have return again, and again. Thanks for taking great care of our property.

Great quiet area with private beach. Sweet bungalow with every thing a person could want/need. A quick walk takes you to the big beach for some boogie boarding. Loved our stay. Deborah the manager was great. Asked her before we left if the cottage had a blender. We get there & she had a Brand new blender waiting for us.

Property was exactly what we needed for 4 adults. It was close to water on both sides. The picture on the front page was not what we had-there is no longer a deck or beach chairs, which would have been nice, though we didn't really need them as we brought our own chairs.Property was in ok shape.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2026
Joan, glad you enjoyed our proximity to the water, We verbally discussed why that large deck board pictured on the front page is no longer there--- because a bad storm lifted the deckboard and cast it into rocks and a concrete wall, breaking it. I am posting this response so others can see what happened. Anyone reading this please know that is a picture of the lower back yard, steps from the gulf. Now, folks are simply carrying chairs down to the same location and enjoying the same lovely view. And, the huge double deck on the back of the house is of course intact, and perfect for waterviews.
