This was a good property to stay in. Our first time visiting the island. Great bay front. Some of the stuff is out dated. Overall, me and my family had a awesome time. It has enough space to accommodate 8 people easy. Rooms had a lot of space. The porch needs to be updated. My son cut his foot on a nail going to the bay. The dish network goes in and out. But the stay was great. Everyone was nice. I would stay again in the future. But some of the things that need to fixed is the big tub up stairs is coming apart. But if you can deal with the little flaws it would be a great place to stay.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of room. The location was amazing. We loved just walking off the back deck to the beach. We had a wonderful time and hope to go back in a few months.

Great time!

We had a great time. This house slept all 7 of us comfortably and the commons areas are spacious and comfortable. Dauphin Island is a fun, laid back, beach experience. The bayside waters were calm and warm and the west end beach is just a couple of minutes away. We’ll be back!

Nice Get Away

The house and room sizes were nice. We needed a little more seating in the living room, but we just brought in chairs from the dinning room. We enjoyed the views from both decks. Overall we had a nice vacation on the island.

Good place to stay.

The only thing I would fix is to have staff to make coffee. Because if you are coming in late and have not went to the store yet. maybe some little big pan. It's was a very beautiful quiet and roomy. I will rent it again.

Loved the location. The home was perfect for our group. We loved the peaceful setting.

We so enjoyed it. Windows need replacing. The upstairs master bath is very rotten around the inside trim. A lift on the outside for luggage, etc would be wonderful. We would come back.

Perfect beach vacation

We had 9 people in our group, 6 adults and 3 teens. The house fit us all very comfortably. The beach was right out the back door! I found more shells and beach glass on our section of beach than I did anywhere else we looked. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The only issues we had were that there were no spices or anything for cooking, not even salt and pepper, but that's not a big deal, just something to be aware of. We would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dauphin Island is the perfect getaway beach destination, especially for adults and families who don't need entertainment other than the beach itself. The island doesn't have any of the tourist traps offered up at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, which is where we've previously vacationed. And no traffic, at least in the off-season.
