The view is fabulous from almost any spot, in the condo. The six of us enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is great and has everything you need. We went and got fresh shrimp and lobster and cooked a low boil. The dining table is nice and comfortable. It was nice having the laundry room, with beach chairs, toys, and tarps. The balcony was very spacious and accommodating for all of us.
It would have been nice to have another chair or longer couch in the living area, so everyone could have watch a movie together.
Parking is great, right outside the condo door. No long walks carrying in groceries or luggage.
We took advantage of the hot tub and both swimming pools. They were clean and enjoyable.
It is a bit of a hike to the beach, but it's beautiful once you're there. White powdery sand and a relaxing atmosphere.
There is a gift shop, and a couple of walk-up restaurants right across the street, if you don't want to load up in the car. I recommended calling ahead for other restaurants on the Island, as a few were closed, had different hours than listed, or had a wait list.
Be sure to take a drive around the Island from end to end (awesome hidden beach on the West side).
We have visited Dauphin Island several times over the years, and this was our first "Condo" experience. I would definitely recommend it.
