HGTVチャーミングアイランドコテージ-プライベートプール！

Thank you Connie! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and our home!

Thank you Desiree! I'm so glad you had a wonderful visit. We love our location too ---- close to everything but also feels worlds away!

I'm always saddened as a host to learn that a guest did not have a 5 star experience. You are correct in that there are not many shops on Dauphin Island, but that's an easy Google search for future guests to make sure that if shopping is on their list there are enough. We have such cute stores - Hippie Fish, Happy Octopus, 2 art galleries, the gift shop at the Aquarium , Dauphin Island Trading, Beach Planet, and the Silver Pearl to name some. Our Ship and Shore is not to be missed - a classic island grocery store that carries just about everything! As for check out instructions, my phone history shows we spoke by phone on the night before departure , a time I always call guests to make sure that they do the few checkout things required - garbage to the street, dishes and towels washed (or running in washers) and to see how their week went. I don't recall that you mentioned any problems with the stay at our home. With people coming in the next day, it's the only way we can offer the amenities we do and make sure that you can stay until 10 and new guests can arrive at 4. I am not showing any additional text messages, phone calls or messages through VRBO to you, though there is a list on the bulletin board. As other reviewers note, we are very responsive to our guests and yes, we like to check in with the guests in our home prior to departure. We do appreciate you trying our home and Dauphin Island.

Thank you Justin! You figured out our secret! Close to everything but just far enough away!

Thank you Jill! It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope you'll return soon!

Thanks, Teresa, for your review and for taking such beautiful care of our home. We can't wait to have you visit again! Julie and Steve

Amelia, thanks so much for your kind words and for choosing our family's home. It's important to us that our home is your "home away from home" and I'm so glad you had a great stay! Looking forward to having you return!

Thanks for your stay Jeri. We actually have 4 private sleeping rooms, as we describe the 4th bedroom (private with door) as out theater/gameroom which also has the full sized bed. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

Nancy, so glad you had the best vacation ever in our home! Hope you'll come again! Julie

Thank you Tim! I'm so glad you had a great stay!
