A great find, but pack essentials

Our family of four (both kids college-aged) stayed here Christmas 2021. The house was amazing. Decorations were awesome, furniture very comfortable, clean, well stocked with kitchen cookware, and check in was easy. We received a code to the door the morning of arrival. The house has the bay side out the back door and the Gulf is across the street from the front door. The house is three houses from the end of the street, so the family would walk down the undeveloped beach area. Our son went about four miles down the beach one morning Huge screened-in porch to keep the bugs at bay is also a huge plus, and TVs that don’t require an IT degree was awesome. Lately it seems we land in houses with multiple remote controls. This was one basic remote with an on and off button, perfect! And the town was very low key. I recommend getting groceries on the mainland, especially spirits if you like mixers. What I normally pay $42 in Texas for a bottle was $70 on the island. $25 bottle of vodka in Texas was $50 on Dauphin. The house was absolutely perfect. The ferry ride, Fort Gaines, Lighthouse Bakery, all must-do’s. My only complaint would be with the management company who appears to be trying to save nickels and dimes. Although the house was clean beyond belief, we arrived, family of four for one week, to find four rolls of toilet paper, one roll of Scott towels, two trash bags, no Kleenex in the bathroom, three dish-washer pods in a ziploc on the counter, and no salt or sugar. Huge container of pepper, but no salt (although the owners do have a specialty spice rack that they obviously keep stocked). I understand not having an overloaded cabinet, but 15+ years of VRBO, we have always had salt and sugar and enough detergent to do dishes daily, especially a family of four. And two kitchen trash bags for a week when the house sleeps ten…crazy. For the price paid, it should have these essential items supplied. So plan to buy even the most basic of items prior to your arrival or pay a premium on the island. This isn’t a reflection on the owner or house, simply the management company. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and simply pack toilet paper, trash bags, salt, etc. Thanks for an amazing week on Dauphin Island. This is a great property.

The Perfect Vacation

We spent 17 nights in this beach house and it was the perfect vacation. Let me first say that my family has been extremely COVID cautious for the past year, we still do curbside pickup 99% of the time, so the location of this property could not have been better. It is literally 5 houses from the west end beach, which was not open to to the public yet, and miles and miles of uninhabited beachfront. We are a family of fisherman and while we didn't catch anything on the Sound side, we were able to catch enough whiting on the Gulf side to have a fish fry for seven. The fish cleaning station and outdoor shower came in very handy. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. As mentioned by others, the kitchen was well stocked (we fortunately had brought our own crock pot). There is also a love seat and comfy chair in the living room that are not pictured so enough seating for our family. We did not go out much due to COVID but did get a shrimp boil from Skinners and ordered from Island Rainbow, both very good. Unfortunately we were not able to use the screened in porch as much as we would have like due to it being cool and windy. But it was spacious and had a great view. I would definitely recommend this lovely beach house to anyone.

So relaxing

We have rented a place 5 times in the last 8 years on Dauphin Island during different seasons, this is by far our favorite, we were here for Christmas 2020 and it was so peaceful, the decks and porches that go around the house make it easy to find a place to sit and relax and avoid the wind if it’s cold and shady if it’s warm, we never ate out we planned on it but the kitchen had everything we needed, and we ran down to Skinners and got fresh shrimp and crab almost every day, the house was very clean and smelled fresh, everything is cozy and very comfortable, lots of games, puzzles, books This was the best place ever to have a Christmas vacation and the only complaint from husband and kids was that we didn’t stay longer

Loved the quietness

My friend and I stayed here the week of Labor Day. Watching the shore birds was fun and gathering seashells during our walks on the beach. But getting to the private beach was an exercise in survival, as the mosquitoes just about packed us off! A boardwalk would have been nice, but maybe you can't put one all the way to the beach. All in all, we had a great stay and got the rest we needed. Supper at the Pirates Bar and Grill was very good. We found the goat tree and Indian mounds. The views were absolutely gorgeous. I will visit again.

Awesome stay in awesome location!!

This house was absolutely perfect for our stay! I loved the peace and serenity that surrounded us. The rooms were spacious and everything was clean. There was plenty of room both inside and outside for the six of us to stretch out. Just feet away from the bay on the back of the home and the beach across the street. Having the games in the home was an extra bonus. We especially enjoyed putting together that 500 piece ice cream puzzle. It took us HOURS to complete it but it was worth it. We decided to issue a challenge to the next guests to see if they could beat our time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this home.
