This is your perfect beach house -- on the beach with a beautiful pool. There were 5 of us on a girls' trip -- we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Heaven! We relaxed, watched movies and enjoyed watching dolphins frolic in the surf. Highly recommended

Very nice house with great oceanfront location
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house met all of our requirements with 4 king size bedroom suites and a pool. Loved the deck facing the ocean and loved the access to the ocean. I can’t handle loading up stuff to go to a public beach anymore, so I want an oceanfront house with access to the beach. Deck had plenty of seating options for everyone, and three of the bedrooms had patio door access to the deck. I would definitely book this house again in the future.

Relaxing getaway
The property is beautiful. The location is excellent for a quiet beach vacation. Overall, the house was clean upon our arrival. The keypad did not work, but the property manager was pleasant and responsive to our call, even taking our call on a Saturday night. She was able to give us access to the key. The layout of the home is perfect for families. There are 3 bedroom suites with views of the ocean. Our family made wonderful memories there, and we are grateful for those. Thank you!

Perfect vacation!
My family of 14 stayed here for a week a d it was perfect. The house is well stocked with everything you need for the beach and kitchen. The heated pool was a favorite with the kids. Would book again if I had another large party coming to the area. No complaints at all with this property.

The PERFECT House on Dauphin Island
This was the PERFECT house for us. It's one of only a small percentage of houses on Dauphin Island that is directly on the Gulf of Mexico beach with no houses between it and the water. Standing on the back deck of this house, you're 80 feet from the water with a clear and uninterrupted view of the Gulf - it's wonderful!
The house has plenty of space with a large living / dining / kitchen area (with two refrigerators and a separate ice machine), 5 bedrooms and a bathroom with each, comfortable beds, a huge, covered back deck area (including lots of chairs and tables) with a pool. The pool gets full sun during most of the day and is shaded in late afternoon summer heat which was nice. Sitting on the back deck, the site and sound of the crashing waves was spectacular.
We also appreciated the generous supply of beach towels, bathroom towels, trash bags, etc. that often doesn't happen at other houses. Also, there were no roaches in the house which was nice (that can be a problem in some beach houses).
The PERFECT house!

Even Better Than Expected
We couldn't be happier with our stay. I had trouble justifying the cost, but when we arrived I knew that it was worth every penny. The location, beach size, accessibility and views were all the best that we saw the whole time on Dauphin Island. I was pleasantly surprised with all the baby items available, including high chairs and booster seats. The pool had a safety net around it. And there were even toys and books for the kids. The laundry is conveniently located off the kitchen, and it was so helpful. There were an abundance of beach towels and toys for use. We hope to come back again!
