Beach house

The house is very nice and clean, but did notice a few dead roaches on the floor, then the morning we left there was a live large one in the shower...may be to spray for bugs.

NICE HOUSE BUT…

WE LOVED THE LOCATION. WE STAY AT DAUPHIN ISLAND EVERY YEAR. THIS HOUSE WAS NICE BUT WE DID HAVE A FEW ISSUES. THERE ARE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE SO FOR THIS REASON WE WON’T STAY HERE AGAIN. FELT LIKE WE WERE BEING WATCHED THE ENTIRE TIME. THE HOUSE BESIDE US HAD BURNT EARLIER IN THE YEAR SO OUR SAND WAS BLACK. BUGS IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS AND THE KITCHEN. LACK OF HOT WATER IN THE SHOWERS. THE BEDS WERE SO HARD IT WAS HARD TO SLEEP AND PILLOWS WERE LIKE SLEEPING ON COTTON BALLS SO WE BOUGHT OUR OWN.

Beautiful but not worth the troubles or cost! Dont stay here!

This was a beautiful home but not for the cost we paid to have so many issues. No HOT water, NO HEAT! no water pressure and dish washer broken! I shouldn’t have to boil water so I can hand wash dishes when I paid for working amenities! And when communicating with VACASA they were not helpful. The property manager said he was getting keys and never came back or called. I really think I need to be refund some of my funds!

First property we expect to book again

We’ve rented many homes all over the country and this is the first one we plan to stay in again. The location was great and the house was just what we needed. The trip wasn’t without issues, but none were show-stoppers: We wished the neighboring house didn’t have flood lights that shined on us all night on the deck facing the ocean and ruined seeing the stars. The internet never worked and the dishwasher had an error code and didn’t work the whole week.

Clean, updated and wonderful view of gulf. Sights and sounds of the waves were mesmerizing. Large partially covered deck was great. Internet was spotty, not a problem for us. It was hard to view the TV from the couch. Definitely would stay again.

Nice and Relaxing

First time utilizing the VRBO/Vacasa system. Check in and check out went well with no problems. Nice, relaxing location. Close to the water to hear the waves crashing despite weather not always cooperating. Home was cute and laid out efficiently. Kitchen was stocked with most necessary items to keep cooks happy. Grill was old & out of propane but with a quick call, the tank was replaced almost immediately. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

The house and location were amazing. Just enough space and plenty of kitchen items. The only negative is that there is no place to hang towels in the bathrooms. The management company should have left enough soap, trashbags, etc. for the long stay.

House staging must have been a priority.

Very soundproof. Couldn’t hear others in various private areas. Best I’ve every experienced. Beds were very comfortable! Bedrooms and baths were very spacious. Plenty of room for our clothes, suitcases, and “stuff”. Shared living space was not configured well. If watching a movie together is your plan, you are not going to be comfortable in that space. Unfortunately, we had some chilly, wet weather, so watching the tv was an unplanned activity. It is advertised to support 6 people…yet there are only 7 sets of silverware. Tons of glass choices, double plates, but only 7 forks, knives and spoons, with no serving pieces. That meant we had to run the dishwasher more or hand wash silverware, all day. One other downside, which seems to be common in all of the rentals we have stayed in….there’s no place to put our food. Cabinets are all full of different options of equipment, but boxes of food had to sit on the floor. Beautiful, quiet area. We would definitely stay there, again!
