Perfect family get away!

What a beautiful vacation home - a perfect location for our extended family to gather and reconnect. We spent our days enjoying the beach, cooking together, and playing lots of games! The house is wonderfully clean, well kept, and the owner is super easy to communicate with. A gem of a vacation home!

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Harmony! The house was well equipped for all 11 of us. It was great to have everyone spread out on different floors and a game/ tv area on the first floor for the grandkids. The beach and the pool were very nice. Especially enjoyed the early morning walks watching the birds and the dolphins! Julie was so easy to work with. Gave us lots of info on the Island and was quick to answer any questions. Just a great experience!

Overall Good Stay

Location was nice. First time at Dauphin Island. Julie provided a lot of good recommendations. I do feel like there were a lot of “rules” associated with the rental (examples- how to wash the pots & pans, no food on carpet - although there were rugs everywhere - including dining room, etc.)which made us feel slightly paranoid that we were not doing everything correctly, especially since we had younger children with us. Overall the trip was good though and Julie responded promptly if we needed anything.

Three levels of living space

It was the perfect house for our large family. There was easy access to the beach, as well as the mainland via the bridge and the ferry. In addition, there were fun things to do for all ages (fishing, aquarium, water park near gulf shores and plenty of souvenir shopping). Our rental home accommodated 8 adults, 3 teenagers and a toddler. It was very spacious with 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Overall, our vacation was fun, relaxing and enjoyable,

Family vacation June 2022

The house was great for our group of 4 families. We were each able to have our own spaces and places to be together. We enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The grandkids liked the porch early in the morning and the porch on the third level was a great place for rest time. The beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and the wagon and wheelbarrow to takethem to the beach was much appreciated. We enjoyed the pool as well. The outdoor shower was great after being in thr breach. Thank for sharing this wonderful home with us!m

Fun for all

Our group included four generations of family and everyone had a great time. Lot of spaces gave everyone room to be alone or gather as we wanted, some rode bikes, some swam in the nearby pool, and we often all ended up on the screened in porch after dinner and talked. We went to Lighthouse Bakery, the Sea Lab, rode the ferry, ate at restaurants, and read, read READ. Highly recommend!

A 5-star home and vacation

Our family had an amazing vacation on Dauphin Island. This home was not only beautiful, clean and spacious it also had all the little extras available to make it a true home away from home. Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and pool and and the most amazing private beach. Our family of 11 agreed this was a wonderful vacation and hope to return to Dauphin Island and this beautiful home.

Piece of Paradise

We loved our beach week at this beautiful home! It worked out perfectly for our family. Each floor had bedrooms so it was very relaxing and private. We were at the end of a cul-de-sac so it was quiet yet close enough to walk to the pool and beach. The homeowner provided everything from sand toys, chairs, and games to a full kitchen (pots, pans, utensils etc.). We would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous house in a great community!

Highly recommend Harmony house in dauphin island! Just minutes to the beach and community pool. Huge house with so many amenities and great indoor and outdoor space. Screened in porches on multiple levels! Great layout for 12 people to be together and also have some space when you need it. Desoto Landing community is also wonderful - private gated making the beach not crowded at all! Owner was extremely responsive - called us when the house was ready and we got in a couple of hours early! Would highly recommend this house!

This property was clean, spacious, and perfectly located with respect to town in a gated community. There was plenty of room for our family of 10 and our twin boys who are under two years old had a blast as well. The property is well stocked with bikes, kitchen utensils, bath towels, games, and even a Nintendo 64. It's a very short walk from the house to the pool, tennis court, and the beach. Leave the wagon, beach chairs, pool toys, and extra propane at all because this property has everything you need.

This was the perfect spot for a socially distanced week at the beach. The hone is very well maintained, attractive, and it has lots of perks (bicycles, tennis racquets first use at the nearby court, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc.). The bra h is a short walk (and wagons are provided for getting your gear to the beach). We didn’t use the pool, but the beach was not at all crowded. Julie was a very attentive Property owner. I have zero complaints. Excellent week!
