Excellent! The house was clean, well stocked with kitchen needs and linens. The pool and deck were perfect with shade and sun and a beautiful view. We will definitely stay here again. Perfect set up for multi family stay with kids.

Best House EVER!

We have rented 20 plus beach houses over the years and Family Tides is by far the best we have stayed in. The kitchen is better equipped than any other and the furnishings are just right for a family. We had 4 kids 3 years old and under and the porch was the best playpen for safety and fun. I am actually afraid to post this review because selfishly I want to keep it a secret. The rental agents were always available for questions. I called them 6 times before we arrived and they were always friendly and happy to help. We had a great vacation. Thank you!

Peaceful

Plenty of games Storm came in with main TV down- did not get repair done for remainder of our visit. Pool was used a lot by kids. Construction site was not cleaned up- lots nails and wood in sand I let them know- but no one came to address.

Amazing Vacation

This is our 1st time at Dauphin Island and it was amazing! The house was clean, had fully stocked pans/cooking utensils, beds slept great and the beach is right there. I do wish there was beach chairs (hard to bring chairs too on a long trip) there and maybe a table, downstairs, for BBQing.... Would have made everything perfect

Great but...

Fantastic, breathtaking

We stayed a full week and enjoyed every minute. The beach was wonderful. The space under the house was great for the kids to play. This kept them out of the sun and they were still able to be outside. The house was very well equipped. There is a grill under the house for grilling fresh seafood. I can not say enough good things about this house. If you want relaxation without the commercial feel, this is the island for you. We cooked every meal at the house. No need for eating out. But there are a few cute places for a quick snack too! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Clean and comfortable

The house is right on the beach. With the door of the deck open, one can hear the waves all over the house... fantastic. The kitchen is one of the best stocked I've seen... needs scissors though. Extremely spacious, clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. Plenty of closet and drawer space in rooms... need hangars. Would be perfect for two families with kids. Beds are comfortable. Sofa is perfect for lounging. It was a great weekend.
