Gulf Front, Private Heated Pool, Pet Friendly, 2 Master Suites! – Island Time IV

Island Time IV is a very popular gulf front beach house, where you can enjoy unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico! It includes 2 master suites, both of which overlooking the beach, where you can settle in to the sound of waves and wake up seeing blue sky and an gulf front view. The open plan also includes a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen that also take in great light and the beach views. High ceiling and crown molding trim out the home in an upscale finish to go along with stone counter tops and great décor.
The private pool also sits on the gulf side of the home, maximizing sun exposure and giving your that same gulf view that you are coming for. You can sit by the pool and look out on your family sitting on our white sandy beaches. If you do need a break from the sun, there is also a covered part of the back deck to take in the salt air in the shade.
There is a second-floor game room that also includes it’s own walk out deck. So many places to hang out, it is great for large groups or families with kids.
This home is pet-friendly. The pool is heated from October 1 through April 30 at no additional charge.

Pool Heating Note: Pool temperature can vary during cooler months, as the system relies on outdoor air temperatures.

perfect spot

We enjoyed our days spent here on Dauphin Island! We traveled there from Indiana to spend some time with our oldest daughter who now lives in Auburn, AL. The house was perfect for our size family and we enjoyed the porches and pool deck. Although a bit windy, we still utilized the pool and beach every day! Plan to return again for another family vacation!

Great beach house for family

We had 7 family members ranging in age from 75 to 17. We had lots of space - each couple/person had their own bedroom. The beach is right there, but we found ourselves in the pool more. Definitely would rent again.

What a relaxing getaway in a prime location. Cannot get any closer to the ocean than this. The home itself was well stocked and had everything you may need. There were minor cosmetic issues but that is to be expected in a rental. Had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Beautiful property

This is a great spot and was just as described. A few minor things need repair, the code lock for the door didn't work (but the managers were on standby to offer the lock code for a physical key to unlock it). There is a kitchen drawer that is broken, the fridge water/ice is a little glitchy and some dips/ soft spots in the floor. Enough of the negatives! The property is beautiful. Sandy shores, lovely pool, comfortable clean beds, spacious layout, extra amenities (plastic bags, etc. Highly recommend, especially for a large group. Plenty of room with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Great place, thank you so much for our lovely getaway!!

The house was FILTHY nothing like the pictures on line. Dirty sheets on the bed and towels were sour smelling....had to rewash and the dryer was not working. They apparently do no maontenance on the house....the gate going downstairs fell completely off. I could not get anyone to come out their communication was terrible. The pool could not be used because it was leaking...then pouring out of the bottom. We did not even stay the whole planned time, left 3 days early because we just could not stand the nastiness. I have attached just a few pics.

Needs Deep Clean

We arrived to find the house very dirty. Dauphin realty sent a person to reclean immediately which was nice. The living only has 2 couches that were very stained and filthy. We liked everything about the place except for the cleanliness. I would be embarrassed if it were my home.

Paying for location

Beautiful location with several issues with house. Reported light/fan not working, chair about to break, dryer sounded like a lawn mower. Deck had turned up boards and loose railings. House could have been cleaner. There was underwear on the deck when we arrived. Parking permit information was confusing - did not need a permit. Had a wonderful time at this house in spite of these issues! Beach was close & restaurants were very good. Enjoyed the boutiques. Saw dolphins almost every day. Beautiful sunrises & sunsets!

Not the best review or what you want to hear as a property management

Great location but the house needs a deep clean. The walls are all dirty and we had to buy dish soap, toilet paper, napkins and dishwasher soap. We found a bug in my kids bed plus white dog hair all over my sheets. The pool was really nice and warm and the house nice and cool. The bar chairs in the kitchen need to be replaced or cleaned, I didn’t even want to set on them, they where do gross looking. I would love to vacation at the island again just want to make sure it will be clean for the amount of money spent.

Amazing home, poor communication from Dauphin Beach Rentals

Amazing property. Unfortunately, I never received the check in code on the app at 3pm like I was supposed to. Tried to call you but it went to voice-mail. Left a message and you didn't call me back. Sent a message on the app and you didn't answer it. Luckily my girlfriend got a hold of the property owner directly and we got in. Poor communication on your part.

Beach Paradise

After 19 years of renting a home, we chose this area and home because we wanted a beach experience this year. This did not disappoint at all. It is a beautiful home with comfortable beds, great floor plan and beautiful unobstructed views of the gulf. The pool was perfect with lots of places to sit on in the water. The only issues were the very slow internet and communication with the rental company. Before we came, communication was wonderful but once we were in the house, none of our questions that were sent were answered. Luckily they weren’t too important. It was just disappointing. But all in all, this is a wonderful place to come to relax, just know that you have to climb a few steps to get into this beach paradise.

No decent pans to cook in , dish washer not working, dirty bed ,house swayed actually was moving

Bedroom down stairs leaks water in corner, the bed was nasty , house actually moved back and forth couldn't get much sleep, no pans to cook with the 3 that was there were trash food stuck to them , no trash bags to change out trash, water pressure was horrible, and drywall falling off around windows at the top there was no curtains in living room so sun would hit the TV screen and couldn't see the TV the property was beautiful the house was not kept up in decent shape needs plenty of work also the flooring in haul way is separated and ripped my sock and foot, pool people coming in during or stay is ridiculous 2 times . And people smoking out side the house on front side as they walk threw to go to the beach area the top deck railing is coming apart that's a safety hazard! Not at all what we expected for the kind of money we spent to stay there !

Pretty good

Overall I would recommend this place as we’ve stayed in several different houses along the coast over the years. This house definitely goes along with the reviews as it needs some tlc. It is showing its usage of people coming and going. It needs holes patched in the walls, painted, doors and baseboards are dinged up and dirty. This house has the potential to be amazing if someone would give it a good cleaning and makeover. The only thing besides the wear and tear that was really an issue was the heated pool was not working. We went at spring break in which it was windy and chilly most days. The management responded quickly and someone came to look at the pool. I guess they couldn’t fix it bc it never warmed up. Our kids toughed it out and played in it the best they could. All in all it’s a perfect location and a good house that just needs some attention to details. Cleaning crew could have cleaned the fridge a little better as it reeked of fish from whoever was there before us. Management offered charcoal bags in which didn’t do much. But they tried in which we appreciated. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Water pressure wasn’t very good though. I would rate it a 7/10.
