Great family vacation

Our family of 10, 4 generations stayed in this wonderful home and there was plenty of room to be together and have some space. The property is located in the middle of Dauphin Island and accessible to everything. The area felt safe and was very quiet. Jessica was an awesome host, concerned with making sure everything was just right. She communicated effectively and responded quickly when we had a question. Definitely a great place to stay!

Beautiful, secluded cottage for a perfect getaway

We just returned from our stay at the Agape Cottage and absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is very cozy, well-appointed and has a wonderful screened-in back porch. The location is quiet and secluded, which is perfect for us. Jessica is an awesome hostess responding to any questions/concerns very quickly, as well as providing great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. So happy we booked the cottage and we will definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this lovely house.

Exactly what we needed

I can't love this enough. We didn't need walking access to the beach or a boat launch. We needed quiet time to relax and refresh ourselves, which is exactly what we got at The Agape Cottage. Jessica has thought of everything you could need. It's peaceful and welcoming. We will absolutely be back!

Wonderful cozy cottage for family getaway

The cottage was clean and in a quiet neighborhood. It came with a well-equipped kitchen, and had a washer and dryer too. We were there with our children and grandchildren and we were very comfortable. The upstairs master bedroom and bathroom are roomy and luxurious with a comfortable king-sized bed. It rained a couple of days and we were very comfortable and dry inside with plenty of space and things to do. We can highly recommend this place.

Peace and relaxation

Dauphin Island was a great place for 2 seniors who needed a break. Agape Cottage was the perfect place. Very inviting and comfortable, close to just about everything. The beds were super comfortable and the real gem of this was our host Jessica. She made sure we had everything we needed and we got to meet her. She is awesome. We will go back!

Bride’s and Bridesmaids’ Dream!

Absolutely perfect! My daughter (the bride) and her 3 bridesmaids all stayed with my mother and me the night before the ceremony. The ladies took over the upstairs to get ready for the wedding. They had plenty of room, counter space and mirrors to get even more beautiful than they already are. The back porch was a popular place with all of us, also. Will highly recommend this lovely cottage!

Beach getaway with a family of 6

We absolutely loved staying at the cottage. Everything was tidy and ready for our arrival. Our host was amazing and communicated very well. I was nervous this being our 1st timre using VRBO. Jessica completely put me at ease. We have 2 seven year olds a one year old and a 18 year old. There was more than enough room for all of us. It was very comfortable. Everything was very close in town. I highly recommend Jessica as the host as well as the property. We will return. We had a wonderful stay!!!!!!

Awesome Stay

My family had a wonderful time during our stay at Agape Cottage. There was plenty of space and beds for us all. Everything was clean and we were just 10 minutes from all of the beaches. The owner, Jessica was so helpful. She checked on us to make sure we had all we need and offered to send us a kitchen item that was missing from the kitchen. She was so kind and attentive to us. We would absolutely go back and stay again!

The home is beautiful and in a perfect location! It was very quiet but still close to the beaches and shopping. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay.
