Beach view was beautiful. Being a little further from the beach, however the closest you can be at that point on the island, allows you to see more of it. The oil rigs offshore didn’t bother me and were interesting especially with their dim lights at night. The outdoor pool was large and fun for the family as well as the indoor pool. Both were comfortably heated. Getting around the property was easy and the walk to the beach was beautiful and enjoyable.

Our hosts were excellent communicators and very helpful with our questions about the area. As soon as we secured our reservation, they were sending us emails about things we needed to know about the condo and local attractions. They respond to texts very quickly. We really appreciated that.We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It was my wife and I plus our four adult children. There was plenty of room for us. We did some of our own cooking while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. We always ate out on the balcony where there was a table and seating for all of us. We spent a lot of our time at the beach, which is a short walk across the dunes via a boardwalk. There is a beautiful walk along the shore to the east that leads to a small inlet where there are many birds - it would be a great place to kayak.I highly recommend this condo. We'll be coming back.

First of all, our host was by far the best host we've ever had!She went far beyond any expectation! So accommodating to us!We are older and wanted a Christian womens retreat for the 5 of us. This did not disappoint! It was fabulous.Clean! Comfortable and tastefully decorated and the balcony was perfect!Dauphin Island is a lovely get away! Such friendly people. We loved Islanders restraunt, but if you don't mind going 10 minutes away then try Pelican Reef! Best seafood anywhere nearby!There were thousands of love bugs in the pool. And they really needed to clean that. I had to ask one day and the next had to ask again.But that is not the hosts fault. It is expensive to take vacation and the pool should be clean at all times.We will go back every year and maybe more!Can't say enough how much we loved it!Thank you Susan!

We liked everything about this place. The condo complex is well laid out with easy access to the condo unit. It was so convenient for loading and unloading. The new beach boardwalk was wonderful as well as all the other amenities. Our condo unit was beautifully furnished and very well maintained. It had everything we could possibly need and want. It was very comfortable with a beautiful ocean view. The large outdoor balcony was great. The owner, Susan, made everything easy and was always available by phone and email. We will look forward to returning hopefully soon.

Relaxing vacation on Dauphin Island

I think that this is the most relaxing vacation that we have taken in quite a while. The condo was probably the best we have ever stayed in at the beach. Everything was great, from the early available check-in to the day that we checked out. The condo was well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items and having beach towels and beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, and a cart to haul it in) was a great plus! The owner was responsive and called to make sure everything was going ok. I would definitely stay here again and would tell all of my family and friends about the property.
