We have been to dauphin Island 4 to 5 times each time we’ve selected a different property. This one “toes in the sand” will be our go to from now on. This house is stunning and great beachfront access. Beautiful views of sunrise and sunset. Our dog really loved it too. She felt right at home. Totally love this place. Oh, and they have everything you need in the kitchen.

Beautiful location that was right on the beach. Unfortunately we paid for the hot tub use and it was not heated or cleaned. After a couple of attempts to repair, owners refunded our hot tub payment. New grill had to also be repaired. Supplies were very limited especially for eight people staying five nights. Owners were very helpful and responded quickly to our calls or texts. Owners were great to work with when having issues with the property.

Overall really good just never had the spa cleaned after we paid extra for it for the week and told the property management about it but the guy never came . And some of the pictures showed suntan chairs and under the impression we would have those and was not. We had to go buy some bc we didn’t bring ours bc we thought there were some there. And some of the kitchen appliances didn’t work and some pans need to be updated bc we did a lot of cooking and had to go buy a few pans bc a lot were scratch up and things were sticking even with oil and spray. But love location and floor plan . We had a great family get together , will definitely be back to island .

Great location
Home was very clean and property manager was kind enough to inquire if we needed anything during our stay. We needed the propane tank on the outside grill replaced and someone came by that same day. Overall great stay

Wonderful beachfront stay
The beach is amazing. We really enjoyed our time. It was a very relaxing island and we cannot wait to come back. The house was clean, kid friendly, and had ample space to relax and enjoy family time.

Perfect week on the beach
My family lives all over so to have a nice place for us all to come together once a year is a blessing for me. My grandchildren absolutely loved being right on the beach. We had great meals both cooked at the house and at surroundings establishments. We had everything we needed all in one place. It was wonderful.
