Beautiful house!!

This is our first time staying on Dauphin Island. We will definitely be back to stay at this house. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were super comfortable. The view from the back deck was breathtaking. We watched the sunrise every morning and sun set every afternoon. We loved that we could walk down the stairs and be a couple of steps from the ocean. This house is by far the best place we have ever stayed at.

Best Location Ever!

First, so disappointed in Vacasa. I downloaded the ap, emailed them 3x regarding - does the house have a pack n play, beach chairs, kids sand toys and EZ Up. I received no response, so I called. The representative read the online amenities (I already did that, alot of times the houses have these things but are not listed) So I was told they did not have these items. They did not have a Pack n Play, but did have EZ up (6 of them), pleanty of sand toys and amazing beach chairs. This would have saved a lot of space when packing. Second, we arrived and found 2 beach towels only for 9 people. The online amenities stated they provided beach towels. I called Vacasa and they said they do not provide towels for the beach. I asked them to look on the site. The rep said she would call the local manager and see what could be done. A lady brought beach towels and stated that she was not housekeeping and should not have to be delivering these, and they do NOT provide beach towels. She stated she was a manager and this was not her job. Kind of a rough start. Vacasa you can do better. Now the Good Stuff!! This house is amazing. Our favorite place was the deck on the back. It is half covered so provided shelter from the sun and there was always a breeze and beautiful sunsets. We ate every meal on the deck. It is also a great place to watch kids play in the sand, read a book in the shade or sit in one of 6 lounge chairs in the sun. The location on the beach of this house is sooo convenient. You are literally on the water. No hauling beach toys and chairs. You are right there. You can get a break under an EZ Up or just sit under the house and enjoy the breeze. The outdoor shower was so convenient. The layout is perfect for a large group. There are 2 sitting areas for people to spread out and read or nap while others watch TV. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of pots and pans to cook for a large group. All appliances worked great. As others have stated, do your grocery shopping before you arrive (the store on the island has limited items) We cooked all but 1 meal due to having small kids. The washer and dryer were so helpful in keeping towels clean and dry. I would highly recommend this house and would love to return. Dauphin Island is a great family vacation spot with white sand and clean water. I recommend the visiting the aquarium.

Loved everything about this property! Great layout for families and right on the beach—doesn’t get better than that. Watched marine life from the amazing deck. Get instructions for how to access the TV (our only issue) and you will love every moment at this property!

Perfect for family

The house fits the description perfectly. Our family - with 3 small children, 2 adults, and the grandparents- thought the house was perfect. We prefer to cook and eat at the house primarily. The kitchen had everything that we needed. All the appliances worked great. This was our first time to Dauphin Island and we loved how friendly everyone was. We didn’t have to contact the property manager for any reason. The only concern would be if you were handicapped or can’t handle a lot of steps- though all houses in this location have steps up to the house. We went first of April… not super warm but still very enjoyable!

Cattleman’s convention in mobile

We absolutely loved our stay at 5’O clock somewhere, it was perfect the island, the privacy, the food, etc. we stayed here while in town for a convention in mobile and it was perfect for us, the drive to & from was 45 minutes but was an easy ride that seemed more like 30. We will definitely be staying here again when we aren’t in town for anything and can spend our whole trip there at the house & on the island.

Everything we need

The house was perfect and the view was beautiful. This house was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. It has the perfect porch for sitting and listening to the waves. We even saw a few dolphin. The beds had nice, comfortable mattresses. The tv in the living room is huge. This made movie nights fun for everyone. It was a wonderful, relaxing week. This house had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again.

Stay on the Beach at House

The house was somewhere we would like to stay again. The outside needs a little paint job, but the inside was great!! There were a few bugs found inside the house, but that is probably pretty normal for the season. We did have dryer issues, but when I called the order in, it was taken care of before 12:00 p.m. We did enjoy our stay and looking forward to another stay soon!

This vacation has been a long time coming… And it was everything that we imagined.

ON the water

The house was spotless. Furniture was clean, including the patio furniture; rooms were comfortable, deck is huge, including a covered section. Have you seen listings that say "steps to the beach," but really you should bring some hiking shoes? Not here. The waves came within 20 feet of the home's pillars. No dunes to walk over, no boardwalk - the house is almost in the water! As for the area, despite this being Spring Break week, the beach was fairly empty. Granted, the weather was a bit nuts (68-73 degrees, a stiff wind, torrential rain, high surf & riptide warnings) and the roads flooded . . . but still. The empty beaches were nice. Speaking of flooded roads - if there's significant rain in the forecast, bring an SUV with some ground clearance. As first-time visitors to Dauphin Island, we're not entirely sure we'd return. The water was brown during our stay - not like the Caribbean-blue waters we've seen on the panhandle, for example. We couldn't tell whether it was because of the torrential rains, or if that's the norm. The oil & natural gas rigs offshore took some getting used to, but weren't a dealbreaker. Dining & groceries were somewhat limited, we thought, as compared to the Florida panhandle or even Gulf Shores. As my wife put it: If we could transport this house . . . When you go, be sure to take the car ferry to Gulf Shores. There's lots to do there, but the ferry ride is its own reward.
