We loved the stunning views from our back porch with easy access to the beach, just down the steps from the back deck. We also loved that Dauphin Island is not commercialized. No billboards, chain stores, or restaurants are allowed. We loved Pirate's Pizza and Wings so much that we ate there twice! This lack of commercialism makes for a pleasant, peaceful beach vacation. However, if you yearn for some activities to do, the ferry is a cool experience. It will take you (and your vehicle) to Fort Morgan in about 40 minutes. We did this and saw dolphins, all while enjoying the breezy ride on the ferry. Once you disembark, the ride to Gulf Shores is about 35 minutes, and Orange Beach is around 45. It's not bad at all considering that riding the ferry is like an excursion itself. Once there you can do all kinds of things. Just watch the time that the ferry leaves and ask the ferry workers how busy they expect to be. You may not have to arrive early to hold your spot.The beach was not crowded at Dauphin Island, and there were several beach chairs as well as toys provided by the homeowners. We could open our windows at night and hear the waves. However, there was no screen on the back door, and the mosquitos were everywhere, so we couldn't leave the sliding door open that lead to the beach. (Take mosquito repellant.)If you like Kleenex, there are no tissues provided, and I think you could write a letter home on the paper towels and t.p., so there's that, .No t

Our stay was fine. Elevator broke on day one but the service folks were very responsive and did what they could to have it operational by the time we left. By day three, we had palmetto bugs/ cockroaches roaming about the house. We did what we could to dispose of them. I guess it's to be expected when you're out on a sandy island.The house has a great view of the beach and easy access from the back porch, which was our top priority. We also brought our 2 retrievers who enjoyed the beach. The inside was bright and airy. But lacked warmth or any home-like feel. It felt like a rental with contractor-grade appliances and finishes. Nothing fancy. Nothing special. Just very standard fare. So if all you want/need are basic accommodations in a good location, then this house may be what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the house as well as the nearby town being void of any personality. Very generic and lacking in the little things that can make such a trip unforgettable. Not the house's fault - but this island felt more like a tourist trap than a friendly community of beach lovers who are glad to have visitors.Overall, this house was nice, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But if you factored in the additional hidden fees, taxes and surcharges that come with booking it online, I would have given it 3 stars.

The house was even better than the pictures. It was clean and well stocked. We ate all our meals on the expansive ocean front deck. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. We could easily keep an eye on our children as they played in the surf. The extra drink refrigerator, stand alone ice machine, and elevator added so much convenience. We would stay here again.

Great Beach Vacation

House is just like the pictures, very spacious and payed out perfect. Big spacious kitchen with loads of pans, dishes etc. Extra refrigerator in laundry area was nice to hold beverages or extra food. Beach is right out the back door and we took full advantage. Totally enjoyed our full family vacation( 9 adults and a 3 year old). House and area is exactly what we were hoping for, very clean. We will definitely be back.

Great location, but elevator not functional

This house is directly on Bienville, giving it an outstanding location. It is also set back far enough from the beach to prevent getting your cars stuck in sand/flooded. We had some really strong surf during our week that resulted in cars getting stuck. I also really like the concrete pads for parking. The views are great and the house is generally well stocked. Unfortunately to the downside…when we arrived at check in time, the house was not ready. The cleaner was still working. Based on what her schedule sounded like for that day, she probably needs a pay raise! No fault of her own. Then the biggest issue was that the elevator did not work. It wouldn’t go all the way down to the first level, locking it out. We knew we probably had an issue from the get go when we went to the lockbox for the elevator key and none was there. Did they already know it wasn’t working and kept the key? We booked this house specifically for the elevator as we were traveling with my elderly mother in law who can’t navigate steps well. It’s listed in the headline of the listing as a key feature, and for it not to work was a tremendous disappointment. The follow through on resolution was not helpful either. This rental is managed by Vacasa, and you have to go through their chat service. We did have a kind gentlemen come out twice the second day to work on it with no resolution, then crickets… The people who checked in today when we left will also find the same issue.

Perfect spot to stay that was a few steps off the beach. You can’t ask for a better spot to have privacy of your own beach. Perfect accommodations for a group of 12 and it has large common space for even more. Everything you need is on site and when you do need some supplies the town has some convenient shops. Great space to relax and unwind and soak away your worries.

Beautiful house, right on the beach. Plenty of towels and dishes. Could use some basics like salt/pepper, oil, coffee filters, an all purpose cleaner. Wi-Fi is spotty, but it is on an island. Elevator finicky, but if it stops between levels- just close the slider door and keep trying.
