Great location

The house has a great view, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, and a great deck. It’s a short walk to the water, which was great for our family, with elderly parents. There was a hiccup checking in with the PIN code door lock, but management was quick to address the issue. We did not have internet the first day but it was due to a storm a week prior to our visit, which they also addressed quickly. Please note one bedroom does not have a closet. If you’re staying for a week it may cause an issue.

Perfect place for family vacation

There were 5 adults and 4 children (5, 4, 2, & 1) in our party. This beach house was perfect for our family. We had plenty of room. The house is right off the beach/gulf. Beach access is perfect and only steps away from the house. The view is gorgeous. We saw dolphins and many varieties of birds during our stay. The kids collected lots of seashells. There were boogie boards, chairs, and lots of sand toys stored in the room under the porch. We hope to return again one day and would recommend this stay to anyone we know!

Knee Deep Stay

The property was great for our stay. A snafu with the entry code upon arrival was less than ideal but once we called and reached the management, it was quickly taken care of. The location was fantastic and the island as a whole was great for our week there with family. Clean, comfortable home. Loved the ice maker and the solar lights for entering after dark. A cutting board on site would have been helpful. We also washed the windows ocean side upon arrival as they were dirty on the outside and cleaning them gave us a much better view of the ocean which was righ outside the door!!

This is our second time staying at this house and both times everything was perfect! The house is right on the beach and supplied with everything we need and more! I did have to call the property office upon arrival and never received a call back. Luckily we were able to resolve the issue ourselves. We love the house and will definitely be back.

Perfect beach vacation getaway

This was our family’s first time on Dauphin Island and we loved it! The house was perfect for us, had everything we wanted & it has amazing views of the ocean and we loved the large outside deck. For those new to the area- highly recommend big grocery shopping before you get to the island (there are lots of choices in Mobile); for there is one small local grocery store on the island. Also, be cautious with little ones in the ocean on Dauphin Island- we found many spots that had partial/broken wood beams, barnacles, and even wires & even rebar in the shallow parts of the ocean, where I’m assuming houses or piers used to be. Regardless, I loved the VRBO experience and this rental company has a really easy to use & very informative portal that made the booming and payment experience amazing! We will be going back to this house in our future, for sure!

Had a wonderful time staying here. The view was incredible and we loved having our coffee on the deck listening to the waves every morning. The ice maker was also an added plus. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were plenty of towels which was a nice surprise. We will definitely be back.

Great stay

My family really enjoyed this house and location. It was very clean and spacious enough for our group of 11. The ice chest was really a nice feature that we used daily. Our only concerns were a couple of the mattresses were not that comfortable (the bunk room and the room next to it) and the master and bunk rooms were very warm. We had many encounters with wildlife, both good and bad, that we will remember forever. My mom and I watching dolphins while having our morning coffee was my favorite part. Thank you so much.
