I believe this property was rated 9.6. It was an 8.6 in terms of cleanliness. Bedroom carpet was stained. Plug in in 2nd bedroom didn't work, mildew in bathrooms, and a/c filters dirty.

The condo was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Communication was great. We visited at the beginning of May - Dauphin Island was quiet and relaxing, and felt more like a friendly small town than a tourist spot. It is the perfect place to relax.

Wave Watcher is a beautifully decorated, comfortable and well appointed condo. It has everything you need to feel right at home on Dauphin Island. We have a couple of challenges with the locks but the owner and property managers were responsive and helpful in resolving the problem. We look forward to our next stay at Wave Watcher!

The only negative was that we did not receive the code to go to the pool and the beach. That gate code should be included in the guest information.
