"Nice view of the beach. It was a LONG walk to our room from the elevators. We definitely got our steps in, since we were on the complete opposite end of the bldg. Studio Apt was nice but exactly that. If you need space amongst your party this isn't the rental for you. It was very clean and fully stocked of any appliance you might need.

"Perfect!"

Beach Front Dauphin Island - Large Condo Sleeps 6 Dauphin Surf Club

10/10 Excellent

"Rhonda, host, was great, she was responsive to the questions we had(even the silly one). Condo was super clean, very roomy with plenty of comfortable furniture and beautiful decorated. There was also a closet full of beach chairs and toys available for use, such a nice extra, especially if you don’t travel with all the “beach stuff” like we do. Downstairs full time resident was lovely and so understanding of our littles above her! Condo grounds and outside of bldgs. were adequately maintained and pool was wonderful. Boardwalk to beach was in excellent condition and was super nice not to trek so far in the sand, great bonus. Would definitely stay again if the opportunity presents."
