Visiting the Sassy Seagull has become a family tradition. We love the quiet beach and the layout for everyone to have their own space. We plan to book another stay next year.

Stunning

This house was amazing! It was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was completely stocked with anything you might need. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms were so nice. We loved the huge deck and lounge chairs and rockers. What a great way to start and end your day watching the sunrise and sunset.

Awesome Property

We've stayed at several different properties on Dauphin Island and this was by far the best maintained and it was extremely clean. The living room was a little small especially for larger families but it is manageable. I would definitely stay here again.

Great visit despite weather changes.

The beach house was very nice and Vacasa was very responsive when the weather changed abruptly and we needed a technician to come and check the furnace. Lovely decor, and even better views!

Wonderful view

Clean, updated and wonderful view of gulf. Sights and sounds of the waves were mesmerizing. Large partially covered deck was great. Internet was spotty, not a problem for us. It was hard to view the TV from the couch. Definitely would stay again.

Beach Beauty

This home was so lovely and was so immaculately clean! Everything was perfect for a relaxing, beautiful beach getaway! The beach is literally right outside your door and how wonderful to hear the fabulous waves! The kitchen had everything needed for wonderful meals and how wonderful it was to sit outside on the balcony to eat our meals and look at the beautiful ocean! There is no other house in front or behind this beautiful home and that is absolutely fabulous for the views and the privacy!

Beautiful

The house and location were amazing. Just enough space and plenty of kitchen items. The only negative is that there is no place to hang towels in the bathrooms. The management company should have left enough soap, trashbags, etc. for the long stay.

Lovely House

This house has wonderful beach access, is well equipped, and in a great location. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice, and the outdoor shower a convenient addition. If there is any drawback it is the small shared living space which is not at all comfortable for watching TV. All bedrooms do have tv, however. I've stayed here for two consecutive years and will probably go back.

Nice and Relaxing

First time utilizing the VRBO/Vacasa system. Check in and check out went well with no problems. Nice, relaxing location. Close to the water to hear the waves crashing despite weather not always cooperating. Home was cute and laid out efficiently. Kitchen was stocked with most necessary items to keep cooks happy. Grill was old & out of propane but with a quick call, the tank was replaced almost immediately. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

First property we expect to book again

We’ve rented many homes all over the country and this is the first one we plan to stay in again. The location was great and the house was just what we needed. The trip wasn’t without issues, but none were show-stoppers: We wished the neighboring house didn’t have flood lights that shined on us all night on the deck facing the ocean and ruined seeing the stars. The internet never worked and the dishwasher had an error code and didn’t work the whole week.

Wonderful

Wonderful stay with in-laws. Right on the beach and the view can’t be beat. Each room has an en-suite and a toilet by the front door. Neighbors have no concept of personal space, though. Will use your beach space if they want and let their dogs poop and not pick it up. Being so close to neighbors is the only negative. There was no heat so we had to buy a heater to warm our in-laws. They have pretty much everything you need minus a few paper goods and cleaning supplies. The water pressure is awful! Don’t expect any kind of pressure-you’ve been warned lol. But the view makes up for it ! You’ll see dolphins and OMG there was FOX that came up to us and seemed so tame. I’ve never petted a fox so it was a dream come true. I do recommend this rental!

Comfortable home in a great location.

The house is lovely, with great beach access. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Very tastefully decorated. The only things folks should know is that the communal living space is fairly small, and watching TV in the living room a bit awkward and uncomfortable; and the deck overhang is not deep and does not provide complete shade if that is a priority.

NICE HOUSE BUT…

WE LOVED THE LOCATION. WE STAY AT DAUPHIN ISLAND EVERY YEAR. THIS HOUSE WAS NICE BUT WE DID HAVE A FEW ISSUES. THERE ARE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE SO FOR THIS REASON WE WON’T STAY HERE AGAIN. FELT LIKE WE WERE BEING WATCHED THE ENTIRE TIME. THE HOUSE BESIDE US HAD BURNT EARLIER IN THE YEAR SO OUR SAND WAS BLACK. BUGS IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS AND THE KITCHEN. LACK OF HOT WATER IN THE SHOWERS. THE BEDS WERE SO HARD IT WAS HARD TO SLEEP AND PILLOWS WERE LIKE SLEEPING ON COTTON BALLS SO WE BOUGHT OUR OWN.
