Home was more cottage style and could use a few updates. Beds were not excellent but I didn’t lose sleep over it. Overall, the location was great and it served us well.

Loved it for the most part

I loved the view. It was clean. My kids enjoyed themselves. The mattresses could use some updates and the AC could use some work, the shower heads weren’t the best but other than that I would rent again!!

Perfect location

Great view of the bay and a short walk to the gulf side. The place was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was the mattresses. Like other reviews have said they are pretty bad. I’d at least recommend a mattress topper if nothing else.

It was okay for the price. I would not pay nothing more than what I paid for a 3 night stay.

Love the idea for placing your name and distance traveled but a rotary tool, wood or permanent markers were not available for use. Love the fact the water was in your backyard but wished it had a dock to walk out on.

Quiet with incredible view

I usually stay on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island. This is my first rental on the bay side and I was pleasantly pleased with the view and peaceful calming location. Keyless entry was very difficult to use when entering the front door.... My hands are large and could barely push the complex number sequence without pressing more then one button at a time. I would go here again for sure.

Great house and location

This beautiful house was in the perfect location right on the bay, with a little beach area right out the back door. And only a short walk to the Gulf. Although we didn't even go to the gulf side the whole week we were there. The beach area behind the house was perfect for the grandkids. No big waves...no seaweed and not deep until you walked way out. The area was perfect also. Not crowded...and we were there Memorial Weekend. The only traffic you have to worry about is the occasional slow golf cart. The restaurants were amazing. This was our first time coming here. And definitely my new spot.

Nothing grand about little gramd hotel

This is the first house my family has stayed at in Dauphin Island I would not recommend renting to anyone. Everything is old and outdated and needs to be upgraded. All of the mattresses in every room needs to be replaced. There was not a good frying pan to even cook an egg in. Would not rent this place again

LOVED the views! Lots of room & large deck Beach just off the deck. Beds uncomfortable & dishwasher broken. Very outdated. Air conditioner didn’t cool but part of the time but the weather was cool so it didn’t matter as much as it would have if we had been here during the hot months. Have to lift up on door to lock & unlock because it’s not level. The views & the quiet made all these issues not matter so much but I wouldn’t rent this house again in the future.

Loved the views. The outdoor furniture is scarce now. With a picnic table and 2 chairs. The mattresses were uncomfortable and the shower heads kinda sucked. But other than that we loved it. Loved being on the water. It was quiet and relaxing.

Beautiful location but that's it.

The view and location of this home was amazing. But that's it. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation this will not be it. I should have listened to some of the other reviews about that beds but though maybe they were just hard.... Definitely not the case, the beds in this property were so bad we had to go out and buy air mattresses. The furniture is not comfortable at all and the patio furniture is awful as well. I will not be staying in this home again unless furniture and beds are updated. I get that this is probably one of the cheaper properties but that doesn't excuse the awful beds. There were permanent body indents in both beds. Definitely not the "relaxing" vacation I was hoping for.

Perfect place for what you’re paying

This house is your typical, old dauphin island house. It honestly wouldn’t take much to make it sooo much better. But the cheap price easy beach(bay) access definitely outweighs the negative things. Ultimately, we would for sure stay here again because it was sooo easy with the kids. The sunsets from the deck are BEAUTIFUL! Updating some aspects of the deck would be my top recommendation. I listed some things to note below! Inside: as previous reviews mentioned, there are very minimal cooking supplies/tools. There was one knife that was *almost* sharp enough to cut a lemon. Thankfully, we went into this knowing all of that, so we packed accordingly and brought pre-cooked meals that were easy to just stick in the oven. I can’t imagine trying to cook a meal in there. There were lots of reviews complaining about the mattresses, but we didn’t find them uncomfortable at all! There are no rugs anywhere, unfortunately, to help with the sound of the floor and help catch some of the leftover sand. The vacuum is from the stone ages. A simple little vacuum would’ve helped so much - I was not about to sweep the whole house the entire week. The washer machine runs, but it definitely does not clean. Our clothes were the same as when we put them in, just wet. Outside: There is no porch swing, the deck is very sketchy in places, and there is little to no seating on the deck. All around where the bbq pit is is pretty disgusting. The hose desperately needs to be replaced!

Needs some updating

Overall the property was ok. The inside was very clean when we arrived. The following needs attention:-Mattresses on all 4 beds need to be updated.-The front door needs adjusting, sits crooked in frame enough that the dead bolt just sits in the hole. Would not take much to push the door open.-The stove needs to be leveled. Couple of burners did not fit properly in the slots.-The exhaust fan in the hall bathroom (by the 2 bedrooms) does not work at all.-The listing states there were tv’s in all three bedrooms. There is NO tv in the bedroom with the two twin beds.-There are labels on wall switches, which is great, but would be nice to be able to read them. -The pots and pans were decent for cooking. The location is nice, located in a very quiet neighborhood with a great deck and gas grill that was clean. The Gulf side beach is a very short walk up the block and across the street.

So great!

We loved the proximity to a private bayside beach, hardly any waves (great for small kids!), cleanliness and comfort of the house, and great price. The public beach was easy to walk to as well. My only complaints would be that the listing said there were spices stocked and there were none (and the only store on the island only carried giant containers of salt and pepper), and the WiFi was spotty (hard to connect to smart tv, but this wasn’t a big deal). Also, just fyi, standard baby gates won’t fit the width of the deck stairs, so plan accordingly with babies and toddlers. Other than those minor details, it was a great house and a great vacation!

We booked this house due to being just steps from the water. The beds and stove as well as the side door need replacing asap and this house will be way better. Of these things get done soon we will book this house again for next year on our vacation. Every thing else was spot on.
