Amazing property and view

The house was really nice. We definitely spent more time outside than in. It was nice having the big patio facing the water and the private access to the beach.

Perfect Honeymoon spot

My wife and i wanted a nice quiet stay with a breath taking view and we got just that. Very quaint house, very minimalistic, but well spaced out. Private beach on the bay side and minutes feom everything.

Rebecca M.

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.

Midway to West end beach or East end boat ramp/ferry. We like the private beach area facing the bay view. House is nicely furnished with the comfort of home. Will highly recommend to others.

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!

This home was perfect for our family to enjoy a long weekend!! Lots of space right out front on the water. The sleeping spaces had an extra door to close for more privacy and quiet. Great rent!!

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.

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.

Elvenia L.

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.

Cute and cozy

We stayed for 4 days/3 nights - super cute, very cozy, perfect location.. steps to the water and small bay-side beach, quiet, and clean. We plan to come back and stay here with our kiddos soon. One down fall- beds are not comfortable AT ALL. Otherwise, we loved it!

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.

Overall great house! Did have issues with the air and fridge but reached out to management and someone was sent but unfortunately things were not fixed before we left. There was also a glass coffee table in the living room which isn’t ideal for little kids but even with that I would gladly stay at this property again!

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.

Delighted but Disappointed Rente

The house is at a great location and Dauphin Island is beautiful with friendly locals. But this house is very worn and not kept clean. Very few appliances were available and dishes looked as if they were saved from a thrift store.
