Wonderful home. Loved the front patio.
Stayed here with our 2 dogs. Really loved the home and the property. House was clean & well stocked. We spent a lot of time on the front deck / porch. We have been coming to Dauphin Island for about 20 years and, for the price, this would be the first place we would want to stay in the future. There is not a view of the beach but for that you would spent 3x more per night. The beach and everything else you can need is just a short drive away.

Perfect place
This is the perfect house on Dauphin island. It is in the wooded area but nice and private. The home had a bathroom for every bedroom and an unending supply of warm water (which is really nice for sand removal ). Perfectly cleaned. We ended up needing an extra night and was able to stay. Everyone was wonderful to work with. We will defiantly be staying again.

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay in DI and can't wait to come back! The house was very nice and convenient. The only drawback was that the floors could have been cleaner. I understand that the brick floors downstairs are hard to keep clean but there were piles of sand in the upstairs carpeted bedroom, which did not appear to be vacuumed. Other than that, our stay was fantastic!

Dauphin Island Getaway
We enjoyed our stay in Dauphin Island. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. However, the property did not fully meet our expectations. Being this is a vacation home with various renters and is dog friendly, by no means is it expected to be perfect. Upon arrival we noticed a stench coming from the sink that did not go away, so I called property management and they were quick to respond and had maintenance come out and fix the issue. Someone had put a piece of chicken with the bone in the garbage disposal. Additionally, there was a set of blinds missing on a window in the main sitting area, countertops were left dirty, bathrooms were not fully stocked (missing hand towels and bath mats). The flooring was tile and was very slippery when getting out of the shower. The property would definitely benefit from some updates as well. In general our stay was good and management was attentive at responding.

Great house and location. Island is better than expected.
We loved our stay. The house is clean and close to everything. There are three beaches near the house. It was easy to get there and property had everything you needed. Great house!
