Great, relaxing week

Fully & nicely stocked kitchen. The host was generous with supplies. The house was clean & comfortable. The dock needs some TLC, but we were able to fish from there. We saw dolphins and some crabs. If you’re concerned about windows without blinds, this home may not be for you. During the day it’s great seeing out the front & back. However, at night it can be a little unnerving. We loved having our coffee on the back porch! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Nice House But…

The house was nice and really clean. There were several maintenance issues that need to be resolved though. If you are planning to fish from the pier, know that it has no lighting, the boat lift doesn’t work (which we needed due to the water being rough), and it is missing boards and damaged on one side. There also are no chairs, water toys, or beach items of any kind that you usually find at rental home. We did enjoy our stay but would have enjoyed it more if these items had not been an issue.

What a week at the Chic!

My husband and I absolutely loved this house. We had plenty of room for others, but needed this time for ourselves since we were celebrating our 26th anniversary. We sat on the covered back porch with coffee, fished off the private covered pier, and walked along the bay looking for shells. We had perfect weather! This cottage is a perfect getaway. If you fish and you do not have a boat it is very shallow here. I wish it had been a little deeper but that did not prevent us from giving this place five stars. We will definitely stay there again. Oh, and no grill, but we carried our own small griddle and bought grouper and shrimp. Dockside blackened shrimp didn't disappoint either! Wonderful place and pretty private except for neighbors working the crabs but that was rather interesting in itself.

Great time

The sunsets were beautiful as well as the sunrise, beautiful scenery and very comfortable place to stay. Will definitely stay again, will bring a boat with a smaller draft, the water is pretty shallow at the dock. But had a great stay

The house was very roomy and comfortable, the beds were very nice, it was very well stocked with necessities. AC was excellent, no issues cooling the house. Kudos for the SPOTLESS condition of entire house, especially bathrooms and laundry room. Very well done. Will definitely recommend.

Nice property, well furnished. Little bit of ways from the Gulf; right on Bay side. Golf cart rental made getting to Gulf beach easy. Quick response on maintenance call for slow draining tubs. Good vacation, recommended.

Wonderful Vacation Spot

We found the property in a really nice neighborhood, very clean and quiet. The home was decorated very beautifully and comfortable. We could see the bay from our back porch and enjoyed early morning and late evening relaxation. Gulf beach access was a short 5 min walk. We felt very comfortable and safe there.

What a Great House!!

We really enjoyed our first vacation in Dauphin Island and staying at this house! It was very clean and beautifully decorated. There were ample towels and blankets to go around! All appliances worked and there were plenty of games to play in the hall closet. The porch was wonderful for after dinner ice cream, and the dock was great for many days of fishing. We caught lots of fish, mostly croaker and a very large red fish! We truly appreciate the restaurant list and the noted stars were helpful when deciding on food. The Bike Rentals on your fridge were great too! Very affordable and super friendly!! What a great time we had and look forward to our next trip to Dauphin Island!!

Perfect

The house was clean and very spacious. It was so quiet and we loved that we could walk out the back door and be right at the water. There was plenty of space to cook and more towels in the bathroom than we needed for the week. We had everything we needed away from home. The beds were comfy and so peaceful to sleep with the sound of the water only a short distance away. We will definitely stay here again when we visit again.

Perfect house with easy access to bay and gulf!!!

This was our 2nd time staying here. Love this cottage and was SO happy to see that there has been some freshening up with paint inside and out. Plus new faucets, etc. if you are looking for a small, quaint place to stay on D.I.? Consider this …

Wonderful, as always!

We absolutely love staying in this house! It’s so perfect for our 4 and 5 year old being on the bay side. It’s also perfect with the dock so we can fish right off of it. Will be staying here again!!

We loved the quiet location of this VRBO. Very private and peaceful. If you’re looking to relax and unwind with no one bothering you, this is your place. Kids friendly and so many fun things to do on the island, even in the winter months.

We liked the location. It was convenient to go anywhere on the Island. Also a nice short and clear path to the pier and water.
