Very good

We had a great stay! The house was great and close to the ocean. It was very clean and had a lot of toys and games for my kids. Dauphin Island was relaxing but heads-up for anyone who has never been, if you plan on cooking shop for groceries before getting to the island.

The house was acceptable, but we killed many roaches in the kitchen. The size of the house is nice. Bedding in master bedroom needs to be upgrades due to tears in fabric.

Great time!
The place was a perfect location walking distance from the beach and the bay views. The only downfall was not having quite enough linen for a family (but the washer and dryer are great!) and the refrigerator is a little off balance but didn’t cause us any issues!great place for a family stay just needs a little updating 😊

Amazing!
We had a great 5 day stay here! Everything was amazing. There were plenty of towels blankets etc. The internet never worked for us but we were at the beach so much it didn’t matter. The house is beautiful. Great vacation house! Verizon service isn’t so great on the island. Plenty of seating in the house and on the porch! We have 5 kids and this house was plenty big enough! Loved the master bedroom!!!!

Nice house for the cost
The house was alright for what we needed it for. It was close enough to the beach to walk to, which we did everyday. The house itself is slightly outdated and there are repairs that are needed but if you are not too picky, like me, it won't bother you. Everything worked as needed.

Great getaway!
Pros: This house was the perfect size for our family. The decor was cute. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to use for cooking. The master bedroom was nice and large. We loved walking to the bay or the beach every day with our wagon.
Cons: The kitchen tiles are cracked and several people in our family cut their feet on them. Definitely not safe. The internet is slow so if you’re needing to work remotely I’d suggest bringing a hotspot.

We enjoyed the house. It was located within walking distance to the beach. It served it's purpose. Internet was a big issue or should I say the lack thereof. Furniture was uncomfortable in living room. The deck is becoming weathered. Our kids got splinters in the feet several times.

Very Nice and Pleasant
The house is amazing. Even though it is not directly on the gulf or the bay, it is very close to a free public beach. The only complaint we have is that the Dryer was not in working condition. There were wet towels, hand towels and wash cloths for about 10 people in the dryer when we arrived. This left us with no towels in the entire house! That said, the management company was quick to respond and provided fresh towels for everyone each day and offered to do our laundry at their facility if necessary. The maintenance guy was unable to repair the dryer during our stay.
Our whole family had a wonderful time and are already planning another trip to Dauphin Island and would rent this house again in a heart beat.
