Great dog friendly place to stay!

Dauphin pod was a great dog friendly place to stay for my husband and I. It was centrally located on the Island. The beach was about a .5 mile walk so I would suggest taking a little wagon to haul your beach gear. It was very clean and had all the essentials! Communication with the host was very quick.

The trip to the beach is far with a lot of stuff, but you can make a few trips. Worth it if you are staying all day. House was cute, clean, and everything is very close. We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was very quiet and clean.

Relaxing & Peaceful

The owner paid great attention to personal details for not only myself & my spouse but also our 2 dogs. It was very pet friendly space. The house seemed secluded even though there were other houses around. The beach was close by along with everything else on the island. We were able to relax without having to worry about anything. We will be going back!

Lovely and quiet location with beautiful and well appointed rooms

This is a beautiful and comfortable place to relax and reconnect with the one you love. We really enjoyed the quiet location but still only minutes from beautiful beaches and lovely wooded walking trails. Very pup friendly. They really thought of everything. So easy to just unplug and enjoy the island vibe. The firepit and grill are a great way to enjoy the cooler evenings. We look forward to staying here again.

Perfect getaway

The Dauphin Pod was a perfect long weekend getaway! Great neighborhood that made walking to the beach easy, fantastic biking and the Pod had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. During the rain the covered breezeway was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and reading and was also great for morning coffee. The kitchenette with the air fryer and nice refrigerator/freezer made meals easy. The overall attention to detail made it such a comfortable stay! I will definitely be back 😊

Nice & quiet

A nice little one bed & one bath spot for couples. Liked the fire pit and grilling area. Landscaping needs some work and recommend leaving more firewood for the fire pit. I think it would be a good option to include the golf cart as an option when booking or include it in booking. The surrounding neighbors don’t bother and it is very quiet. The bikes are a nice option as well.

Definitely Recommend

We stayed at the Dauphin Pod for a week and had such a great experience. The place was very clean and tidy. We could tell they paid attention to every detail. Even down to dog treats and a little dog towel for the pup! They had everything there you’d need: coffee, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, laundry detergent, charging station, map of the island, little stickers for the Dauphin Pod, and even a golf cart you could rent for a very reasonable charge. I loved the outdoor area as well! Everything was so pretty. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone.

Great Place!

This is a lovely, efficient place. My husband and I stayed there, and we elected not to take the dogs - I’m glad we didn’t because of the stairs, but had we taken them, they would have LOVED that the owner left treats for them! Even though we didn’t use the fire pit - and I was DYING to try out that stove I’ve been wanting to buy! - the s’mores are such a thoughtful touch! This place has everything but a stove/oven; it is so well outfitted! Thanks for everything, especially making our first trip to Dauphin Island feel like we were coming home!
