Nice quiet unit

My husband and I along with our dog had a quick anniversary and new year’s celebration here. We enjoyed exploring Dauphin Island. The unit was as listed. The dishwasher was not working but Carmen had warned us about it and supplied paper plates and plastic ware so we didn’t need to wash as many dishes.

Great Find

We enjoyed our weekend in Dauphin Island! The Condo was easy to access with plenty of room to park and had all of the amenities needed for our short stay. All the lights were on and the A/C was blasting when we got there, which was nice because we got in late on the first night. The condo was clean and ready for our arrival. We were welcomed with a tray full of a large assortment of snacks which I thought was a nice touch. Easy two minute drive or short walk to public beach access. Easy walk down to Pirate's Cove Bar & Grill or the golf course. Good central location. My only criticism, which is a minor one, is that the bathroom needs updating. The shag bath mats need to go and a new shower curtain/rod should be installed. Overall, a great condo for a weekend getaway.

Smelled clean

House was clean and smelled good! The bed was comfortable and had plenty of towels. There was snacks and wine. The only con was that there was no blender and my daughter wanted to make smoothies. I bought a blender and left it there for the next renters. Overall it was a great and I would definitely rent it again!

Great place for a couple or small family.

Good location, well appointed, comfortable and clean, communication with the owner is great, very responsive. Close to beaches and restaurants, but quiet.

Excellent place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! We had a couple of questions just before and during our stay. Quick response each time! We appreciated the treats to welcome us! The cabin was clean and stocked with what we needed for a comfortable stay! We would definitely stay again!

Amazing place to stay!

Never heard of Dauphin Island before this year. Booked this place near one of our friends and it did not disappoint. The amenities were amazing, the property owner was super helpful and nice, and it was well worth the price. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a good place to stay!!

Fantastic phenomenal great wonderful

Only complaint is I’m limited to 5 stars. Exceed expectations. Every detail was attended to. The home was well equipped. We got there starving and cranky. We were surprised with a snack basket. Seems small but was extremely appreciated. She set a very high bar for short term rentals. Thank you for the experience

Cozy quiet beach house!

We enjoyed our stay at this cute little place! The front porch is a nice place to relax and have dinner. The cabinets are very well stocked with kitchen utensils/cups/plates. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch! All in all- extremely clean, pristine and comfortable. The only thing I would say is it advertises its 2 blocks from the beach…whereas this is technically true, it’s a 0.4 mile walk to the public beach parking lot and at least another quarter mile walk from the parking lot, down the pier, walking through sand bars to get to the actual beach. It’s something we should’ve researched more, just wanted to let anyone else know about it! P.S. - if you get a chance say hi to the sweet kitty on the property! What a lovely friendly cat.

Excellent stay!

Best stocked property we've ever stayed at! Set a completely new standard and this is the gold standard. We've stayed at properties that rented for almost 10X times this rental price that really cut every corner possible. Not this one. The property was also spotless and smelled great! Hard to beat this one...
