    Everything was wonderful! The unobstructed view of the gulf is exactly why we keep coming back to Dauphin Island. Even when it rained, we could enjoy the waves from our balcony. Loved that we could bring our pup along. One of the cleanest homes that we have stayed in visiting DI. Would definitely book this one again!!

    While the location can’t be beat, the house definitely needs a refresh. When we arrived the house wasn’t very clean. There was a waterlogged granola bar and paper towels on the deck, the grill was unusable (I ended up cleaning it myself and seasoning the grates after burning off stuck on fish and removing fishing lures from the side table). Also, the countertops were not very clean either in the kitchen. Instead of waiting for the cleaning crew to come, we cleaned it ourselves, because we were tired after a long drive. The pots and pans are teflon and extremely scratched. The cabinets are very worn and some pieces of wood breaking off. The door to the laundry area wouldn’t close because the machine had moved too far out. The decking and stairs have extreme wear as well. Finally, the house was struck by lightning on our last night. We left early because we weren’t sure when the ac would be fixed. The mgt company had been very communicative but never checked on us even after I left a msg

    First time to the island, Listing was exactly as described. .The view from the deck accompanied by the sounds of the waves crashing were amazing. The best part is being able to walk down to the beach, right from the back deck, I would highly recommend anybody who hasn’t been to this island to visit. This is a hidden oasis on the Alabama shore!

    The host were responsive and made the booking fairly easy. Had to setup a account on a 3rd party to sign the rental agreement which I found to be a pain. The property was GORGEOUS and location was perfect. My biggest complaint was the bathroom had mildew/mold in it as did the washer. Also, the bedding didnt appear to have been cleaned as there was make up on it. I messaged the host and they said they’d let the house keeping supervisor know. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware. Love Love Love the location!

    Our family stayed at this beach house in May. Overall this was a wonderful stay, the few issues that we had were communicated and rectified timely. We even saw some dauphins and lots of bird watching to keep you entertained.
    The decks were very nice and can fish off the first deck. Highly recommend this property and would stay again.

    We were very impressed with this place! it had the perfect amount of room for 6 of us. The decor was perfect and the beds were pretty comfortable. We loved the fact that it was literally right on the water, we were able to fish right off the porch in the mornings. The island was nice and quiet with plenty of things to do and see. This house is also close enough of a drive or walk to the public beach, where you can see some beautiful sand and sunsets. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting a nice beach get away, we will be staying here again in the future.

    Nice place, can’t beat the gulf-front location and decor is very cozy. Pretty good kitchen if missing a couple things and beds were comfy. Be aware of potential street flooding which is fairly common during storms or strong south/west winds on this far west part of the island, but I would definitely stay here again.

      Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home’s cozy atmosphere, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and, of course, the unbeatable Gulf-front location. There’s nothing quite like waking up to those beautiful beach views!

      We also appreciate you mentioning the occasional street flooding during storms or periods of strong south and west winds. As you noted, this is a natural occurrence in some areas of the island during certain weather conditions, and we appreciate you sharing that helpful insight with future visitors.

      Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We’re thrilled to hear you’d stay here again, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Dauphin Island for another relaxing beachfront getaway!

    Greeted upon arrival because of unusually cold weather just to check on everything in the house, which was great and we were even let in early … so kind and welcoming ! House is well suited for our family of 5 and pet! The deck is simply amazing !!! Sunrise and sunset views are gorgeous! Walked to public beach for exploring and even enjoyed bay side too for walks! Beds are comfy, showers (each room is basically a master) great little kitchen stocked well and room to cook – really cannot find any thing to complain about! House is exactly as listed and easy helpful communication! We enjoyed our Christmas here!

      Awake on the Gulf has a driveway that will accommodate two cars. After storms, gulf front driveways will sometimes get sanded over. If that happens, you would park on the court street until the driveway can be scraped.
