Beautiful home and area. One concern is the flooding of the driveway from all the rain. House was great and the Gulf was out the back!
April D. says
I can’t express the gratitude we have for our host, great communication and Terri. We came a day early and I called on our way down, instead of messaging and Terri answered, to my surprise, I was expectingan answering machine or auto service. ( awesome to speak with a live person)
Terri was able to get us in a night early, and then our schedule changed again, l and we needed to extend our stay, she was able to take care of us again, along with a discount that we wasn’t expecting, on both the add on nights. Much appreciated!
The house was amazing, right on the water, beautiful views. clean, everything we needed for cooking meals.
Location was perfect to restaurants & sight seeing.
We come to Dauphin Island twice a year, my dad lives in Theodore AL, across the bay. This is by far the best AIRBNB we have stayed in by far, we will be back.
Thank you, we had great time at your rental!
We highly recommend your Airbnb
Debbie B. says
Fantastic location and view! The house was clean and comfortable. Our family of four and puppies had plenty of room to relax! Four stars on listing accuracy just because the pictures need to be updated. They’ve painted and replaced the appliances but it’s not like it impacted our stay in a negative way. The original color scheme was more fun as now it’s all gray making it feel less tropical. The fridge no longer has an ice maker and water in the door. They did have ice in the freezer but we bought a bag of ice at the Publix in Mobile before we checked in. We loved the location and basically having our own private beach. It was fairly chilly when we were there so in warmer weather and if all of the houses are booked around it, there would definitely be more traffic but I would think people probably wouldn’t set up right in front of the house as there are big open spots in between it and the other houses and the public beach is close. They don’t have beach towels available so bring your own, or the owners should invest in some generic blue towels for guests. They only have a pizza pan with holes, no solid cookie sheets. No biggie, just would have liked one with no holes for cooking since we didn’t have foil. There was what appeared to be broken glass by the stairs and I should have told the owners about but forgot. They were very communicative, easy to contact and quick to reply. We loved hanging on the deck to watch the dolphins and enjoy the view!
Dana E. says
The location was excellent. The house could not be closer to the water’s edge. Also LOVED the fact that there were plenty of towels and washcloths. Comfy beds and loved that each room had King or Queen beds rather than twins.
Jim B. says
The view was spectacular!! It was very spacious.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for your review! Weâre so glad you enjoyed the spectacular view and the spaciousness of the home. Weâd love to welcome you back to Dauphin Island Beach Rentals soon!
Iry B. says
Every thing was fine
Lena E. says
Not being able to part at house was only issue. Having to carry everything so far and then up stairs was ruff. Everything else was perfect
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Weâre so glad to hear everything else about your stay was perfect and that you enjoyed the home overall.
Weâre sorry the parking situation created a challenge and made arrival and unloading more difficult, especially with having to carry items and navigate stairs. We understand how important convenience is, and we appreciate you pointing this out so we can better communicate access details to future guests.
We truly value your feedback and hope to host you again for a more seamless and comfortable stay in the future.
ashley L. says
We have stayed here twice and we really love it ! You cannot beat the view ! Kat was super helpful with any questions or concerns we had and made the stay that much better !
charlotte S. says
Wonderful house with a spectacular view. No carrying anything to the beach. It is at your door step.
susan K. says
Great location, great help from manager
Benjamin L. says
great place to stay, beautiful deck and views. very convenient to be able to walk down the stairs and be on the beach, especially with kids! will return!
Kathleen K. says
House was nice. Location was great. Excellent restaurants to choose from. Several options of things to do. Deck over looking the Gulf was a great spot to read, relax, and enjoy the sounds of the water. Very relaxing getaway.
Kimberlee H. says
Great location, privacy & beautiful views
Jay M. says
We have been enjoying Dauphin Island, for the last 4 years. And never disappointed, It is a great place. The accommodations are very good.
Amanda D. says
great place to stay. fishing right from the balcony waves all night long we’ll stay here again

Superb location- canât get closer to the gulf. Quiet and tranquil. Best sun rises and sets. Spacious and well appointed accommodation
Anjuli M. says
Very relaxing place to stay. Calm and quiet. Views are amazing. Clean community.
Cassie H. says
We always look for a new adventure and this house had us sleeping in the waves !! We loved hearing the ocean all day and night . The tide literally comes up u see house at night ! The beach in front of the house isnât really where you can sit and play because the tide is unpredictable as to how far it comes up with each wave . We used the beach area between the houses . We saw dolphins almost everyday , the sunset and sunrises are so beautiful. The only complaint really was the neighbors that rented the road front house would post up their fishing poles against our house right in front of where we would sit . There isnât a ton of sun on the parking side of the house first tho h in the morning but is perfect mid day . The only other â complaint â is their is no access to the house from the parking spot without going through the sand so there is no rolling a suitcase . If you want to look for shells and have a pretty peaceful beach this is it . I even found my first ever sharks tooth here !!!
carole S. says
We had an absolute blast. The home was perfect and the view was amazing. We joined a few Facebook groups ahead of time for ideas on place to eat and things to do.
Kevin R. says
Thanks! We had a great time!
Barbara P. says
Lovely and spacious home with bedrooms perfect for our family. We would have appreciated beach chairs, but we purchased inexpensive ones in town. Loved the location – near the west end of the island with beautiful sunsets.
Ted S. says
House was clean and seems as if the property was painted not so long ago, the furniture is not new, nor is it shabby and is comfortable.The patio furniture is new and comfortable, with a knockout view of the Gulf. The house had adequate start up supplies for kitchen and bathroom, and water pressure that you won’t believe, with a big refrigerator (bring as much as you can).
Of course, the house is on stilts, so be prepared to climb stairs. One thing if looking for a beach, there is not one, the high tide is actually under the house. But between the parking area and the ocean, it is wide enough so you can put a chair,or towel, and sunâŚbut walking the beach is not going to happen there, but just 4 blocks away is all the beach you need, miles of it, unincorporated. The picture shows a beach, but over time the ocean has eroded it out. The Town needs to get on the ball and organize restoring the beach, put a dredge out several hundred yards, and pump sand to the shore, and re-establish the beach. A storm(while we were there)had water down the road and sand accumulating on Vaca CT, so if rental agency says beware of flooding conditions, do so (as we experienced)…but you will get stuck if sand has any accumulation on Vaca Ct near the beach, just park back by the main street, and no problem.
There is a pizza place and several good restaurants on the island, and one decent grocery store, convenience,hardware,and boat&beach supply store that has 90% of what you need.
Christina J. says
This home has an amazing view and spacious rooms. Situayed between “town” and the bublic beach, it is perfect for families. This house is pracrically IN the ocean so you can hear the waves wven with the doors and windows closed, and the hime itself provides shade for beach time play in the sand. Numerous shells to be found just outside the door!
Mark K. says
Can’t get any closer to water, can sit on deck or under house if want the sand. Note: may be helpful to have 4 wheel drive as your street is sand which is great being so close to water but got stuck a few times as we didn’t have 4 wheel drive.
Hailey H. says
Our vaca was perfect and it couldn’t have been that way without this home. It was clean, had everything we needed and was right on the water.
Felicia H. says
This was the perfect location. The ocean comes right up to the house, and there is still plenty of space for the kids to play on the beach!
Michelle S. says
This was our first trip to Dauphin Island and our vacation home was perfect! We spent every morning on the deck over the Gulf, went surf fishing right in front of the property, and the kids had a great time shelling every morning.
The beds were comfortable. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. Things were very tidy upon arrival. We appreciated the hose at the top of the deck to wash off some of the beach sand, rather than track it inside.
It was all and all a great stay and we will definitely book again!
Christopher D. says
This house is right on the water and the front deck offers a completely unobstructed view of the gulf. Many dolphin sightings throughout the week were a real treat. Be aware that there are oil rigs visible several miles off the island if that bothers you (we got used to them and actually find their lights pretty at night). You can also see big ships on the horizon entering and leaving Mobile Bay. House is near the park at the west end of the island where you can enjoy an endless, wide-open beach without houses, or if there’s high wind/high surf you can play in the more calm waters of the sound. Note that the “street” the house is on is all sand and you have to park in that sand. Be careful how far you pull up into the sand or you may get stuck. Also the entrance to Vaca St. floods with about 6″ of water when there’s heavy rain and takes days to the water to go down. We discovered that our trash can was missing but the management eventually provided another one. Dauphin Island is NOT a glamourous resort island with trendy restaurants, clubs and shops. However it is a great place to have a quiet, relaxing week at the beach by yourself or with family and friends.
ashley L. says
We were looking for a quiet place to go and unwind from the craziness of the city . We usually go to florida but found dauphin island and decided to give it a try . We were in for a surprise ! This home is so quaint and beautiful! Itâs right on the water so you can hear the waves come in . The view is spectacular . The sunsets make you never want to go home . This house has everything you need . The island is a small
Island so grocery shopping is something you want to do before you come . Other then that everything was perfect ! We will be back !
Molly B. says
We had a wonderful relaxing stay, we only had one small issue and Dauphin Island Beach Rentals was super responsive and went above and beyond to correct the issue. They were great to work with and I will not hesitate to rent from them again. The house has a great location and we loved the front deck, a great time was had by all. đ
Tyler S. says
beautiful place. we enjoyed our stay!

Are dogs allowed on the beach at this location?

Dogs are allowed on the beach so long as they are leashed and picked up after. Thank you!

On what floor are the king sized beds?
Adam says
This is a one-story home.
Emma Harrington says
Do you do âSnowbird Rentalsâ by the month?
Adam says
Sorry, we do not.
Joni jones says
Hello
We were wondering if that is on the ocean side of the island. Our pet is a golden retriever very well behaved. I just wanted to check she was acceptable. July 2 thru the 9.
Adam says
Yes, it is. It is the Gulf of Mexico, but for all practical discussion, it is the ocean. đ
