Perfect beach house exactly as described. Comfortable, spacious, with easy beach access. Great location on island. Hope to be back!
Angela C. says
Beautiful and peaceful location. House was spacious and comfortable. The views from the house and porch were great.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious, comfortable home and the beautiful, peaceful views from both the house and porch. We’d love to welcome you back to Dauphin Island Beach Rentals soon!
Amy L. says
This is a beautiful home on the beach. We loved being here!
Nichole Goff says
We’re so glad you loved the home and enjoyed your time on the beach. We’d be excited to welcome you back to Dauphin Island Beach Rentals soon!
Lacy D. says
We enjoyed our stay here very much! We had a bit of trouble getting the lockbox to the key open, but the host answered my phone call and was able to give me the door code immediately. We entered with no issues from there. The home was very well stocked both in the kitchen and with linens. Best supply I’ve ever seen! We brought towels from home just in case, but it wasn’t necessary. We wondered before our trip if we’d feel like we were too far back from the water in this spot, but the distance was perfect. It gave our teen boys an area to play football in the evenings, while still being no more than a 30 second walk to the water. This was our first time on Dauphin Island, and we feel we may have found a new family tradition in this home.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first trip to Dauphin Island and that the home worked so well for your family. It’s great that the lockbox issue was resolved quickly and that you found the home well stocked and comfortable. We love that the location provided both space for your teens to play and quick access to the water. We would be honored to welcome you back and be part of a new family tradition!

Family trip
We had a wonderful stay at Knee Deep! We had 7 in our party and the accommodation met our needs very well. We loved how close the house was to the water and how peaceful the beach was. We are already planning a return visit! Thanks so much for a great trip!
April Harrell says
Thank you for sharing your experience at Knee Deep Christa. It is wonderful to hear that the property suited your needs. When you decide to book your next stay, please call the office so your return customer discount can be applied for you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Heather B. says
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Knee Deep! Perfect location with plenty of room for our whole family to spread out. Kitchen well stocked, large laundry room, perfect split layout, direct access to beach and water…I could go on and on! Thanks again for the best getaway!
Kelsey B. says
Location was wonderful and hosts were quick to respond whenever we had a question.
Katie L. says
Our family (with 3 kids and a dog) had a great stay at Knee Deep! The beach is easily accessed right out the front door, and the snowball stand down the road at the beach park is easily reached by bike (~1 mile).
The one drawback we found was that the Wi-Fi speed was very slow at times, so that we weren’t able to work from the house as we had hoped. I found that the Welcome Center has free public Wi-Fi, but that was not an ideal solution overall. We understand that faster internet is available on the island – it depends on which company is providing service. So, keep that in mind if you need a place with faster internet.
Nichole Goff says
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear your family and pup enjoyed your stay at Knee Deep, and that the easy beach access and nearby snowball stand helped make your visit even more fun and convenient.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the Wi-Fi speed. We understand how important reliable internet is, especially for guests who need to work remotely, and we’re sorry it didn’t meet your expectations during your stay. Your note is very helpful, and we’ll share it with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve connectivity options.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your helpful insight. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway in the future!
Diane H. says
Great location. Beautiful view. Once you step off the deck you are on the beach. Family had Thanksgiving there and kitchen was stocked with everything to provide big meal.
Only 1 negative–we experienced one cold, windy day and one bedroom was drafty. We were unable to use small heaters provided as the wall outlets in the room did not work.
Patrick C. says
Great location. we enjoyed our stay but it was too short…
Sheri M. says
Wonderful, lots of room nice deck and great view
Brynn R. says
The home and location and vibe provided everything we were looking for to enjoy a perfectly relaxing vacation.
Angel R. says
Awesome!
Bryan S. says
Great place,
aharrell says
It does not have a pool. Try clicking the box next to pool on the search bar to show properties that have pools. There is a public pool with a snack bar and live music on the East End of the island. Here is a link to their website. https://www.piratesbarandgrill.com/pool-beach-music-fun
Karla Knisley says
Does this house have internet and/or wifi?
Adam says
Yes, this house has Micro-Comm internet. Speeds are typically between 10 and 30 MBS.
Coleen Gephart says
One cannot walk along the waters edge, because it would be private property, is this correct?
Adam says
You can walk up and down the beach. The “wet sand” is a Federal Easement and it is accepted locally anyway. You will see people walking up and down the coastline.
Amy says
What is the minimum length of stay allowed?
Adam says
It will depend on the time of year. The date picker on our calendar will walk you through any booking rules. Typically, you can expect it to be Saturday to Saturday for Summer and Spring Break.
Sage smith says

Adam says
