Donna C. says
We could live on the deck of the Southern Breeze! We love that you can bask in the Sun but also enjoy some shade because of the open and covered areas of this large deck! We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and really appreciate the DIBR Team for their excellent communication and customer service skills. Thank you for sharing your lovely home! JC/dc
Deana S. says
My adult children loved this house being able to walk right into the gulf, however, I did not like being right in the water. I like having some sand beach in between. We had a few hiccups but JS replied right away and were amazing! We have been vacationing at Dauphin Island for a few years now and will continue to do so! We love this place to get away and will be back!
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for your review and for choosing to vacation on Dauphin Island with us! We’re so glad to hear that your adult children enjoyed the home’s unique location and easy access to the Gulf.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the beachfront setting. Every stretch of shoreline on the island offers a slightly different experience, and we understand that some guests prefer having a wider sandy beach between the home and the water.
We’re also happy to hear that our team was able to respond quickly and help with the hiccups that came up during your stay. Providing prompt assistance is important to us, and we’re glad we could make things easier for you.
Thank you again for your kind words and for continuing to make Dauphin Island part of your vacation tradition. We look forward to welcoming you back for another island getaway soon!
Denver S. says
This house was the perfect vacation spot. House is partially IN the water, can’t get any closer! The house had everything needed to cook every day instead of ordering out. Very peaceful beach vacation spot. We will be back here again.
Kane M. says
Location is fantastic. Had a great time with no worries
Rebecca B. says
We had a fantastic time at Southern Breeze! We were already trying to figure out another time to come and stay before we even left!! We had a 2 year old golden retriever with us and I think she had the time of her life!! Highly recommend!!
Nichole Goff says
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had a fantastic time at Southern Breeze and that your golden retriever enjoyed the stay too. We’d love to welcome you all back to Dauphin Island Beach Rentals anytime—sounds like another visit can’t come soon enough!
Balinda M. says
The accommodations and location were great! It was as described. The host stayed in contact via text during our stay and was readily accessible with questions. Look forward to future visits.
Karen P. says
We really love this property and would definitely like to book again in the future!
Emily L. says
Beautiful home, perfect location. The only complaint we have is the mattresses. They were all very hard. Other than that we made do with what was available and had the best time. We really enjoyed the deck over the water and the view. It was perfect and we’re still talking about our trip and wishing we were there!
Bruce M. says
We had a great stay. The waves crashing underneath the back deck was amazing. We watched dauphins every morning swimming by. Walked for miles picking up shells. And caught lots of fish at west end beach. It was a great vacation!!
Bruce and Karen Mitchell.
Alyssa F. says
we have stayed at this house twice now and plan to go back every chance we get. wonderful home!
Victoria S. says
We had an amazing stay! The location and view couldn’t be any better, literally right on the sand. You really can’t get any closer to the water, and waking up to the sound of the waves was unforgettable. The house was spacious and comfortable.
Being so close to the beach made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day with our children. We visited the aquarium and Lighthouse Bakery during our stay. Both highly recommend!
We loved every minute and would absolutely stay here again!
Amie A. says
We loved our visit to Dauphin Island and this home! This was our 3rd trip there and we absolutely loved this location and being right at the beach. Hope to come back and visit again!
Jason J. says
Very nice and it was cool on/in water. We usually stay on bayside! Was disappointed that there were no, zero, spices or salt pepper! Luckily i did bring some. Also, need a reuseable coffee pod for people expecting a regular coffee pot! Just acouple of suggestions! Enjoyed place very much!
Paul B. says
First timers on Dauphin Island and it did not disappoint! Loved the atmosphere of this home and the entire island! Check in was super easy. Communication with DIBR was nice. They answered every question or concern I had promptly. Love that the beach is literally underneath you. So only a few steps out and you’re at the water!
Jeffrey P. says
We really enjoyed the view of the ocean!
Clint S. says
The house was awesome. Checkin is easy. The house is ON the water. Being in January, I knew that things are a gamble. You never know what the temperature will be. The management company is awesome. We had an issue with extreme rising tides and they came to my rescue (cars rescue from getting too wet). This was done well after working hours. They seem to be always available.
Kim J. says
Very close to west end beach, right in the water. The house was very clean other than a few little scuffs on the walls. The only negative thing we noticed was one of the boards on the porch is getting a bit soft and probably will need replaced soon. Would definitely stay here again
Felicia H. says
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our Momcation. The home and the beach were perfect for us! When we first got to the property, there was trash around the stairs, and kids beach toys and lawn chairs on the balcony, so it made us think we were at the wrong location. We called the host, and immediately got an answer. She confirmed we were at the correct location and the cleaners must have left those things from the previous stay. Once we got in the home, everything was as described, and perfect for us. The beach balcony is large, and having a partial covering allows for sun/no sun. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Kandi B. says
We had an amazing time staying in this beach home! Very peaceful, beautiful sunsets, tons of seashells, lots of sunshine, the island people were so friendly, and when we were on the beach in front of the house we felt like we had the island to ourselves! Will DEFINITELY be back!
Terry S. says
What a lovely home to spend quality time with family! Literally on the beach or perhaps in the ocean during high tide. Amazing views, soothing ocean sounds, incredible deck and an overall relaxing atmosphere. It was also wonderful that our dog could join us on vacation as well. Very clean and well stocked with kitchen cooking utensils, etc.
Robyn W. says
Even though it was very cold outside, we had a magical Christmas looking out over the ocean from the warmth of this wonderful house!
Jared T. says
Pretty awesome place, we would definitely stay again. The only thing that might cause some hesitation is there is ONLY sand. From the road till you hit the bottom step to the rental. Only sand lol
still had a wonderful time 🙂
Charles S. says
Enjoyed the stay. Great views day and night.
Hal H. says
LOVED THE STAY, WE WILL BE BACK.
Alyssa F. says
Absolutely beautiful stay! House was great!! hope to have our family trip there again next year
Rachel says
How far is parking from the house? Can we unload luggage at house then move car to parking area?
Adam says
You will have to park on Vaca Ct which is approximately 50′ from the house.
Rhonda says
Are there beach chairs umbrellas etc at this rental for guests to use?
Adam says
Beach chairs and umbrellas are not officially supplied, although, they are often donated by guests. We will leave them so long as they appear in good condition. There are also places on the island to buy or rent both.
Grace Chandonnet says
Hi there! Are there two jack and jill bathrooms or just one? Thanks.
Brandy Gray says
Perfect
Our stay here was amazing the house was nice and clean. Amazing view. Loved being able to fish off the deck in the mornings. I would definitely stay here again!!! Perfect size for 3 adults and 4 kids and a dog. 🙂 😀
Christie M Smith says
Where do u park your car at. Being that house almost in water
Adam says
For this property, you would park on Vaca Ct. Park on the right side of the street. Property will accommodate two vehicles. If you have more, you can always leave vehicles at Green Park in the middle of the island as well. Thanks, DIBR
Teresa Gilley says
Amazing!
Southern Breeze at Dauphin Island is amazing. The house was clean and comfortable. The large deck over the ocean is nice for traveling with your dog. Adam was great to work with for our accommodation. I would recommend Dauphin Island Beach for your travel needs.
