Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Everything was perfect! This was our first visit to Dauphin Island and we loved it! Our goal to catch red snapper was successful with Captain Jeff of DnD Fishing Charter. Highly recommend. Thank you for the sweet gifts!

Thanks so much for letting us stay in your beach home! Loved it here so much!! Thank you for the welcome gift! This is the perfect house!!! We’ve been coming here since 2010 and we will be returning.

My sister and I have been coming to Dauphin Island for many years. This year we chose to stay at Still Waters. I can honestly say that this has been the best stay yet. Still Waters has been the most accommodating and pleasurable. The owners actually think outside of the box for their guests. The home is very nice, clean, and has everything you will love. Also, the beach was amazing. The only thing better would be to live there. Thank you!

Amazing
If I could give more stars I would. This house was amazing! Just mere steps to the water. We have 2 kids under 3 and this was fantastic. The kitchen was stocked with all the spices which was great to have. The kitchen has all the cookware you would need for your stay. The beds were comfortable. The swing was absolutely amazing to drink coffee on in the morning and your *drink* in the evening. Absolutely will be back.
Chase Webster says
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing that the home was such a great fit for your family, especially with two little ones. Being just steps from the water makes those beach days a little easier, and we’re glad you found the kitchen well stocked and the beds comfortable.
And we have to agree, the swing sounds like it served its purpose perfectly: coffee in the morning and a slightly more festive beverage in the evening! That’s a pretty great way to do Dauphin Island.
We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome your family back for another stay!
Marsha D. says
Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful vacation home. This was our 1st trip to Dauphin Island as we have always gone to Destin.
We are spoiled now. This was an absolute great home away from home! We had plenty of room for 3 families!
We will be back!!!
The peace & quiet was awesome! And being able to set up our tent + chairs with no one to tell us, “Oh, you can’t set up here,” was beyond great!

Just want to make sure this is gulf side and not bay side. Could you tell us?

This property is located on the Gulf side of the island.
Chelsey P. says
This is a stunning house! We stayed with two young children and the proximity to the beach was AMAZING. We spent a lot of time on the deck and enjoyed every second. House was clean and well maintained. Outdoor shower an plenty of beach toys, fishing supplies, and other necessary items so you don’t have to travel with your own. The concierge service the host has got is propane quickly when we realized the grill was out and was quick to answer any and all questions. We would definitely recommend and stay again!
Nichole Goff says
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your family had such a memorable stay and that the home’s close proximity to the beach made it easy to enjoy every moment with your little ones. There’s nothing better than spending the day on the sand and relaxing on the deck afterward!
We’re also happy to know you found the home clean, well-maintained, and stocked with beach toys, fishing gear, and other essentials to make packing a little easier. It’s great to hear our concierge team was able to quickly deliver propane for the grill and provide prompt assistance whenever you needed it. We strive to make every stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
Thank you for your kind recommendation and for choosing to stay with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to welcome you and your family back to Dauphin Island for another fantastic beach getaway!
Krissy V. says
We had a wonderful stay at Dauphin Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The thoughtful housewarming gift waiting for us was such a nice touch and made us feel right at home.
The concierge was excellent throughout our stay. When we discovered the microwave wasn’t working, he responded quickly and brought us a spare so we wouldn’t be inconvenienced while the original was being replaced. That level of customer service was truly appreciated.
The house was well-stocked with plenty of beach towels, and the starter kits for laundry, toilet paper, and other essentials were more than enough to get us settled in comfortably.
Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay. The home was comfortable, well-equipped, and the exceptional hospitality made all the difference. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dauphin Island!
Nichole Goff says
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great stay on Dauphin Island and that so many details helped make your vacation memorable. It’s especially rewarding to know you enjoyed the welcome gift, the well-stocked home, and the concierge services provided by Dave. We’re so glad his recommendations and assistance enhanced your experience and helped make your stay even more enjoyable.
We’re also happy we could quickly address the unexpected microwave issue during your visit. The owner had already planned a full kitchen upgrade with a new suite of professional appliances, and installation was scheduled shortly after your stay. While the microwave stopped working before the upgrade was completed, we’re pleased the new appliances are now in place for future guests to enjoy.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for your thoughtful recommendation. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to Dauphin Island for another wonderful stay!
Susan M. says
This has been a most fantastic beach vacation. We ALL agree that this particular house has been the best so far of all our beach stays. The proximity to the water and sand was such a plus especially for our elderly family members. Hopefully, we will have another opportunity to stay here. God bless.

Chase Webster says
Susan, thank you so much for leaving such a heartfelt note. It means a great deal to hear that, after all of your family’s beach stays, this home stood out as a favorite. We especially love knowing that being so close to the water made it easier for everyone in the family, including your elderly family members, to enjoy the beach together.
Those are exactly the kinds of family memories we hope Dauphin Island helps create. Thank you to the Myers, Richey, Coburn, and Norris families for choosing to spend your beach vacation with us. We would be honored to welcome you all back for another stay!

Chris A. says
the house is beautiful and well stocked but the view….absolutely amazing back porch with a view!
Shelly H. says
The house and beach are beautiful, we had the beach to ourselves. Not much to do or eat on the island so plan accordingly, this is a vacation that is full of relaxation instead of running around.
Loren F. says
Beautiful home right on the beach. It had everything you need for a family beach weekend. We love this home!!
Anna R says
I brought my three teen ladies here on a whim before school ended a few days before needing to be at a family graduation. Best spur-of-the-moment decision I have made in a long time! Your home is perfect for a peaceful-filled time away. Thank you for being so thoughtful in how you outfitted this home, we were all very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Dina & Dave Ashcraft says
THE Best Experience
We’ve been visiting Dauphin Island for five years now and Still Waters is the best home we’ve rented. It’s beautiful, tastefully decorated, has everything you need and then some, and is directly on the beach. The owners have thought of EVERYTHING to make staying at their home a great experience!
Jessica K. says
This stay was amazing! We have 9 wonderful children and this was the 1st time we ever took them to the beach. We are so thankful it was to this house. Everything was perfect!
Deb S says
The best place!
We LOVED everything about our 6 day stay at Still Waters! The house was absolutely perfect and the location on the beach was fantastic. The host has thought of literally everything you could possibly need or want (and more). It was great to walk into a sweet welcome gift and a donut delivery the next morning. We were so comfortable there! We hope to come back someday
Lisa D. says
The house is beautiful. We had a wonderful trip hanging out by the beach, watching movies on the couch, catching fish, and trying new restaurants. I would love to come back! 10/10!
The Drake Family says
Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with us this week. Our family loves DI and enjoyed our time here yet again. The kids enjoyed the sweet surprise donuts and your welcome gifts were an added sweet touch! Your home is beautiful and cozy and we loved making memories here. We especially loved the days it was warm and sunny and we could be outside and enjoy the peaceful waves and fun in the sand.
Thanks again for another great trip to our favorite island!
The Thurgoods, Figgis & Reed Families says
We had an amazing week in your beautiful beach house! Comfy beds and couch made relaxing easy. We had beautiful weather all week including some storms which we love. God gifted us on day 3 with a double rainbow over the ocean! We enjoyed sunrises, wildlife, migration of monarch butterflies on the beach, dolphins, crabbing at night, fun in the sun, a trip to Gulf Shores Shrimp/Art Festival, go-carts, lunch at Lulu’s, and a ride on the ferry. Of course, we enjoyed getting ice cream on Dauphin Island and delicious cinnamon rolls from Lighthouse Bakery.
The special surprise of donuts from you all was such a special gift and surprise in addition to your special welcome gifts. Love is definitely felt in this beach home at ‘Still Waters.’ His ‘Amazing Grace’ is felt in everything around us here! Leaving with sweet memories and hearts filled with God’s beauty. Looking forward to coming back very soon! This is a ‘Thin Place’ where heaven touches earth.
Nichole C. says
Spectacular property! The owners were incredibly thoughtful and intuitive in anticipating their guests needs. They went above and beyond providing amenities. They even had doughnuts delivered! We will be returning again to this property. Rate them 10/10!!!!
The Clark Family says
hat a wonderful ‘home away from home’ you have thoughtfully created. The presence of the LORD is felt throughout the house. We felt so much safety, peace, and unspeakable joy and created lifelong memories. We saw at least 30 dolphins on our first full day and fish that hopped along the water. We appreciated your thoughtfulness in a fully stocked kitchen, beach items, comfy furniture, donuts delivered, and more. You’ve set a new standard for us in every vacation home we visit in the future. We can’t adequately express our thankfulness for this home and all you’ve done. We pray blessings and supernatural favor over your family and this home. May it bring families close together and to God as they rest here.
Soli Deo Gloria,
The Clark Family
Horton says
Thank you so much for sharing your Still Waters home with visitors to the island! The view is a 10/10, the home is a 10/10, and this has been one of the best homes we have stayed at on the coast! I’m currently trying to talk my husband into getting us a sofa like yours. 🙂 You thought of all the details when decorating your home & even the lovely welcome gift. We can’t wait to visit again!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house. Just a few steps to the beach and a perfect location. We had an issue with the bathroom drains not draining but the issue was quickly repaired. This is our second time renting with Dauphin Island Beach Rentals this year and we will definitely be back!
April Harrell says
Still Waters is a beautifully appointed property. The owner ensures that her guests have the best experience possible. Thank you for the shout out to our maintenance department. They do an amazing job of helping our guests with any issue that arises during their stay.
Hornsby says
Our family discovered our love for Dauphin Island 4 years ago. Your place is beautiful & accommodating & had everything we needed for a wonderful Labor Day break. My husband, kids, & my parents enjoyed scooping crabs from the surf & boiling them up Louisiana style 🙂 Thanks for a lovely time.
Shea G. says
The house was wonderful and perfect for our family. The house is just as beautiful as the pictures online. We really appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with items like spices, foil, trash bags, ziplock bags etc. It was so nice being steps away from the beach. We would rent again in a heart beat!
Richard J. says
We were anxious about our trip as this was our first time going to Dauphin Island. The pictures of the house online portrayed the house just as is, which was awesome. We loved the little special items like stocked with some supplies, a welcoming gift, delivery of donuts on the beach our first day and the gas grill on the deck. The theme of the house was inspiring. We will definitely rent it again. Awesome house.
Dan R. says
This is the best beach property any of us have ever stayed in. The island itself has some drawbacks… few restaurants or grocery stores… but it’s very calm and peaceful which is what we were after. The home is immaculate, you won’t lack for anything you might expect from a host and then some. One of the management team showed up with fresh doughnuts on Day 2. I was like, “we were hungry yesterday too!” 😉 It was a very nice touch and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Stop looking, get this place.
Haley B. says
We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was beautiful and the host was very responsive to everything we needed.
Cindy Wooten says
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us! We were so in love with it that we extended our stay an extra day because we couldn’t bear the thought of spending Sunday at home at the cost of missing out on a Saturday here!
I am a lover of water – the ocean, the seas, lakes, and even peaceful meandering seas. Being near the water truly refreshes my soul! As such, we have traveled and stayed in many beach houses and lake houses from Maine to Florida to California and even Montana – and yours is my favorite!!
I love the colors, the furnishings, the decor – all of it! But most of all, this deck and the view of the beautiful private beach below. My husband and I sat at the beach many days fishing, laughing, walking and watching the gorgeoussunsets. This is a trip I won’t forget! And I bet it won’t be our last visit here! Oh – and we spent many of those days in the company of “Fred” the local heron.
Thank you once again! I hope all couples and families leave here with treasured memories of their own!
Nancy Shepard says
Absolutely Amazing
Oh, how I love you home!!!
I love:
• the name — reminder of God’s guidance.
• the location on the most narrow spot on island.
• the view in front, inside thru the sliders, and on the deck!!
• the distance to the water — stairs, sand, shore
• the floor plan — spacious rooms perfect for sun four friends
• the wall color, the high ceiling, the crown molding and trim work
• the furniture — every piece is perfectly suited – that you included a coffee table — I passed over other homes that didn’t have one
• the light fixture and quantity of can lights.
• the tasteful, brilliant placement and choice of decor – walls and surfaces
• the deck furniture and the safety gate
• the provision of towels, beach towels and throws to keep us warm as we enjoyed the 5″ of snow!!!
• the flash deal discount that made this last-minute trip possible
• the extras — personalized welcome display for Still Waters
• the reminder to “relax” and “stay salty”
• the books and puzzles tucked away
• that I didn’t need any extras Kitchen items that I brought because most homes don’t have them
• the plug in scent 🙂
• the beachy, classy, comfortable theme
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home w/others!
Blessings!

All I can say in “ditto”!!! So grateful for your hospitality!
Millie says
What a blessing this week has been! Your home is absolutely lovely-beautiful colors, furnishings, decorations and amenities. It has been perfect for our girls get away. I echo the sentiments of both Jill & Nancy. I have very limited experience with the beach but I’m pretty sure I’ve been spoiled by Still Waters! Stunning views, sunrises, sunsets, clouds, winter storm, our bare feet in both the snow and the sand, blue sky, dolphins, stars…. What do you not have? We’ve enjoyed great fellowship, prayers, laughter, walks on the beach, meals together, puzzles, games, movies this has all been the perfect respite! Thank you so much!
Jill Dunlap says
Stile Waters has been a refreshment to my soul this week. You’ve created a beautiful and well-appointed place where respite can be fully enjoyed. Of course, our stay during the winter storm has been quite a bit different from most beach trips but, even so, we have been warm and comfortable while enjoying the scenery from your deck. I’ve only thought of one item which would have been very helpful: an electric kettle. (Many cups of hot tea and cocoa have been drunk this week!) I would happily return to Still Waters for another visit. Thank you and may God richly bless you!
Chase Webster says
Thanks for the great review Jill! The owners have added an electric kettle for the house since your stay. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back soon.
