Stacy K. says
We loved this house! The layout could not have been more perfect and would choose it again! Location was perfect! There is nothing better than sitting on the back deck and watching dolphins swim, sun rises and waves lap the sand! Would recommend some updated cookware and adding larger microwave safe bowls. The refrigerator has definitely seen some wear and tear as door shelves were missing and the oven definitely needs a major cleaning. Over all there is absolutely nothing that would keep us from returning! The property management people were angels and took care of all our needs instantly!
Chase Webster says
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the layout, location, and the incredible views from the back deck. Please know, our team conducts routine deep cleanings, and we will be sure to pay extra attention to the oven. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. The property management team is dedicated to ensuring our guests have a comfortable and memorable stay, and we’re pleased to hear they were able to assist you promptly. Thank you for your recommendation, and we can’t wait to have you back!
Stephen S. says
This is our 3rd year to stay here. Everything about this house and location is perfect for our family. The kids want this same house every year. The adults love it too. The only things I would change is to move the sign of the property to the side of the deck. It is directly in front of the swing and the bunk bed ladders to be easier to use. Not very good for kids. Grandkids (ages 12 & 11) (9 year old refuses to go up there) don’t like using them.
Chase Webster says
Thank you, Stephen, for the kind review and for your repeated business over the past 3 years. We’re delighted to hear that your family continues to enjoy the house and its location. Your feedback about the sign placement and the bunk bed ladders is much appreciated, and we’ll look into addressing those concerns to make the property even more accommodating for your group, especially the younger guests. We look forward to welcoming you back again next year.
Lindsey B. says
We had the best trip and would love to come back and stay again.
Trisha G. says
The house was big enough for our group and had all the essentials needed for inside, if you want beach essentials be sure to pack them. Since we did have a large group the water pressure was an issue. The host was responsive and the location was great. Overall a good experience.
Chase Webster says
Thank you, Trisha, for the review. We’re glad to hear you had a good experience overall with the house and its location. The Town of Dauphin Island is aware of water pressure issues and has been making infrastructure improvements on the island to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. We hope to have you back again.
Lynsie B. says
This was our second stay here because we just love it so much! We love being so close to the beach and having so many bedrooms and bathrooms. The cleanliness is always top notch as well.
Nicole G. says
It was beautiful and a very nice getaway
Jody C. says
Great stay! Great area !

Here’s a more professional and polished version of your review:
We truly enjoyed the location of the beach house, which was perfectly situated within walking distance of the beach—ideal for a relaxing family getaway. The photos provided accurately depicted the amenities, and the setting was wonderful for unwinding.
That said, there are a couple of points worth noting. First, the outdoor space lacks patio furniture aside from an older, rusty swing. If you’re planning to spend time relaxing on the deck, I’d recommend bringing your own seating. Second, upon arrival, we found the house to be in need of a thorough cleaning. There was a significant amount of pet hair and sand throughout, requiring us to sweep multiple times and clean the entire space ourselves. Additionally, we had to wash the comforters, as they were covered in dog hair.
Overall, the location and potential are fantastic, but these aspects could enhance the experience with some attention.
This version maintains the key det
Chase Webster says
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear the location and setup worked well for your family. We appreciate you pointing out the cleaning concerns and lack of outdoor seating. Since your stay, the property has undergone a full deep clean to correct the pet hair and sand issues. We are also discussing outdoor furniture upgrades with the owner to make the deck more enjoyable. Thank you again for the helpful feedback, and we hope to welcome you back.
Ariane M. says
The view from the house is beautiful. We loved the deck and looking at the sea. The house is very good and spacious.
Peggy F. says
We loved the property! There was a slight issue with the refrigerator but it worked out. We had to buy bags of ice because the ice maker wasn’t working. The office communicated with us quickly. The beds were so comfortable as were the pillows. It was really a wonderful time with family. We would definitely choose Transparent Sea again.
Erin A. says
We enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. the house matched the photos and there is plenty of space for our family of 3 and a dog. We enjoy being right on the water and it was very quiet.
Melanie B. says
The house is great! Roomy and nice. The location is fabulous, just steps from the ocean. And having the ocean in the back and the bay across the street in the front made for some beautiful views! The back porch is really big and nice. We hung out there every night and the breeze was just amazing! We brought 2 dogs with us and it was awesome being so close to the ocean for them to enjoy! There were some good restaurants and fun stores too. Make sure you bring groceries or stop before you get to the island.
This was our first time to Dauphin Island and we just fell in love with it. It is a peaceful, beautiful, kinda sleepy beach town. It was perfect for a relaxing beach getaway!
Niky B. says
Beautiful and spacious home! Nice, large deck with great views! Only suggestion would be to add more comfortable deck seating.
Don W. says
Absolutely Amazing! Perfect Location! Loved the huge deck on rear. Beautiful Gulf Front Views. Plenty of space for a large family. Great beach front and no crowds. Thank You for the awesome vacation!
Elizabeth W. says
This house was great. Lots of stairs like anywhere else on the island. The house was clean and comfortable. The only thing I would add would be more deck furniture! There was a picnic table, a porch swing and one Adirondack chair. Overall great stay!
Wendy F. says
