Joshua A. says
Great place for a low key vacation with the kids.
Courtney W. says
Beautiful view on a quiet beach right outside! We really enjoyed our time here. The coffee table with all the seashells was such a cute idea! My kids loved looking at all of them through the glass.
Sallie S. says
This place was perfect for a large group. It was nothing fancy but everything was clean, it was spacious, and exactly as described.
Reauna M. says
Lovely spot, perfect for our small family! Had a Great Time!
Sherry L. says
Really nice property, very roomy, clean. Had an issue with the hot water heater but that was resolved asap. Communication with the host was top notch
Reyford D. says
Very relaxing place with beautiful views. If you are looking for somewhere to relax, watch the sunsets and enjoy the beautiful views overlooking the bay I highly suggest this place. Did not disappoint.
Tammy W. says
This house was adequate for myself and my five teenage grandchildren for Spring Break. I am aware it is very difficult to get a sand free floor. The floors were not only sandy but they left our socks dirty. Some additionally and more substantial mixing bowls would have been nice. Jeffrey was very responsive and checked in with us several times. The house is for sale so updating the furniture has likely not been a priority. Love the location but it on the bay side. We walked across the road a few times to the Gulf side beach, but went to the West Beach every day and it is great.
VICTORIA M. says
The view was fabulous. The neighborhood was quiet. Everyone left after Labor Day so we had the beach pretty much to ourselves. I would suggest that curtains are put up in the windows facing the street because the blinds were too short to cover the full window and this was for the bedroom and bathroom. Will definitely visit thislocation again.
Chelsea T. says
This house was amazing for our first Vrbo trip with kids and pets. The little beach out back on the bay was pretty nice. But having a short drive to plenty of other beaches was perfect it a cute little island with plenty of shopping and food choices to choose from! It was a relaxing get away.
Andrea K. says
This house fit our group of 8 perfectly. The area was quiet and beautiful
Denise B. says
Had a wonderful time and the staff was amazing.
Roberta A. says
This was a really nice house and the view! Sitting on the back deck watching the happenings on the bay. So peaceful. Then out the front door and across the streets, the Gulf was right there. Thanks for helping make our stay so nice.
Nick H. says
Our family just returned from the most incredible stay at this Dauphin Island beach house, and we’re already counting down the days until we can go back. This trip was exactly what we needed to reconnect and bond as a family. We spent hours having great late-night conversations, and witnessing the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises from the property was a highlight of each day.
The house itself was fantastic – comfortable, well-equipped, and felt like a true home away from home. The location is simply unbeatable, with the water practically at your back door! We especially loved having such easy access to the bay water area. It was absolutely perfect for our family, providing a safe and enjoyable space for the kids to play. Watching the tides change throughout the day was also a fascinating experience.
More than just a vacation, this trip created lasting memories for our family. We didn’t want to leave the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings.
Tony D. says
What an amazing stay. Dauphin island isn’t a heavy tourist location. There isn’t 50 souvenirs shops. It is a place to relax, a place that you can enjoy slowing down. We found something to do every day. Going to the aquarium on a rainy day or going to Mobile a short drive to tour the USS Alabama. But what was the most fun was hanging out with Joey and Liz with Slaty Dog rental and jet skiing with dolphins and sting rays. The cottage was a little dated but perfect for what we needed.
Juan A. says
Property as described. We wanted a quiet winter week by the water. It is exactly what we got. Quick tip, the spray hose is by the front door. Primarily use that door to keep sand out.
David P. says
The house was great….at a great price. It’s right on the bay, in the back. And the Gulf (within walking distance) in the front. The rental management company ( Dauphin Island Beach Rentals) was amazing.
Michael G. says
Very nice property
Valerie O. says
No matter what the reviews say about the house, the location is worth it. The house was nice and comfortable for our family and pets. The location right on the bay couldn’t be beat. The kids had the best time catching hermit crabs and playing in the water. Would recommend this as a vacation spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, low key beach trip. We loved it!
Amanda D. says
It was a little smaller than it appeared in pictures but still big enough for 10 of us. Air conditioning worked well! Tons of mosquitoes on the Bay side beach. No glass on the coffee table- covering the shells. Enjoyed our stay and the house!
David P. says
We enjoyed our stay. We loved the house. Only thing we wished that there was blinds in the living room.
Casey M. says
DIBR took great care of addressing our initial concerns and made sure that we had a great stay and vacation. Would 100% rent from again
Daniel H. says
This property was highly enjoyed by my family. Beach access is 10 min lazy walk… We were on the beach or the bay daily. Peaceful quiet beaches, without added stress of making sure your children are in not lost in a crowd. We love the island and the sunsets are breathtaking! This property was very comfortable for my family of 7. My daughter loved the upstairs room and spiral staircase! Property provided everything our family needed to prepare meals… We had a great vacation. Only hiccup was an issue with AC, and management took care of it quickly! Very satisfied with this experience!
Becky says
Is there recycling drop-off for plastic bottles on Dauphin Island? How about aluminum can recycling? Thanks.
Adam says
We do not have any recycling stations on the island (wish we did!).
April English says
Is there access to moor a small pontoon sailboat?
Adam says
You could anchor it off the beach or beach it.
Blair says
Does this home have a pier? Thanks!
Adam says
It does not. The pier is part of neighboring property and not accessible.
