Wonderful vacation!
Everything about this stay was wonderful! Beautiful clean property. It was a home away from home. My kids, 4yo and 11yo, loved their rooms! The kitchen set up was very nice!

First Dauphin Island Stay
I was very excited to have my first stay in Dauphin Island, but I will admit I was nervous as I had never used VRBO or Vacasa before. It’s safe to say the ease of use with the code provided for entry, as well as the directions to the property were seamless and easy to understand. Dauphin Island isn’t very large, so the location of the house was a short drive to any place we wanted to go from the Pirates Bay restaurant to the beaches. I had a great stay and the house was plenty spacious and very nice.

Family Get-away
Turtle's Nest is a wonderful home for a family vacation. I say "home" because that is how it feels. The neighborhood is quiet and the whole atmosphere on the island is relaxing. The home was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed relaxing at night after a day on the beach in the outdoor areas. Beaches/restaurants are approximately 2 - 5 minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back. Note: - Tires on 2 of the bicycles need replaced. The tires are dry rotted. Was not a problem but just wanted to let the homeowner know.

We highly recommend this VRBO home!!!
It was a breath of fresh air!! Soft colors inside. Very roomy and not crowded with furniture or fixtures. The only thing I would recommend is a more comfortable set of mattresses for the guest queen bed and the two bunk beds. Adults slept on them and said they were a bit hard. But they did not complain, and it absolutely did not dampen our stay. :0) The dumbwaiter was extremely useful. We all were on motorcycles and we would use the dumbwaiter to transport our luggage, helmets, jackets, souvenirs, groceries, etc. It was very convenient considering the high stairways in both front and back of the house. It was an amazing stay. We definitely plan to visit again, and highly recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit Dauphin Island.

Great property but needs a little attention.
The property was great. Seemed new and nicely decorated. Everything was as advertised. We liked the location. It was nice and private and well maintained. There were a few things that need attention. The master bath would not hold water. The guest bath had a very slow drain. But the main thing was the lack of proper kitchen pots and pans. Most of the restaurants are closed during the off season so we had to cook. There are only a few pots and pans and they are very old. Also there were no matches to light the grill which caused an additional trip to the market after we returned with our groceries. A little supply drawer would be nice. But overall I would definitely stay there again. I’m sure the kinks will be worked out soon. Thank you.

Comfortable and close to everything
We enjoyed our stay. The master bed was comfortable. The outdoor TV was great! Kids watched movies and adults played music on YouTube. The only draw back was the kitchen was minimally furnished and there isn’t an ice maker in the freezer.
