Perfect getaway.

Midway to West end beach or East end boat ramp/ferry. We like the private beach area facing the bay view. House is nicely furnished with the comfort of home. Will highly recommend to others.

Perfect location

Great view of the bay and a short walk to the gulf side. The place was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was the mattresses. Like other reviews have said they are pretty bad. I’d at least recommend a mattress topper if nothing else.

It was okay for the price. I would not pay nothing more than what I paid for a 3 night stay.

Love the idea for placing your name and distance traveled but a rotary tool, wood or permanent markers were not available for use. Love the fact the water was in your backyard but wished it had a dock to walk out on.

This home was perfect for our family to enjoy a long weekend!! Lots of space right out front on the water. The sleeping spaces had an extra door to close for more privacy and quiet. Great rent!!

We booked this house due to being just steps from the water. The beds and stove as well as the side door need replacing asap and this house will be way better. Of these things get done soon we will book this house again for next year on our vacation. Every thing else was spot on.

Overall great house! Did have issues with the air and fridge but reached out to management and someone was sent but unfortunately things were not fixed before we left. There was also a glass coffee table in the living room which isn’t ideal for little kids but even with that I would gladly stay at this property again!

Great house and location

This beautiful house was in the perfect location right on the bay, with a little beach area right out the back door. And only a short walk to the Gulf. Although we didn't even go to the gulf side the whole week we were there. The beach area behind the house was perfect for the grandkids. No big waves...no seaweed and not deep until you walked way out. The area was perfect also. Not crowded...and we were there Memorial Weekend. The only traffic you have to worry about is the occasional slow golf cart. The restaurants were amazing. This was our first time coming here. And definitely my new spot.

Nothing grand about little gramd hotel

This is the first house my family has stayed at in Dauphin Island I would not recommend renting to anyone. Everything is old and outdated and needs to be upgraded. All of the mattresses in every room needs to be replaced. There was not a good frying pan to even cook an egg in. Would not rent this place again

Quiet with incredible view

I usually stay on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island. This is my first rental on the bay side and I was pleasantly pleased with the view and peaceful calming location. Keyless entry was very difficult to use when entering the front door.... My hands are large and could barely push the complex number sequence without pressing more then one button at a time. I would go here again for sure.

Delighted but Disappointed Rente

The house is at a great location and Dauphin Island is beautiful with friendly locals. But this house is very worn and not kept clean. Very few appliances were available and dishes looked as if they were saved from a thrift store.

We stayed there before but some things changed. They removed the swing from the deck. The floor was not clean enough. Nails on the deck were sticking out and some deck boards were cracked, very dangerous.

Inexpensive Beach Front Windsurfing House

This home is not deluxe and has a few issues, but that is reflected in the price. Its greatest feature is beach access in the back yard. We were able to windsurf right off the yard and store our gear without de-rigging. The out door shower wasn't plumbed, the DVD players didn't work, and the blinds in the bedroom were broken and flimsy and unable to sufficiently block the bright lights from the house next door. But these were small inconveniences and the house was comfortable enough for relaxing after blasting around windsurfing in the gulf all day!

LOVED the views! Lots of room & large deck Beach just off the deck. Beds uncomfortable & dishwasher broken. Very outdated. Air conditioner didn’t cool but part of the time but the weather was cool so it didn’t matter as much as it would have if we had been here during the hot months. Have to lift up on door to lock & unlock because it’s not level. The views & the quiet made all these issues not matter so much but I wouldn’t rent this house again in the future.

Location was great. But had some issues. First bathroom would not drain so take a shower and have water to your calf's. Then the weather changed and heater was not working just keep it at 59 degrees in the house with 3 little ones. Had to go buy 4 heaters and a hotel room. Water froze up even though we had the water running. Ended up with broken pipes and no hot water since the hot water tank froze , after it unfroze still just hardly warm water came out could not take a shower. With all that and all my phone calls no help. It was frustrating! Usually when I rent a place they have maybe some salt and pepper in the cupboards nothing was in this house. So if you think there is anything extra in this house nothing all cleaned out. Best part was location
