TERMITES - property has swarms of termites in kitchen

House and location were nice until we had SWARM OF TERMITES IN KITCHEN one night. After extensive cleaning one evening they seemed to stop. We contacted the property manager who got us in touch with property owner who admitted THIS WAS KNOWN ISSUE with the property. They stated kitchen was recently remodeled to handle the situation - their advice was to turn lights off. No other solution was given. Board walk to beach has raised and loose nails - must wear shoes or you might step on a nail. I wouldn’t book this house again if it were free.

Beautiful Property - Nosey Neighbors

We had 12 people staying in this property for a week and we had relatives from 3 other states staying in a separate home on the island that we had not seen since before the pandemic. We thought this house would be a great place to gather for a couple days and enjoy the beach and each other. Again, we only had 12 people staying at the house. Little did we know, the neighbors on both sides were watching us at all times and are active board members in the neighborhood HOA. They actually contacted the home owners about us having visitors. We were really bummed that the neighbors were sticklers about us having our relatives visit. We did have to cut the visit short after being told that if our relatives did not leave the premises the police would remove them for trespassing. Andy with Dauphin Island Real Estate delivered the news in person but handled a very uncomfortable situation with class. Besides the above situation, the house was perfect for our group of 12. Plenty of room, A/C kicked out some great cool air, kitchen was stocked with any utensil we needed (we didn't eat out once) kayak included along with beach chairs and lots of kid's beach toys. The ice machine was clutch! The view of the ocean is BEAUTIFUL! Easy walk out to the beach but watch out for the nails on the boardwalk because some are sticking up. Stop on your way in at Walmart to get items cheap. You can get items at the local shop called Ship and Shore which we loved, but it is expensive. Grab extra toilet paper and paper towels as well as laundry and dishwasher detergent. We really enjoyed our stay at this property!

Cleanliness of Property

Cleanliness of property. The inside of this house was a palace. The outside and underneath the house need work. Porch areas and wooden boardwalk are in need of repairs. Also Backyard needs to be cleaned/picked up of debris.

Springbreak

Wanted somewhere somewhat secluded because of covid— could not have picked a better place. Private beach and the kids had a blast fishing. A bit cold to get in water but to be expected. Kitchen was more than stocked. House was beautiful

Great Stat

This property was top notch. Very clean, extremely well stocked, lots of extras for the beach and an amazing view that made our beach experience exactly what we needed. The walk to the beach was flat and very easy. We would stay here again without any reservations.

Perfect vacation

Our stay was great! The house was clean and very spacious for 6 of us. We walked to the beach every day we were there. The host left us great recommendations for great food and fun things to do. In the evening we would play ping pong down stairs and hang out. The beds are some of the most comfortable to sleep on! We are definitely hoping to come stay again soon!!!

Great house! Open and gorgeous. Well supplied kitchen cooking equipment, dishes appliances. Beach Location was a little too far from the house. Nice pool and tennis court. More communication would have been helpful from the management company. We are a family of 6. We flew from Denver to Mobile. Of course, our rental car was extremely full, luggage, 2 car seats etc. Prior to our visit I inquired about what was available at the house . Meaning beach chairs, inflatables, beach toys and so forth. At first we were told that beach chairs were not available. We could purchase or rent chairs. Really? Who buys equipment like that to leave st a rental? Beach Rentals were very expensive . Finally, after asking several times , an associate from Management did go to the house and informed me there were chairs available. No mention of the additional items, such as a kayak, kids beach toys, an umbrella and a tent for the beach. A list of household items we should provide and purchase was inaccurate also. A waste of money!

Phenomenal home. Short, private walk to the beach for perfect sunset views.

We had a magnificent week in this home on Dauphin Island. Kitchen is well equipped, plenty of room, the back porch and deck are enormous and perfect for outside dining. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach, but on a private walkway and the beach itself is very private. Just a fantastic time over all. Highly recommend it.
