Beautiful oceanfront home!

This house is just lovely! The location is terrific and we enjoyed the views and being right on the water. The 4 bedrooms were perfect all with en-suite bathrooms and being separated from the main living area was great! We were very happy with our first visit to Dauphin island and would definitely choose this house again!

The house right on the ocean is beautiful. The layout of the house is the best we’ve stayed in. The back deck is so large and enjoyable. We had a few issues that come with any rental, but it was great for our family. Bring extra trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher and laundry pods.

Wonderful stay

The house is beautiful and spacious. The access to the beach is great and not crowded at all. Each bedroom having its own bath was the cherry on top! The AC works great and there were additional blankets in the closets for use however they could certainly use a wash. Bring your own beach towels and chairs. The white couch in the living room could use a deep clean but overall a comfortable living space!

Fantastic home!

Loved having one bathroom per bedroom. What a luxury! The layout is great. Open concept living area. Huge back deck right on the water. Our favorite house so far on the beach. Bring a blanket as the bedrooms freeze while the living area is warm.

So close the crashing waves interrupt conversations!

So close to the water!! No need to bring shade for the beach! Set up under the house. We brought an umbrella, sail shade and a beach tent and ended up shading under the house. We brought and hung hammocks too. Great place to nap on a rainy day. Home and deck are great.

Blessed & Refreshed

OMgoodness! This place was amazing! We had 4 families join together for a family reunion vacation. We each had our own room with en-suite facilities! The family room & kitchen were huge. There were an abundance of board games to choose from, and a guaranteed sunrise & sunset view from the large deck. Beach access was right out our front door. A pod of dolphins swam by on our last day!! A perfect ending to a perfect stay!

Oceanfront Beauty

Ocean front 4 bedroom 4 bath. Beautiful house. Kitchen was very well stocked. Only 1 dish towel and 2 small rolls of paper towels were provided bring your own or buy on the island. Front Deck was fabulous! We loved having a dining table outside to enjoy the view at meals. The A/C is a little tricky an we froze for a couple nights. Views were excellent but beachfront is small as water was up to the house during our stay. Overall great stay! loved

Krakens Delight - it was a delight!!!

We just spent 5 wonderful days in the Kraken Delight. The house has plenty of room for a large family. The kitchen was full stock with all of the dishes, pots/pans, coffee pot both a drip pot and a Keurig cup. The beds were comfortable. Large deck/balcony with beautiful views. We didn’t use our canopy, when we need shade under the house was a great place to hang out. The beach was great! You are just steps to the water. We will definitely book this house again!! Be sure to bring your beach chairs!

Awesome Place!

This is an Awesome Home! The layout is great - 4 suites with their own bathroom,and the bedrooms are away from the main area of the kitchen and living room which keeps the bedrooms quite. The Beds are very comfortable. The home was spotless. The cleanest Vrbo/Air B&B home we ever rented. There are new dishes/cups/pots in the home. And, they are really nice. The location is the best on the island. The home is right on the beach. Very quite location. Very pet friendly and my dog loved it there. The balcony is awesome and directly facing the Gulf. The management company is very professional. We will be back soon!

Labor Day family trip

Our second time at this property and it didn’t disappoint! Great location and well equipped for large families. One minor complaint was the air conditioner filter and grill were filthy. Could be why the front of the house had a hard time cooling. I reported the day after check in and was informed maintenance would come take care of it. Six days later it was never changed and I never received a call.

Location and privacy

The location of this home is superb. It’s a very quiet area with your own slice of beach. The house is set up well to allow privacy. However, there are roaches all over the house and even on the deck. At night we couldn’t enjoy the deck because all the roaches came out. It’s a shame because the house is very pretty and has so much potential. The furniture needs to be cleaned especially the white couch as it has what appears to be blood stains and there are a lot of spills that haven’t been cleaned up. I notified Vacasa immediately when we saw the roaches that included pictures. I was never able to speak to anyone via text, email or in person at the local office. Because of those things we ended up leaving early. We had high hopes but unfortunately we will not be back and hope that Vacasa takes care of the pest problem.

On Deck stay

It was clean. Great location. The kitchen left much to be desired. No proper cookware. Smallest skillet possible. Everything looked as if it came from a garage sale. Crock pot had leg missing. There was plenty of decent silverware at least. Had to fix toilet seat. Only one towel per person and 3 hand towels and one wash rag total for 10 people. If we had known we needed to furnish these, we would not have needed to make a trip to Walmart. Beds were not comfortable at all. All the pillows were flat and cheap. I don’t think just because the house is for sale, is a good reason for the poor stocking. We will not be staying here again.

Second time around

This was our second time to rent this property because it was perfect for the size of our family! We love being so close to the water and our grandbabies enjoyed the back deck. Hopefully see you next year.
