Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the house on Dauphin Island. The setup for our family was perfect. The house is a short walk across the dunes to a protected cove or the gulf. The house was well stocked (kitchen and bathrooms) and very comfortable. We will look at this house first the next time we're in town!

Family vacation 2022

We loved looking for shells on the beach. The Boys loved kayaking. The last night my son's family rode the bicycles and really enjoyed it. We took the ferry and had a sunset cruise., toured fort gains, the aquarium and hit all the shops.

Great House and Great Owners

The owner and associates were the best! They were very responsive to us and went the extra mile to ensure that we enjoyed everything about the house. The house itself was extremely comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out and the kitchen was very well equipped. The location was great - on top of a dune, in a private, undeveloped area. Recommend it highly.

Well appointed home with gorgeous views.

This home was very spacious. It was like staying in a friend’s home- full of books, toys, beach items, and more- for shared use. The views were amazing. Parking was ample- we brought 2 boats and had plenty of room. I would not consider it walkable to the gulf. But, a short drive will get you to the public pier or a permit was provided for easy access in many areas. It was very comfortable for our group of teens and adults.

Very unique house and great hosts!

Everything was so unique and interesting about the house! It was a perfect size for our big family and so wonderfully stocked with everything you would need. It was very clean and the hosts were so helpful and nice and went overboard to accommodate us!While we appreciated the hospitality of all the items/food supplied in the kitchen and house, it did make it a little challenging to not get confused with what was our stuff and what was already there. Also having enough room in the refrigerators for our 2 weeks of groceries since we bring our own food and do not eat out. This is not a complaint just a little challenge for us that we were not used to. The views were beautiful but it was a trek to the beach if you have babies and loads of stuff! The host got us a pass to the country club so we could play tennis which ended up being a very big part of our trip that we enjoyed as a family a lot!! Highly recommend!!
