Reviewer Comments:
We were in unit 310. It was clean, nicely appointed, had a great view of the beach. It was comfortable for the two 60+ couples staying there. There were only 4 wash cloths, but it was sized for 6 and our older kids came for a couple nights. Luckily a friendly neighbor gave us a couple more. The walk to the beach is long, made longer by the record-breaking heat that week. We rented umbrellas and chairs to keep out of the sun. The water was nice, though tepid at best. All that has little to do with the place though. The two pools were very clean and inviting. A few kids were playing there from time to time, which gave a homey feel. The balcony offered a great place to read and listen to the ocean when it wasn't too hot. I've seen some talk about the drill rigs offshore. You can see them. They are about 4 miles out but they look closer. They are gas rigs, not oil rigs. We found it fun to estimate their distance, and what the different structure were for. They had no real impact on our stay. At night they light up like Christmas trees, looked like a party was going on. I though it was interesting. No real impact on star gazing. We had a good time, and no problems with the place. Dauphin Island is small and quiet. You need to plan ahead if you wan to eat out or see attractions. But there was good food to be had, and short drive up to Mobile if you want something fancier. We checked out the aquarium and that was fun. Plenty of AC, and you can try to pet the rays in the petting pool. Overall I'd recommend this place to friends looking for a quiet beach.
