The house is large and in a wonderful gated community. The beach is so close, and the community has a pool. With small grandchildren, we knew we needed a pool and a beach. The house has many items in the storage area, that made the beach experience so much easier. Two collapsible wagons, several bikes, beach toys, beach umbrellas were all items we used at the beach. There is a corn hole game to play at the house, a few card games, puzzles, and books. We really appreciated the private beach and boardwalk.
It seems hard to get groceries on Dauphin Island, so we suggest purchasing groceries before you head to the island.
