Great location and amenities on the island!

The location was a short distance from the pool and the beach. The outdoor shower and bathroom was nice to have! Ice machine in the kitchen was an added plus!

Great home with tons of beach toys, chairs, etc. Make sure to bring all essentials for cooking if you plan on eating in. There are no supplies for cooking, but the best options for pots, pans, utensils, coffee makers, etc. I have seen in a vacation rental. Great spot to relax on the upstairs screened porch or the bottom outdoor sitting area with a hammock and hot tub! Close to the pool and boardwalk to the beach. Great places to eat and just unwind!

Stay was great from check I, response of property management, availability of beach items, linens, towels and kitchen items. Having a hot tub available was great but had a lot of sand in there before our usage and ended up buying a hot tub vacuum to clean. Overall, best and quiet neighborhood and close to beach access. A team even came by to roll out the trash can before we had the opportunity to do it ourselves. Fantastic stay, definitely would love to use the same home again for a vacation. Boys had a great time crabbing for dinner and got to go on nice Long Beach walks myself with the hubby.
Beautiful setting, outlay
Great short walk to the beach
Lots of sand crabs, blue crabs for crabbing

Absolutely perfect!

This house is absolutely perfect! It has everything you could even imagine needing! Also the amount of pool and beach accessories was crazy! Minus buying your food and sunblock you will be set for your stay!

Beach vacation

The house was as advertised. Clean, well stocked with kitchen items, beach toys/ items, a wagon for easy travel to the beach, and bikes that were easy to use and adjustable for riding by my 10 and 11 year olds. The only outstanding concern is the hot tub. The hot tub is not properly grounded so when you reach into the hot tub from the outside with bare feet you end up feeling a bit of a zing. I did alert Vacasa of this early in the stay but there was not resolution or communication of resolution upon departure. While there we also have enjoyed touring fort gains, seeing the USS Alabama, and taking the Duke on a lighthouse tour. Check out Baudean's for some great sea food.

Nice Place - read on

Our evaluation of the property is good but what is important to us may not be to you. The house is in good shape, was clean and well stocked with amenities. Everything from a good washer and dryer to plenty of useful items in the kitchen. The internet was not working when we got there which didn't let us watch TV either. They were responsive and fixed it within 24 hours.. The TV in the master bedroom had not been set up and did not have a proper remote to control it (not a battery issue). The TV in the bedroom is nothing to complain about, just an FYI. The house had bikes, beach chairs, hot tub, etc and everything was in good condition. Pretty much as advertised. The house is in a gated neighborhood which is nice so even is all the houses are full, the population density of the area is still low. This was very nice. Our issue is that the beach is about 1/4 of a mile away. This was made tougher by the fact that the ramp path to the beach was under repair and we had to drag our stuff through the grass. The beach was great and not commercialized. It was the to and from the beach that was our only complaint. If you have small children, the furniture in the place like the couch and indoor dining chairs have light colored cloth coverings so keep control of the snacks and drinks. We would like to come back sometime when our kids are older and are able to help take things to the beach. The big issue for us was having distant access to the beach with small kids.

Well appointed house, close to the beach with a great kitchen and outdoor porch.

We loved the spacious, well appointed kitchen, and the comfortable living space inside the house and on the screened-in porch. We enjoyed using the hot tub and bikes that came with the property when not on the beach. Downstairs storage room is perfect for beach chairs, wagon, umbrellas etc. Blake, our Vacasa contact, was extremely helpful and responsive in resolving an issue we had on our arrival, and could not have been more helpful. Many thanks for a great week! We love Dauphin Island, and will be back!
