Wonderful Family Visit
We throughly enjoyed the stay being close to the beach and the size of house was perfect for our family. We just have a few minor recommendations for improvement: 1. There is a small amount of mold growing close to kitchen and vents need to be dusted. 2. We believe there are roaches in the framework of house with a few coming in from behind the ocean side door frame while doors are closed. 3. Fridge was slow to cool with a few items not being fully refrigerated a few days later. Besides that, we had everything we needed and overall cleanliness was great. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Beautiful beach, house needs work, boring location
Pros: - the beach is spectacular and though neighbors are close, feels very private - house fit our group really nicely - bird sanctuary has really nice trail system Cons: - pool was broken (no heat) for most of our stay. Repair staff told us it breaks almost everyday and they keep coming out to ‘fix’ it but that owners really need to do a larger repair on it. - deck furniture, as mentioned in other reviews, could use major improvement. - deck needs to be redone. Major splinter issues with kids. - no grocery store nearby. Drove to Mobile to get affordable groceries for the week (3 hour endeavor). Everything on island is super overpriced. - towels are abysmal. Would be great to provide beach towels as well as proper bath towels. Anyone flying here doesn’t have ability to bring all of this themselves. - If you plan to only hang out at the house, this is a perfect vacation spot. Otherwise there is virtually nothing else to do on the island or within a one hour drive. - on island restaurants are pretty bad. Lastly, might have been in our packet somewhere, but emergency storm information would have been good to have. We had a pretty bad storm and weren’t sure what an evacuation might look like, how we would be notified. Doesn’t take much rain for island to flood. We had a great time, but with the amount we spent, I expected more.

Enjoyable
House setup and space was great. Several construction issues that needed to be addressed. Broken or loose railings, pool and hot tub had heating issues, hot tub jets didn’t work nor did any of the lights inside them work. Other than those minor things it was a very nice time

Relaxing at Strand Castle
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Strand Castle. All the kids had their own spaces, we had pool tournaments every night, and waking up to the view of the beach was priceless. This was our first time at Dauphin Island and Strand Castle helped make it a great trip. The kids loved being able to get into the pool and hang out on the beach that was "right there." The house was incredible. The views from the crows nest were unmatched!

Really enjoyed our stay! The location was spectacular! We really loved the crow’s nest—best view of the island, sunrises, & sunsets! Highly recommend—any concerns we had were promptly handled.

Family Vacation
The location was perfect. Being right on the beach was so nice. The pool and crows nest are a great perk. We had a couple of small issues and they were very quick to respond. The only real problem we had was with the deck furniture- way too uncomfortable to use.

Great but a few issues
We went for a get away and time to visit my mother. I have been recovering from a very long illness and needed a brief change of scenery. There was a small error in cleaning that was a simple mistake and would have been rectified but due to covid and my health, we elected to not have people come into the house to clean. The managment company was very sincere and honest and even had a dinner delivered to us b/c they felt bad. It wasn’t necessary but very appreciated. The only main issue that I had with this rental property was the lack of comfort. The beds were ok, not great, the furniture in the living room was ok. The big issue was outside. We generally spend a lot of time sitting outside listening to the ocean and with my health thats about all I can do. The deck wood was chipping and we all got splinters and all the deck furniture is old nailed wood. No padding or cushions. It was very uncomfortable. The game room upstairs was very nice and the kids enjoyed it greatly. The second floor balcony would have been nice but no place to sit. The crows nest is also very nice but only a wooden picnic table that was chipping too. Other than that, it is a reasonably nice house. The people at the management company were very responsive and seemed to be sincerely kind people which, for me, goes a long way. I may not stay at this property again but I would not hesitate to rent a property from Dauphin Island Beach Rentals.
