The house was clean, the deck was great, and the location was superb! The house is in need of updating and repairs: holes in walls, hairdryer with broken plug exposing live wires, towels threadbare and stained, stove burner pans need replaced, front shower head leaks at connection, cannot take showers in each bathroom at the same time, beach chairs rusted, mattresses very saggy and uncomfortable.

Perfect Honeymoon spot

My wife and i wanted a nice quiet stay with a breath taking view and we got just that. Very quaint house, very minimalistic, but well spaced out. Private beach on the bay side and minutes feom everything.

Perfect getaway.

Midway to West end beach or East end boat ramp/ferry. We like the private beach area facing the bay view. House is nicely furnished with the comfort of home. Will highly recommend to others.

Beach space

This home was perfect for our family to enjoy a long weekend!! Lots of space right out front on the water. The sleeping spaces had an extra door to close for more privacy and quiet. Great rent!!

Perfect location

Great view of the bay and a short walk to the gulf side. The place was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was the mattresses. Like other reviews have said they are pretty bad. I’d at least recommend a mattress topper if nothing else.

So great!

We loved the proximity to a private bayside beach, hardly any waves (great for small kids!), cleanliness and comfort of the house, and great price. The public beach was easy to walk to as well. My only complaints would be that the listing said there were spices stocked and there were none (and the only store on the island only carried giant containers of salt and pepper), and the WiFi was spotty (hard to connect to smart tv, but this wasn’t a big deal). Also, just fyi, standard baby gates won’t fit the width of the deck stairs, so plan accordingly with babies and toddlers. Other than those minor details, it was a great house and a great vacation!

Great house and location

This beautiful house was in the perfect location right on the bay, with a little beach area right out the back door. And only a short walk to the Gulf. Although we didn't even go to the gulf side the whole week we were there. The beach area behind the house was perfect for the grandkids. No big waves...no seaweed and not deep until you walked way out. The area was perfect also. Not crowded...and we were there Memorial Weekend. The only traffic you have to worry about is the occasional slow golf cart. The restaurants were amazing. This was our first time coming here. And definitely my new spot.

Quiet with incredible view

I usually stay on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island. This is my first rental on the bay side and I was pleasantly pleased with the view and peaceful calming location. Keyless entry was very difficult to use when entering the front door.... My hands are large and could barely push the complex number sequence without pressing more then one button at a time. I would go here again for sure.

Delighted but Disappointed Rente

The house is at a great location and Dauphin Island is beautiful with friendly locals. But this house is very worn and not kept clean. Very few appliances were available and dishes looked as if they were saved from a thrift store.

Inexpensive Beach Front Windsurfing House

This home is not deluxe and has a few issues, but that is reflected in the price. Its greatest feature is beach access in the back yard. We were able to windsurf right off the yard and store our gear without de-rigging. The out door shower wasn't plumbed, the DVD players didn't work, and the blinds in the bedroom were broken and flimsy and unable to sufficiently block the bright lights from the house next door. But these were small inconveniences and the house was comfortable enough for relaxing after blasting around windsurfing in the gulf all day!

Needs some updating

Overall the property was ok. The inside was very clean when we arrived. The following needs attention:-Mattresses on all 4 beds need to be updated.-The front door needs adjusting, sits crooked in frame enough that the dead bolt just sits in the hole. Would not take much to push the door open.-The stove needs to be leveled. Couple of burners did not fit properly in the slots.-The exhaust fan in the hall bathroom (by the 2 bedrooms) does not work at all.-The listing states there were tv’s in all three bedrooms. There is NO tv in the bedroom with the two twin beds.-There are labels on wall switches, which is great, but would be nice to be able to read them. -The pots and pans were decent for cooking. The location is nice, located in a very quiet neighborhood with a great deck and gas grill that was clean. The Gulf side beach is a very short walk up the block and across the street.

My friend and I just returned home from this place. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The host, Vacasa, was outstanding! It was clean and more than we expected as far as the closeness to the bay and gulf beach. We fished and then walked to the beach. The only thing that could be a negative is there was no dishwashing pods or liquid. No detergent for the washer. But we brought both. Our trip was excellent!
