Coden Turtleback Island Hotels

"We loved this house! Everything was clean and the floor plan catered to our large group of 4 families with 2 kids each. Each bedroom was spacious and the open floor plan was perfect for cooking and entertaining. The kids loved the bunk room and having their own area. The beach access was quiet, close and met our beach needs. Only recommendation, of course the summers are hot and humid. We would spent more time on the back deck if there were ceiling fans. Will be back again!"

"Our stay at Blue Sky Breeze was amazing! We loved the location, the floor plan, the wrap around deck. The kitchen was spacious, there were 12 of us and we were quite comfortable. We also loved Dauphin Island! everything went smooth as far as check-in and check-out. We will be back!!!"

"One of the best rental homes we’ve ever stayed in! We hit up the Gulf side a few times which was right across the street. We spent most of our week on the Sound side on the dock fishing, on the shore, and by the pool. Kitchen is well stocked and appointed with ample plates, cups, pots/pans, bowls, etc, especially with Tony chachere's seasoning (a Louisiana staple). Grocery store on the island was fine. We went to Greer’s off the island once and that got us thru. We ordered food to-go most nights from local restaurants, but you need to be prepared to place your to go order early and in-person bc the restaurants get busy fast and simply can’t take to go orders and/or the phones get busy. Skinners seafood was our go to, plus Islanders, pirates pizza, and pirates bar and grill are all great. We also cooked up flounder we caught off the dock. For reference, we stayed at this property at the end of July; our party included myself and husband (we’re both 40), our 2 kids (ages 11 and 13), our 6 year old chocolate lab, and my father-in-law (in his 60s); none of us have mobility issues. The boardwalk out to the dock didn’t have a railing, which was fine for us but could be an issue for smaller children/elderly.If you are a low maintenance vacationer who likes gorgeous sunsets in a slightly off the grid setting, this is the place for you. We will be back next year!Also, the commercial grade ice maker has me spoiled for life!"

"Great property, not many places to eat or much to do on the island "

"Great layout and wonderful location!"

"Another excellent stay at Tidal Wave! Every type of water our group could want, easily accessible—pool, lagoon, bay beach, gulf beach. Several spacious rooms to retreat to, as well as places to gather. The giant sectional is the stuff of legends. The addition of a second fridge this year made keeping our forever hungry and thirsty kids happy a breeze. Looking forward to our next visit!"

"New property in convenient location, close to Gulf and Bay with 4 adult bedrooms plus bunk room for the children. Beautiful view of the sunset. There were a few issues which were quickly solved by the maintenance staff: ( WIFI, plumbing leak in 1 of the bathrooms)"

"Home was perfect for our family. Very clean & great views."
