Nice property close to the beach
The property is clean and well maintained. All the amenities needed are provided. Check in and check out details were not provided, so had to contact the owner and wait for a response when we arrived and did not know what was expected of us upon leaving. Code lock doors would be a convenient upgrade. I would definitely stay here again.

Not what was advertised
We were looking for a quiet getaway with our family and dogs. We wanted a home you could walk directly to the beach, had a huge grill for our family, and a stair gate so our dogs could wander the porch and enjoy being outside (our oldest dog loves laying out in the sun). We thought when we found this listing it was perfect because it checked all the boxes. When we got there though it was not as shown. There were two small charcoal grills (one we could not use) instead of the four-burner grill shown in the pictures. There is not a storage building with bikes, chairs, and beach supplies. A piece of plywood was supposed to be used as the "stair gate" but would blow down with the smallest wind so we could not use it or let our dogs on the porch. The main road was closed off at the end so you could not enter the beach and had to walk through a neighbor's yard and down a different road to get to the beach. There were also multiple safety concerns. Just two out of many was the window in the living room was busted out with plywood over it and the water heater had a rusted hole in it (along with electrical burns from shorting out). The owner was incredibly combative and aggressive when we brought our concerns to them as the listing was incredibly misleading. The owner acted unprofessional and aggressive. They even stated we should just go out and buy a stairgate and should have "prepared better". Why would we if it was listed as something that was on the property? Do not stay here.

Ideal for what our large family needed
We had 9 people total, including 2 “under 2,” some specific needs, and this house checked all our boxes. Also, the owner was quick to respond to all my questions, to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, enjoyed the trip and was completely satisfied with the house! **Pros: 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs bathroom, so there was 1 accessible at all times Pet policy allows for multiple small/medium dogs Plenty of pots, pans, & utensils for cooking. AC works insanely well. Mattresses on the beds are very comfy Direct balcony access from the downstairs bedroom and 2 of the upstairs ones. 2 grills available, 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. Owner is very responsive and will help you out with questions. Also pretty laid-back and doesn’t have an to-do list of outrageous check-in/check-out chores. **Cons (these are more about the DI area in general, not the house specifically, not really things the owner can control or “fix”) The bugs on DI are AWFUL. Everywhere. A few locals mentioned that they’re usually bad, but this year was particularly bad. Bring lots of bug spray and candles if you go to DI The walk to the beach from the house is pretty short, but it’s a tough little trek, especially if you have littles or are carrying chairs/tents/etc in a wagon. The sand is very loose all down the path, and you have to walk over a hill both ways. Overall, really enjoyed it, and 100% would stay at this house again!

VRBO slum lord
To be fair the location to the beach is excellent as well as the views. However, that was quickly overshadowed by the moldy, tattered and busted outdoor furniture. When we entered the house there was not a feeling of cleanliness- it was immediately noticeable that floors were not swept, carpets not vacuumed, the fridge had an inch of dust on top, dust everywhere. The biggest disgusting part was the 3 foot pile of dirty laundry in the utility closet. We reached out to the host who gave us a sob story about unrepeatable cleaners in the island. He found another local cleaner and had me explain what was wrong. Along with the general dirtiness, - dog toys and dust under every couch- most of the beds did not have a full set of sheets and many of the comforters smelled. She came to do a cleaning but ultimately refused because it was way dirtier than she had been told. She reached her breaking point when she was told to wrap the sheets around her head and smell them. If they weren’t that bad, she should put them on!!!!! The host did not follow up to see if things were satisfactory and did not resolve the issue. Who wants to spend their vacation going rounds with a host that only gives excuses? The photos and amenities listed are not accurate.

Multi-Generational Vacation
We took our first multi-generation vacation together. My husband, our son and daughter plus their spouses, our daughter's mother-in-law and our first grandbaby. Our house accommodated our needs perfectly. My favorite feature was the farmhouse dinner table. Large enough to seat all of us to eat, AND the perfect size for playing games as a group. The deck gave us a place to gather as a group, or sit quietly reading a book or just enjoy the sites and sounds of the beach. The house was the perfect blend of space and cozy to provide us with a fantastic first multi-generational vacation. Added bonus, we had a front row seat to the island's 4th of July Fireworks on the beach!

House okay but cleaning crew needs to be fired!! We all wondered if our bedding had been changed because of cookie or cracker crumbs found on top of one of the beds. The tablecloth was nasty. Front of appliances all needed cleaning. Items listed in description were not available; i.e. grill, chairs, bikes, etc. .

We enjoyed our visit to Dauphin Island tremendously! Our beach house was exactly as pictured. It was a wonderful process from booking to check out. The host, Gavin, was very responsive to any inquiries I had and made our trip easy breezy. We loved the porches and cozy beds. We found everything we needed available in this home. The walk to the beach was a nice stroll and quick access. Many new memories were made and we definitely enjoyed some peaceful relaxation! We will definitely be back!

Great spot!
We have always wanted to stay in one of these beach houses, and we had so much fun. The beach is a short walk from the house, and you can clearly see the ocean from both floors of the two story deck. There’s a grill and picnic table on the deck with some nice patio couches and Adirondack chairs. The house is perfectly suited for multiple families with kiddos. There is a main floor master and another bedroom with an en suite plus three bedrooms with bunk beds upstairs. It was nice to have a washer and dryer, and there were plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, towels, extra pillows, etc. A couple tips: - Grocery shopping is expensive on the island, so we stopped closer to Mobile on our way. - It’s a good idea to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, ziploc bags, and trash bags. We used more than was there, but we had ten people in our group. - We also brought some dish tabs and tide pods so we could run the dishwasher and do laundry. - Expect to be active if you stay here. Lots of stairs and walking the dunes to get to the beach. Dragging our beach wagon was a pain, and I was wishing we’d brought our bag cooler. The owner was super helpful and communicative, which is always appreciated. The island is beautiful and there are several parks and historic sites a short drive away. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Dauphin Island.

Great stay and great location
Just wrapped up my trip for spring break. The house was great and comfortably slept 16. Beach is about a 3 minute walk at most, the beach was also great for relaxing and activities. Would recommend staying here for all types of events. Only advise for future guests: - bring toilet paper - bring dishwasher soap - bring laundry pods The house had enough for us to get settle the first day but we ran out pretty quickly. The listing might even say that but it wasn’t a big deal, we just didn’t plan for that. The store is a 5 minute drive and has all of those items. The host also had great communication and a very easy check in. Would definitely come back. Also when ur here get Pirates Pizza and Wings, it’s an absolute 10/10

Deception
Our biggest complaint was hidden fees. The house we chose said it slept 16 in the advertisement. When we booked it, I had to pay 420.00 extra for guests. When asked the renter said there was a 10 dollar fee for anyone staying over 6 people. When asked why he said it was a standard in the industry. This is crap to me. If a house says it holds 16, any number up to 16 should be included. Certainly not only 6. If that were the case I would not have paid for a house that held 12 as we had. I would have booked a house that help 6. In addition I certainly could have told the renter I only had 6 people and saved 420 dollars. Complete deception in all of our opinions. I would certainly expect a refund for 420.00 and would like to have a better explanation. Also this should be very clear in the add.

This house worked perfect for the week. We had 28 people in our family total so 14 stayed in this house and another 14 rented the house next door that the backyard touches. This house slept our 14 comfortably. The decks, views and short walk to the beach cant be beat. The washer and dryer in the house was very convenient. House had everything we needed and we all agreed the beds were extremely comfortable as well as the porch furniture.

The house needs some TLC. The refrigerator stunk like fish so bad. The air conditioner vents dripped on people’s beds. The hammocks hanging below the house were ripped and dangerous so we took them down. The lighting for stairs up to the house were mostly burnt out. Our family loved the area and loved the ocean, beaches and rented golf cart. Will rent in the area again but probably not this house.

Great house and host!! Aplus stay!
Ideal for FAMILY or large group making memories. Apples to Apples, kayak provided, fully stocked kitchen, views of the beach, decks for sunrise and sunsets, and a super bed for everyone up to 14. We even had one choose the couch. TVs with connection to Netflix etc in all but one bedroom. Hammocks under the house were the favorite for my 11 year old autistic son. We used sand toys and intertubes to ride the waves! Funny story I booked the wrong night and with a midnight 'save us' call to the owner at MIDNIGHT he found another property for ALL of us for the one night!! Gavin as a hosts reminds me why we ONLY choose STRs now. Thank you for going above and beyond. Dauphin Island took a piece of our hearts this week! We hope to return someday to find it again.
