Enjoyed our stay

Two Views makes for a great bayside vacation home on Dauphin Island. While it is a little worn around the edges, it is still comfortable beach house in a great location. And pet friendly as well. The view out back is awesome and the gulf view out front is nice too! The little bayou makes a nice feature. Our son caught mullets, crabs and shrimp in it with a casting net, and the kids enjoyed playing around it. Nice white sand beach between the bayou and the bay. The awesome views are its best feature.

The layout was amazing. We had 11 women for a girls trip and we never felt crowded. Kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of beds, extra pillows, and extra blankets. Beach is right across the street. We loved our stay and would stay again! Bring bug spray for the mosquitos.

The beach was beautiful and family oriented. This place was quiet. Perfect for a family. Will visit the destination again but we will choose a different house next time.

Great location.
The island is relaxing and the home is located in a quiet section of the island.

We loved staying at this place. It has a great view of water on both sides. Beautiful deck of the bay with a table to sit at.

We enjoyed our stay at “Two Views”. Beautiful location and the home had everything we needed in the kitchen. The views from the porch are incredible and relaxing. This was our 2nd stay and we will definitely return.

Annual reunion gathering. First time at Dauphin. Nice house ant a great price. Only complaint is Vacasa’s policy of wanting payment for early checkin / late check out up to a few hours until regular time. They’d know at least 24 hrs before and seems to me like they could allow it for free sooner if no one is there and place has already been cleaned.
5.0 / 5.0
Very spacious and equipped with all the essentials we needed. It was so close and convenient to the bay and the ocean. It was secluded enough to be peaceful and relaxing and yet close enough to attractions and restaurants.

Lovely home with great views and We enjoyed our time here. The kitchen has all cooking items you need. Just make sure to have everything to cook with like spices, spray, etc. Also, the grill was clean and ready to go. Our only complaints were that there was no cable tv and the washer didn’t work. The no cable normally wouldn’t bother us but a few days of our trip were rainy and windy so we had nothing to do outside. But otherwise it was a nice and peaceful stay.

Great location. My granddaughter and myself enjoyed our stay at 2 views, Dauphin Island.
3.0 / 5.0
The location was fantastic, loved the bay side and being able to walk across to the gulf. Beautiful views in the morning and afternoon from both decks. The house slept 2 families comfortably. We had a problem with the AC but the property management was able to correct it. The internet isn't the best if you need to work. And travelers should bring extras for the kitchen/bathrooms, ziplocks, spices, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, dish detergent, etc. The house isn't stocked with "consumables", it has a couple to get you going but it will not last a day or two with a full house. The house needs a little TLC, paint some updates, but overall it was clean.

Beautiful property on the bayside with a private beach. Across the street from Gulf. Beautiful porches to enjoy both view’s including sunrise and sunsets. Bring everything and anything you will need. The amenities are scant and scarce.

We wanted a beach house and it delivered,it did have 2 views.

My family of four stayed at Two Views for four nights. The check-in process was easy with the door code provided via email the day before.
The place was fairly clean, and it had almost everything we needed. There were plenty of regular bath towels and bath rugs, but no hand towels and only
The kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses, cups, pots, pans, plates and bowls. We found some baking sheets that were pretty beat up, but they worked fine for what we needed. There was plenty of silverware with the exception of butter knives. The cooking utensils were adequate, and the pots and pans worked fine.
The appliances in the kitchen were nice and clean, and we had dish soap, a new roll of paper towels, dishwasher pods, a new sponge, and a few dish towels to get us by.
The washer and dryer were older with rust on the top of the washer, but both worked for our needs. Management provided three laundry soap pods.
Both bathrooms were clean and had trial size soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and two rolls of toilet paper.
The furniture inside was okay, although there were some significant stains on the sofas. The beds were fine if you don't mind firm mattresses.
The outdoor dining set was really nice on the deck, but the rest of the furniture was old and faded. The deck itself could use a little updating as some of the boards were loose and rough.
The location was amazing with easy access to a semi-private beach side on the bay. We'd stay here again.

House was nice, very roomy. Pet friendly . Someone showed up unannounced while we were out to repair something. Not ok with that. Need to add listings for things to do in the area.

Had a great stay, wish we had a couple more days! We enjoyed sitting on the back and front porch. The weather turned cold and windy for our last day but luckily the view of the water from inside the house is just as gorgeous. Our group had 2 couples, so the layout of the house was perfect for us. Each couple had their own side of the house with a bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious enough to cook a family style dinner. I would gladly stay again someday.

The views from this home are beautiful. Lovely beach on the bay, very quiet and relaxing. We brought all our groceries with us and had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms are very comfortable. Two nice bathrooms with absorbent bath towels.

Everything, the sunrise, the sunset, the moon off the bay, the palms blowing in the wind, everything was right.
Only suggestion, someone PLEASE open a REAL supermarket.

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time! There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked. The dog was able to enjoy the stay on the deck because there was a gate at the stairs. Waking up to the views of this home was spectacular!
5.0 / 5.0
The house was very nice. Our chef (Debbie) loved the spacious kitchen. The wraparound deck was my favorite place to begin and end the day. The only negative was the ice maker in fridge didn't work and the Wi-Fi definitely needs an upgrade. That aside I would definitely stay again and recommend it to my friend.

We hit the jackpot with Two Views!! Very clean & exactly as described. Loved that the bay beach was literally steps away from the back door. The view was breathtaking!! The picnic table, lounge chairs & rockers on the decking overlooking the bay was icing on the cake! Also a porch swing on lower level….wow!! ❤️ A bit of the basics such as toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent & laundry detergent were provided to get us started. Some of the shades needed to be replaced & wouldn’t go down all the way. The grill is on its last leg. These weren’t issues for us, but I do feel that I need to be honest. Things such as a grill, paper towels detergent, etc. are a gracious amenity by the host & should not be expected. There was a beach wagon, umbrella & stuff to float on as well. Loved the outdoor shower! Can’t wait to come back again. This was our first trip to Dauphin Island, so here are a few tips: If you plan on dining out for dinner, go early! This is a very small, quiet, slow paced & family oriented area. EVERYTHING closes early!! Grocery shop BEFORE you get there. I think that’s it. 🤗

Overall everything was fantastic!! Bay is right behind house in which the kids loved looking for shells and walking along the bay. Ocean is across the road. We thought the beach access areas would be a hassle but we backed our truck up almost to the ocean to unload our stuff (not a big issue at all)!! Huge deck around the house (some uncovered and some covered) with plenty of chairs and 2 picnic tables to see bay or ocean. Communication with property manager was fantastic. Our air didn’t work when we arrived but with the excellent communication with the property manager the air was fixed in less than an hour of arrival. Will definitely stay in this house in the future!!!

4.5 stars. View was always uplifting but the sunsets were spectacular. Unit was fairly clean and comfy including the beds, kitchen was better than average. Eating area was small. DI is quiet and family friendly with no traffic and no crowds on beaches. 4.5 instead of 5 given because the living area and bathroom rugs did not appear or feel clean.

Two views - 5 stars!
Two Views was a perfect location with a wonderful view of the ocean and bay. Easy access to both. The house was clean and had everything needed. We had a great week and will book again.

Gorgeous Views
Wonderful place to stay for families! Bay side in back and Gulf side in front across the street. We spent time on both sides and loved each. We even saw dolphins 2 different days. A crane liked to hang out front also. The kids loved it! The gulf access is just a short 1/4 mile walk/ride down the road.

Nice place for a getaway!
I’d give 4.5 out of 5 if it was an option, but not worth dropping down to a 4. We came for 4 nights. The house was clean and in a good location. A little dated, but totally fine. The deck needs work and will definitely splinter if you have little ones or shufflers. There were only 4 of us and our dog, but it would’ve comfortably slept 8 without using the pullout sofa. We rented a golf cart and didn’t use our cars the entire stay. We ended up using the bay side more because it was private, had its own beach area and was much less windy than the beach. You have to go about 500 yards down the road to reach public beach access, but that was easy with the golf cart and we had the entire area to ourselves. Overall, the communication was good. It would’ve been nice to know where the hidden key box was up front. They’re also selling the house, so I was messing with the realtor key box using the wrong code for 30 min (including calling Vacasa for help) upon arrival before I found the right key box hidden under the railing. There are no instructions for TV/cable, but I figured them out enough to use Netflix. Living room TV’s sound was bad bc it’s old. Could’ve used additional toilet paper and paper towels. We ran out and home supplies are very expensive on the island.

BYO-everything
The location is good and the house is cute. Look out if there’s a storm, the one that blew through when we were there shook the entire house. The beds are comfortable and sitting on the deck looking over the bay is a nice way to start and end the day.
Some things that could be better to live up to previous experience and expectations:
- there is absolutely nothing supplied from a kitchen/ bath perspective so be sure to pack your own napkins, salt & pepper, coffee filters, Kleenex, etc. I expected at least some of these essential items to be available as they are in a hotel.
- bring your own toilet paper, the house supplied off brand is horrible
- don’t forget to bring beach towels
- the grill needs to be replaced, it’s too small and only two burners working
- no instructions for the televisions, multiple remotes that do who knows what

Beautiful location
We loved our first trip to Dauphin Island. Great location, quiet, private. Avery few people in the beach compared to the crazy noisy beaches of gulf shores. Location took longer to get to but worth it. Only suggestion, go after Tuesday’s and before the beginning of the next week. Mondays and Tuesday’s restaurants are booked for trivia nights. Also, when they say island time, Dauphin Island is no doubt the true example. Everything is slow down there. Go with lots of time to spare!
Grocery before going and try to eat at home every day as it’s nearly impossible to get in anywhere before they close!

Relaxing
Everything was very pleasant. Had everything one would need for time away. Would highly recommend visiting to anyone wanting a quiet and laid back experience.

Very relaxing and restorative time on a vacation we were long overdue!
We loved the clean and spacious house with room for us and our dogs! The house was decorated beautifully and the kitchen was stocked with every thing we needed ! Beds were very comfortable and we loved the stress-less recliners in the living room. All in all it was just beautiful and perfect for us ! The views from front and back were just beautiful!

Stayed at Two Views in late Sept. The house was clean and well stocked - plenty of pots, pans, plates, silverware, blankets, and towels. The area was quiet, with direct bay access and access to the ocean side across the street. The younger kids loved the bunk bed room, though it was small and without a chest of drawers (my wife unpacks, I live from the suit case). The other three rooms were nice as well, but it’s noted there is no “master suite” and the two bathrooms were in good shape, but basic (and no tub in either). The house looked as if it had been recently updated with good paint, new appliances etc. The deck was a mix of older and newer, as expected after the summer hurricane hit, but this home appeared to have had very little damage. We loved the area, spent time out with the dog at the water, went to Foley for the zoo and to Fort Gaines as excursions.
Only downside, the main table was broken and not fixed while we were there. Vacasa said they send maintenance, but we never saw anyone. Wasn’t a huge deal, as we enjoyed eating out on the deck.

Wonderful vacation
This is a beautiful home with a great view of the bay and access to the ocean just across the road. The home is well stocked and comfortably slept our family of 7 with room spread out. We loved the island atmosphere and hope to spend many more vacations there. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend our vacation in you home.

Perfect Location
We loved our stay at Two Views. The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. There were even numerous beach toys and books for our grandchildren to use. The location is perfect. The back deck faces the bay, and it was fun to walk down to the water and collect shells. The view was spectacular, and it felt very peaceful to look out at the water. The front deck faces the ocean. You have to cross the street to get to the ocean, but the ocean is very close and a quick walk. You can see the ocean from the front deck and kitchen window. I can see why it is called Two Views. We would highly recommend a stay there.

Great home away from home
The location of this house on the island is perfect. It’s not too close to the hotels & motels but not too far down that you feel isolated from everything. It’s a bright cheery place that we immediately felt at home and comfortable in. Kid friendly as well! Will definitely be booking it again next year!

We LOVED this home! Kitchen was well stocked, house was very clean & LOVE these floors! Having a gate on the deck steps was a life saver for us, as we had our 2 dogs with us and they had run of the deck without us having to worry about them. It was really windy most of our visit, but with a deck around 3 sides of the house, we could go out front & get out of the wind, but still be in the sun. It was just a short walk to the beach on the bay (?) side, and we had this little stretch practically to ourselves. IF it is raining when you arrive, enter through the backdoor under the covered patio....we didn't figure that out until after we got soaked getting access to the key and entering, lol! Would definitely stay here again!
