My family stayed here over spring break (late March). Great price, quiet location and within walking distance (5 min) from a public park, basketball court, and skate park. Took my 5, 7, and 9 year olds there multiple mornings when we took our dog on a walk.
Property was exactly as listed. I noticed ice cube trays were added after another review recommended. I would recommend leaving more than one coffee filter. We bought a pack and left for future guests. The filters are pennies on the dollar. I would also recommend looking at the deadbolt to the inner door (also mentioned in an earlier review) as well as the latch to the kids room. I had to take off the strike plate in order to get the door to stay shut because the knob wasn’t aligned. A big deal for parents wanting to stay up after their kids go to sleep and need the door closed to keep the bunk room dark.
King bed is soft and bunk beds comfortable. Early reviews mentioned a slow draining bathroom sink, that must have been fixed because we had zero issues. The living room and master bedroom tvs were large Roku tvs with multiple apps signed into by former guests. We watched several family movies on HBO thanks to former logins. Remember to logout when you leave.
For the price point we feel like we struck gold. We sampled all 3 public beaches, paying $5 daily parking lot rates. We easily saved $100s by choosing this location rather than beachfront for 6 nights.
Would definitely rent again on future visits.

The location is great for walks and beaches. The condo was very nice and the beds were very comfortable. A little concerning was the deadbolt on the back door did not work. Loved the washer/dryer setup. Also, a lot of floor noise from the upper unit and stairway. But would definitely return.
5.0 / 5.0
It is just as the booking lists and the pictures! I was a bit confused on the washer/dryer until I realized they are in the back in a separate building. Place is clean and was perfect for the 3 of us, including small dog! Only thing that was aggravating, was the bathroom sink was stopping up and the beds only had a thin quilted cover, no flat sheet, and ours had dog hairs on fitted sheet. Of course that is to be expected with dogs, I suppose. The master bed sets up high, as I'm short, but was comfortable. It was cold this past week there! But the beaches are pretty. We enjoyed the East End beach, but the West End had more fishermen there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and want to come back when it gets warmer!

Overall, it was a very comfortable space to be in to enjoy the island. Loved the laundry facility and the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. After a bit of a rocky start, in which karin promptly and patiently attended to, the rest of the visit was smooth sailing.

We had a lovely time in a quaint apartment off a quiet street that was still walking distance to a small beach. If you want to go fishing, the beach next to Pirate's Bar and Grill is an excellent location. They were jumping the entire time we sat in quiet tranquility! We also greatly appreciated a place we could stay with our dogs. Thank you Amber!

For the price it was great little getaway the only thing that I would suggest is ice trays. The binder is full of great info if you are not from the area.

Clean and comfortable. Tv hard to use, slow drain in bathroom sink, loud running A/C, were all adapted to and overcome. VRBO was excellent to deal with and very cordial. I would deal with again. Thanks for an excellent stay. It’s certainly appreciated.

Awesome, cute condo. No stairs (except to the laundry room, 4 pairs of washers and dryers, I wondered when I read the listing) and a hallway in between one and two which worked out great for us (my cousin’s family stayed in #2). The condo was laid out excellent for our purposes and felt a lot bigger than it was! My three sons loved the bunks and rotated out so everyone got a night on top. It was a short drive to the three public beaches and we tried them all, we recommend the quiet east end cove for little kids swimming. The upstairs was loud (little kids running) but as parents we didn’t mind, if it bothers you then you might want to book the upper units. Quiet street and everything was clean as a whistle. Would definitely come back!

When we first booked the stay, the owners were very responsive. I sent the pics to my kids and they were excited. It did not disappoint, great location between all the beaches and restaurants. Pics were exactly how it looked also. Very peaceful and quaint area. We definitely look forward to seeing if we will be able to stay there again.

My family and I enjoyed our stay, the staff and owners are very quick to respond if you need something. Housekeepers do an excellent job and very nice. Only thing is the neighbor next door needs to leave how to speak to people with our being so rude. Im from NC and did not know the area. But we will be coming for another vaction.

The stay was great! The place was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We discovered a beach behind the property that you do not have to pay for like the others. Just follow the trail behind the condo, go over the sand dune, and walk a short distance to the secluded spot. I do suggest to wear closed toed shorts or even rain boots because some of the areas you walk through have sticker burs.
Overall, great experience! We really enjoyed our stay

We arrived and could tell exterminators had recently been there because there were several dead bugs on floor. Otherwise clean. Disappointed that there was no dishwasher. Couldn’t find laundry. Had to leave early and droppedessahe to owner but no response. Owner should put door sweep on front door because there is large gap for mugs to crawl in

Overall nice getaway and nice accommodations that were close to the beach which was our main reason for visiting. Nice location for having a pet as well. Only issue was very loud guests above us which is no fault of property.

This was a sweet little home away from home. They had all the amenities we needed for our stay. I especially appreciated the laundry room in the back of the property, it made for regular cleaning of swim suits and towels possible and made our beach trips enjoyable and easier to manage. Thank you for letting us rent! We look forward to future stays with our kids and friends.

This condo was a great choice! The location was perfect. We enjoyed reading and bird watching at the golf club beach, it was nice that it was so close by. The property owners were easy to communicate with, and the unit was very clean and quiet. Most enjoyable!

Near lots of places, we rented bikes that were dropped off for us. Loved it all. The only thing I would love is that the deadbolts would have worked on the door. Overall great time we will be back!

Perfect for our stay. Mom with three kids and a dog. Everyone felt comfortable and safe. Loved the dunes in the back. Short bike ride to playground at end of street. Easy access to beach and restaurant at Pirates. Property manager was easy to contact and happy to answer questions.

It was clean. The hosts were very good to work with. The unit was listed as having a dishwasher, however, there was not a dishwasher. They apologized for the error. It would have been perfect for our family, if there had been a dishwasher, other than that we were comfortable here.

We stayed here because we have a 14 lb dog that goes wherever we go. The quiet street allowed for nice walks. The property is an updated older condo.
5.0 / 5.0
Hosts were quick to respond to questions. We wanted minimal steps and pet friendly location. We had family staying on the beach and there place was a couple miles from our rental. I was able to walk over there a few times to get some steps in. The very nice washer dryer units are conveniently located in a small building right behind the unit. TVs had all the stations available. Wi-Fi worked great. No dishwasher but wasn’t a big deal. Bring paper plates, cups and utensils if you don’t want to wash a few dishes! Our dogs LOVED the sand dunes that we easily accessed a block from the house. Condo decor was perfect. Thanks.

Love Dauphin Island
We really enjoyed our stay here and the condo was just perfect for my family! It was clean and comfy! Some of the businesses/restaurants that we’d hoped to visit have odd hours and therefore we missed them. Just be sure you check days and hours of operations ahead of time so you don’t waste a minute of your vacation time having to figure out a plan B. Alternatively, we took a short trip to Bayou La Batre where the locals are very friendly! Overall, our first time on Dauphin Island was great and can’t wait to go back ❤️

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. The condo is newly renovated. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. Although it is not on the beach, it is not far to any of the public beaches on the island. Be warned that eating out on this island can be a challenge. It is a small island and a lot of things close early or aren't open some days. This made us grateful for the kitchen in the condo.
We toured Ft. Gaines and went to the aquarium on the island. Both were fun and interesting and worth the cost of admission.
Overall, this rental is a lot of value for the price, and you will love this quaint little island town.

Absolutely Lovely
This cute property did not disappoint. Quiet area. Great location for walks in the neighborhood and to the beach. Close driving distance to everything. Way more layer back then Orange Beach. Here we can take our dog to the beach. We definitely recommend. Very clean, cozy, and minimal chemicals used.
