This property is well maintained and fits our large family. It is directly on a private beach which is right out the back door 50 feet. Most of our days were spent just playing on the beach. Dauphin Island is not very busy and does not have a lot to do but if its perfect for a couple day getaway to the beach.

Nice, roomy house but all the mattresses were awful! They were so creaky that no one slept very well. Also, the area around the outside of the house was unkept. Lots of trash.....even a pile of someone’s hair.

Every year my extended family takes a week long vacation in a VRBO home at various locations at a beach or in the mountains. This was a beach year, so after some research, we chose this house on Dauphin Island for the first time. We LOVED the island and the beach in front of the house. The neighborhood is a gated community and very safe and secure. We took our bikes and easily were able to bike around the island, as well as take a short walk to the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, which is beautiful and a must see! We also visited the Sea Lab, which was great on a rainy afternoon. We rented kayaks and were able to use those from our beach, but the current was a bit stronger than anticipated for this. Others had mentioned the posts sticking up on the beach when entering the water, but if you are careful, you figure out where they are and avoid them. Overall the water and beach were great, and the best feature of this property! The house itself, as another reviewer mentioned, does have issues. As most reviewers have already said, the mattresses need upgraded to anything halfway decent. We planned ahead and invested in some mattress toppers, which helped. Upon arrival, we found one set of sheets on a bed were dirty, but luckily there was a clean set in the closet. We did have an issue with ants as well as other insects in the house, which was reported and the property manager had the exterminator come the following day. The chairs on the decks were not the greatest, and some of the dining chairs provided were cracked/broken. The kitchen was stocked, but there wasn't enough silverware for our family of 10. For the most part, things were clean and it was a comfortable stay; however, for the money we spent for this rental, we have stayed much better accommodations on the beach. We will return to the island, but likely not this same house.

This property had a lot of issues. Some had been previously mentioned in reviews which I gave them the benefit of having corrected. The real estate company was very responsive to the issues but they offered temporary solutions which accommodated us but didn’t permanently resolve the issues. That would be up to the homeowner and they don’t appear to be interested in the comments or maintaining the house. The house itself is very spacious. It sits 15 yards from the ocean, much closer than it appears in the photo. It was nice to have a private beach. Lots of room for quiet beach walking as it is near the bird sanctuary but on days with high tide there was no open beach in front of the house. The ocean directly in front of the house is dangerous due to old pier remnants but if you want to be in the ocean there is plenty of safe area down the beach. It is perfect if your desire is to sit on a spacious porch and feel like you are sitting on the beach. The beach is very quiet and natural so there are both advantages and disadvantages.

We loved it. Perfect layout for a big family / multiple families with kids and dogs. Well-supplied kitchen equipment made it easy to cook all our meals during our stay. We loved having our own little private beach! Two downsides: uncomfortable beds, and tree stumps hidden in high tide caused some scrapes and bruises. These could possibly be flagged?

Lots of room! We had 3 families here, 7 adults, and 4 kids under age 7. The water/beach is closer than it looks! We left our tent and toys out and nothing was stolen. Very safe. *Only issue: there are old wood posts left from piers in the water so you have to watch out for those.

This home is just gorgeous with an almost private beach. Plenty of room and bathrooms and very well equipped kitchen. The outdoor spaces have ocean views and neighborhood is quiet. We had a perfect vacation and will return.

Very quiet location with almost private beach. Newer house was very nice and had everything we needed. Walk down the steps and onto the beach! Only criticism is the bed mattresses. Uncomfortable and noisy, really should be replaced with upgrades. And maybe a few more deck chairs. Otherwise an excellent choice and would stay here again! The island has a great small town atmosphere and is a welcome change from other gulf coast commercialized locations. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation with family.
