What a beautiful vacation home - a perfect location for our extended family to gather and reconnect. We spent our days enjoying the beach, cooking together, and playing lots of games! The house is wonderfully clean, well kept, and the owner is super easy to communicate with. A gem of a vacation home!

Stayed at Harmony again and it was another great stay. House and location perfect for a party of 9. Julie was great again to communicate with. House is in great condition with all the amenities you could possibly. Will be returning again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at Harmony! The house was well equipped for all 11 of us. It was great to have everyone spread out on different floors and a game/ tv area on the first floor for the grandkids. The beach and the pool were very nice. Especially enjoyed the early morning walks watching the birds and the dolphins!
Julie was so easy to work with. Gave us lots of info on the Island and was quick to answer any questions. Just a great experience!

Location was nice. First time at Dauphin Island. Julie provided a lot of good recommendations. I do feel like there were a lot of “rules” associated with the rental (examples- how to wash the pots & pans, no food on carpet - although there were rugs everywhere - including dining room, etc.)which made us feel slightly paranoid that we were not doing everything correctly, especially since we had younger children with us. Overall the trip was good though and Julie responded promptly if we needed anything.

This was very easy and efficient, thanks for the experience

It was the perfect house for our large family. There was easy access to the beach, as well as the mainland via the bridge and the ferry. In addition, there were fun things to do for all ages (fishing, aquarium, water park near gulf shores and plenty of souvenir shopping). Our rental home accommodated 8 adults, 3 teenagers and a toddler. It was very spacious with 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Overall, our vacation was fun, relaxing and enjoyable,

The house was great for our group of 4 families. We were each able to have our own spaces and places to be together. We enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The grandkids liked the porch early in the morning and the porch on the third level was a great place for rest time. The beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and the wagon and wheelbarrow to takethem to the beach was much appreciated. We enjoyed the pool as well. The outdoor shower was great after being in thr breach. Thank for sharing this wonderful home with us!m

Change of pace and much needed
We were looking for a change of pace this year and the Harmony House was perfect. Great access to the beach and pool; as well as being close to many things, including the Ferry if we wanted to venture to Fort Morgan and Orange Beach/Gulf Shores.

Fun for all
Our group included four generations of family and everyone had a great time. Lot of spaces gave everyone room to be alone or gather as we wanted, some rode bikes, some swam in the nearby pool, and we often all ended up on the screened in porch after dinner and talked. We went to Lighthouse Bakery, the Sea Lab, rode the ferry, ate at restaurants, and read, read READ. Highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing vacation on Dauphin Island. This home was not only beautiful, clean and spacious it also had all the little extras available to make it a true home away from home. Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and pool and and the most amazing private beach. Our family of 11 agreed this was a wonderful vacation and hope to return to Dauphin Island and this beautiful home.

Our group appreciated the quiet neighborhood and beautiful setting. The house accommodated our large group. With three separate families the three floors made it easy to all be together or divide into groups.

Highly recommend Harmony house in dauphin island! Just minutes to the beach and community pool. Huge house with so many amenities and great indoor and outdoor space. Screened in porches on multiple levels! Great layout for 12 people to be together and also have some space when you need it. Desoto Landing community is also wonderful - private gated making the beach not crowded at all! Owner was extremely responsive - called us when the house was ready and we got in a couple of hours early! Would highly recommend this house!

Piece of Paradise
We loved our beach week at this beautiful home! It worked out perfectly for our family. Each floor had bedrooms so it was very relaxing and private. We were at the end of a cul-de-sac so it was quiet yet close enough to walk to the pool and beach. The homeowner provided everything from sand toys, chairs, and games to a full kitchen (pots, pans, utensils etc.). We would definitely stay here again!

Nice, family-oriented place to stay on the island
Everything you need for a week at the beach! The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet. Plenty to do around the house or on the island. Or perfect place just to relax.
Owner answered questions quickly and thoroughly. Great place to come back to each year!

Amazing home!
We had a wonderful vacation on Dauphin Island. It was peaceful and very laid back! The home was gorgeous and had EVERYTHING we could have possibly needed. Right down to the bikes, scooters, wagons, and sand toys for our children! The beach and pool were just a very short walk away and were beautiful! The beach is just amazing! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home! We had the best time!

We only got to stay 2 days, because of Hurricane Sally. Julie the owner was wonderful, her main concern was my family safety,. The property was exactly as advertised, the kitchen was well stocked. The 2nd snack kitchen was great for our hungry teen and preteens. The pool, beach and tennis court was a short walk . The bikes were a great hit with kids. Would definely rent this house again.

Perfect Pandemic Getaway
Location was ideal for our group of 10. Beach, pool, bikes, gated neighborhood allowed all ages to do things they enjoyed while feeling safe and socially distanced. Julie was great to work with! Would stay here again😊

Wonderful Week
We had the most wonderful time at Harmony and on Dauphin Island! We had a two year old and 11 month old as well as 8 adults and all loved the home. The home was full of toys, games and books that the whole family enjoyed. Kitchen had every appliance and utensil needed that made for easier meals and snacks! The second fridge was such a help as well! Julie was always prompt and attentive as we planned trip and stayed in her home! We highly recommend this home and Dauphin Island!

Dauphin Island VRBO Gem
This property was clean, spacious, and perfectly located with respect to town in a gated community. There was plenty of room for our family of 10 and our twin boys who are under two years old had a blast as well. The property is well stocked with bikes, kitchen utensils, bath towels, games, and even a Nintendo 64. It's a very short walk from the house to the pool, tennis court, and the beach. Leave the wagon, beach chairs, pool toys, and extra propane at all because this property has everything you need. Would love to stay here again with the same group we traveled with, everyone had a blast!

Perfect covid getaway
This was the perfect spot for a socially distanced week at the beach. The hone is very well maintained, attractive, and it has lots of perks (bicycles, tennis racquets first use at the nearby court, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc.). The bra h is a short walk (and wagons are provided for getting your gear to the beach). We didn’t use the pool, but the beach was not at all crowded. Julie was a very attentive Property owner. I have zero complaints. Excellent week!

Perfect beach getaway
This was a very last minute trip for our family after our original trip was cancelled, and it was the best last minute trip we've ever taken! This is a beautiful house on a quiet street only a two minute walk from the pool and beach. The house is stocked with everything you'd ever need (puzzles, toys, games, beach toys, bikes, bunk bed), making it easy for our family of five to enjoy our time. The screened-in porch is fantastic, kitchen is stocked with all the pots, pans, appliances, etc. that you'd need. The beach is a beautiful, private, white sand beach. Very quiet! We were lucky to enjoy all of this before the beach closures. I can't think of a better place to social distance than Dauphin Island!

Awesome Property
This property has everything you could possibly need in a beach house!!! We were a party of 8 with 6 kids ages 9-21 and this house had everything - bikes, beach chairs/toys, beach cart/wagons, coolers, umbrellas, gas grill. The private neighborhood and private beach (minute walk from the house) were quiet and secluded..Inside the house, the kitchen has every appliance, dish wear, pots, pans, etc imaginable and the 2 refrigerators were great for a big family. Towels, sheets, etc were clean and plentiful. The owner, Julie, responded to any questions or concerns within minutes and sometimes within seconds. I would highly recommend this house to anyone, especially if you have a larger group. Worth every penny.
4.9
Relaxing week!
House was large clean and lots of auxiliary items left to for visitors use. Bikes, wagons, beech chairs, beach toys and books. Large kitchen with all needed items to cook and entertain. 5 minute walk to beach and family really enjoyed the pool.

Quiet, relaxing beach vacation
The house was the perfect size for our two-family beach vacation. Plenty of room to sleep 10, large kitchen/eating area. If you're looking for a quieter beach vacation, this is the place to go. There aren't the large tourist crowds. Many mornings we had the private beach to ourselves even though we were there in late July/early August. Lack of large crowds also means not as many touristy things to do like shopping, fun parks, mini-golf, etc. The older kids really loved having a tennis court close by, everyone enjoyed the beach. The community pool is definitely on the smaller side, but the lack of crowds on the beach more than made up for it. We saw lots of marine life including dolphins, fish, a wide variety of birds (but not annoying), etc. Highly recommended if you want a quieter time at the beach, plenty of beach to just stroll along and search for shells.
