We wish we had found this home for previous vacations. We will definitely return for our annual family summer gathering place. The quiet, absence of busy traffic, the closeness of outlets for meals on site, take out or obtain to prepare ourselves without having to fight a crowd or wait extended periods of time was most appreciated. This allowed us more time to spend together, enjoying the beach and other accommodations for fun. We especially enjoyed the serenity of all day and night serenity the house and property afforded. Thank you for a wonderful time.

We don’t want to tell anyone how wonderful this place is…but that would be selfish of us! Huge well decorated great room with a big comfy couch to host our big family. We prefer to eat in with so many kids, and there was almost everything you could imagine needing in the kitchen cabinets…crock pots, air fryer, waffle maker, griddle, loads of utensils. Love how each bedroom has its own bathroom with plenty of towels. Fabulous porch with the perfect tall Adirondack chairs for watching the dolphins with your coffee and quiet time. The high ceiling let you see as much sky as possible. We loved the partly un-shaded deck, as well. The through street lot with a wide open beach just for you is the best part. We can’t wait to come back

The home, location, and island exceeded expectations. Locals were friendly and helpful. It was a cooler week, but we were still able to enjoy the water and beaches. We would absolutely stay here again.

This house is perfect for an escape with kids. The option to sit on the deck and watch them run and play during the day and catch crabs at night is great!! Here’s a dad tip give your kids glow stick necklaces and you can see them as they roam looking to crabs.

We loved that it was right on the beach. The crashing waves were so relaxing. We saw dolphins swimming while we sat on the deck. My family loved to feed the birds. The house was certainly designed with family in mind. The great room was wonderful! The kitchen was equipped with everything you needed, even a griddle to make pancakes. This was a first trip to the beach for my husband, daughters, and grandson. We are already planning a return trip.

This is our second time at this home. Comfortable, clean and close to the water! The WiFi was a little spotty but that actually helped keep out teens engaged.

From the pictures, it looked like a great clean place to stay. When we showed up we were not disappointed. Would recommend 10/10 Great views, clean, like a second home. Even better than the pictures.

Can’t say enough good things about Waves of Grace! This place is absolutely beautiful and just as pictured in their listing! You are literally steps from dipping your toes in the the Gulf of Mexico! The kitchen is fully furnished. We stayed 6 nights and had all our meals there but two- with gas grill ready to fire up. The view is AmAzing! And their swing is perfect for kids & adults to enjoy! Our family had the best time- we are already planning another trip in a couple years and we will definitely return to this home-away-from-home!!

The home was very clean & provided plenty of bath towels & a start up of paper goods. A short walk down the stairs off the spacious deck led you directly to the beach & ocean.

Fantastic house right on the beach. All the comforts of home and the 3 king bedroom suites were perfect for our our 3 retired couples. In our 30 plus years of vacationing on Dauphin Island this house was the best rental property we have encountered!

We enjoyed our stay and only wish we could of stayed longer. Our framily of 9 would love to come back. Playing in the ocean, that was right in our backyard was so much fun!
5.0
Our week there was amazing! Beautiful view and amazing house. You cant beat having the ocean at your back door. Especially with 7 kids! Well worth the extra money than staying in the middle and having to pack stuff back and forth to the beach. Our only complaint, and its very minor, was you need bring your own toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels. There were no paper towels and maybe 2 bags, and the tp is the commercial stuff you can use to take notes on! We will be back for sure!

This home was everything and more! First off, it was spotless! This home provided everything you need. From dishwasher pods to laundry detergent. Kitchen was fully stocked. The whole process was so easy from start to finish. This house had the best views on the island. We will be renting this home in the future!

The house was perfect for our group. We had an issue with the ice maker in the refrigerator and Vacasa was there to take care of it right away! They even brought us a big bag of ice!
5.0
House was way roomier than we expected - we had 3 families (with 6 kids) and there was plenty of room! Back porch was huge and so nice to sit and eat on! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat - literally steps from the ocean which is SO nice with lots of kid gear and little ones who need to use the bathroom often. Dauphin island isn’t super convenient for groceries and restaurants, but we did a pickup order in Mobile on our way down and just grabbed shrimp one night from a local steamer instead of eating out. It was a great trip!!

GREAT views & sounds
This open floor plan with its spacious area is perfect for 8 people or 2 (plus children). It is beautifully decorated and supplies the GREAT views and sounds of the Gulf Coast. This was our second time to rent the same place!!!

Great place
The house was amazing. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking the a/c was amazing. The view to the ocean was awesome. The hoses at the bottom of steps were great for hosing off after a day on the beach. The Vacasa staff was excellent with any needs we had. Tvs in every room with Roku we’re great I would definitely book this home again. Also all the beds were very comfortable. I think that is a big plus to have nice mattresses and pillows.

Beautiful home
Beautiful home quiet area with a practically private beach. Super comfortable bed . Lots of tiny harmless crabs on the beach. House had everything we could need. The kids had an amazing time. The oil rigs off show were a disappointed we weren't prepared for but that can't be held against the house itself.

This is the place to book in DI.
This was our second year in a row to stay at Waves or Grace! Well equipped kitchen, nice spacious floor plan, and tastefully decorated. The location on the island is perfect! We absolutely love this Beach House & plan to stay here again!

Beautiful Beach Getaway
Waves of Grace exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect and the house was beautiful. In the morning we would drink coffee on the deck and watch for dolphins. The house was right on the beach making it perfect to swim or just stick your toes in the water whenever you wanted. The attention to details did not go unnoticed. From the well stocked kitchen to the beach toys outside and garden hose to wash off sand, everything needed for a relaxing vacation was thought of. I would highly recommend this place for your next vacation destination.

The best time!
We came for one last hurrah with our kids before school started and had the best time! The home was beautiful and the layout was perfect! The patio gives the perfect front row seat to morning dolphins over coffee! The beach was quiet and peaceful and it was exactly what we needed. I really appreciated them having a highchair and pack n play available too! We are already planning to return next year!

Perfect Beach House Experience
From the first moment that we walked into Waves of Grace, we knew that our highly anticipated vacation was going to be a positive experience. The beautifully decorated beach house looked just like the online pictures, even better! This home met all of our family needs and being right on the beach was such a plus. Our communication with Vrbo/VACASA was flawless and we would highly recommend them.

Perfect Vacation
Dauphin island is our favorite beach getaway! This house was absolutely perfect for our growing family!! We will definitely stay here again!

The house is great and offered everything listed. It was very spacious and offered plenty of room for the 7 of us and a 1 year old. The island roads were flooded when we got there due to rain. We thought it would clear up since there was no rain in the forecast. The wind was 20 to 30 miles an hour all week. It rained another .25 inch on Tuesday. The water on the roads got higher and higher all week even without substantial rain. The end of the island was closed. You would not be able to get to this house with a car. You need to be in a SUV. We rented bikes, but could not use due to the roads. Hopefully better weather next time, but I am not sure the reason for standing water. The house is beautiful and will be a relaxing stay if weather and drainage cooperates.
