About this apartment rental
Summary:
Beautiful brand newly renovated condos at the base of the sand dunes. Enjoy your beautiful kitchen with front, rear and side decks, enjoy the covered porch with sand dunes behind. The best restaurant on the island Pirate's is right down the street and the closest public beach access is right behind Pirates. Very short drive to all of the beaches on the island. Come enjoy our beautiful home on Dauphin Island!
The Space:
This a downstairs unit in a 4 unit house. Units 101 and 102 are downstairs and units 201 and 202 are upstairs. Every unit has its own private balcony area. You can access the sand dunes and even take a walk down to the water and beach area but it’s a bit of a walk and not a “public” beach access with restrooms like they have at the public beach accesses.
Guest Access:
There are 4 charcoal grills on the property but please don’t use them underneath the deck. Just move the grill onto the grassy area in the back yard or on the concrete out front. We provide starter supplies to last you a day or so until you have a chance to get to the store.
Other Things to Note:
This is a downstairs unit in a house with 4 units. There are about 5 steps to climb, but we do have hand railings. Pets: no cats allowed! Two dogs max, 75lbs max, $75 fee per dog.
Interaction with Guests:
Please reach out to our team through the message thread and either Karin, Meg or Shane will get back to you! We can’t be responsible for lost items so please be careful to take everything with you when you check out!

Condo was very clean. Bed in Master was very comfortable. The shower was nice and warm with great water pressure. For the tv you can use YouTube - otherwise you will need to sign in to your hulu/netflix accounts.
Just a heads up - the bedrooms don't have any chest of drawers so bring extra hangers or expect to leave clothes in suitcase. Also bring your beach towels as the condo does not provide that.
Be aware that the island has biting flies - I had never heard of that before so bring some sort of bug spray with you because they really hurt. Also, we happened to be there during jellyfish season so bring white vinegar with you to the beach as well.
The seafood was great - everyone was super friendly on the island. The beaches are beautiful - just know that it is not clear water even though it's on the gulf - it is brown/brackish because of the fresh water mixing in with the gulf - if you want clear emerald water - drive to Pensacola which was 1 hr 45 minutes away.
Friendly people - delicious seafood - condo was centrally located. You will need to drive to the beach from the condo - not a big deal - took us 5 minutes. Also note that all the public beaches are $10 a day.

Really nice house and fairly well divided from the neighbors as far as condos go. It did have some miner things that wrong when it comes to appliances, but we were able to let the host know.

The condo was absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable, I believe I got the best sleep of my life here! The kids room was so cute and was spacious enough for my three kids and I loved being able to bring my dog with us. He also seemed to enjoy it as we walked him up on the sand dunes behind the house. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. At one point during our stay, all 4 units were full and I still felt like we had a lot of privacy. I liked the laundry room being outside away from everything since we often brought sand back with us from the beach so we were able to keep it contained outside. We spent a lot of time exploring the sand dunes behind the condo, the public beach is super close too! I also liked being so close to Pirates Bar & Grill. We are already planning on returning! We loved this condo. I could leave a 5 star review for the island as well! This was the best vacation!

Our family of 3 enjoyed our stay here. We were visiting our friends who have a beach house on the Island so we only slept here and then left after breakfast each day. The coffee maker worked great. It’s a quiet neighborhood. The bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything about this rental is 5 star. Booking was quick and easy. We arrived earlier than expected and I contacted the booking manager who quickly responded letting us know we could check in early.
The location of the rental is in a family friendly and safe! The unit is EXTREMELY clean. Your own back porch is a huge plus. Washers/Dryers located outside to keep the sand out!
The kids LOVED the immediate access to the amazing and beautiful sand dunes located directly behind the home.
THE BEST PART OF OUR STAY WAS HOW COMFORTABLE THE BED AND PILLOWS ARE. I’m currently 7 months pregnant and get no sleep, but I slept better than I have in years in the bed provided.
0 complaints from our family and without a doubt, 5 stars!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. Exactly as described in the listing. Very clean. Easy to check in and out. The unit is right down the road from Pirates (which is fantastic) and close to public beaches. We especially loved walking up the sand dune behind the property to take in the view - so pretty!

The property was perfect. Comfortable, well equipped kitchen including a blender :). It was nice having beach towels, chairs and a grill for our use if we wanted to use them. Easy walk to the beach and short drive to sites on east side of the island.

The condo was easy to find. There are no views but it’s location makes it easy to navigate the island. Check In was easy. The kitchen was well appointed. Fast response from owner/manager.

This property was perfect to chase away the winter blues. Walking distance to the beach. Just up the path behind the property for beautiful views and sunsets.
Can't wait to come back!

It was basically ok, but needs a ceiling fan or a tower rotating fan in the living area. It needs more than 1 tablespoon, lol, but good enough on dishes and utensils. Both bedrooms, we only used 1, had no dressers, chests or shelves (except 1 closet shelf) for unpacked clothes.. A recliner would have been nice. The wifi seems really slow a lot of the time. But there were provided garbage bags, laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent. Overall, it was ok.

Was a spotless and friendly place. There were four adults, 2 dogs,1 kid, and a baby and we had plenty of room

The area was quiet. The downside was being in the off season the already lack of places to eat and shopping were even more scarce. The lighthouse bakery was amazing.

Condo needs cleaning
Bedding and kitchen utensils had not been washed prior to arrival. Found trash on floor, under beds. Excessive noise from the floor above.

Off the beaten path
We really enjoyed this property! It was off the busy road and although there wasn’t a beachfront view out our windows, a short walk up the sand dunes right behind the property allowed for a beautiful view. We enjoyed the water spicket outside to wash feet off before entering the home and reading about previous people and families in the notebook left at the property. We look forward to our next trip to Dauphin Island!

Great location
We biked everywhere. The back porch was better than the bird sanctuary. The dune was a beautiful place for happy hour. Note: there are no dressers or hangers.
