Loved everything about the house. House was set up perfectly, plenty of towels, extra blankets, small beach chairs for the beach, deck furniture was great (plenty of seating to enjoy the sun), grill, swing, plenty of seating in the living room, and well stocked!! House was very clean and totally recommend!! Only worry was internet was very weak difficult to stream Netflix, etc. however covered by Dish Network for tv time.

Beautiful place, newly updated with nice furniture and two seating arrangements in the great room, plus a well stocked kitchen! Love the wrap around deck - it's huge in the back with lots of comfortable chairs. Vacasa contacts were very responsive to answer questions. Have been going to Dauphin Island since 2015 and stayed in several places - this is my favorite house by far, and I've already booked it for 2024.

This is our first time staying on Dauphin Island. We will definitely be back to stay at this house. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were super comfortable. The view from the back deck was breathtaking. We watched the sunrise every morning and sun set every afternoon. We loved that we could walk down the stairs and be a couple of steps from the ocean. This house is by far the best place we have ever stayed at.

10.0 / 10.0
Great views, sooo close to the ocean, and awesome lounge area on the back porch. We also made good use underneath the house for beach chairs, tents, toys, etc if a storm was rolling in. Living room was very spacious and extra large TV for nighttime movies. Kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, and dishes for cooking, plus the gas pit on the back porch is excellent quality. We had fun watching dolphins off the coast on several occasions. Beds were very comfortable and had quality mattresses. Double AC units helped keep the house cool at all times.
Our group included 3 toddlers and 5 adults, and it was the perfect size for our group.
Can't wait to go back!

First, so disappointed in Vacasa. I downloaded the ap, emailed them 3x regarding - does the house have a pack n play, beach chairs, kids sand toys and EZ Up. I received no response, so I called. The representative read the online amenities (I already did that, alot of times the houses have these things but are not listed) So I was told they did not have these items. They did not have a Pack n Play, but did have EZ up (6 of them), pleanty of sand toys and amazing beach chairs. This would have saved a lot of space when packing.
Second, we arrived and found 2 beach towels only for 9 people. The online amenities stated they provided beach towels. I called Vacasa and they said they do not provide towels for the beach. I asked them to look on the site. The rep said she would call the local manager and see what could be done. A lady brought beach towels and stated that she was not housekeeping and should not have to be delivering these, and they do NOT provide beach towels. She stated she was a manager and this was not her job. Kind of a rough start. Vacasa you can do better.
Now the Good Stuff!!
This house is amazing. Our favorite place was the deck on the back. It is half covered so provided shelter from the sun and there was always a breeze and beautiful sunsets. We ate every meal on the deck. It is also a great place to watch kids play in the sand, read a book in the shade or sit in one of 6 lounge chairs in the sun.
The location on the beach of this house is sooo convenient. You are literally on the water. No hauling beach toys and chairs. You are right there. You can get a break under an EZ Up or just sit under the house and enjoy the breeze. The outdoor shower was so convenient.
The layout is perfect for a large group. There are 2 sitting areas for people to spread out and read or nap while others watch TV. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of pots and pans to cook for a large group. All appliances worked great. As others have stated, do your grocery shopping before you arrive (the store on the island has limited items) We cooked all but 1 meal due to having small kids. The washer and dryer were so helpful in keeping towels clean and dry.
I would highly recommend this house and would love to return. Dauphin Island is a great family vacation spot with white sand and clean water. I recommend the visiting the aquarium.

Loved everything about this property! Great layout for families and right on the beach—doesn’t get better than that. Watched marine life from the amazing deck. Get instructions for how to access the TV (our only issue) and you will love every moment at this property!

House was great
We always run the vacuum before we leave but neither vac in the closet seem to work very well, we have always done this over the years at the beach homes we stayed at. Other than that everything was great!

Perfect for family
The house fits the description perfectly. Our family - with 3 small children, 2 adults, and the grandparents- thought the house was perfect. We prefer to cook and eat at the house primarily. The kitchen had everything that we needed. All the appliances worked great. This was our first time to Dauphin Island and we loved how friendly everyone was. We didn’t have to contact the property manager for any reason.
The only concern would be if you were handicapped or can’t handle a lot of steps- though all houses in this location have steps up to the house.
We went first of April… not super warm but still very enjoyable!

Cattleman’s convention in mobile
We absolutely loved our stay at 5’O clock somewhere, it was perfect the island, the privacy, the food, etc. we stayed here while in town for a convention in mobile and it was perfect for us, the drive to & from was 45 minutes but was an easy ride that seemed more like 30. We will definitely be staying here again when we aren’t in town for anything and can spend our whole trip there at the house & on the island.

Everything we need
The house was perfect and the view was beautiful. This house was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. It has the perfect porch for sitting and listening to the waves. We even saw a few dolphin. The beds had nice, comfortable mattresses. The tv in the living room is huge. This made movie nights fun for everyone. It was a wonderful, relaxing week. This house had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again.

Stay on the Beach at House
The house was somewhere we would like to stay again. The outside needs a little paint job, but the inside was great!! There were a few bugs found inside the house, but that is probably pretty normal for the season. We did have dryer issues, but when I called the order in, it was taken care of before 12:00 p.m. We did enjoy our stay and looking forward to another stay soon!

Wonderful!
What a great house for our family get together! We loved the open floorpan from the kitchen (which was fully stocked with pots and pans) to the living area. It is true that the pictures don't do this house justice. Even though we had a few days of overcast and rainy conditions, we enjoyed the up-close view of the Gulf as we put puzzles together, read, or watched movies. Would definitely recommend this house.

Pictures dont do it justice
This was our second trip to DL and this home was perfect! The pictures dont do it justice of how big this house is. You are directly at the ocean and we collected the best shells we've ever seen. Will definitely be back to this exact house in the future.

Vacasa is the best
We love the home, it was beautifully furnished in every room and such nice features. Vacasa is always focused on taking care of us on this trip which the island was recovering from hurricane Ida and on our previous trip where we were successfully evacuated by Vacasa before hurricane Sally came in. If it were not for them we would’ve been stuck on the island for the entire time. They went above and beyond educating us and getting us out of there safely to our cars!! We appreciate the Vacasa Dauphin Island them

Great Location
We enjoyed our stay at Its 5 o’clock Somewhere!! There was plenty of room for all of us. The layout of the house was perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins. The beach is right down the stairs. It’s like having your own personal beach. If your looking for a relaxing beach vacation then Dauphin Island and It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere will not disappoint.
