The house is absolutely perfect. The owner is very responsive. We has an issue with the oven and he had it fixed in two hours! Having the commercial ice maker is a great touch. We never had to buy ice for our coolers. The pool is great for evening swims or needing a break from the beach. We fished every night off the dock and it also has the best view for sunsets! Mosquitoes can be a little bad, so make sure you don't forget the repellent. We'll definitely be back!

Stayed here with my husband, teen daughter, adult daughter, son in law, 6 year old grandson and 3 fur babies. Great location for fishing or swimming in the bay, easy access to a quiet side road for dog walking and the gulf is just right across the road! Pool was clean, clear, private and warm!

Our group of 6 enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location between both the bay and gulf. Instructions for checkin and checkout were clear and easy to follow. Home is decorated beautifully and has a nice selection of seating both inside and out.

The new renovations and updates at Whale Tales are great! The property is very clean and family friendly. The outdoor shower was wonderful and the full size ice machine in the laundry room was a great surprise. We had a minor issue with the oven and the property owner was extremely responsive to get someone out to take a look and fix it. We would absolutely stay here again!

My family loved our stay. The house was beautiful and spacious for my husband and I and our teenagers! We loved having the dock access on the bay and same distance to walk across the street to the beach. My husband caught a stingray, we got crabs in the crab traps, and fish! Lots of wonderful memories, we will be back!

We had an amazing stay. The house is well appointed, but the view and the beach and pier are the star! Amazing sunsets and we had so much fun fishing. The island has a nice slow pace and we were able to really enjoy time with family. Highly recommended!

There are a few things that could be updated or fixed and the house could really use a deep clean but none of that took away from our overall enjoyment of the trip. It was a wonderful property, perfect for our kids and dogs, and we will definitely be back!

We chose this VRBO for its location, and that it had 4 BR/3BA for our family. It also has a dock (not all homes have this) that we could use, with a ladder to swim in the bay, well-lighted, and a small beach area for my 82 yr old mother to sit and enjoy as well. The porch furniture/grill has a lot of beach-weather wear and tear, but the owners have started replacing it a bit at a time (there were some brand new chairs on the outside porch to watch sunsets/bay/etc.) They also had a canoe that we were able to use on the bay, which was nice. This saved us from having to rent one. A few of the kids fished off of the dock, and there is access to water to rinse off/clean fish,etc. VERY nice plus is you like to fish! There is also a sink/cleaning area under the house (garage area) for fish-cleaning, as well as a shower. There is a well-stocked area of beach towels (towels that others have left) for you to use while there. We brought our own, but it was nice to have a few extra at our disposal. Overall, it was a nice rental, and our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We love Dauphin Island and will be back!

The property was well maintained and well represented on VRBO. Our family enjoyed having access to the beach, the sound and fishing on the dock. Great experience and we will rent again.

Needs to be posted that you need a 4WD vehicle to get up to the house. Sand was so high in the driveway that every vehicle got stuck and it looked as if others had used wood to try and get out from being stuck before us. The outdoor furniture was highly used and outdated.

This is a great vacation home. We enjoyed every minute in Dauphin Island. If you are going with your dog, stay on the bay side. We have stayed on both sides and our dog was able to swim and walk on this side more than the gulf side. Tropical Storm Fred went by us to the east while we were vacationing. The gulf side surf was wild and there were rip tides. We floated in the water and swam in calm waters.

The common area - living room, dining and kitchen - was huge. Each of our adult children had their own rooms except my daughter who stayed on the living area side of the upstairs master which is also huge. The jacuzzi bathtub upstairs is 2 people sized - it’s so big. The outdoor decking with the rocking chairs and the screen porched area are so nice. Having water spigots at 3 spots outside was great for feet and beach stuff rinsing. Love the dock and the sound side beach! It is private. I could have gone there everyday and never even went to the Gulf side. It’s wild that the house is dead center between the 2 so you have it all! We cooked 5 nights and found all we needed in the kitchen for that. The laundry being right off the kitchen is a great spot. The house is so soundproof. I don’t know if that’s due to hurricane codes or what, but you didn’t hear anything if the door was closed. We loved our stay in your home and Dauphin Island was wonderful. 1st time on the island and area. It was wonderful and I’d love to get back another year! Thanks!!

First time to Dauphin Island, we certainly weren’t disappointed. House and the property were amazing, having the dock was a definite bonus. We spent many hours fishing from the dock and the ocean side. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and had room to spare for our 7 travelers. The homeowners were extremely helpful and answered all our questions leading up to and during our stay. The island is very family friendly, which was perfect for what we were looking for. I would highly recommend calling ahead for dinning, some restaurants were very busy and do except reservations. We would definitely come back again.

This was great house. Very quiet on the sound side and just steps away from the open ocean. Services such as restaurants were a little light probably due to covid and the recent hurricanes. We had a great time and our pup enjoyed herself as well!

We really enjoyed our trip to the gulf coast. The property was PERFECT for what we needed! A very nice kitchen, wonderful whirlpool tub (upstairs master), lovely views from the entire home, great beach! Seriously, after 2020, this is exactly what my soul needed! We typically try to travel to new areas annually, but we will likely be back as this was just about perfect!

Six adults & 3 children (3 generations) for a week-long escape. Due to extreme cold, we lost power and water but the owner was responsive in getting a plumber out to fix a burst pipe. House was super comfortable and after we moved breakable things, extremely kid-friendly. The top bedroom has views of the ocean from both sides and was a nice escape from the kids downstairs. The house is pretty sound-proof and we couldn't hear folks in the kitchen, etc. The view from the kitchen/dining/living is spectacular even on cold rainy days.
