Perfect time to celebrate a high school graduation before starting college. Very relaxing and enough space for our 10! Walked to beach when we wanted more than the bayside. Wonderful weather!

We had the most relaxing few days at Hip Nautic! The beach house was spotless and had everything you need, a fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds and the views were amazing.
We also loved Dauphin Island as it has a quaint, laid back atmosphere. The people were friendly and welcoming.
We will return!

This is our favorite house on Dauphin Island. There is plenty of room for everyone, and the location is fantastic. We love watching all the wildlife visiting the lagoon.
5.0
The house had everything we needed for our stay. We prepared a couple of quick meals and found the kitchen well supplied. The beds were comfortable, there was adequate seating and plenty of room to separate if outside weather was good. It was our first visit to Dauphin Island and we all left talking about the locale and how we would recommend it to friends.

If you are seeking distance from the hustle of town and want great beach access, this is the spot! Great views from all directions! Accommodations for a large group or just for a few traveling with their dogs. The gates on the decks allowed the pets time in the sun too! Will definitely keep this bookmarked for future visits!

Light over the cook stove was dirty, vent hood was dirty. No extra toilet paper or trash bags. Had to make extra trip to store for supplies. Other than that was great

The house was big enough to suit or needs. The water and beach in the backyard was a real plus along with the outside shower to help with not getting sand all in the house.

We've stayed at many beach rentals and this has been my favorite! Prefect location with an amazing view of the water from either the front or back porch! Very clean and smelled fantastic with plenty of kitchen items. This one will not disappoint!

I almost didn’t rent this home because there were no reviews on VRBO, but I’m glad I did. The house ended up being perfect for our group of 9. It has a great location, was clean and the backyard on the bay was great on days that the Gulf side was in red flags. The bay side was calm and quiet and to be able to walk down just a bit and play in the water was so much better than going to a public beach. In the evenings walking along the bay and looking at crabs was so fun. We rented jet skis and were able to use those in the bay close to the house so we could watch everyone. I would definitely rent this home again and would recommend it for a group around our size. This was our first trip to Dauphin Island and it was great!
