The layout of this property was really great for our family needs. The great room (kitchen, dining and large living room) is open and spacious and allowed for us to be together. The deck is marvelous and the beach space is a staircase away off the deck. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom attached. The kitchen was fun to work in and plenty big enough for several people to move about. LOTS of pans but many are long past usable. We chose what we were going to use at the beginning, cleaned them up and stuck with those. (Renters are required to clean then stow the items they used at the end of their time. I was amazed at what passes as clean). This house is in need of some attention at this 'end of season' time. The main sliding door was very difficult to close and 2/3 of them did not lock. There were some broken tiles on the floor that were a risk for the feet. I reviewed all the items with DIRE. We ended up evacuating on day 3 due to Hurricane Zeta. There was some confusion around what was recommended, and I didn't have the level of communication w/DIRE I expected around that type of incident but a local resident gave us a heads-up and I pursued the management company to finally get some info. Talked to one of the real estate agents (did not get her name) who had great information to help us make a decision. We watched the weather channel, found a new place to land, then packed up and left that day. We plan to return to Dauphin Island again....when it''s NOT 2020 nor hurricane season!

We stayed in the house for a week and loved the place very much: fantastic location, wide life, ocean within literally five steps. The layout was perfect: everyone had his own bedroom and bath. The only negative point - there were too many roaches in the house; hopefully, the property manager will take care of this issue. Other than that it was perfect!

The number of roaches we killed this week was unbelievable! The unit was poorly cleaned when we arrived. An exterminator came and sprayed while we were there. A cleaning lady also came, but only cleaned some areas. We additionally sprayed for roaches daily, which is not how we wanted to spend our vacation! It’s a shame such a perfect property is not being properly cared for.

Lovely home and deck. Wonderful beach and met all of our needs. However, based on our past years at other properties, the cleanliness of the house was poor in comparison. Items under beds proof not touched. Lights in bathroom burned out. Roaches at night which probably is difficult to control. A walkthrough of this lovely home is needed to repair and replace. Thanks for asking for our review.

I’ll start with the positives...The home accommodated all of our needs and listing was accurate. The common areas and King bedrooms were spacious. We loved sitting on the covered deck. The deck furniture was very comfortable. We spent hours outside on the deck. We had major issues with mosquitos outside under the house. It was not possible to get into/out of a car or grill without getting eaten alive any time of day. If there is something under the house causing the swarms, it needs to be addressed. The cleaning process of the house, especially during Covid, needs to be re-evaluated immediately. The floors were sandy when we arrived. Some sheets were rewarded to be sure they were clean. There was trash left under furniture and near trash cans from the prior tenants. The property management needs to address the cockroaches! We traveled with an infant and this was very upsetting. There were cockroaches living around the molding in the ceiling of the great room. We killed cockroaches all week on the floors, walls and shower. All in all, the trip was good. Dauphin Island is a great place to stay with family. We were pleasantly surprised by how close the house sat to the water. It was very convenient to access the beach. If the issues listed above are addressed, this could be a great rental. Unfortunately, we won’t be back.

Our family spent a week at Jade Stone in Mach and loved every minute of it. The house is beautiful and the private beach area was stunning! The porch provides the most perfect place for watching the kids swim at the beach. We will book this house again.

Our family had a great time staying at Jade Stone. The house was beautifully decorated, spacious and well laid out. The deck area had plenty of seating to enjoy the view of the water, which was amazing. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels. Our family would definitely return.

Great house right on the beach! Had everything we needed and more!

The island is awesome and the house location is a perfect beach property! I don’t know why you would ever use a different rental company to book through! Thanks for the wonderful trip.

Jadestone was a home away from home. It is located on the west end, gulf side and just a few feet from the beach. The view is spectacular. Shrimp boats pass by daily. Families are enjoying themselves. Kitchen components are satisfactory. There are ample places to have dinner. Two tables to seat 10 people and/or seating for four at the eating bar. Living room furniture is comfortable. The floor plan is fully functional with no wasted space. Each bedroom features a private bath.

Loved every minute!

Awesome girls trip, amazing home, splendid views. Housekeeping needs to mop but otherwise no complaints.

Best vacation ever! We loved having our own stretch of beach. The kids always had plenty to do; baseball, kiting, crab hunting, riding the surf, feeding the sea gulls and playing in the sand. The deck on the ocean front was the meeting place, watching the waves, dolphins, and loved getting up and having coffee and breakfast. We cooked a very nice meal almost every night. We played cards at night. Very relaxing! We may have to do this again next summer :)

We vacationed at Jadestone August 2nd-9th, 2014. Jadestone is an amazing beach rental on the gulf! Everything was perfect, clean, fresh, and nice linens provided. This trip was our second to the island and we loved every minute of it! There is not one negative comment to make about this house. We had 10 people in our group ranging from ages 7-70 and there was plenty of space. The home is well appointed with a great open flow. We are planning our 2016 trip and Jadestone is already rented, but would have stayed a second time in a wink. We did luck out and reserve the house next door, Crimson Tide, which was being built when we were there in 2014. Rent this house and you will have a spectacular gulf vacation!
