Comfortable 2nd floor accommodations among the pines and residential neighborhood, full kitchen, strong shower, working washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, large shaded covered deck amenable to bird watching and listening, relaxing, and outdoor meals. Note; the stair steps are of maximum height and plentiful.
The spacious public beach is easily accessible by foot and becomes wilder walking eastward. Pirate's Cove Bar & Grill is less than a mile down the road and Skinner's Seafood, 2 bird sanctuaries, and gift shops are close by.
Cooking supplies may not fit everyone's needs and I was glad to bring my own. Internet access works well, the TV streaming options are limited, and the DVD player works fine.
I contacted Joy once and she graciously responded within an hour. We would happily rent this place again.
4.7
The place is a little dated. Everything was well maintained and clean. The location is secluded and quiet. A little walk or drive to the public beach access. Overall, the rental surpassed my expectation.
4.7
The house is centrally located and secluded. Minimal traffic and very little noise (except some construction work on nearby houses during the week). The house is perfect for 2 people and is pet friendly. The yard has a fence but it is falling down in some places. Unless you have an off-leash trained dog, I would recommend keeping them on a long line to go potty. My husband enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the chair. Stairs are a little hard if you have mobility issues, but they are manageable. If you're just looking for a place to stay and don't care about the fancy frilly stuff, this place is ideal. We didn't need to pay extra for fancy stuff like at other places. The house fit our needs well and I would recommend staying there again.
4.7
The house is nice, and cozy. However to our surprise there was people going under the house. The cottage was booked most of our w week stay. Im sorry but that was invasive and no getting around it! The stairs go up to the back of the house! We never dreamed that people would be there and theres no privacy at all! We did our best to not make them feel awkwardly. The house itself was fine. A hottub would be nice! The silverware and kitchen utensils are cheap and very hard to cook with! I would say new pots and pans and nice silverware. The owner was nice enough, i would book again if suggestions were addressed.

A little disappointed in the condition of the fence as we had small dogs with us

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. It's an older home nestled among tall trees, and close enough to the public beach for very easy access. The home is well-supplied and the beds are very comfortable. It's dog-friendly. And the owner is always very kind and responsive. Although the house appeared to be clean there was a musty smell, especially in the bathroom. Perhaps a deep clean is in order?

My husband and I have been staying in this little home for decades on our visits. Its perfectly located right in the middle of the island a short walk to the public beach. The location is soo quiet and peaceful. The home is stocked well and very clean. The host is precious... we feel its our home away from home each fall.. Our dogs made their 3rd trip to this house with us.. and they are home away from home too.. Excited to return next fall.

We always enjoy our stay at this property

We enjoyed our stay in the house. It is an older home, but everything I used worked fine. It just needs cosmetic and furniture updates. The backyard was nice to use for our dog especially since the other house was vacant for our week. The fence is down in a few spots though. It is a short walk to the public beach (3/4 mile to water) and a block from the bike path. Overall the house was quiet and comfortable for my son, dog and I.

The property was described.
Beautiful house. Just right for the two of us and our small dog. Everything needed was available in house. Very comfortable.
If any future visits we know to bring groceries with us as very expensive in the local shops.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
4.7
We loved everything about our trip! The home was wonderful, perfect location, the island is beautiful and peaceful, plenty of things to do for my whole family, my two dogs had a great time playing with us on the beach! Joy is a wonderful host!

This sweet little house is so home like, very well stocked with anything you might need and have forgotten to bring. Quite, nested in a beautiful lush green blanket of trees and plants, there is no end to the charm. Our time here was well spent. A short drive to anyting you would wish, or a brisk walk to the beach. I hightly recomend this location for anyone wanting a quite get away, or anyone with chidren. Cute twin bedroom set up was perfect set up for my son. Thank you so much, we are already taking about a return trip next year.

This is my second year at this property and we stayed in the cottage the year before that - so i have been extremely pleased 3 years in a row with both properties. I love that it is quiet and feels secluded. It is in the middle of the island so it's quick to get everywhere. The new grill was wonderful to use. We found everything we needed and everything was clean for us to use. Thanks, Joy!!! We'll be back next September!!

Love the feel of Dauphin Island, and this house gave us our own place to relax and enjoy it. Easy access to the beaches and a great quiet neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Very chill week. House was great. Loved that it was in the center of everything on the island. Owners were very sweet and responsive.
4.7
Great
4.7
The property was perfect, had everything we needed and then some. We just were not aware/prepared that there was not really a grocery store there on the island. What they had was super pricey and not a lot of option. Overall would stay there again, just be a bit more prepared.
4.7
We enjoyed to quiet beauty in the pines, yet just minutes from the beach!
4.7

Like always great stay.i let your daughter know about bulbs in bathroom to high wattage causing a flikr and noise.
4.7
This is a great property for two couples, kitchen had everything and even a dining table on the deck. Seafood market, grocery store, and beach a short walk. Joy was easy to deal with when we had questions.
4.7
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. Our only criticism is that we didn't know that a second house on the property was also being rented by another party.
4.7
The house is in a great location. Close to 2 restaurants & beaches. The house was very accommodating. The bed slept wonderful, and the porch swing was great place to relax. I would definitely stay there again.
4.7
A great place to relax on vacation.

Convenient location on the island .Large fenced in yard but there is another house in the fenced in area and they had dogs also. We spent a lot of time on the large covered porch .The house was spacious. They kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. We contacted our host about the wifi password and she replied back quickly.
4.7
The location was very nice for sitting on the deck and watching a variety of birds.
4.7
The property was as pictured as online,We stayed there four nights the twin beds in the second room could use their mattress replaced.The place could use a few updates but other than that it was ok for our stay.
4.7
Clean and comfortable property. Great patio for bird watching and lounging. Be aware that there is a separate rental property in the backyard. We were planning to let our small dog use the fenced in yard, but the other people staying there had a large dog, so we were unable to do so.
4.7
Lovely older property surrounded by trees and within walking distance of a large (and not very populated) public beach. Everything we needed was provided (but bring your own cooking oil if you plan to use the kitchen). Comfortable and dog friendly!
4.7
Located conveniently to beach and dining. Joy is a very accomodating host.

Well kept, clean, great bang for the buck, excellent location close to the beach. Could use an update.

This is our second visit to this property, we love the location so near the public beach and central to everything on the island. Comfortable and affordable, we'll be back!
4.7
The property and price point were perfect. Central location, short walk to the beach and it is pet friendly. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and walked on the beach. I would recommend this property for families looking for clean, simple, and cozy. This was perfect for our adventure.

I really liked the property. Close to the beaches and close to good fishing spots!
