The place was clean and cozy. We were comfortable staying inside on the rainy days of our visit. All of the amenities were great…grill, wifi, washer/dryer, and being able to have our dogs. The only downfall is that it’s not beach front and you cannot walk to the beach comfortably. The 1 minute walk to the beach is across the dunes, and I do not recommend it.However, the location Is great on the island, and we had no problem driving to the beach for the day.

There was no beach access near by as advertised but other than that our stay was great! Very clean!

Overall, great! A little older yet well maintained. Comfy beds. Kids LOVED the bunk beds. Close to beaches. Overall, very good place to stay!

Photos and description accurately portray this pleasant condo. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything needed. The king mattress is very firm and supportive. We enjoyed the nice patio seating area although the mosquitoes are large and vicious, bring spray. Overall very pleased and would stay again.

The property was in a great location, close to everything. The unit was spacious and clean. The back balcony looked out over a sand dune - great place to drink coffee and watch the sun rise! The yard was well-kept and perfect for taking our dogs out. Everyone loved it!

We so enjoyed our stay! The unit had all that we needed and was close to anything we wanted to do on the island. Thank you for having us!

What you see is what you get. Half mile walk to public beach access and restaurants. Apartment is clean and simple. Exactly what you need for a beach trip. We would absolutely stay again. Walls/floor seemed abnormally thin as we could easily hear/feel the children in the apartment below. Not a detriment to our stay but absolutely a noticeable factor that we read about in other reviews and found during our own stay.

There were a lot of issues with this property and the host didn’t seem too concerned about fixing them. Also, this property does not have beach access. It doesn’t say it does - but I think many people will assume the dune behind the house leads to a beach. It leads to a large nature preserve with no beach access on the other end. You will need to drive to get to a beach.
This property allows pets. All the bedding was covered with massive amounts of white dog hair. I reported it to the owner. No resolution other than a thanks for letting us know. We found one clean pillowcase in the closet and covered the rest of the pillows with our t-shirts. Get there early so you can wash all the sheets before you go to bed. Sadly we got in too late for that.
This property had a TV but no remote. I reported it to the owner, and they responded “oh yes it just keeps walking away!” The right response would be to bring a new remote (the next day would have been fine). Nothing stays open after 8 on the island and without a remote you can’t even cast your phone to the TV in the living area.
In the bathroom, there was one stick-on hook for your towel in front of the spot where clearly a towel rack had been ripped out of the wall. We let the host know. There is also no toilet paper holder. The roll sits wherever on the very limited counter space.
The toaster was broken. We let the host know on our way out of town a day early because it was not worth staying any longer.

If you are looking for a slower pace and don’t mind bringing your own food for meals, this location would be suitable. In the evenings, we were hoping to enjoy some television viewing in the LR, but the remote could not be located and there were no power controls on the set. Management team was not helpful and actually rather condescending with our contact.

Very relaxing , very cute , everything you need for an enjoyable and memorable time with family. Would rent it again.

The condo was super clean and everything needed was provided. It is within long walking distance of a good restaurant and bar. The beds were comfortable. Just what we were looking for.

Nice place. Location is really nice. Easy access to two public beaches from the property, and right down the road from Pirates grill.

Great vacation rental
Great condo, very clean and modern. Kitchen had plenty of cookware to prepare meals, including a large pot and crock pot. Furniture was tasteful and comfortable. My daughter especially loved the bunk beds. The island is small and most restaurants close early or run out of menu items so highly recommend bringing some groceries and plan to make a meal or two during your stay. We had dogs, which we took to the public beach and they had fun. We also hung out at the little beach at Pelican cove, next to the Pirate Grill restaurant, which was great for kids and our dogs since the water here is very calm (dogs aren’t allowed at the restaurant, just the beach portion). If we visits this area again, would definitely rent again! Thank you!

Amazing!
Dauphin Island is beautiful with something new to see every day. The house was perfect. Very clean and well kept. Perfectly located between all three beaches. We will definitely be returning.

We had so much fun I have kids of all ages and they enjoyed laying out and playing on the dunes. We went fishing in the bay and walked all the way to pelican island 2.5 miles each way but worth it!!! The only thing I would change was the bathtub water doesn’t get very warm. I like hot baths and I suffered through Warm baths all week. Other than that it is amazing and worth the money. We will be visiting again in the future!

Our 25th anniversary trip was cancelled due to Covid. For our 27th, it was a surprise to find a rental with such a great location and pet friendly too.! Our two dogs enjoyed the beaches as much as we did. Being able to have them with us made this vacation possible. Pirates restaurant just down the street was an added bonus. The sunsets and food were both incredible. One negative were the electrical outlets that did not work, requiring us to move the coffee maker to another counter. Really this was no big deal and we told the property manager we didn’t need them fixed before we checked out. Despite our conversations with the property manager, for some reason maintenance showed up unannounced to change lightbulbs we hadn’t even noticed. They were unaware of the electrical outlets (FYI neither the GFI’s or breakers were tripped.) Again, this wouldn’t have been an issue if we hadn’t been walking out the door to enjoy the island. Another negative was the heavy traffic on the residential road. Despite the negatives, we look forward to returning next winter for another Quiet Get-AWay.

The condo was new, clean, and close to the beach. Right behind the property are sand dunes where you can watch the beautiful sunset over the ocean. About a 15 min walk or 3 min drive to the main public beach access. Great place to bring our dog, since dauphin island beaches are fully dog friendly.
