We loved the home and enjoyed the dunes in the backyard. Great location with a short walk to a beautiful beach. We'll definitely stay at this house again in the future. It's nicely decorated and well equipped. Pat was wonderful to work with and responded quickly to questions.

There is a screened in deck on the back and a deck/porch next to the front entrance. That meant we found a spot in the sun at most times. Behind the back deck is a dune which provides some privacy when sitting there. The inside is spacious and there are plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. We were 6 adults and didn't feel cramped and ate all our meals there. This is our second time renting this house and we'd do it again if the opportunity arises to stay on Dauphin Island.

This was our second stay at this property and we would absolutely return for a third round. The house is perfect for our group of five-it is super clean and well stocked. The owner communicates regularly and is very accommodating. We love everything about it!

There’s too much to say about how awesome this house is. It provided plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and a baby to spread out and not feel on top of each other. The bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was large and had everything you could need to prepare food and drinks. The living room area and couches were very comfortable. We were very impressed with bonus areas like the laundry room, the front and back porches, and the sitting area under the house. The storage room under the house is well stocked with everything your family could need for the beach and pool. It was a very short walk to the beach and pool, the beach was hardly crowded the week we were there. Communication with the owners was great, Pat even provided updates for us when we lost power for a short time one morning. This house checks all the boxes you could want for a beach vacation rental, my family agrees it was the best we have all stayed in. I would highly recommend booking this spot for a stay on Dauphin Island.

We had an awesome stay at this beautiful vacation rental. We had lots of fun at the beach with the easy boardwalk access. We made great B’fasts, grilled out and played corn hole and had a family board game night. Everyone had space to separate and to come together and we had 6 adults and two babies under one. Great porch and back deck. Pat (the host) is very responsive and helpful! I highly recommend.

The pictures don't do justice to this spacious, beautifully appointed home. It was easily the prettiest home we have ever rented, and we have been coming to the Gulf Coast for more than 25 years. Everything was spotlessly clean and there were numerous touches that helped us feel welcome and extremely comfortable. It was a breeze to walk to the pool, boardwalk, and beach, and having all of the extra storage and beach cart the owners provided made our daily beach visits even more pleasurable. There was a ton of parking space under the house, and the outdoor patio area, complete with party lights and cornhole, was a welcoming spot. We loved the huge screened-in porch and never needed the large portable fan the owners set aside for it. The kitchen was perfectly appointed and had tons of space for a family of five. The bedrooms were equally spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms and hallway were sizeable. I appreciated the laundry room and had more space in it than the one I have in my own house! We will definitely come back to this lovely spot and really appreciated everything about it. We recommend taking the Ft. Morgan ferry to see the Civil War-era fort area, and my parents said that Ft. Gaines on Dauphin Island was really educational and an enjoyable experience. The Estuarium eas closed for renovations, or we would have visited it as well. I am a runner, so the neighborhoods around DeSoto Landing were perfect for my afternoon exercise.

This was our first stay at Dauphin and won't be the last. The house was perfect for our family of 5. 3 bathrooms, beds for everyone, space to spread out inside, space to play outside, and a very short walk to the pool and beach. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is on a cul-de-sac so no traffic while the kids were outside. Fully stocked inside with a closet of beach toys downstairs Communication with the owners was great too. I wouldn't hesitate to book again!

As a family of five who rents 2-3 properties a year, we’ve seen the good and the bad (and the ugly). Honestly, this was the best of the best. New to DI, we didn’t care about east vs west end. But our decision for this east-end house was perfect for us: more topography, sage and heathered dunes with intermittent pines, and the sanctuary and sea lab right around the corner. From the moment we walked in the door to the reluctant goodbye, we found nothing amiss. Everything you’d need in a house for a week was in a logical place, in working order, and clean. With three teens we especially appreciated: - the proximity to the pool and beach - the backyard dunes for exploring - the front bedrooms with their own full baths, isolated from the living room and master bedroom - a large kitchen for us all to prep and cook If I could change anything - it would not be anything about the house. The gated neighborhood has a lot of construction, so there is a low murmur of ladders and pneumatic spray guns and wood saws. But that’s just a bit during the day, and chances are you’ll be out of the house anyhow. Certainly on our list of “places we’d return to” … and one day maybe we will!

Good communication from owners. Easy check in and check out. Comfortable. Easy walk to beach. Good amenities. Two new homes being constructed nearby, one almost done, one just started but neighborhood was still very quiet. For grandchildren we wish the outdoor community pool was heated.

This was our fourth visit to Dauphin Island but first to this property. The rental was exceptionally clean and well organized and had everything we needed and more. Rental was a short walk to the beach and included a pool. We loved the screened in back deck and had lots of space for our family to spread out. We’d definitely use again when in the area. It’s our favorite place we’ve rented from!

This a beautiful home at the end of a very quiet street. Just a short walk to the beach and pool. Kitchen and living room all open can watch TV while cooking meals. Tons of countertop for unpacking groceries or putting all your kids snacks out. Rocking chairs on the front porch great for drinking coffee in the morning. Definitely will be booking this house in the future. Pat was quick to respond to any questions we had. Thanks again for sharing your home.

So the first thing is that we lucked out on the weather. The forecast was calling for rain every day and it rained once while the sun was up. The pictures of the house on the VRBO site do not do it justice. My family has stayed in several houses on DI and this was the best one. It is extremely open, well built, and comfortable. The walk to the beach was a piece of cake, especially with the new boardwalk and the provided wagon. Loads of storage in the kitchen, bedrooms, and under the house for beach gear so bring what you want, if you're in to overpacking. We love this island, and we love this home. Thank you, Pat and Kurt for such and perfect place to relax.

House was great. Up to date and with everything needed for the week. Location makes for easy access to beach boardwalk and pool. Communication with owner was easy. Great time in DI!

Beautiful home and excellent location

Homeowners were wonderful. House was perfect for our family. Desoto Landing never disappoints. It ia a great place to rest and relax away from the daily demands and chaos!

The home was clean, and the proximity at the end of a cul-de-sac to the pool, tennis courts, and beach boardwalk was excellent. Good communication with the owner too. Would recommend!

We’ve stayed at multiple houses on Dauphin Island, in Desoto Landing and this was by far our favorite! The house was in great condition and was very clean. It had all the basics we needed plus many things that made our time at the beach easy. They have many different beach toys and chairs to use and a cart that made it handy to get to the beach. Each time we reached out to the owner Pat, she got back to us quickly and was a ton of help. We will definitely stay at this house again.

First of all, the house is beautiful! So clean and cozy! It took us 3 minutes to walk to the beach. And the private beach is beautiful. Perfect for walks, fishing and relaxing on the beach. The Island has so much to offer! Fort Gaines was a must see! We didn’t get to see everything that we wanted to. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful home in a very private community with an easy walk to the beach, pool, or tennis court. Loved the back screened porch to watch and listen to the birds.

This home is gorgeous, spacious, and has all of the necessary amenities to make for a very comfortable stay. The hosts are amazing and you can tell they put a lot of thought and care into every aspect of this home. It is beautifully decorated and within walking distance of the beach. The screened in back porch was perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The home has everything you need if you enjoy cooking, which our household does (and I would recommend for future visits as there are not a ton of restaurants on the island). Highly recommend this property and we hope to be back next year (maybe when it's slightly warmer out).

We walked a lot on the beaches and enjoyed the quiet location of the house. The house is in very good shape, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed to cook all our meals. The family/dining/living room in the house was easily large enough for some of us to puzzle on the big table and others having a discussion around the coffee table. Finding a bit of solitude to read on the deck or in one of the spacious bedrooms was just as easy.

Third stay here. Well kept and equipped for a relaxing vacation.

My husband and I were looking for a place to relax and we hit the jackpot!EVERYTHING about this stay was fabulous. There was everything that we needed AND items that we didn't know that we needed. We did not understand why there were flashlights in the house, but we understood when we saw families looking for crabs in the dark on the beach. Communictaion with the owners was terrific, they even took their time to contact us to make sure that we got in ok on our first day. BEAUTIFUL!!!!

This house and location is absolutely perfect if you're looking for a little getaway. So spacious and beautiful inside and the screened in deck was one of my favorite features.
