We had a fantastic stay! Walking distance to both the bay and the gulf, access to the canal and kayaks provided were a fun change of pace, everywhere we ate out for dinner was awesome! Perfect beach stay ❤️

Stayed here for 5 days in March as we came to Dauphin Island on our teacher spring break. The location is superb. We enjoyed fishing in the canals and taking the 4 minute walk to the gulf multiple times a day. Really, the only negative for us was some upkeep— there was lots of garbage in the yard (I spent an hour cleaning it up one day) and the grill was so rusted out that it was unusable. We would have loved to be able to open the big windows, but either way they were nice. We love to cook and the kitchen was very well stocked. The kayaks and boat launch were a giant plus as well. The location was quiet and it was nice to be a block off the windy gulf. Overall, We really enjoyed our stay!

Had a good time.

I gave it only 3 stars because we were the first to rent it in 2022 and there were some issues with a bed and one of the bathtubs. That said, it was a great space and I am sure John will fix these things ASAP. The house was clean and the layout was great for 2 moms with kids. The kitchen was well stocked, except coffee mugs, as was the downstairs shed for beach items. There is no need to lug sand toys/buckets or body boards. We used the kayak with the seat, one was missing. I would recommend setting a cake pan of water or a bucket at the entrance as we rinsed off downstairs but still tracked in sand by the time we got upstairs. Also, if you are working the internet wasn't great but I have stayed on this island many times and it can be hit or miss wherever you stay. Overall, great place and I would stay there again!

Nice property. Quiet neighborhood convenient to all activities.

Great house this was our first time to Dauphin Island and to use VRBO. Fishing was amazing from the canal. Home accommodations were fine. We had a couple of concerns but the owner took care of things immediately. Location location location was absolutely perfect. Best of both worlds walk across the street to the gulf or walk the same distance to the sound. Island does close down by 9 pm but that was perfectly fine with me. Crab traps and kayaks were in very good condition as well.

Perfect place for a family vacation. The house had plenty of room for all 7 of us and everything we could possibly need during our stay. Our kids did plenty of fishing off of the canal and rode in the kayaks. Short stroll to the beach. Owner got back to us quick with any questions we had. House was very clean and perfect for us. Only thing I suggest is possibly putting small TVs in other bedrooms. We can’t wait to visit again next summer!

We came to DI for rodeo week. This house was just what we needed. Multiple beds and rooms were perfect for our mixed group. The kitchen was well supplied. The outdoor space for working, cooking and hanging out was spacious. There was space to cook, eat, work and hang a hammock. The boat launch really sold us though! It is so nice to have such easy access. Great sunsets and sunrises, easy access to the beach, kayaks and crab traps can all be found there. We had a wonderful time! There is also a gate at the top of the stairs. It is great for containing kiddos and the dog.

Hesitant to post my review on line, the facility was not kept up. Lot of things I could say but will leave it as we want stay there again. We did have a wonderful neighbor and enjoyed family time.

Owner and neighbors were fabulous!!!!!

What a wonderful week we had here at Launch Pad, the location is great, a short walk to the gulf or the bay and right on the canal. Our whole crew loved fishing / crabbing off the dock, the Kayaks, everything. The home does need some repair but nothing that hindered our stay and he is working on updates. Owner was super easy to communicate with , super nice and answered all questions promptly. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we are missing it already! We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at the property. Fishing out back then short walk to the beach. Was perfect

We had a great time and this house was ideal! Love the location and the lay out. Love that we could fish right off our deck. What a plus to be able to launch out boat right from the house!

Could handle the weather but visitors should have been put on hold until property was repaired. Rained, was up during night wringing out towels because water was running down walls into main living area and under main door onto main living area.

-We had no internet for 2 days after previously confirming internet was good. We ended up having to call the internet provider to have come out to repair. -No TV for 2 days since the only TV is streamed over the internet -Numerous light bulbs burned out -It was raining the day we checked in. There was a towel strategically placed in a window that had water pouring in. -Because of the leaking window a large portion of that wall is completely rotten on the outside and inside. -Dishes were dirty. Some in the cabinets had food stuck on them. Kitchen drawers inside are filthy. -The house was generally not maintained well. Broken tile floors, lamp broken and doors don’t latch. - On a positive note when contacted the owner did responded quickly.

This house was perfect for our family’s spring break. Location cannot be beat for beach access. Upstairs deck was our favorite place for morning coffee and watching fish jump in the waterway. We enjoyed the dock for fishing and crabbing too. Home was stocked with any needed kitchenware and grill worked great too. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Dauphin Island.

The property was amazing. John was a great host and even stopped by one day to see if we needed anything. The wife and our girls loved being out on the kayaks too. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our trip to Dauphin Island! This house is a great location with 1 1/2 blocs to beach access! We took daily walks along the waters edge. Just what we needed! This was a safe and fun place to be to end 2020. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of the island. Pluses include: upper deck with gate, canal access for kayaks, open and vaulted great room, laundry!, grill, and fun restaurants to explore for take out :)

The private boat landing was an AMAZING bonus! Plenty of sleeping spaces, though There were only 3 of us. Perfect location for boating and fishing, and our dogs loved it as well! We look forward to coming back

Everything was a smooth process with renting this property. We hope to come back next year.

Everything was great! John is excellent at returning texts and emails! Beach was a very easy walk!!

This property worked out great for our family and friends. Great boat access for our boat and the kids loved the channel to kayak and swim.

Good experience

This is the second time we have stayed at this house. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 children. We love the convenience of the boat ramp since we bring our own boat and It’s centrally located with a very short walk to the beach. The kids also loved using the kayaks that are provided when renting this house. Mr. Reeves is a wonderful person to rent from and always answered any questions we had! We definitely will be back!!🤗

Nice house with boat launch... very comfortable... had a great time sailing in the bay... Great Location.

Great experience with the house and island!. The only problem we had was with the ac, which was taken care of in a timely matter.

This was our first trip to Dauphin Island with our family of 10 (including lots of teens!) This house had plenty of room for all of us. It was super clean and just as described. Having the boat ramp and dock was amazing- We took our 21ft Center Console Boat and had zero problems. Being able to leave it in the water and use homes not ramp was such a stress reliever! The house even has kayaks that we used every day! I understand why the island is called the “sunset capital of Alabama!” The sunsets were absolutely stunning right off the back deck every night! Lastly, After we left and arrived home my son realized he did not have his gold chain- not only did they find it cleaning but Mr Reeves mailed it to me with in days at no charge!! I can’t say enough good things about this rental. We can’t wait to go back

Excellent location and great responsiveness from the property manager!

Excellent location and a very comfortable house. We highly recommend this property!

Although the island was closed to business during this covid time, we were able to keep safe distances from others. Kids played in the water and caught pinfish and baby shrimp. When Americans are back open for business we will be back to enjoy this spot again.

Great location. Perfect for kayaking. Owner very responsive.
