This house is in a nice location but the condition of this home is not represented well at all in the pictures. We read the prior poor reviews of this property before booking and thought it wouldn’t be that bad… we were wrong. We rented this house because it has a heated pool and we have small kids. Needless to say the pool filter doesn’t work they just fill it from a garden hose and let it sit. No chlorine or anything. We had to wash all the bedding before using it. The beds were just made not changed out from the previous guests. There are so many broken tiles and missing grout that we worried about kids cutting their feet. Two of the three doors on the first floor don’t work and have to remain dead bolted so they don’t blow open in the wind. The staircase from the back of the deck down to the beach is actually missing. The landing for the steps is there but the steps are gone. All of the windows are screwed closed which seems extremely dangerous. If there was a fire the upstairs bedrooms would be impossible to get out of without breaking the glass out of the window frame. We talked with Adam from Dauphin Island Beach Rentals. He is very nice and gave us a $350 refund for the pool not working. He has many other beach properties to choose from. We recommend staying at one of his other properties. The pictures of this home are many years old and do not represent the condition of this property

The location of this home on Dauphin Island is very good. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the beach. The view from the crow's nest is amazing. However, the home is definitely in need of attention and updates. It is overpriced for the condition it is in.

Our family had a great time! Prefect spot on the beach and the pool was amazing! The beds were comfortable and they had plenty of extras for our big family! The game room was a huge added bonus! Only downfalls I would say would be the living room tiles were very cracked and most of the doors to the outside were very difficult to open and shut. Other than those things we had a wonderful stay!

We adore DI and this was our first time at this rental but 5th time renting on the island. We love the beach, surf fishing and location. As per prior reviews we would urge the home owners to put just a little TLC into this home. There are hardly any spoons in a home supposed to be for over a dozen people, no hot pads to be able to take things out of the oven safely, and we had to not use one of the doors onto the deck for fear that it's rusty hinges were going to stop supporting the door. There were no clean kitchen towels or was cloths....i had to do a load of laundry (with my own detergent as none is provided) in order to be able to use them. The downstairs AC stopped working but was repaired in 2 days thankfully. Despite all of above, we DID have a lovely time with family. The kids loved the little pool. We love to surf fish and the location is great for that. The sunrise and sunsets on the island were heavenly as always. I would urge DIBR to communicate with the owner about the above concerns noted by myself and prior renters.

Very easy. Liked the house. Not very clean. Needs some updates.

The view was great and the so was the dipping pool. The house is not kept up. Broken blinds, broken screens, wood not nailed on the deck or porch chairs. Very outdated furniture, bedding, and a broken kitchen chair. Would not rent again
