The house was wonderful and all the amenities provided were awesome! Our host was great and even mailed me some AirPods that one of my teenagers dropped on our way out! We loved kayaking and paddling in the bay and playing cards on the porch!

We will be hack

Comfy, clean, well-equipped, and beautiful!

Lil House was perfect for our family vacation to Dauphin Island. We chose this house due to all the extra fun activities it had to offer outside of going to the beach everyday. Cornhole and Ping-Pong was a daily activity. We especially enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. The description doesn't lie when talking about the amazing sunsets! Even our boys enjoyed heading out to the dock to watch the sunset each night. My goal for our trip was a laid back and relaxing time for myself without having to feel like I needed to entertain someone everyday. Mission accomplished - there were more than enough options. I underestimated the beauty of the surroundings when not right on the beach, the location and aesthetic of this home was just perfect. Also worth mentioning, the furniture was all very comfortable - and I loved having so many different hang out spaces. Just about everyone took turns napping on the giant swing. We'd never been to the island before but knew from research that there weren't a ton of dining out options. We prepared most all of own meals at the house and loved the fact that everything we needed was already there. I only have one regret about the whole stay...we did not visit the Lighthouse Bakery until our last morning. Oh my gosh! It should definitely be a must on your list.

This was such a great place to stay. The location couldn’t be better with bay access/fishing right in front of the house and a short walk to the beach. There are so many thoughtful touches in the house and handy beach tools and toys in the storage closet. There is something fun for everyone.

We enjoyed our week at Lil House!! There was plenty of room for all 9 of us, we loved all the amenities, especially the kayaks!!! We played corn hole, ping pong! The only thing I have negative to say and this isn’t the owners fault was the refrigerator smelt like fish horribly( I assume from prior guest fishing and storing them) but I took 30 minutes and cleaned it out before putting our groceries in there. And the smell was gone! The neighbors was exceptional, and so friendly!! We love Dauphin Island and this just might become our yearly vacation spot!! We visited Fort Gaines and USS Alabama also so lots of attractions within a hour from the house. Definitely a different vibe and away from the crowds of Florida!!

We enjoyed our stay at Lil House! There was plenty of room for all 7 of us. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for the meals we cooked. There was lots to do outside for fun. We really enjoyed the sanded areas for play, fished of the dock, played ping pong and took the kayaks out in the bay. The wrap around porch was great for watching the beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend this spot.

Lil House was a great spot to enjoy spring break. The outdoor area is truly the best part. The kayaks, the ping pong table, outdoor games, fish and the sitting area. When the weather was good, there were so so many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The home is small but plenty of room for a family of 4. Such a great host and considered everything for a guest to enjoy their stay. If you are looking for a low key get away, away from crowds and lines, this place is great! Thank you for being a great host!

This house is perfect! It is clean, updated, comfortable, plenty of beds, full of extras and right on the water. We had 3 generations stay for a week. The separate teen room on the bottom is fantastic. There were sound machines in every bedroom. The kitchen is very well stocked. Including an amazing Breville waffle iron. Definintely plan on making waffles during your stay. And the green egg type grill was fantastic for seafood bought at Skinner's. Be sure to buy your groceries before you cross the bridge to the island and then just relax. There are seating options everywhere outside and gorgeous views all day. The sunsets are stunning. This is the perfect place to stay and completely relax away from it all and just have fun together as a family. Susan is a very responsive and gracious host and couldn't have been more pleasant to communicate with. This was the best VRBO we have stayed in!

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful rental. The property is great - it has everything you need. And it feels more like a charming, beautiful home than a rental. Wonderful sunsets from the wrap around porch. Beautiful outdoor spaces. Property owner is local, very responsive and provides you with all the information and suggestions needed to get the most out of your stay on this beautiful island. We will be back next year!

My family enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had lots of amenities! The weather wasn’t bad but in the days it was we still have plenty to keep us busy. Thanks!

We arrived in the midst of an arctic blast. Notwithstanding, the place is great. Accurately describes, right on the water, convenient location. Host communication was phenomenal, ensuring quick check in and several times ensuring we were alright (again, due to weather). The bunkhouse was perfect for our two teenagers. It was like they had their own place during our stay. Host provided many amenities not found in other VRBOs we have stayed (spices, toiletries, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, washing machine detergent). Enough to get us through our entire stay. Check out was just as easy. We would definitely stay here again if we travel to the area.

Great property with lots of amenities! Can’t wait to come back!

This Lil House was perfect for our family get together. Being so late in the season, the weather was iffy but it didn't matter because the weekend was all about eating meals with the family, laughing, and playing with the kids. The two teen age granddaughters slept in the room with the single beds. The trundle pulled out so their young autistic brother could sleep in there too and he was very comfortable and happy. The downstairs unit was perfect for my husband's sister and our daughter and her two grandkids. Then my husband and I had the master and our daughter and her husband the other large bed. Everything I needed the whole weekend for cooking was available in the kitchen and my husband did the turkey on the green egg for Thanksgiving. We saw schools of fish swimming under the dock, jelly fish off the dock, and tons of seabirds. We played board games and ping pong and watched a Christmas movie all together. We visited the Sea Lab, pet sting rays, and saw dolphins in the cove there! The house was very clean and had more than enough of everything. It was the perfect house to accommodate our large group inside and outside when gathering together. We had an excellent time. Thank you!

Have stayed on Port Royal at Dauphin Island in several houses. This is one of my favorites!

We loved our stay at Lil House!!! There were so many things there to make our stay as if we were at home - extras in the kitchen and bathrooms and as promised, lots to do outside for fun. We really enjoyed the sanded areas for play and the large padded swing for naps - oh that was marvelous. The wrap around porch was so fun for the kids to run around. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous. Fishing was better off the dock than going out on a chartered boat! And the hosts were easy to get ahold of for all our needs! Highly highly recommend this spot for your vacation.

The house was beautiful and Susan was great. It was a bit smaller than it seemed on the listing and we weren’t able to utilize the downstairs due to mold smell. The downstairs bunks which we were planning to have for our boys was also not accessible through the upstairs inside of the house… so not suitable for younger children as a bedroom… the house was not as clean as we would have liked, but all in all we had a great time relaxing on the island.

This house was beyond perfect for our family vacation. This is our last family vacation before our youngest goes off to college and we could not have picked a better place. The best part of this house was the outdoor space, and we spent the majority of our awake time lounging on the bed swing (my favorite), playing ping pong (the kids favorite), grilling out and watching the dive bombing pelicans, dolphins and other sea creatures from the dock. It was the most relaxing vacation and just what we needed. The island is beautiful and west end beach is the perfect place to watch the sunset. We couldn't get over the beauty of it all. Thank you for providing such a perfect retreat for families.

We really loved the Beautiful view of the bay. Fishing was awesome right off the dock. It was perfect for our family and friends. It made our stay on Dolphin Island a very memorable stay.

This is our 5th stay on the Island. This house had everything you could ever need. Honestly it was perfect. Hubby would have liked a king size bed but that’s it❤️

We absolutely LOVED this house and the island itself. The house is SO comfortable…Susan has everything there to make a comfortable and enjoyable trip. There was so much outdoor seating…we spent hours fishing on the dock and just porch sitting and soaking up the view. We never got tired of the view! The neighbors were also very friendly and helpful! We took the ferry over to Gulf Shores one day for some added excitement, but the daily simplicity of the island was exactly what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and we will certainly be back!

This house was amazing for our family vacation. We needed a rest from our hectic schedule back home. We enjoyed Lil House and all the games on the property. We played corn hole, ping pong, played cards and fished off the dock. When we didn’t feel like taking all of our stuff to the beach, we enjoyed laying out in the beach lounge chairs or sat on the deck. We watched dolphins swim by the dock nightly. If you enjoy relaxation, this home is for you. We hope to rent again someday. Thanks for everything Susan, The Medjey Family

Renting this property was easy and enjoyable. Information provided by the owner was fantastic. The house was Wonderful! We hope to go back next year!

Had a great stay at lil house. Everything was as described. The house was nice and in a nice location. Neighborhood was quiet. Had fun jump off the dock and swimming. We kayaked and paddle boarded. Did a lot of fishing right off the dock as well. Owner was very communicative, answered all my questions, and gave suggestions of things to do in the area. All around great trip.

We have such a nice time at Lil House, the location and dock were perfect. We saw dolphins and pelicans during the day and the night fishing light allowed us to see fish and jellyfish. The island is peaceful and family friendly, we also went to both public beaches and enjoyed our time there.

Defiantly one of our favorite places on Dauphin!! Lots of things to do right on the property, Paddleboards Ping Pong table Grill much more plenty of outside seating I could go on and on Will defiantly be back!!

Lil' House on Dauphin Island was a little slice of paradise. The view was amazing with incredible sunsets, pelicans soaring above, a few dolphins swimming by, and lots of fishing. Each night we enjoyed the company of a local crane who would use the light in the water for fishing. It was so fun to kayak and paddleboard along with the sound. It's a different culture than anything I've experienced. This is definitely the place to go if you love fishing, the beach, and just gazing out at the water. It's a quiet island in the winter and we loved the slower pace. Us Northerners were a bit intimidated to swim in the sound considering we saw lots of jellyfish. But that didn't stop us from enjoying the gulf waters at the public beach a few minutes away.
