From check-in until we left, this was a dream rental. Well supplied kitchen, comfortable furniture, CLEAN! Loves everything about this house and plan to return Thank you for a wonderful holiday!!

Location, space, view

The house and room sizes were nice. We needed a little more seating in the living room, but we just brought in chairs from the dinning room. We enjoyed the views from both decks. Overall we had a nice vacation on the island.

We had a great time. This house slept all 7 of us comfortably and the commons areas are spacious and comfortable. Dauphin Island is a fun, laid back, beach experience. The bayside waters were calm and warm and the west end beach is just a couple of minutes away. We’ll be back!

Loved the location, size of the property and the amenities. Would definitely stay again.

It’s a perfect location on the bay and a short 4 min walk to the beach. We ended up spending more time on the bay side beach because it got so windy on the Gulf side. We watched the sunset from the back deck! The inside of the house was in pretty good shape and it was clean! It is nicely laid out with plenty of space for the 4 of us. Beverage fridge in the kitchen was helpful. The kitchen had stuff for cooking, but it was completely disorganized and we had to constantly hunt for items. Outside, the wood flooring of the deck seemed to be recently updated, but the stairs from the upper deck to the backyard need replaced badly. Many screens were torn and also needed replaced. Also, we were surprised there was no beach gear at the house. Every rental I’ve stayed in at the beach usually has a supply of chairs and umbrellas - there was none of that which I found very unusual. All in all we had a great trip and are considering going back again next year!

We found the house very clean and comfortable, and we loved the decks and the view of the Bridge. We needed extra blankets, as well as sheets for the fold-out sleeper sofa. There were plenty of towels but not enough extra linens for the cool nights. There is a minor repair on the bed post in the larger bedroom upstairs that needs attention. but we had a wonderful stay and will come again!

Overall we had an excellent stay at this property, and the views of the bay were amazing. Our young children had an excellent time on the beach. I was slightly disappointed with the cleanliness of the property when we checked in, something that is very noticeable when traveling with my two toddlers. The house had been cleaned, countertops were clean, and beds were made. My main complaint was the floors were still rather dirty. There is a definite musty smell to the house as well. Does the view and ample bedroom space make up for this? Most likely, but I feel it's notable. We would definitely travel back to the area, not sure on if we would go to the same property.

The property was clean and easy to find. We had plenty of room for 8 adults and didn’t feel crowded. Loved sitting on the deck relaxing and watching the ocean.

Whoever took the pictures for this property deserves a raise, because the pics are much better than the reality of the property..Everything is incredibly outdated and falling apart..The location relative to the bay is nice, but that’s were the positives stop..The neighboring house on the West side is apparently owned by the owner of Micro Comm, the provider of internet for the island..He appears to be using the house as a business location for his workers and storage for materials..Several of his work trucks, large rolls of fiber optic cable, etc..On several occasions, 5-6 of his workers just hung out all day talking outside..Annoying..I do not recommend this property.

wonderful well maintained and clean home with beautiful views. If i had any negative experience while there i would have to say the coded entry lock was a pain the entire time we were there. they need to have instructions for the use of that thing.

Easy access to the bay and short walk to the gulf side beach.

Our trip was a bummer but not because of the house. We had terrible weather the entire stay. The house has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. It does need new windows and doors desperately. The kitchen could use a few more basic supplies. The deck furniture definitely needs to be replaced. The location is great and easy to walk over to the gulf side. We saw dolphins from the deck and enjoyed watching others fish. It was our first time on the island and we would definitely try again at a less rainy time of year! We appreciated all the large beds as we were a party without kids. It's a nice quiet place to enjoy the water.

Beautiful bay side house & very short walk to beach across the street. It was great!

We enjoyed our stay at Surf n Turf. Super cute and comfortable. Our beds were comfortable. Lots of dining space. Kitchen was well equipped and functional. A small punch list of cosmetic “fixes” could be addressed, but NOTHING that bothered us. Plenty of room to sit and view the water or eat outside. We never used it, but appreciated the option to grill our favorites. Easy and close access to the beaches. Our favorite meal out was at The Lighthouse Bakery. We also enjoyed Skinners Seafood for dinner one night. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We loved the house plenty of room had everything you needed, the kids loved it went to the gulf side in the morning just a short walk and the bay was right out the back door in the afternoon not to far from shops restaurants and activities it was a great week would definitely go again

We really enjoyed our stay at Surf ‘n Turf! This house had all we needed for cooking all our meals at home. I especially loved being able to watch my children play on the beach while I put their lunch together. We went to the gulf side to swim a few times, and it was only a short walk. We brought hammocks and relaxed under the house at night and enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets! We recommend buying groceries at Greer’s before getting on the island and getting seafood from Skinner’s on the island. The only trouble we had was the upstairs tub leaked into the kitchen below, so we didn’t use it. Also the house next door didn’t have residents and the porch lights were on over there all day/night which meant the master bedroom was never very dark. We noticed the upstairs got very warm during the day, but we found if we shut the bedroom doors it stayed much cooler. We had such an amazing time on Dauphin Island!

We so enjoyed it. Windows need replacing. The upstairs master bath is very rotten around the inside trim. A lift on the outside for luggage, etc would be wonderful. We would come back.

Nice location. Peaceful

my oldest daughter is getting married on the 30th so I wanted to take her on a little pre wedding vaca; this place was perfect! Just as described. loved stepping off the back steps and having the beach right in the backyard. Bonus surprise were all of the seashells we found everyday along the shoreline. Not one disappointment over our weekend. we used three of the four bedrooms and everyone said their beds were comfy. They are more firm than soft, but just what we needed after long days walking the beach. (We prefer firmness due to back issues.) 100% would stay here again. If we come back to Dauphin Island, I don’t want to rent any other place.

Surf N’Turf was a nice home to vacation with my family. It was a haven for coziness and tranquility. I hate that the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy the beach life like we wanted but for the most part the home made a great stay. We will return again when it is a little warmer.

Wonderful time!! So happy with the house and a perfect beach view. Would highly recommend this home. Thank you!

We loved our stay and was sad we had to leave due to hurricane Sally. We really love the fact that we were not going to lose our time we paid for and will be rescheduling soon. Loved the house

Excellent COVID Getaway!

This property is in dire need of repairs and upkeep. The cleaning could have been done better. The door handles were falling off. The outside furniture needs to be replaced. It was rusted out and torn. The outside electric outlet was falling out of the socket. The deck all around the house needs to be replaced. Planks on the boardwalk were missing or pulled up and on the lawn. The pictures from website were misleading!!

I want to Thank, Vacasa for making this an incredibly easy and welcoming vacation. The Surf n Turf house was just right for my family. A wonderful view of the Bay, easy access to the gulf side and quick 2 mins down to “west end beach”. House was comfortable and had everything we needed. No issues at all, and look forward to our return.

We loved this property! Management was very quick to respond to any questions or assistance that we needed. Everyone was very friendly and the house was great! We would definitely stay here again.

Property was great but came during tropical storm Cristobal so 2 out of 4 days were ruined

Clean, cozy, and perfect! Great location!!!

Great place!
