The house was very clean and cute! We loved the close proximity to the beach. Vacasa was very helpful with any questions and so was the property manager in the area. They have lots of plates and silverware. They also have two coffee pots, two dishwashers, a crockpot, a waffle maker, a griddle, and lots of pots, and pans, so that you can cook all kinds of things! There are plenty of towels. We loved the 2 rooms with bunk beds because everyone had their own bed. There is a volleyball net so bring a ball. A couple things to help those coming to stay- please note these aren’t negative - just things to know. There aren’t any spices in the house, so plan accordingly. There is almost 2 flights of stairs to get in the house that you have to carry suitcases up. There are no extra blankets, so bring your own blankets for the couch or deck. They are building a new house in front of this house, so be very careful when pulling in the first time. To find the driveway, look for a wooden sign with the house numbers on it. If you pull into what looks like a steep driveway stop and back out- it’s the wrong one. Two vehicles got stuck turning into that driveway, including a contractor. The outside trash can was overflowing when we got there, so we made sure to take it to the curb on trash days. Trash runs twice a week and the schedule is on the fridge, so make sure you take the can to the curb for the next person staying at the house. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Great location, the house was fantastic!

The house was in a great location and spacious. Plenty of rooms and beds, open floor plan was light and bright. Loved the double decks! The kitchen had everything we could have needed, and the grill was in good shape and clean. Our third trip here with Vascasa , no issues ever. We would love to rent here again.

The location right on the beach was breathtaking, and having a well-stocked kitchen made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Very nice view and ammendides.

Great during winter stay for family. All amenities provided and awesome location.

Great Location, nice beach right odd the back porch. Nice open concept with a great gulf view from the kitchen, living area, and both main bedrooms. Well stocked kitchen. No houses in front of this home - unobstructive views.

We loved this house! Right on the beach, everything clean, plenty of towels and the kitchen is well stocked. Wished it had a high chair but other than that it was perfect!

Each year our family takes an annual trip to our favorite beach, Daulphin Island! It gives our family time to share together and enjoy the beautiful beach. Precious memories are always made!

This house was wonderful! Right on the beach with a balcony overlooking. Dauphin Island was a perfect destination for our family beach week!

We loved everything about this house and the location is beautiful - right on the beach! It's very clean and spacious. We will be back.

The house was amazing! It was clean and ready before regular check in. The place was beautiful and in a great location. The only complaint we have is regarding the driveway. It was very hard to see when coming in, and our GPS made us turn in the one beside it which looks like it was the old driveway because it was a small patch then became sand. We got stuck in the sand, and when we called for help their only response was to get a shovel. While the accidental turn isn't their fault, someone should rope off the old driveway as another car got stuck soon after. Otherwise though, the house was perfect!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL location & house. EXCEPT the management. I needed to cancel and sent emails and phone calls & texts and no answer. We would have lost all our money. Our family went on to stay in this home and none of the outlets in the kitchen worked after the 1st morning in the home. I contacted VACASA & spoke to someone from another country and always just took my name and number and never called me back. It was the last day before we had to check out, (trip was 5 days) then they came in to fix the issue. We had to cook breakfast outside on the front porch due to not having enough pans for a big family. All in all the money was well worth the stay. The home was beautiful but VACASA dropped the ball. ***OWNER OF THE HOME--I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO VACASA AND HOW THEY OPERATE YOUR PROPERTY***

Our family of 16 spent the weekend during a Mardi Gras parade and we absolutely loved the house. It was well equipped with cooking utensils (although the coffee pot was slow), the beds were comfortable, adorable decorations, open floor plans and room for everyone to sit together to eat and play board games. The outside was well lit and the kids played on the beach after dark. We could easily make this a yearly event for our family.

Lovely home. Well stocked kitchen. Amazing views as it is as described, directly on the beach. The house was perfect! We will likely be returning next year. However their was no response from the hosting company when we had questions about the remotes for the tvs. We emailed via Vrbo and through their Vacasa app. We only had one day of bad weather and we were able to make 2 of the 6 tvs work with all of the remotes provided. This would not stop us from returning, but is something to note. This was in New Years weekend, perhaps that explained the No response to emails. Even with the lack of communication we would all return, it was one of the best beach houses we’ve rented for our annual New Years met up

Wonderful place for our large group event. 9 days together, everything we needed!

The house is wonderfully situated on the beach and will sleep 22. However, many things within the house were broken (notified Vacasa the first day with documented pictures - no response). In addition, there were lots of nails and debris under the house that posed a real hazard (also sent pictures to Vacasa the first day - no response). The trash can was already full upon our arrival and there is only one can for a house that accommodates 22 people. TV's in several bedrooms did not work.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at Whatever They Want! The house was directly on the beach which was perfect for our family and two pups! (They loved the beach) We had plenty of room inside and on the decks to enjoy without being on top of each other. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. I would highly recommend Whatever They Want!

Perfect location and the views can't be beat.

We loved the location of the house, and the beach right outside our door! The house was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of space, and the kitchen was well equipped.

This home was exactly as described. Very clean and spacious.

Perfect location. Home looked just like the pics. Beautifully decorated. Well appointed kitchen. We had everything we needed. Beach was beautiful!

This was the cleanest house, best stocked with dishes, cooking pans, plastic containers, silverware, cooking utensils that we have ever stayed in. We had a wonderful time. would highly recommend.

We wanted a non-commercialized area so that we could just visit and relax. We had 3 couples with 12 kids (12 y/o, 13 y/o, the remaining 10 were 18+) so we were worried about the bunk bed configurations. There was plenty of room and they had a blast. The kitchen was surprisingly stocked with more than enough glasses of all sizes, plates (small & large), bowls, utensils and coffee cups. There was a limited amount of plasticwear, so we left two plastic pitchers and an assortment of 12 oz plastic cups for the house. The extra large covered deck allowed us to visit while enjoying hours of dolphin-watching without being beaten by the sun. The house could be optimal with ceiling fans in the bunk bedrooms, a larger refrigerator and a sink in the island.

Floor plan was perfect, Close proximity to the water was nice. Great home for large families. However, a couple of safety issues need to be addressed. We will definitely return next year.

This home was perfect for our group of 10 adults, 1 child and 1 dog (with beds to spare!). The one-level layout was very well-thought out, and the house was nicely decorated and well-kept. The balcony was well-furnished and provided a beautiful view! We loved having the beach "in our backyard". There is a foot-rinsing station on the lower deck, which was a nice touch. There's also a tall shower under the deck. We had four vehicles and were able to all park in the driveway with room to spare. Our entire party agreed that we'd return in a heartbeat!

The home is beautiful and decorated so cute. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need, except I would suggest an ice maker instead of a second dishwasher. We had very little ice coming from the refrigerator’s ice maker upon arrival and it never seemed to catch up to having more than a few cup fulls each day for the remainder of our stay. Regarding the back deck I would suggest a gate at the lower deck closest to the beach just like the one at the main deck. There desperately needs to be some steps added at the bottom of the stairs as you step onto the beach. That is quite a large space that you must stretch to maneuver and the risk of falling is great. The location of the home is perfect and I cannot wait to come back again. “What They Want” has everything you need to relax and rejuvenate.

Property was great for several families. Do make sure to take your consumable essentials with you. Kitchen is well stocked with equipment, plenty of towels in closets. Pack your boogie boards as the surf was excellent for this every day!

We vacation a lot so I take reviews of property very seriously. This house is definitely worth renting. It is immaculately clean, and you couldn’t ask for a better location!! It was my husband and I and 7 teenagers. We definitely had enough room to sleep comfortably with 5 bedrooms. The 4 bathrooms was a plus having so many teens. The house would be great for two families. The house was very spacious, and the kitchen had everything needed. The house was located just as advertised. RIGHT ON THE BEACH!! Ample parking for everyone. When I tell you this house had everything… I mean everything!! It even had a crockpot, waffle maker, and George Foreman grill. The only thing we can complain about is the beds were not comfortable. The mattresses were new and in great shape, but very hard. Also we had no broom or mop. We went to the local dollar store for that. The grill outside had an empty propane bottle. We had to pay $50.00 to have one filled. That was a bit disappointing considering the house was quite pricey for off season. Please note if you are looking for gorgeous white sands and beaches filled with large crowds and jets skis, you may want to rent in Florida. If you are looking for low crowds and relaxation… this is your rental!!! The beaches are very nice and clean!!! We rented golf carts and rode around the island and got fresh seafood steamed to eat on the fabulous porch. If you are looking for a relaxing spot, this rental is for you!! We will be back next year!!

Only negative is the not so comfy bunk beds/mattresses. If you can get pass that this is by far an incredible place to stay

Modern, clean, everything you need!

The location and the beautiful beach can’t be beat. However the house itself was equally as wonderful!!
