The Ahhh House was perfect for our family of 7 (My wife & I, plus 5 boys ages 6-17). It was very clean...had everything you need to prepare dinners. It has a charcoal grill, but it's a "park-like" grill so no lid, & its a bit difficult to grill if its windy. We had some slight issues with using the key to lock the door when we left & at night. Property management handled it ASAP. My kids love to fish and throw cast nets, so having easy access to the bay was so awesome. We spent a full day just swimming & fishing in the bay. I assume because of past hurricanes there is some "stuff" in the bay, plus there are rocky areas...just be aware or wear water shoes. The beach access is just across the non-busy street. The beach was awesome. Great sand...great surf. We could pack a wagon, cooler & lunch to spend the day. If someone forgot something it was a 4-5 minute walk back to the house. No crowds at all because only the surrounding single-family homes have access. We love the beach & fishing. We make most of our meals, so Dauphin Island is perfect for us. If you like a lot of restaurant choices...you'll be dissatisfied. Hit up a grocery before you get on the island...the Ship & Shore has everything you need to fill in for a vacation, but not a ton of selection. We had almost rain free weather, so it was beach or bay every day, but did spend a morning visiting the Alabama Aquarium, Fort Gaines & other Bird Sanctuary trails followed by lunch at Pirates Bar & Grill. It was great.

The house was great! Directly across from the beach and also had the bay directly out the back. The kids loves crab hunting at night at the bay! The beds in 3 of the rooms could use better mattresses. But over all a great week at the beach

easily the worst place my family and I have stayed in 30+ years. we normally have a group of our family (40+ people) that travel together every year and we were looking for new places this year for all of our family to come. family time was nice as always but we didn’t get to really have a vacation seeing as we were trying to treat the ant infestation that this house has all week. eventually two days before we left, the property manager told the pest control that we have “sugar ants and that they don’t bite” however we are all covered in big bites and the pest control confirmed that it was fire ants and termites! the pest control people were great and apologized multiple times but it was not their fault seeing as it wasn’t made known to them. on top of everything we didn’t have a dryer until our last day which was an inconvenience seeing as we have small children and are at a beach. there were other minor things as well but this all could have been made a better experience if we at least had been shown respect. we tried multiple times through email, text, and calls but we were either ignored or told we’d get a call back which never happened until we went to the office. But like the property manger told us we need to stop making theories and let them know the problems so they can fix it. She also said we have to remember this is an island things are slow and laid back“this isn’t destin,gulf shores, or Mobil.” We were told over and over the manager would call and never did

The Ahh House was perfect for our family! Close to the beach, the deck was the perfect place for morning coffee, and it was so clean! We definitely enjoyed our time there!

The Ahhh house was everything described and more. Condition of the house and property was flawless and I stay at rentals several times a year, so I have many to compare to. Comfy, spotless, well designed and a perfect location. One of my friends who traveled with me is going back in the fall!

I’m a surf fisherman who rents 2-3 beach homes per year. This has been one of our favorites! It’s right across the street from the beach which made it easy to haul my gear. The house felt brand new and was well stocked. We can’t wait to come back! The only nits I will pick is that the king bed was pretty hard and while not necessarily due to the owners but more to irresponsible guests, the non-stick cookware needs to be replaced ASAP. I won’t hesitate to rent again.

It was a quiet stay with easy access to both the beach and the bay. The neighbors were nice and helpful as well!

House is in a very good location to beach & bay, easy access to both. Two rear bedroom doors would not lock leaving us a bit uneasy leaving for a length of time. Appliances beginning to show their age, lacking decent stove top pans for cooking/frying, pans have non-stick servicing worn/missing - question safety of continued use. House keeping did a very good job before we arrived.
