We rent homes on Dauphin Island a couple times a year and this property could have been one of the best in terms of location, size, and amenities. However, the house has a severe roach infestation. Not just a few random bugs; they were crawling across the floors and up the walls, they were in the cabinets and drawers. We had to rewash everything in the kitchen for each use. We rented via VRBO, but all communication afterwards was through Vacasa and it is not a great combination. My husband and I contacted Vacasa multiple times regarding the roach problem and all we got were auto AI responses. We were told that a property manager would reach out to us, but this never happened. All we wanted was someone to come spray and clean out cabinets, drawers, and closets. What could have been the best vacation was overshadowed by the bugs and complete lack of customer service.

The inside of the house is great very well stocked. But we booked this house in April for the hot tub and on arrival we were told they had ordered a part for it and it was unusable. The communication between Vacasa and the property manger was not helpful and was really just a waiting game. I really wish we would have rented with a more reliable site.

It was a fantastic location, the house was beautiful and just as pictured. Fully stocked kitchen, with every dish and gadget you might need. Plenty of everything for a large group. Even dishes for the little ones! They provided a small amount of dish soap and dishwasher detergent. Some reviews said there were spices stocked. Ours were NOT, so be prepared to bring your own or buy some. There was also a mop and a broom, but no cleaning solutions, so I recommend buying some. You'll get a starter supply of toilet paper and paper towels, but you'll need to buy some if you stay longer than a couple of days. It was wonderful to be able to just walk right down to the beach from the house. Soft, clean sand, and the water was great! They are installing an outdoor shower, so future renters can look forward to that! They provided beach toys for the kids, and the hot tub was great. The grill worked well, and the outdoor furniture was perfect. The beds are on the firm side, but not at all uncomfortable. There are extra linens and tons of towels provided. The extra fridge and freezer space was a surprise bonus! Overall it was a fantastic stay, and I would most definitely visit again. Dauphin Island is a gem!

We enjoyed our vacation. I did send a couple of comments to the property manager that I do hope are addressed.

We stayed at the Dr’s orders with a small group of women from our Mardi Gras float in January. The living area was very spacious, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots big enough to cook a large group meal. The Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked nicely. They also had two ice boxes so we did not have any problems with having to use ice chest. We only got to enjoy the jacuzzi for one night due to it not working our first night and then weather the rest. Outside patio was filled with furniture for you to enjoy the beach views. Also loved how spacious the rooms were! The location was very peaceful and the views were beautiful!

The layout of the home is perfect for a large party. The deck furniture is top notch and there is plenty of it! The furniture inside the home, however is quite dated and in need of replacement. We were a bit unnerved that there is only one staircase up to the house. It is at the side of the house. There is no staircase directly down to the beach off of the gulf front deck like most gulf front homes. We were actually shocked that this would be up to code for fire safety reasons. There is a door from the laundry room, which was so rusted that it doesn’t lock or latch to open/close. You just push/pull it open. I notified the property manager, so hopefully they will fix that. The deck railing is faulty/broken in many spots and the entire deck needs to be pressure washed and have a good maintenance once over. While we wouldn’t stay in this particular home again, we would absolutely rent through Vacasa with this property manager. We had issues with missing garbage cans and the hot tub and the manager was super attentive. All in all a good stay. There are just better maintained/updated homes on the island.

It was a great house for us to rent, the house had so much room and lots of kitchenware and fridge space. The hot tub was nice to have on a chilly night. When we got there it was dark and we drove a little too far under the house, we got stuck in the sand but Vacasa was kind enough to pull us out. The porch had lots of really nice chairs to sit in or lounge in. Overall great place!!
