We had 7 adults and 9 kids (ages 1-7) and met here for the week of Thanksgiving. It accommodated us very comfortably and had everything we needed (and more!) for meals, going to the beach, grilling, and hanging out. The location is great, the house is just as described, the setting is beautiful, and the host was very helpful. We will be keeping this place in mind next time our families from Texas, Alabama, and Georgia are looking to get together.

Hostess was great with communication. The house was great. Lots of room to spread out and sleeping. It was our Christmas gift to our three kids, spouses and 10 grandkids. The beach was close and beautiful view from screened in deck. Everything you need to in kitchen. Toys inside and for beach. Week went by too fast. Loved how relaxing and laid back the island is. Would love to come back. ❤️

We had a total of 16-18 people during the course of our stay ranging from age 6 months to 60 years old. This home accommodated everyone and had just about everything you could need for the beach, cooking meals and anything else you could need during the stay. Even the screened in porch had enough space for everyone to sit at the same time! The easy walk to the water was amazing! Loved every minute of our week in this home!

A super place to stay. Very spacious, even with 15 people. Property was very clean and well appointed. Beach access was easy and not crowded at all. Great place to stay!

We absolutely loved this house! We had 20 people (8 adults & 12 kids) and this house was plenty big enough for us all to spread out and have plenty of room. It's certainly a kid friendly house also with not a whole bunch of breakable decorations around. It even has board games, coloring books, and toys for the kids to play with. We loved the screened in porch, it had plenty of room for us to spread out and sit. Our favorite place to hang though was the large area under the house. We grilled and hung out while the kids played in the sand nearby. And this house is the best stocked house we have ever stayed at! When I say it had EVERYTHING I mean it had absolutely everything! The storage room down stairs has storage totes FULL of beach toys, there are 2 wagons, TONS of boogie boards, nets, shovels, and even a kayak. The house itself was well stocked with every dish, kitchen appliance, or knickknack you could think you might need. The house is beach front, with a little short path over the sand dune. We could sit on the porch and watch the rest of our family at the beach. The crows nest is another cool feature. We sat up there several times and enjoyed the sunset and breeze. And the owner is a PURE GEM! She responds VERY quickly and is SO SWEET! We loved this house so well we plan on booking this same house next time we come to Dauphin Island.

This home is the perfect place to create family memories that will last a lifetime. A beautiful spacious and well equipped home for people of all ages. My wife and I took our kids and grandkids here for a week long vacation and I honestly could not have asked for anything more. Its a beautiful location right on the beach. I especially enjoyed the large screened in deck with a wonderful view of the beach. I had occasion to communicate with the Teresa the owner/host both before and during our stay. She was very quick to respond to my inquiries and her responses were always very friendly and kind. A beautiful large home, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, a wonderful host all right on the beach. What more could you ask for. There were 14 of us ranging in age from 4 to 64 years old and we created memories that will last us a lifetime. Thanks Teresa for sharing this little piece of paradise with us.

It had been years since we'd had a family vacation together, and we now had three grandchildren (3, 14 mos. & 8 mos.) to add to the mix. Beach Funk turned out to be a perfect fit. We were able to block off the one set of stairs that tempted the 3 year to no end, but nothing else needed to be 'kid proofed' much. The screened porch was our haven out of the sun but still able to hear and see the surf. The kitchen easily supports three cooking simultaneously with lots of counter space and two separate sinks. The master suite is very lovely! - two baths accompany it - hubby got one and I got the one with the jacuzzi and separate shower. You can't go wrong with Beach Funk. We'll be back next year.

A first-ever family vacation with 4 of my adult children, their spouses, and the grandkids. This house accommodated us all comfortably, was kid- and family-friendly, and provided easy access to the beach. We all loved the open, well-stocked kitchen and living area and the screened porch along the back of the house - such great spaces for cooking together as a family and enjoying family meals together and time to just hang out and visit. The short walk to the beach was a particular asset, especially for the little people. We trailered in kayaks, a golf cart, bikes, lots of beach chairs, boogie boards, etc., but discovered a treasure trove of many of these items already available at the property. The tower was a favorite of the adult population for viewing sunsets, sunrises, and late-night conversations with nighttime star gazing. "Thumbs up" from all the fam - we are already talking about next year!

Had a really nice time, beach house was a very nice place to celebrate a family birthday!! Kitchen well stocked with cooking and baking items. This house is great for big family gatherings. Beach access is just a few yards away. Screened in porch definitely was my favorite place to be, loved sitting and just watching the waves.

House was extremely well stocked and very clean. The bed we slept in was comfortable and everything we considered important was well maintained. The house was a pet friendly one but had absolutely no pet odors. It is a great value, especially for the spring rates we got to stay there.

The house and property was an excellent location for family fun! Great times were had from the swimming, fishing and kayaking. The sunrise from the crows nest deck with coffee as well as the sunsets were breathtaking! The house layout was perfect allowing a little privacy for everyone. Whether you have a large family or multiple families look no further, you won't be disappointed!

Our house was perfect! Our location to the beach was amazing, I was worried being one house back, but it wasn't an issue at all! Kids were able to go back and forth and we left our chairs and umbrella on the beach. Our favorite part of the house was the screened in porch!

Amazing house, it fit our family perfectly. It was just as described, great views and short walk to the beach. Owner was very quick to respond when we had a question. Would go back to this house again and again, but it’s already booked for the next year, so jump on it if you’re interested.

We had a great experience at Beach Funk! Fourteen of us including my wife, our 3-children plus their spouses and children (all under 6-years old). Good gathering places as a whole or subgroups.
The kiddos loved the screened in porch. It was a nice run for them.
Very well stocked from food condiments to beach gear/toys. We ‘way’ over packed!
Would love to go back!
