The property was well maintained and well stocked in the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, usually an issue for me in most rentals. Quick walk to the beach, maybe 4 houses down. Just a few minutes drive to good eats and fun activities. Will definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a laid back stay with 2 families. The beach is very close to the house and the quiet atmosphere allowed us to relax even though we have little ones!
I would go back!

This house was everything we wanted for this vacation. Plenty of room, close to the beach, quiet neighbors and pet-friendly.
The house was amazingly clean, bright and roomy. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked and there were plenty of towels and linens.
We had a couple questions before we booked, and then a couple right before our stay, and they were quick to respond. No trouble checking in or out.
We would definitely stay here again if we return to Dauphin Island.

The property was beautiful for my family of four (two teenagers), my parents, and one dog. Perfectly clean, fully equipped, loved the gate on deck for our dog. Closer to road but short walk to beach. We had a lovely stay.

The description of property said you could see the gulf from the deck… well, there was a very small area that was visible, but there were also six houses between the water and our house. Not exactly what I would consider ocean front property. Location is the number one reason why we chose the property we did, and this was very misleading. Second complaint was a cleaning fee assessed, but then we were expected to remove bedding, take trash out, start the dishwasher and start a load of towels prior to check out…. all with a 6 hour time frame from check out to check in time
For next guest, which I would think would be plenty of time to do the said tasks. I don’t go on vacation, and expect to do these tasks, especially when I’m charged a cleaning fee. Thirdly, the front bathroom stool was constantly “running”. We noticed this day one, so I would have expected the people cleaning to have experienced this as well. There was also a very pungent smell from the front bathroom. We just closed the door and shared the other shower in the house. Not sure what was causing the smell, but it was not pleasant.

We booked this house for 5 days after a stay in Destin, we had never been to Dauphin Island before. It has a small coastal town appeal, the trails at the Audubon bird sanctuary were cool, lots of people riding bikes in the area. Pirates pizza had the best pizza on the island, just be sure to check hours of operation for everything beforehand. Bring groceries with you if you plan to cook. The house was laid out very well, super clean, had everything you could need for your stay, the porch was my favorite place to sit with coffee every morning, it was so peaceful and you can watch the birds playing. And we would walk to the beach every afternoon and watch people fish from the beach and wait for the sunset. Perfect house if you want a small town beachy feel and need a break from your usual routine.

The place was extremely clean!! We always bring our own supplies (sheets, laundry soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc..) but the house was VERY well stocked!!! The kitchen had everything you need to cook a big meal. Lots of extra towels and linens if needed. The location was great and a super short walk to the beach! It was a great price and we were very pleased with the overall experience! We'll definitely try to book this place again next time. We loved it!!

Great property, close to the beach. House was fully stocked with towels and everything you need. Would stay here again. I recommend hitting a grocery store before coming to the island. Only a small store on the main road which has limited items. Not many restaurants either. Good place to unwind. The mattress in the master bedroom was very soft, which is my only complaint about this. The homeowners were very responsive.

Our family enjoyed this rental . Very clean with everything we needed. We like to cook and there was not one thing missing from the kitchen. The porch was a great gathering spot with plenty of seating. It was nice to have a gated porch for our dog. The beach was a short walk with perfect sunsets. We definitely are planning on a return visit as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this house.

This is our third stay at Beachside Blessings and we have consistently enjoyed our stays each time. The house is well stocked and always clean. Beds are comfy! Only complaint would be in the hall bathroom there needs to be a place to put your shampoo, conditioner, & soap rather than on the floor of the shower. In the bathroom with tub, there needs to be a hook or rod for you to place a towel and hand towel. Other than this, we continue to enjoy this home away from home!!

Loved it!
It was perfect! Lots of room, everything updated and real nice. The outside shower and hose was helpfully with not tracking in so much sand in the house. We were impressed with the place.

Nice place
Nice location, well worth the stay and will definitely be back. Clean. Plenty of towels and supplies. The only gripe is that the internet was a little slow at times, but I would be willing to bet that is the service for the whole island, and really who goes to the beach to watch Netflix anyway.

The house was exactly as described. It was nice and clean. Responses from agent were quick. The jacuzzi tub doesn’t work, that was the only negative part. Great place to stay with lots of room!

Such a great house to stay at with a short walk to the beach! It was super clean and I loved sitting on the porch in the morning drinking coffee while watching the birds in the ocean. The owners are super sweet and we will definitely be back again!
