Beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. We had issues with cleanliness and our cleaning fee was refunded. The owner said there had been problems with her cleaning crew in the past. Also, we thought we could walk to the end of the street to access the beach, not so. We had to walk across the yard of the home across the street. The walk was longer. The sand was so hot we had to wear shoes on the way back. The owner was very attentive and responsive. We did appreciate this!

Property was great. Not enough detail given in the listing about items provided - coffee maker, grill etc. Distance to the beach was difficult but the beach was great when you got there. Instructions for departure need to be consolidated and consistent in all communications. Printed copy in house (older) did not agree with the text/email info sent.

First week of three in this well maintained house. Nicely decorated with comfy beds. The kitchen is well stocked. More than enough to cook or not. Nice deck with plenty seating. Little bit of a walk to beach, but not bad.

If you love natural beauty - this is the place for you! This is our first stay on the island, and we loved it!!! The walk to the beach is a little more than a minute, but we also enjoyed the public beaches on the island. In the late afternoon or early morning, you can access them without paying the $10.00 fee. We especially loved the
East End beach for the sunrise and birds, and the West End each for the sunset. Somewhere in the Sun is the perfect location to access everything on the island. It is very comfortable with cute décor. We really enjoyed hanging out at this great beach house. Make sure you make plans to bring groceries with you - that is the only challenge you will have on the beautiful D.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was fabulous. Having meals on the deck was so great. It was surprising that we had to walk to the next block for beach access, but it was fine.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this beach house. It was clean, had plenty of accommodations, the kitchen was well stocked, so nice that the owner has beach essentials (chairs, umbrellas, cart, toys,etc) for the renter to use. Cutest decor, appliances and style are top notch. It was very spacious, rooms were big, beds comfy, tv in every room, and we loved the huge porch and downstairs area. It was so nice to have dinner on the back porch after a day at the beach. The owner did a wonderful job of having plenty of seating outside for a big family to enjoy. We enjoyed the big yard and swing downstairs as well. The walk to the beach is a hard trek, especially with little ones but we made it work. The beach was beautiful and quiet, lots of space for us to enjoy, not crowded, it was perfect! We had a wonderful, short stay and will definitely be coming back again. The owner was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any of my questions, which I very much appreciate!

Communication was excellent. House wasn’t cleaned well, but addressed by Host. Wifi didn’t work most of the week, but Host addressed it with Xfinity right away. Walk to the beach is less than desirable. Plenty of towels. Starter amounts of soaps & paper products. Comfortable furniture, minus the beds.
Overall a nice property & satisfactory location. Very pleased with Host & that outweighs the majority of the downfalls.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beach house and it was exactly what we were looking for. There was an issue with check-in but it was resolved within 30 minutes so it wasn't a big deal. The internet/ wifi was out for most of our trip but we weren't too concerned with it as we spent most of our time at the beach. We can't wait to come back to Dauphin Island and stay here again. Thanks for helping making our trip wonderful.

The house is beautiful and is decorated with a beach theme throughout. The kitchen was well stocked, and we had access to beach chairs, umbrella, etc, which was nice. The house is in a great location and it was a short walk to the beautiful beach. Because of the rain/standing water, we did have to deal with a lot of mosquitoes on our walks to and from the beach. So I recommend bringing bug spray for sure. I loved the outdoor seating on the porch and under the house. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful Week
We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful week! Loved the extras available like the coolers, beach cart, and beach toys! The house was very clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The outside shower was extra nice after a long day at the beach! We spent most mornings on the porch in the lounge chairs while the kids played on the swing downstairs. We would love to visit again!

Wonderful!
This was our second year at this property and it was even better than last year. The owner had updated the paint and furniture.
It is still in a wonderful, quiet location with very convenient access to the beach. The kids enjoyed the board games. The full kitchen made it easy to prepare meals.
We highly recommend and will be looking to return.

This house was beautiful! We loved the house inside and out. It was clean, well decorated and stocked with essentials and the porch and patio were awesome. Owner was quick to respond. The walk to the beach was just a little challenging for all my little ones. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a home away from home at the beach.

We were there with two young children and my husband’s parents. Plenty of room for the six of us. Loved the barstools and kitchen table and comfy couches. The big egg bbq was great and we used it many nights. The cleaners didn’t do a great job and we left it cleaner than we received the house. We contacted the owners about that and a couple things that needed fixing and they were prompt in responding… even sent a repair person to fix lights immediately the next day (it was nothing major and we were just letting them know about it). The house is in walking distance from the beach (which is a big deal, as there is limited public beach access on the island). The beach was quiet and clean. Kids loved the porch swing and we loved dining outside on the patio set. Would stay again. Thanks for a great vacation.

The property is near everywhere on you need to go on the island. What we loved was the laid back non-commercial area. It’s homes and not high rises or condos. The rental was clean spacious and just a short walk to the beach. Which by the way was the perfect beach for a game of Bocce!

This house is in a great location on the island, my kids can walk to the beach which surprisingly has the dreamy white sand. It’s perfect size for my family especially with a baby. The house is clean and fully stocked with all the essentials. The communication was great.

The house is cute, convenient, mostly very comfortable. We found all we needed in the kitchen (although the previous renters seem to have been a bit careless about getting some of the dishes really clean). It's in a great location: very close to the downtown area, but far enough out to have plenty of space around it, and plenty of interesting views.The wifi was better than we expected from the owners description. The beach was very easy to get to. One issue: the beds in the two rooms other than the master bedroom were a bit aged - don't give them to anyone with back trouble - but by & large, the house was a great deal & I would not hesitate to go there again.

This house is great! We were only there for 4 days but would’ve loved to stay longer!! House is nice and there are lots of places outside to lounge around including a swing. The beach was just a short walk away. There was even a shower outside to wash off the sand from the day. We definitely recommend!!
