The views were amazing, accommodations were perfect, & loved walking on the beaches.

This is our second time staying here. They are in the process of building a boardwalk with a pier on the bay. Nice!

We loved Island Sunset! Perfect size for our 4 adults, 4 kids, and the teen. The toddler had a great time going from house to porch and it was safe for him to roam with latches on the screen doors. The views are spectacular and we loved the boardwalk out to the little beach. There were thunderstorms one night but the house was snug and cozy. This will be my first choice of rentals whenever we visit DI.

We stayed in later October '22 with two families and we had a blast. Island Sunset had everything we needed. The pictures actually did not show everything in the common area - there's an additional couch and chair not shown (providing more seating than we thought). There was also pull-out twin mattresses under the twin beds - this was necessary for the five kids in our group. The house was walking distance to the West End beach, which was the highlight of our trip. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough utensils, pans, etc. for our cooking. This house is definitely on our list when we come back to Dauphin Island. Several suggestions for those coming to the island: 1. Go on a dolphin excursion on The Duke through Dauphin Island Marina. Our kids enjoyed it. Dolphins are more prevalent in May-July as the fall months bring in jelly fish and making other fish less frequent. 2. If you like sea shells, go to the West End beach at low tide. Or, rent a boat (or walk) to get to the far end of West End about 9 miles past the West End Beach parking lot. 3. The Aquarium is small but fun. The volunteers there provide added value with live displays of aquatic life and other items. There's a touch tank of sting rays (our trip also had horseshoe crabs and a baby shark too). 4. The Little Red School House is worth a quick trip, it has artifacts and pictures of the island to give you its quick history. 5. Fort Gaines, Indian Shell Mound Park, Cadillac Square, and Audubon Bird Sanctuary are good trips - but we prefer others listed above (bring bug spray!).

This home is perfectly located with a beautiful bay beach behind it and easy waking access to the public beach. Outside deck was great for dinners. Would definitely stay here again. Only complaint about the island is the restaurants are terrible, not worth your time or money. We cooked our own seafood from skinners most of the nights. Pizza at pirates was good for a quick meal.

Clean, close to the beach with beautiful views.

We all had a great time together, spent alot of time on the back deck, and of coarse the beach. We are all definitely looking forward to next year for another family vacation, thank you for your hospitality.

Loved the house. Great screened in porch. We carried on the tradition....by completing and leaving a puzzle!

Very clean, spacious and decorated perfectly. There was everything I needed there. The furniture was comfortable. Did not need anything, the beach was a nice private getaway!! Good family time

Nice Beach House

Our family of four (both kids college-aged) stayed here Christmas 2021. The house was amazing. Decorations were awesome, furniture very comfortable, clean, well stocked with kitchen cookware, and check in was easy. We received a code to the door the morning of arrival. The house has the bay side out the back door and the Gulf is across the street from the front door. The house is three houses from the end of the street, so the family would walk down the undeveloped beach area. Our son went about four miles down the beach one morning Huge screened-in porch to keep the bugs at bay is also a huge plus, and TVs that don’t require an IT degree was awesome. Lately it seems we land in houses with multiple remote controls. This was one basic remote with an on and off button, perfect! And the town was very low key. I recommend getting groceries on the mainland, especially spirits if you like mixers. What I normally pay $42 in Texas for a bottle was $70 on the island. $25 bottle of vodka in Texas was $50 on Dauphin. The house was absolutely perfect. The ferry ride, Fort Gaines, Lighthouse Bakery, all must-do’s. My only complaint would be with the management company who appears to be trying to save nickels and dimes. Although the house was clean beyond belief, we arrived, family of four for one week, to find four rolls of toilet paper, one roll of Scott towels, two trash bags, no Kleenex in the bathroom, three dish-washer pods in a ziploc on the counter, and no salt or sugar. Huge container of pepper, but no salt (although the owners do have a specialty spice rack that they obviously keep stocked). I understand not having an overloaded cabinet, but 15+ years of VRBO, we have always had salt and sugar and enough detergent to do dishes daily, especially a family of four. And two kitchen trash bags for a week when the house sleeps ten…crazy. For the price paid, it should have these essential items supplied. So plan to buy even the most basic of items prior to your arrival or pay a premium on the island. This isn’t a reflection on the owner or house, simply the management company. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and simply pack toilet paper, trash bags, salt, etc. Thanks for an amazing week on Dauphin Island. This is a great property.

I was impressed with the Vacasa process. The renting, the payment, the communication were good. The texts and emails leading up to the trip were good along with Check-In instructions and process as well as locating the property.

The house and location is great for relaxing. The screened porch was great for relaxing in the evening or the times it rained. The house was perfect for the kids. This place is a fisherman's paradise the sound behind the house has a not so great smell but it was less wavy so the kids could play, lots of hermit crabs to play with and seashells to pick up, a boy caught a black tip shark there and there was a fisherman with his boat that showed up every morning. We like the house and if a,relaxing stay is what you want this is probably the place for you.

My kids and I loved this home!! It was perfectly located from the beach and the access to the ‘other’ bay side beach was perfect for night time crab hunting. We loved the quiet area and beautiful views. The house was so clean and well stocked. We can’t wait to come back.

It was excellent and exactly what our family needed! Perfect distance from the beach. Loved the sounds of the waves across the road. Clean and very wel decorated. All kitchen supplies are there. No seasonings in cabinet except salt and pepper.

The house and location are wonderful. We had a great time even on a rainy day thanks to the screened porch. We also had a little fox visit us in the evening! Overall a perfect place to stay for a few days on the island.

We loved this beach house! Clean and well appointed. The screened in porch was our favorite thing about this place! Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short due to the tropical storm.

This beach house was absolutely awesome! It had everything my family needed to enjoy our stay! The bay for our fishermen and the gulf for our swimmers! It was quite and private just what our family needed! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Only complaint is the bunk bed mattresses are pretty thin and uncomfortable for teenagers/bigger kids. We will definitely be back. House was very clean , well stocked kitchen.
