The home was clean and nice. However, it needs some TLC: paint, mold repair around vents, a clean furnace filter. Also, the fully stocked kitchen had no tea spoons, the toaster only half worked. The back door has a huge gap in it- It did blow open very easily with strong wind. The master bathroom door is too low and scrapping the floor and the washer is a little tricky to use ( youtube helped us get it working) ( push start twice) . Also in the upstairs bedroom the overly to the mattress is too big. Suggest getting a new bed in a box for safety. I almost fell off the bed a few times because the overly hangs over. We found trash left behind by the cleaning crew or previous renters. Several of the outdoor chairs were broken and not useable, luckily we brought our own camping chairs. However these were truly minor things, mainly reporting them so they may be addressed. April, was very responsive when we reported issue with the washer, and the trash. She was immediately responsive professional, courteous. Either cleaning staff or previous renter had removed parts of the Roku systems and batteries and April immediately addressed the issue. The appliances worked. The location was perfect, on the quiet sound and close to the beach. Dauphin Island was a friendly, peaceful place to be. Could use more dining options for families such a sit down breakfast place and casual affordable dining that is not fast food. The Bird Sanctuary was wonderful as was Ft Gains and the Estuarium.

This property was highly enjoyed by my family. Beach access is 10 min lazy walk... We were on the beach or the bay daily. Peaceful quiet beaches, without added stress of making sure your children are in not lost in a crowd. We love the island and the sunsets are breathtaking! This property was very comfortable for my family of 7. My daughter loved the upstairs room and spiral staircase! Property provided everything our family needed to prepare meals... We had a great vacation. Only hiccup was an issue with AC, and management took care of it quickly! Very satisfied with this experience!

The location was nice and quiet. The house was very nice the only issue was there was an infestation of ants. They were in the kitchen coming in through the windows in bedrooms and living room. Really wish the house would have had a dock in the back and a water hose in the back to spray off with. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Dauphin Island.

We enjoyed our stay very much. This house is right on the bay and only a block or so from the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and pet friendly. Things needed: Porch lights were out and the light box under the front deck is rusted/broken/exposed Sink light and over the stove light out Toaster only works on one side Pleasant trip

First visit to Dauphin Island. Loved the location on the Bay and close proximity to the Gulf. The property was spacious and as described in the listing. There were plenty of linens and kitchen items were okay. We brought specialty kitchen items from home, like the Keurig, knives, pizza cutter, etc. The only negative for the property was the kitchen faucet which showered you every time it was turned on. There were also issues with the appliances--the dishwasher is not bolted in and you have to be very careful when opening the door. The freezer takes all your body weight to close. And, the dryer door continually pops open and makes drying a load of clothes a very long process. We adapted to these issues, but they are such avoidable issues for the property owner as they could be repaired easily. Loved that we could bring our dog to this property. He loved the Bay and chasing ghost crabs. Fun times. Hope to be back soon.

We were very excited to visit Dauphin Island. We left early and are very disappointed with the beach house rental. The towels smelled like mildew, the stove oven had what looked like burn marks on the outside and there was a dark stain seeping out from underneath the stove onto the kitchen floor. The refrigerator freezer drawer was broken and very difficult to open and close. The ice maker did not work for us. We bought bags of ice. The dishwasher door was broken and fell to the floor when opened. The bottom plate of the dishwasher fell off every time the door was opened. The toaster was broken. The microwave had grease caked on the outside. There was what appeared to be a leak under the kitchen sink because everything was wet and smelled bad under the sink. We had to scrub the kitchen, including the kitchen garbage can which had old rotten food caked on the inside. There are several broken or cracked floor tiles. The outside grill was dirty. We did not use that, so we cannot attest if it works or not. The Master bedroom bed was like sleeping on a cot and very noisy. The window blinds in the bedrooms and bathrooms were about 4" too short, which is a problem for privacy. There is a large crack in one of the bedroom windows, which looks old and rusty. We ended up sleeping separately on the twin beds. We were willing to overlook all of these items even though we paid a large sum of money for one week to stay here. I feel at that price we deserve for things to be in good condition. However, Saturday we had new neighbors move in. They liked to listen to very loud music and talk/yell very loud and party late into the night. They actually had the police called on them Saturday night. It was all too much, and everything together took away from what we came here to experience. We emailed the rental company Sunday night letting them know we were leaving Monday morning. We did not hear back from them. My husband called them Wednesday, the day we were actually supposed to check out and spoke to one of the employees. She was very polite and asked my husband to email a complete list of everything that is wrong with the property. She assured us they would respond to our second email. They did reply with a partial credit. I'm not sure how they calculated the amount because there was no explanation with the email. I hope they will correct these items for the next family renting this property. This is unacceptable and very upsetting.
