The good: The view of the bay area from the house is gorgeous. We made great memories walking out to the beach area, at the beach and on the pier. The pier was good to fish from and to catch crabs at with the provided crab traps. The location of the house was great - being at the west end was nice for us. The kitchen was big enough for us to all work around one another while cooking and preparing food. The ice maker was a happy bonus! The island was welcoming.The Not so Good: The problem we had was with cleanliness, which was very disappointing. The grill and green egg were disgustingly dirty and had to be scrubbed and scoured in order for us to use them. The comforter in the master bedroom had dog hair all over it, as did the clothes washer and dryer. We were unsuccessful in getting the dog hair out of the washer - it seemed to return upon each attempt at washing our towels. There was dog hair on the table runner. There were crumbs, dirt, crayons and miscellaneous items (including more dog hair) under the beds, in dresser drawers and under counters. I did let the owners know about these things. We didn't have working internet until our 6th day and the tv in the main room had to have a replacement brought in on our 4th day. The cloth furniture smelled like animals. I think it's wonderful to be able to bring your pets, but I am not a fan of sitting in animal hair or having it on my dinner table. For the amount of money we paid for the week, I expected a clean home to stay in.

This home is truly your home away from home! The owners are so nice and answered my many questions 😊 the property is so well maintained and perfect for any size family, friends or even a girls/guys getaway! The kitchen was well stocked with any appliance you would need and even some appliances you didn’t know you needed! The home decor is so pretty and the view is absolutely breathtaking! We loved nothing more than watching the sunrise from the lookout tower and watching the sunset from the beautiful deck (if we weren’t at the bay or private fishing pier 😊). Our puppy felt so at home with the dog bed and dog bowls and the gate on the deck allowed him to sit on the deck and no worries that he would go off exploring. Best house we’ve stayed at on Dauphin Island and other beach vacations! We truly enjoyed every single second of this trip and appreciated Kelli and Ash sharing their home with us! We will definitely be back!

This property is beautiful. The views of the bay and the sunsets from the deck and large windows of the living area of the house are stunning. If you really want to see, the crow's nest gives amazing 360 degree views. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything. The wavy gulf side of the island is just across the road, a short 5 minute walk. The house's fishing pier was nice to have, although we didn't have much luck beyond a stingray and a catfish there. We did catch redfish, and white and speckled trout on outings away from the home. The children loved splashing in the shallow water by the pier and it felt safer than the gulf side/easier to watch them. We found the house comfortable and spacious with many amenities. Showers were nice with good water pressure, beds and bedding were comfortable. The kitchen has the basics needed for cooking. The host promptly responded to all questions. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend!

Everything was as stated. Thanks for a great place to stay in a beautiful location.

We were very pleased with our second year of staying at this property as a family! Perfect location steps from the beach is great with little kids needing all the back and forth. The house is setup for family time each evening but allowed space in the mornings for those that wanted to take it slow.
