We had 3 almost 3 year-olds and an almost 5 year old. This is the perfect property for small ones. Lots of books, riding toys and chairs for them. The walk to the pool and beach is short and having wagons to carry the provided chairs, toys and towels was fantastic.

My family travels to DI twice a year. This was our first time staying in Desoto Landing. The house was easy to find and check-in was a breeze. We had a few minor issues, but the host was responsive to messages and apologetic. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. I was comfortable with even the younger kids walking the beach, neighborhood, etc. The community areas were clean and easily accessible. The pool was never crowded, even during spring break. My only complaint is the bathroom situation. If you have 9+ people in the house, this will be an issue. There is only one bathroom that is not en suite so you could potentially have 6 or more people sharing that. And it is very small. Also anyone that sleeps upstairs (that is not in the master) has to come downstairs to use the restroom at night. Keep this in mind with children and those with limited mobility. Seating in the living room is limited to a couch, loveseat, and children’s seating. We brought chairs from the master bedroom to accommodate our group. Pretty much everything that you need in the kitchen is provided. There is a gas grill under the house as well. We cooked nearly all of our meals there. Be aware…There are a lot of rules. The welcome packet was more involved than any other place that I have ever stayed, but we had no issues complying with expectations. I was overall quite happy with the house and would definitely consider booking this place again.

Spacious home for large family gatherings. Wrap around porches on both levels provide relaxed seating options. Owner provides plenty of indoor games/movies/reading material as well as outdoor beach gear, children’s toys, and tennis equipment. Dauphin Island provides a more laid-back, quiet, and less crowded beach experience than more popular beaches nearby. Community pool and tennis court nice options.

The Porches was an ideal location for our family beach vacation. The house is convenient to everything offered on Dauphin Island. Desoto Landing offers a pool and tennis court for the children when they tire of the beach. The house is well equipped with kitchen appliances and beach equipment. This is a repeat stay at the property. We have never been disappointed.

Better than expected

For 11 of last 15 years we’ve stayed directly on the west end beach. So here you cannot listen to the waves or walk out the back door onto the beach, BUT we were pleasantly surprised. The house is in wonderful condition, Beth is quick to respond to inquiries or needs, and the a/c held up well in this heat. The beach is a leisurely 5 minute walk. The swimming pool is nice and a good alternative/ addition. Not a lot of cabinet space for your groceries, but you’ll adjust. Plenty of beach chairs, kid toys, and a couple of wagons to use. Plenty of towels and linens as well. No, we weren’t directly on the beach, but we weren’t dragging sand with us inside either. Several porches for which you’ll find different purposes like rocking or swinging or reading. Overall, a fun time in a good community. Thank you Beth!
