On the canal with walking access to bay and gulf! Boat friendly! - Neutral Groun
About this house rental
A nicely furnished beach house on the canal, Neutral Ground (formerly Sea Spot) is a very attractive waterfront 3 bedroom home. This waterfront home is on a boat-canal, yet a short walk to the Gulf of Mexico beach, or also the Bay. It also enjoys a partial Bay view. The waterfront deck has seating at a table with Sunbrella for enjoying a scenic meal, and there are comfortable cushioned chairs and a sofa to further relax and enjoy the views. Underneath the house is additional space to enjoy the Island life, including shaded hammocks, a boat dock, and slip, kayaks are available to rent on the island, and an outdoor shower to rinse off and cool down after an Island excursion. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated, with all new furnishings and decorations, including area artwork that really adds to the Island decor. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms- a Master Bedroom with a King bed and an ensuite bath, a canal-view bedroom with a queen-size bed, and the third bedroom with a Duo-bunk (Full/twin) and another bunk bed (two twins).

Neutral Ground’s location is perfect! My family enjoyed fishing from the dock and it is a short easy walk to the beach. It does need a few updates (the back steps) but you can tell they are working on it. During our stay people from the rental property stopped by to check on some repairs they’re about to do.The beds we’re comfortable except the kids said the bunk beds were a little firm for their liking. The kitchen was well equipped. There was also beach toys, crab baskets, and kayaks to use. The air conditioning unit worked very well and kept us very comfortable. Overall, we would stay again based off the location of the property.

We had a great stay at this well-located property. It was within walking distance to two great beaches. Our grandson spent most of his time baiting and checking the crab trap in the channel. We enjoyed the beach toys, hammock, kayaks, and swing provided. Overall a good value!

We had a fantastic vacation!! Great house with plenty of room for all 6 of us! The location is perfect and we walked to the beach every day with our chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards waiting for us (from Chaise N Rays rentals). The sunsets are gorgeous on the bay side! Lots of beach toys and even a wagon available for guest use too! Btw, even a smart tv and DVD player are available so we had many movie nights and we played games on the large dining table. Overall, a fun fun time was had!

This house was exactly as described. Very clean. Lots of room. I loved that the kitchen utensils and cookware were usable, not messed up so you couldn’t use them. Caught some fish off the dock and some out in the bay. LOVED the hammocks!!! We would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

The property was nicely decorated and had everything that we needed and more. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was airy, and the living room was spacious. The car port, with all the outdoor furnishings, was great for the rainy days. And they had a couple of crab traps that came in handy! Overall, it was a very relaxing stay. We highly recommend this place!

We loved our stay! The house is situated perfectly for beach play and for fishing. We’ll appointed with anything you could need. In fact, we forgot our crockpot for one of our planned meals and there were 2 in the cabinets! Tons of towels and beach equipment made our trips to the beach effortless. The outdoor shower saved us tracking sand into the house. Would 100% stay again.

Nice comfortable beach house in a great location... Just a short walk to the beach where we launched our sailboats in the bay. The house is about mid island so you don't have to drive too far to get supplies in town and the crow's nest on the roof gave us some amazing views of the island...

Being on the Boat canal, with a great view of the bay. Less than a block away from either the Gulf or the Bay made it the perfect spot for my family. My wife and I started every early morning enjoying coffee with our feet in the bay. There are so many crabs, and hermit crabs, and small fish. it is so peaceful. Then later in the morning we packed up and walked to the Gulf till early afternoon. Then walk back to the house for lunch. The during the hottest part of the day we found other indoor things to do like the Estuarium or the Arcades on Orange Beach, just a short Ferry Ride away. Then Grill dinner on the grill under the house, whish is a great spot to hang out all night. After dinner a little fishing in the canal or walk back to the Gulf or the bay for a quick swim and Crab hunting. Crabs are all over the beach at night. Perfect spot, quiet peaceful and three distinct water fronts to choose from.

The house is older which is fine because it was updated some and very clean. But there were a couple issues. The dishwasher didn’t work properly. And even though the washer and dryer were newer the washer has mold in it. The stove was one of the worse stoves ever! Really need an update ! The kitchen is well stocked with ALOT and I mean ALOT of dishes and bowls and plates and there is no where to store any of the food or things you might bring for your stay. These are things that were an issue for us. Others may not be bothered by this. The house has been updated and the flooring is very nice and its a perfect location for fishing and the beach. It rained a lot while we were there and there is no cover to get in the house from either door so you will get soaked trying to get in. Check in was a breeze . Perfect location for fishing.

The property is a wonderful location that is a block from the beach. We liked how it was quiet but within easy driving from restaurants etc. The beaches were not overly crowded and loved that there was a wagon provided. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 children to have their own space. There were plenty of towels and cleaning supplies for messes. Also we used the outside shower plenty so everyone could get a quick shower in before dinner. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants to enjoy dauphin island for an awesome price.

Overall this place was a great place to kick back and relax. We enjoyed fishing in the canal, even caught some crabs. Outdoor shower was great.Short walk to the beach. Not too critical, but there are some issues that need your attention. My bed sheet had dark brown stains, dishwasher door was crusted with food on front panel. The rail on deck is loose, the grill would not get any hotter than 350 degrees. The oven has a roach between the windows.

Nice little place with fishing and 🦀 right behind the house, very short walk to the beach too.
Disappointed that the pictures featured the "crows nest" on top of the house but it's not accessible.

Labor Day weekend
Clean house. Great location. Short walk across the street to the beach. We brought our bikes and rode into town for adult beverages and we brought our boat. (Although you can’t use the boat lift)The kids fished off the dock at night. We even floated in the canal. The kitchen is fully stocked. The outdoor grills were in good shape. (We brought a propane tank). We’d stay again.

Quiet and Convenient
The house was great! This is an older property but was recently renovated/updated and was well done and very comfortable. The location is terrific - beach access at the end of the street only about 2-3 minute walk - and morning coffee overlooking the canal. View the gulf and the bay from the crow's nest - a great place to watch the sun set. We loved it!

Clean, nice jetty lot, Right across road from beach
Great stay. Very clean home, 2 min walk to beach across the street. Manager also dropped some parking passes upon our request so we could go to different beaches and park as some days the one across was crowded. Would book again if I came back to Daulphin Island. Its a sleepy island so if you are looking for quiet, this is your spot. If you want a bit more going on, Gulf Shores might be more up your alley.

Quiet retreat
We loved our stay here. We booked this property last minute and the property management was very responsive about all my questions. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood on the canal. We fished and took walks on the beach and by the Sound both are very close to the property (less than 3 minutes). We took a fishing charter with Chance Prayton with Shallow Intentions and caught 20 fish on our half day trip!
The property itself is very clean and we enjoyed all the different sitting areas. The neighbors were all quiet and very friendly. This property has a very relaxed and comfortable feel. It was a very tranquil trip and we will be back soon! Thank you.

Perfect Vacation
Wow ! This owner has done it ALL soooooo well. Very tastefully decorated and furnished. Comfy seating everywhere you naturally want it. All the creature comforts of home and all the gear you need. Even a wagon to pull little ones or gear to the beach. Lots of beach toys to use. The outdoor shower is AWESOME!!! Never even used the one in my bedroom. The MOST wonderful mattress we’ve experienced in years .... shopping for one just like it now ! Really an A+++ for this property. We’ll be thrilled to stay here again
