Beautiful home with a great view of the ocean! We loved the location, the hot tub and the slider door in the living room. A few things to be aware of is there is very minimal amount of supplies and the spot with the rotting floor is dangerous. We had to move furniture over the area so no one would step on it.

I would not recommend the house be let again until owners do some maintenance. Walkin shower door leaks and has black mold starting. Flooring in dinning area very weak, dips and sinks as you walk over it heading in to access to west side bedrooms. Flooring in other areas mushy. Whole house sways in high wind.

The layout of this house is great for two families of four. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Amazing deck and hot tub. Very close to the west beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this home!! It had beautiful views, a wonderful hot tub, and it was so nice to hand access to both the bay side (private beach area) and the gulf side. The only negative thing was the cleanliness of the kitchen area, pots, pans, and utensils. Everything else was perfect.

This house is the perfect small town beach “country” location. We love that is quiet, not on top of others, and you have your own beach and hot tub. The hot tub is great for kids who don’t sit still and want to keep swimming while you want to relax out of the sun and read a book or cook dinner. It’s not in the pictures but its a great size. The house had everything you need to make it through the week- including pots, pans, oven dishes, a crockpot, salt and pepper, measuring cups, and coffee maker (no toaster). They had tupperware for leftovers too. Stopping on our way down for groceries at a walmart for a grocery pick up worked well now for the second time. There were 4 beach towels there, pods for doing laundry, and tablets for the dish washer. This was also very nice since the humidity didn’t allow anything to dry, but we could stick it in the dryer. There were some sand toys and one beach chair that complemented what we brought. The vacasa maintenance guy was very nice and pulled in as we did. The master king bed is very stiff but who wants to lay in bed longer than they have to when they get to make coffee and soak up the beach views. We enjoyed walks in on the gulf side and relaxing on the sounds side. We brought the kids scooters and didn’t even use them as all they wanted to do was jump the waves on our walks instead. This was our second trip down, different house and liked this one better. We will be back!

The location was truly perfect, had views from the front of the house and the back. We were able to relax so much! The hot tub was spectacular. I had thought this had mainly gulf views, which it does and it’s across the street and there are other homes but you can still hear the waves crashing and see them. The back view of the bay was beautiful.
The home itself had normal wear and tear, but there were cleanliness. With dishes/utensils, I had to wash most things before using them. The master bed was extremely uncomfortable for my personal preference; also, I went to use the coffee pot and the inside where the water reservoir is, was filled with dirt and had floaters in the water, and the machine itself where coffee pours from was covered in coffee stains. I went to grab a blanket off another bed to sit outside and it had stains on it.
Besides those inconveniences, we truly enjoyed our stay. The island is slow and most things at night close by 8, so I would plan on cooking at the home! There are not a ton of food options, but what we did have was good!
Minus the cleanliness, We would stay at the home itself again! Location was close to the public beach. They also had a book of resources of where to eat and things to do, that was awesome!

Wonderful house with lots of amenities and a fabulous hot tub!! Plenty of room for our family of 7. Kitchen was well stocked and we had plenty of towels including beach towels for the hot tub

Beautiful House. Great location. Deck hot tub amazing. Plenty of seating on the deck to over look the beach. Access to 2 beaches was really nice (direct access to the bay side beach and then walk across the street to access the gulf side beach). Multiple spots in the floor were soft and possible trip hazards.

Great overall experience! There was a place in the middle of the house floor that we were sure someone was going to fall through, but we didn’t 😊. House decor was great! Location was wonderful! New hot tub on the back deck was a bonus surprise. Wonderful bay and gulf views and access.

We stayed here with 8 adults & 2 babies- it was such a great spot for us! We loved how it’s directly across the street from the beach so it was great for coming and going from the house to the beach. It had plenty of dishes and cookware, which was great for us since we cooked many meals here! We were appreciative of touches for small children- like books, spoons, a high chair & a few toys. We loved hanging out on the back patio- seriously so relaxing! The house is towards the end of the island, which we really liked because it felt more private & less crowded. Many times we were the only family on the beach across from us.
The only concern we had was that when we went it seemed there were some repairs needing to be done. The floor was sagging quite a bit in a few areas of the house- but I’m sure the owners are aware & hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Overall, we really loved our time at Sandpiper Shores!

The place was nice but were some things I would of liked or was miss informed about. They showed 2 bikes, assuming would come with the rental, but they were not there and besides some beach towels they didn't have outside/beach things. Then there was a hot tub but it was empty so we called to ask if we could fill it and they said no, we were not allowed to use it. Dish washer didn't work, and there was a lot of soft spots in the floor that was very worrisome.

My family enjoyed out time at this property. Access from the property to the bay was convenient to launch kayaks. The views of the ocean and bay are perfect. You can catch sunrise and sunset from the porches.
Be aware that as of 10/8/21 there is still ongoing clean up from the hurricane. There were 10ft tall sand piles along the road with an opening for this property. We parked on fairly soft sand in front of the property. 4WD was helpful for us.
We contacted the property manager by email to confirm that there were beach chairs available in the house. They said that there were chairs so we didn't bring our own. When we got there, there were no chairs. We got in touch with the property manager again. They returned our call on the last day we were there to apologize and suggest that the chairs were lost in the hurricane. Not a huge deal...but slightly irritating after we specifically called to confirm.
Overall this is a great spot. Very convenient to the West End Public Beach which was nearly empty when were were there. The gulfside beach access for this property is several streets to the east and NOT directly across the street.

We will definitely be returning for another stay at this property! It was perfect, stocked well, clean and beautifully decorated. The views were amazing from the front and back decks, location was perfect. The gulf was just a quick walk across the road. Loved every minute, we had the best time. Thank you so much for sharing your property with others.

Great house! Not on gulf front but just short walk across the road to beach. Loved doors that open up to expand living space to back porch. Great views! No neighbors really close so lots of privacy. Only two recommendations. Shower door needs adjusting so it will open and close freely and need to provide dish cloths and dish towels for kitchen. Still give it a 10!

This house was perfect for our extended family vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked, the views are amazing and you couldn't ask for a better location short walk across the street to the gulf or out the back porch to the bay. We would definitely rent this house again!!

We had such a great time at this beautiful home! The house was bright and clean, and perfectly accommodated our group of 9. It was a one minute walk to cross the street and enjoy the beach. The only complaint would be that it needs a vacuum that will pick up sand a bit better, but that would hardly deter us from staying here again.

Beautiful home on the beach!
Looking forward to booking this again. Absolutely beautiful. We spent most of our time in the back yard. Small waves and tons of sea shells for the kids to find. And us too! The gulf across the street had very rough waves due to a storm but the kids liked getting hit by the waves. Look forward to next year. Trip ended to soon and had bad storms the last day. House was very clean.

The inside of the house was nicer than expected. The kitchen and some other areas have been updated. The house was pretty clean and smelled really nice. The location was great! There were plenty of linens and extra pillows for everyone but no beach towels to speak of. A couple things for improvement: the metal outdoor furniture was literally falling apart. The entire back of a chair fell out so there were metal shavings all over the deck. There were only two trash bags in the house. The outdoor shower didn’t work. There were no spices or basics but there was plenty of dishes/cookware. We also had to go buy more toilet paper. There were no rugs in the doorways to help capture sand. Overall- we were pleased with our stay.

We had good time staying in this property. The house was clean as in the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned good but the floors are very sandy. We had to clean it right away. Overall its a good property and better than the pictures actually.

We enjoyed our stay on Dauphin Island. The interior of the house has been nicely updated and is very comfortable and cozy. I loved that it was a short walk to the West beach where the sunsets were amazing. The only negatives were that there was apparently some remodeling on the exterior and we found lots of nails in the sand where we were supposed to park. Also the dining table on the deck is rusted through and should be replaced.

This beautiful home far exceeded my expectations! There was a beautiful view from every angle. It was a blessing to have an ocean view from the front and the serene beauty of the sound out back. I can not wait to come back. The house is beautiful, the beds comfortable, and there are plenty of linens to go around. The kitchen is very well stocked and makes meal preparation a breeze. Sandpiper Shores has stolen my heart and quickly became our home away from home.
