Break from the cold

We absolutely loved this place. We were lucky enough to get free early check in because we were traveling only 100 miles for the day. This place had french doors off bedrooms and dining with huge windows throughout. I loved the colors and decor. Loved the walkin shower. It is a bit aged but clean. The view to the ocean kept us on the deck a lot. Gorgeous.

Great location

For the money, great house, wonderful location. Two items with easy fixes would improve the appeal. One, clean and paint the black spot on the ceiling. Very unsightly. Two, I would not stay here again without this correct. Simply put black out curtains in the queen bedroom to buffer the light streaming in from the neighbor’s 24/7 floodlights being left on and the outside security light. I cannot sleep with the light on and that’s the way it feels! An easy fix to just add the blackout or light filtering curtains.

Trip to dolphin Island with our dog Thor he’s a black lab

Glad we got there when we did cause they had a lifetime event with the snow, but we love taking our dog for a walk on the beach. We loved getting fresh seafood at steamers. We were off-season. We enjoyed every sunset. We got a torrential rain so we got to experience why they stilts. We had fun we liked it.

Fabulous views

We stayed for a weeked. The view to the bay is unobstructed. The beach is just a shot walk down a path. The area was quiet and the home was clean. Bring spices if you plan to cook. All appliances were in working order.

Great views!

We really enjoyed the stay and everything was comfortable. Any minor inconvenience that happened upon us was quickly overshadowed by the amazing location and view from the back porch. All in all we would stay here again and enjoy it all the same!

This is a nice house in a GREAT location. We had plenty of amenities for our 7 day stay. We enjoyed the private beach and lots of walks with our dog. We had good food at Captain Snappers, Island Restaurant and the carriage. We will book here again.

Nice little beach house at end of street

Was reasonable priced compared to other properties near by. It was very quiet day and night and the back deck was great for watching boats and stargazing at night. There were a few issues we didn’t bother contacting management with but overall we loved it and our stay and plan to return.

Great vacation with dogs

The house is nice though some features are a bit dated. The views are great. You get a good view to the west as there is no only another house on that side. Great sunset view from the dining room. The windows and doors have low windows which the pups loved to look out. Cleaning crew had done a great job. There were minor maintenance issues which we told management about on checkout.

Dauphin Island Anniversary Trip

My husband and I had a wonderful stay on our first trip to Dauphin Island. We loved our rental house on the West End. Our back porch was on the bay side and we had great sunset views and of the dolphins swimming from our back porch. From the small front porch we could see the Gulf side between the houses and could hear the waves. This house was in a great location and we would stay here again!

Sunset Beach

Views of the bridge are great and the sunsets are stunning. We stayed here for two weeks last year and liked it so much that we booked it for four weeks this year and have already reserved it for four weeks next year. Lots of fresh, local, oysters at local restaurants and Skinners fish market is a great place to get locally caught fish to prepare at home. Location is great and you have views of both the bay and the Gulf.

Nice home & view

This home was as described. Clean and in a good location. We had a nice stay. As some others have mentioned, the house definitely shakes. We are not large people, and it was a noticeable and significant shake/sway when one of us walked through the home which was a bit unnerving.

Love the privacy this home offers. The beach access is amazing, sunsets from the deck are picture perfect, and being able to bring our two dogs…priceless.

Beautiful Sunsets

The house was clean with a great floor plan. The location and views were awesome. The provided parking pass gives access to various parking lots on the Gulf side. Bought and cooked lots of fresh seafood from Skinners down the road. Liked it so much, we have already booked another two weeks for next year. A great place for a relaxing vacation!

Missing chances

I have rented this house a couple times and have always enjoyed the location. This time around, there where some things that are making me rethink renting it again in the future.

Peaceful

Nice little house in a great location. Being on the Mississippi Sound was peaceful, like a cottage on a lake. Although the house needed some updates, it was fine for us. But it would of been nice to have a vacuum cleaner and a better grill. We bought a vacuum while we were there, and just used the grill as it was.

The location and beach was great. Both baths were great. However, the condition of the front and back decks was not safe. In fact, one of our party chair leg went through the back deck and through him out of the chair and on to the deck. The sofa bed had baseball size knots in the mattress. The kitchen had only one fry pan. Nothing to boil shrimp in. The floor had soft places in it. The staff I interacted with was very nice and came to the house the day of our complaint. They did repair the hole in the deck. But there should be work done before it is rented again.

Nice small house, good location, needs attention

Have stayed in this house several years but won’t again. Every year more things are a bit worse. Sewer smell in master bathroom for second year. Dishwasher didn’t work. Reported both items and no one came all week. Bedding needs replacing and stove doesn’t work well. Now you have to check at 3, strip beds and start laundry for them and take out all trash. I don’t mind trash but not my job on vacation to wash sheets for next guest at the price you pay to stay there.

Was comfortable, just needs some repairs and attention to detail.

Tub in MB is not usable, no knobs. Bug infestation. Needs a deep clean, outside doors are filthy. One towel was hung in MB, no sheets were left for sofa bed. Really needs updating.
