Dauphin Island

Very nice house, amazing location! Sabine was very helpfull. She checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. House was very well stocked with things you might forget trying to get down there(laundry detergent, tooth brushes, kitchen supplies) small things you always forget. Beautiful view in the back on top of the dune, beaches were close by as well and the ferry to Fort Morgan was just down the street. One of the best places we've stayed at in the gulf a nice quiet getway. I would definitely recommend checking this house out. Sabine thankyou so much for allowing us to stay here.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful with lots of extra touches. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. My only negative was that the location of the house. It was listed as Oceanside and technically it was, but you couldn’t easily get to the ocean from the house. Pirates Cove was the perfect place for the Littles to swim, very well protected from the waves. There were some issues with change in management in Pirates Cove and the neighborhood HOA. They started charging us $10 per adult to access the beach and to use the pool. We chose to use the parking passes and went to some of the private beach locations on the West end.

A Wonderful Retreat!

We spent a lovely week on Dauphin Island to rest and relax. The house is wonderful, with a great kitchen and very comfortable beds. There are welcoming touches throughout. We loved the two screened porches and path out back to watch the sunset over the dunes. Sabine is a great, responsive host. We look forward to another visit!

Amazing Island Home!

We had the most amazing vacation at this stunning home! We picked this house as we wanted to be near the trails and the beach- but we also wanted privacy. We are a party of 8 – and this house was quite spacious and easily accommodated all of us. The photos cannot fully convey how spacious this gorgeous house is. Sabine has thought of everything. She sent us a bunch of information about the island before we arrived- helpful tips on the area etc and we were arrived to find a lovey welcome basket! The house is fully stocked and everything is top of the line. The beds are amazing. Usually I am eager to get back to my own bed- but not so here- the beds were super comfortable. Everyone in our party slept very well! We were there for spring migration and the house is so centrally located that we could pop in and out all day long and easily get right back to the nature trails. At the end of the day we could come home and grill and sit in the backyard and watch the wildlife right in the backyard. The view from the top of the dune in the back yard is stunning! Not everyone in our party is into birding- but they all still had so much to do on the island and we could all easily meet up for lunch mid-day. We rented golf carts and it was such a fun way to travel around the island! We loved everything about this house and Dauphin Island. It was truly a perfect vacation!

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

This was our first visit to Dauphin Island. We selected this property on Vrbo for the beautiful private setting. The house is even more beautiful than in the photos. When we arrived and walked in the door, the first word out of my mouth was "Amazing". The house is beautifully decorated with stunning art throughout the home. Every room was crystal clean. The beds in each of the 4 bedrooms were extremely comfortable. The kitchen had all of the dishware and cookware needed to prepare meals. There was a television in the living room along with a shelf full of games and books. The back screened in porches were wonderful for relaxing on with lounge chairs and padded chairs. The back yard was private and had a covered area for grilling. Our favorite surprise was the path behind the house that brought you up to the top of the dunes. There were two wooden rocking chairs at the top with spectacular views over the dunes to the Gulf. We definitely will plan a future visit to Dauphin Island and stay at this beautiful home again!

Great Family Vacation!

This property was perfect for a family getaway. If you are looking for a place with plenty of gathering space as well as plenty to sleep, this is it. I know sometimes you get a place to “sleep 6-8” and there isn’t much room to gather, but this home had plenty of room for everyone. The home is exactly how it looks online. The outdoor shower was a huge bonus for us! I can’t imagine how much sand finds its way inside without it. While it’s not right on the beach, it’s a short walk/drive from the house. We much preferred pelican cove with a 2 year old. He loved the much calmer water to play in! I would say the most reassuring part is that the owner was tremendous with communication and organization for the guests. This was our first time to Dauphin Island and we will certainly be back!

Gorgeous home

Our host was very helpful. Our check in was easy. The house had all the amenities anyone could have wanted. It was fully stocked with nice linens & towels. Everything was recently updated Even new appliances. The open floor plan was perfect. Every bedroom was big. With a very nice bathroom. We would definitely rent again.

Siblings Vacation

Our vacation consisted of 8 adults. This home was plenty large enough to accommodate everyone. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. No one had to sleep on a couch or in a common area, which is often the case with rentals. The house was immaculately clean! The pictures online are not deceiving! This home is full of high end finishes, comfortably furnished, and the kitchen is well stocked. We were able to cook for 8 adults easily. There is a beach within walking distance that is pretty calm. If you want big waves, the West End beach is just a short drive away. Morning coffee is best enjoyed on the porch, or in the rocking chairs at the top of the dune in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet, which suited our needs well (we mostly hung out at the house and spent time together, since we live all over the country and don’t see each other often). There are some pretty good restaurants on the island, but I suggest calling ahead for reservations. They are always packed in the summer, and some of them have odd hours/days of operation. It was a very relaxing vacation, and we can’t wait to go back! Sabine is an excellent host!

What a great week!

Our family had such a great time in Dauphin Island and this house was the best! The home is large and spacious - plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook and enjoy meals together. The living spaces were great for games and puzzles and hanging out. The porches were very nice too. Bedrooms and bathrooms - comfortable and well-stocked! Best was the personal care we received from Sabine. She answered all questions and stayed ahead of us by checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed! I feel like the only thing that would have been better was if she was there in person with us - her gift of hospitality was so apparent! Thank you for a great vacation!
