The location on The island was perfect, walking distance to the gulf side and close enough to carry and put out the kayaks right from the house on the bay side. The house is a great, no frills beach house that comfortably slept our family. As with most of the rentals on Dauphin, remember to pack in everything you need, Paper towels, TP, garbage bags, laundry detergent, etc. Having access to the kayaks is a great perk!
