About this property

Autumn Retreat - Gulf Coast Condos on the Sand Dunes - 102

Summary:
Beautiful brand newly renovated condos at the base of the sand dunes. Enjoy your beautiful kitchen with front, rear and side decks, enjoy the covered porch with sand dunes behind. The best restaurant on the island Pirate's is right down the street and the closest public beach access is right behind Pirates. Very short drive to all of the beaches on the island. Come enjoy our beautiful home on Dauphin Island!

The Space:
This a downstairs unit in a 4 unit house. Units 101 and 102 are downstairs and units 201 and 202 are upstairs. Every unit has its own private balcony area. You can access the sand dunes and even take a walk down to the water and beach area but it’s a bit of a walk and not a “public” beach access with restrooms like they have at the public beach accesses.

Guest Access:
There are 4 charcoal grills on the property but please don’t use them underneath the deck. Just move the grill onto the grassy area in the back yard or on the concrete out front. We provide starter supplies to last you a day or so until you have a chance to get to the store.

Other Things to Note:
This is a downstairs unit in a house with 4 units. There are about 5 steps to climb, but we do have hand railings. Pets: no cats allowed! Two dogs max, 75lbs max, $75 fee per dog.

Interaction with Guests:
Please reach out to our team through the message thread and either Karin, Meg or Shane will get back to you! We can’t be responsible for lost items so please be careful to take everything with you when you check out!

Could not have been any better

The property is as good as it can be without a view of the water, very very clean and furnished better than average. We loved where the house was located. If I ever go in that direction again I will surely stay at this house.

Dauphin Condo in the Woods

The condo was easy to find. There are no views but it’s location makes it easy to navigate the island. Check In was easy. The kitchen was well appointed. Fast response from owner/manager.

Quiet and comfortable

We both work a lot. So what a nice surprise to arrive to a quiet off the party path condo. A restaurant just within minutes down the road with great food. And the manager c I ntacted us just to make sure everything was just right then the owner also came by introduced himself and WOW they are nice people. It was quiet and the island itself is laid back atmosphere. We went fishing cooked in the condo which had all the comforts of home and we got to bring our two daschund children with us and they had a blast walking on their leashes sniffing everything in site. Wonderful place to stay and relax. Would recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

The location was centered on the Island & we were never more than several minutes from anywhere we went. Sand dunes & a non swimming beach only a few minutes walk from the property. Bathroom & kitchen amenities as described. I would recommend staying here.

Comfortable Bed and Clean Condo

Condo was very clean. Bed in Master was very comfortable. The shower was nice and warm with great water pressure. For the tv you can use YouTube - otherwise you will need to sign in to your hulu/netflix accounts. Just a heads up - the bedrooms don't have any chest of drawers so bring extra hangers or expect to leave clothes in suitcase. Also bring your beach towels as the condo does not provide that. Be aware that the island has biting flies - I had never heard of that before so bring some sort of bug spray with you because they really hurt. Also, we happened to be there during jellyfish season so bring white vinegar with you to the beach as well. The seafood was great - everyone was super friendly on the island. The beaches are beautiful - just know that it is not clear water even though it's on the gulf - it is brown/brackish because of the fresh water mixing in with the gulf - if you want clear emerald water - drive to Pensacola which was 1 hr 45 minutes away. Friendly people - delicious seafood - condo was centrally located. You will need to drive to the beach from the condo - not a big deal - took us 5 minutes. Also note that all the public beaches are $10 a day.

Beautiful condo

The condo was absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable, I believe I got the best sleep of my life here! The kids room was so cute and was spacious enough for my three kids and I loved being able to bring my dog with us. He also seemed to enjoy it as we walked him up on the sand dunes behind the house. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. At one point during our stay, all 4 units were full and I still felt like we had a lot of privacy. I liked the laundry room being outside away from everything since we often brought sand back with us from the beach so we were able to keep it contained outside. We spent a lot of time exploring the sand dunes behind the condo, the public beach is super close too! I also liked being so close to Pirates Bar & Grill. We are already planning on returning! We loved this condo. I could leave a 5 star review for the island as well! This was the best vacation!
