Julie, Thank you for the 5 star review. It is much appreciated. We are happy to read you enjoyed your stay at Footprints in the Sand. We would welcome the opportunity to host you in future visits to the island. Come back anytime. DIBR
This is a very nice place to stay. It is just steps from the pool, but not directly in front of it which gives you more privacy. The BBQ grill is only steps away as well. Everything inside is neat, clean, and decorated very nice. While it is beach front, the walk to get to the water is very long. The beach was not crowded but we didn't find many shells. It was a reasonable price. 5 stars

Thank you for staying with us! We hope to see you again!
Wonderful condo with every convenience you could ask for! We had great beach days, pool days, grilling days and exploring days! The condo was beyond our expectations and more. Modern, super clean and relaxing! Can’t wait to return!
We absolutely loved our say in Footprints in the Sand at the Inn on Daulphin Island! The space was perfect for a family of 4. Kitchen had all we needed, and there was PLENTY of towels. It was close to the pool, but far enough away to have privacy. We will definitely be coming to stay again!!

Thank you!! We love when guests have a great vacation!! Thank you for choosing DIBR
Very comfortable 2 bedroom unit with a pretty view that was also private. Walk right out to the pool but just to the side enough so that you didn’t have others right outside your room.
Pretty view of the beach even though you’re on the first floor with enough of the dunes and foliage to shield you stay private while you’re indoors. Very convenient location.

So glad you enjoyed this wonderful home. We hope you come back to the island soon. Thank you for choosing Dauphin Island Beach Rentals~DIBR
Loved staying on Dauphin Island and we must have been there at a perfect time of the year because it was so calm, peaceful and clean. The condo was clean and comfortable and so was the whole island. The location was perfect for us to visit family in Mobile area and yet stay on the beach in an area that’s not been commercialized. The local people were friendly. The beach was phenomenal and the lack of so many people made it incredibly enjoyable. Great place to be able to walk far out into the ocean, we got up close with tons of blue crab, stingray and hermit crabs. Our teenage kids at first missed the higher populations of more popular beaches on the east coast but after a few days appreciated the slower pace and seeing how many crabs they could catch with their bare hands and a stick. We will definitely be back to Dauphin Island in the future and would definitely book at this condo. Ground floor access 15 foot from a swimming pool is super handy.
DI great place to visit. Property was nicely decorated, conveniently located on beachfront and appeared as described. Enjoyed pool and walks along beach. Easy access and good communication. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks so much for staying with us! Hope to see you again! ~Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)
Absolutely loved our stay, we went for our honeymoon. The beaches are gorgeous! White sand, brakish waters, but beautiful! Our ONLY complaint is there’s NOWHERE to eat breakfast on the island other than a bakery. Nothing opens until 11 to eat, and they all close around 9. Would definitely visit again (and bring our own food to cook next time 😝)

Thank you so much for the review and congrats on starting an exciting chapter of life! Take care and be well! ~Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)
This property is exactly as listed. Communication with owner very accurate and timely. Location on first floor very nice. Walk to beach over boardwalk is about 2 minutes but not strenuous.
Very good location for a quiet beach stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was refreshing and evenings on the beach were lovely. The patio gate latch was not repaired like I was promised it would be, but after speaking to my rental manager, it was promptly repaired.
My only complaint is that we set up a canopy in the grass in front of our unit to have some shade while at the pool and were told to take it down. Apparently, the HOA does not allow canopies, BUT they only provide a minimal amount of shady spots around the pool (one gazebo in between both pools and a couple of palm trees).

Perfect condo
What I loved most about the property is being able to walk right off the back patio to the pool and beach and no stairs! The floors have been updated to all hard surfaces since the photos were taken which was even better with my messy kids.

Basic Beach Condo
The best part of this condo was the direct pool access from our patio. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach, and the fact that we were further away from the public beach access so it was not crowded at all. The condo itself was spacious for our family of four, but it could use a good cleaning and updating. Also, the latch on the gate to the pool from our patio was broken and would not stay shut (could be dangerous for families with small children).

Clean first floor unit - every convenient
Our family loved this beautiful ground floor unit. The unit was very clean and the perfect size for our family. We loved that we did not have to take an elevator to get to our unit. The beach is beautiful with its white sand. We will definetly return to Footprints in the Sand
