Loved being ON the beach with three bedrooms facing the Gulf and opening onto a large deck with areas for sitting, eating or lounging. Five bedrooms with baths suited our extended family The house was very cLean and well maintained.
Our family was very impressed with the cleanliness of this rental.
One of the best rentals we have experienced. We have been coming to Dauphin Island for more than 10 years. This rental is our favorite. It was nice not to have to clean as soon as we checked in.

good property for large family
Nice house, wide beachfront, seemed well maintained. Private bathrooms for each bedroom were a huge plus. Cant see the sunset, someone built a 2-story right next to the porch in the last year. Kitchen is small and not well stocked- mishmash of cooking utensils and pots. Its evident the owners dont expect you to cook much from the sign on the wall- "I only have a kitchen because it came with the house". Had to deal with contractors replacing storm-damaged siding and removing a ceiling fan for one day of our stay, the hammering was annoying, but we simply left for the beach. Nice house, but beware- with homeaway fees, cleaning fees, maintenance fees, etc etc added by Dauphin Island Real Estate, the actual price is considerably higher than the advertised "per night" price. Second year on the island, we will be back n 2019.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2023
Hi, thank you for your review of Ocean Melody. I wanted to follow up on some issues that you listed.
Kitchen items: The owners are aware that several items are outdated and need upgraded. They are going to replace / upgrade when they are here in December.
Siding: Hurricane Gordon did blow a large section of siding off of the house. The contractor wanted to get the siding back on the house to prevent any damage to the home. We are so sorry this happened during your stay but appreciate you letting them complete the work.
Fees: There are additional fees on every reservation. Dauphin Island Real Estate charges the following (they are also listed in the Homeaway quote): $50 reservation fee, cleaning and linen fee, pet fee (if you bring a pet *this is not listed on Homeaway and added after a reservation is confirmed*), 11% lodging tax. There is an optional $45 damage waiver fee that is not listed on Homeaway that you can purchase directly through our office after booking or you can purchase it through Homeaway. Whichever you prefer.
Thank you for your review and we hope you enjoyed your stay on the Island!
