Family time

We had 3 almost 3 year-olds and an almost 5 year old. This is the perfect property for small ones. Lots of books, riding toys and chairs for them. The walk to the pool and beach is short and having wagons to carry the provided chairs, toys and towels was fantastic.

Lovely Neighborhood

My family travels to DI twice a year. This was our first time staying in Desoto Landing. The house was easy to find and check-in was a breeze. We had a few minor issues, but the host was responsive to messages and apologetic. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. I was comfortable with even the younger kids walking the beach, neighborhood, etc. The community areas were clean and easily accessible. The pool was never crowded, even during spring break. My only complaint is the bathroom situation. If you have 9+ people in the house, this will be an issue. There is only one bathroom that is not en suite so you could potentially have 6 or more people sharing that. And it is very small. Also anyone that sleeps upstairs (that is not in the master) has to come downstairs to use the restroom at night. Keep this in mind with children and those with limited mobility. Seating in the living room is limited to a couch, loveseat, and children’s seating. We brought chairs from the master bedroom to accommodate our group. Pretty much everything that you need in the kitchen is provided. There is a gas grill under the house as well. We cooked nearly all of our meals there. Be aware…There are a lot of rules. The welcome packet was more involved than any other place that I have ever stayed, but we had no issues complying with expectations. I was overall quite happy with the house and would definitely consider booking this place again.

Nice Family Vacation Home

Spacious home for large family gatherings. Wrap around porches on both levels provide relaxed seating options. Owner provides plenty of indoor games/movies/reading material as well as outdoor beach gear, children’s toys, and tennis equipment. Dauphin Island provides a more laid-back, quiet, and less crowded beach experience than more popular beaches nearby. Community pool and tennis court nice options.
