We arrived after dark and there were no outside lights on for us. Thank goodness we brought flashlights so we could enter the door code. The house needs a lot of maintenance . Floor is coming up in 1 bedroom. Deck and railings are missing boards. Dish washer is broken. Draft comes through both doors. Love the island , but didn’t love this house.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Feb 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. The exterior lighting is being addressed, and while our team was already working on the deck and railing, those repairs unfortunately took longer than anticipated and impacted your visit. We regret that this occurred. Our maintenance team has also been notified about the flooring, dishwasher, and door issues so they can be properly resolved. This is not how we want guests to experience Dauphin Island or any home we manage. Someone from our team will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your stay in more detail. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and are committed to making improvements that lead to better, more comfortable stays for all of our guests.

The house and view were beautiful, but the chairs in the kitchen were wobbly and unsafe, and one of the beds was unsafe (king mattress on a full-size frame). There was a radiator on the bay beach area that was a hazard and we had grandbabies so that messed up their play area.

Our stay

We thought the location was good and it os convenient to the gulf and bay access. It was big enough for our group of 7, we also had our dog with us who enjoyed playing on the bay side. We did request a toaster and the grill to be cleaned during our stay. The toaster was brought to us on the same day requested but the grill no one ever came to clean it so we cleaned it ourselves since we needed to use it. The property could be cleaned better since when we went to use the coffee maker the inside of it was covered in mold. Be careful on the deck barefooted you might catch a splinter. Lastly, the Wi-Fi kept going in and out, not the hosts issue just an FYI. Overall it was a good stay for our family and dog.

Don't rent the Saltaire

The locking mechanism is very difficult. Even with the code we could not get the door open for more than an hour after arrival. You must push the door in and hold it in a specific way to get the locking mechanism to work. there is no ice maker in the refrigerator and no ice cube trays either. The water pressure in the showers is very low. The place has the smallest washer I have ever seen, as it could only hold two towels and a couple swimsuits per load.

I apologize you did not enjoy the vacation home that you rented. We have made an adjustment with the lock. We haven't had an issue since. We will definitely look at the other issues and see if we can make any changes ~ DIBR

Previous reviews almost caused me not to book

Let's just start with the good stuff. Location is great! Right in the middle of the island and house comes with private beach access, just a short walk from your back door. Communication was great with property manager and was quick to answer and questions/concerns. We almost did not book with this host due to previous reviews, but I am glad we choose to disregard and book our stay. Previous reviews mentioned a radiator in the sand at the beach, which there was. Not sure how this got there and why it is still there, but it does become slightly dangerous when tide is high, and the waves cover it completely. You sometime forgot it was there and had to watch not to trip or kicking it when in the water. The other reviews talked about how the house needed work, and it does. However all the necessities worked, and we were able to have a place to sleep,shower,eat and cool off after a day at the beach. Does the patio need redone, yes. Does the front door need replaced, yes. Does the shower have little to no pressure, yes. But these are all things that we knew wouldn't bother us too much. Especially with the location and cost of the rental. This was a dog friendly rental, and we did take our 7-yr old boxer with us, and she had a great time! FYI- Stairs are a little steep but she managed.

Dog poop and sand

Loved our vacation location. House is in need of outdoor repairs. Siding coming off. Toilet didn't want to flush. Garbage disposal smelled bad. People before us didn't take trash to curb and housekeeping didn't either we had to take a over flowing can to curb and had no room for anything of ours for 3 days. Coffe ring on kitchen table when we got there. Only enough propane to grill half our first meal. Major no no for me was sand on top bunk bed making me feel like it was never cleaned. To top it off we found dog poop in second bedroom and we didn't bring animals! I clean vacation rentals and completely blown away with lack of proper things being done. We love dauphin island it's our 3d time visiting!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2023

Gosh, I am so sorry the property did not meet your expectations. I hope you called DIBR to let us know about your issues. We will always get the housekeepers to come back until you are happy with the job that they did. The propane runs out often for guests, so they call us to bring another to them immediately. I wish we could have all the sand that goes into the houses disappear with one great vacuum job. Unfortunately, most of the time, it does not happen, and some sand is left behind. Again I am sorry about the issues that you did have and hopefully, you spoke with the office so we could make your vacation more comfortable. DIBR

In Need of repairs

The house needs a lot of attention. Outside the siding was coming off or missing, lattice work was thrown in the walk way under house so it was very unsafe for kids. Inside there was dog hair everywhere and outside on the deck there was dog poop. I know this rental allowed pets but never expected to find all of the dog hair covering the bedding sheets and comforters and poop on the deck. We had to wash it all and use our own blankets as cover because we could not wash the big comforters. All of the furniture in the living room area was stained up and just looked uncleaned. Doorknobs were loose and made it hard to open some of the doors. Keyless entry lock kept locking us out so be careful when you walk outside. The fridge/freezer smelled so bad. This is so sad because this would be a really nice rental if it had some attention shown to it. The location is perfect for families.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug 2023

I apologize the beach house was not as you expected. The bedding is cleaned after every stay, so I will find out what happened. I know it is always hard for anyone to get all the dog hair up in a back-to-back stay. We will address all of your concerns with our team. I hope you will return to the island and give us another chance. DIBR

There were several things in the house that needed repaired. Appliances are old and we had to keep our food in coolers, door handle would not open and needed replaced, window was broken, flooring was coming up in the kitchen, toilet paper holder was broken, no screeens on the back of the house so when the power was out for over 24 hours we could’ve ended open the windows, sand was piled so high in the driveway that our guest got stuck 2 times then ended up having to park their car at a different location and be transported back and forth and there is no cable or satellite provider. After a conversation with Adam I was told he would refund a small portion of what we paid and still haven’t seen it. I would not recommend this property or rental property that manages it.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2023

I am very sorry you had a bad experience Michelle. Coming off our 5th named storm, we regrettably tried very hard to save your reservation and not cancel it. The power outage occurred due to a line failure in the bay and not during a storm. We were able to get in and out of your driveway, but did send someone down with a skidsteer to scrape it as soon as we heard you had problems. The house does have internet and TV service - the island internet is admittedly spotty after storms as they complete their repairs. I did pay you a refund and see it processed back to your credit card on September 29th, the day after you departed and well before this review.

Could be really nice … a

This house is unfortunately not safe. It’s a shame because done correctly it could be a fantastic rental. Dirty linen, dried food on dishes, bugs all over kitchen, broken glass all over walkway, rusty wires poking out of several gates, boards w/rusty nails sticking straight up-one went through someone’s foot, mold in coffee maker, missing pickets on 2nd floor walkway that a toddler can fall right through, tripping hazards ie old bricks scattered all over the place & on & on — I let mgmt know about these & addtl issues. Someone sprayed for bugs 1 morning & they were back that afternoon. The company has a lot of excuses including that they could have fixed some of these issues but since we did not want people coming in/ out of house my complaints could not be addressed. I am in the middle of Chemo & could not allow random workers in/ out all weekend. The lady with the bug spray was my max. They said halfway through the stay they could leave clean linen & a coffee maker outside if I had just let them.. I don’t know who was in charge of written invitations that day but if you can fix a problem just FIX IT. Leave the items outside. They refunded my cleaning fee which was fitting. They completely ignored the repeated complaint/ comment that there were boards w/ rusty nails sticking straight up in the walkway & one went through my husbands foot. After reading the other reviews & management responses I am curious as to the excuses that will be posted below knowing I can’t respond

Amanda, I apologize for your issues as a guest in Saltaire. I feel like we tried to accommodate you and make your vacation fabulous. You would not allow us to try to make it right. You did not want anyone to enter the property while you were there. I'm not sure what else you wanted us to do. We even offered you a percentage off, and you refused that. I'm very sorry your trip was not what you wanted. We tried everything possible to make it right for you so you would enjoy your stay. We were unable to do that, so I apologize for that. DIBR

Nice house, needs a few updates

We had a great stay, the house was nice. However, there are a few things that need to be addressed: The rugs weren’t very clean, the bathroom rug looked like it belonged outdoors. The windows didn’t all have screens in them, which was annoying because we would’ve loved to open the windows and feel a nice ocean breeze through the house. The blinds were broken in many places and quite dirty. Other than that, the house was great. It had everything we needed, including a great fenced in dog yard, which the dog could access right from the deck landing. The porch had a wraparound deck, very enjoyable for kids, dog and adults. The house is very well laid out for being a smaller size. We had four adults and two kids, and had plenty of space. The house is on the north side of Bienville, so the property backs up to the bay, which was nice to walk along or view the sunset. Also you can walk out the driveway, cross the road, and enjoy the beach on the gulf. Most houses on the bay don’t have that beach access, so this was a nice bonus for us! We had a great stay!
