This was the perfect vacation house for our family - we had an amazing time! Very kid-friendly - toys, movies, supplies, etc. were available for use, and the house was a quick walk to the pool and beach. Our 3-year-old loved it!

The true measure of service is not when everything is perfect; it's when there's a problem. Our AC failed while we were there. Fixed in less than six hours by a true professional. That said, I have never stayed anywhere that considered your needs more carefully. Not just a fully stocked kitchen, but spices, and flour and things you don't even realize you need. Sewing kits, band aids, bottle openers. I've never seen such a thoughtful approach to guests. Directions and suggestions, guides, and events. Location is divine. What a memorable vacation. Thank you so much! ##### mary a.

Your home was beautiful- thank you for opening it up for us to stay there! We appreciated all of your thorough communication and all of the information that you provided regarding the house, what to do on and around the island, where to shop and eat, etc. (Also- the videos of the walk to the beach were really helpful as we were deciding on where to stay.) We appreciated all of the children’s books, toys, and DVDs- those things were so helpful to have for our kids to enjoy. The beach gear (chairs, sand toys, wagon, etc) and bikes were great to have too.

Our family of 5 plus 2 additional friends truly enjoyed the stay in this lovely beach home! I could have stayed longer than the week we booked! The thoughtful owners have anything and everything (and I do mean everything) needed to enjoy a stay on this beautiful island that we sometimes forget when packing for a vacation. It is evident that they are sharing the beach home that they have enjoyed for years with their family. The information provided was very honest, helpful and informative to make our stay the best it could possibly be! It felt more like visiting the home of a family member rather than a rental. It truly has the feel and comfort of a home away from home! All of our party appreciated the abience this lovely home provided. Although not directly on the beach, it did not disapoint! The sounds of nature surrounded the beautiful home and the beach is only a few minutes steps away (or less than that with a bike or golf cart). The owners provide bikes, beach cart, etc. to make the short trip to the beach so very easy. The neighborhood is beautiful and appeared safe to me. We made memories in this beautiful home and its surroundings. We had the opportunity to relax and connect with one another. I am grateful for that. ##### tracey v.

The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils/pans/pots. Beds were very comfortable and nice linens. Well stocked with towels as well. Beach access is great and lovely beach.

The Salty Dog was perfect for our family vacation. The owner made sure that everything needed was provided. Short, pleasant walk to the private beach and pool for the community. Beach and pool was never crowded! This was our first visit to Dauphin Island and we loved it! ##### Mandy H.

We loved staying here! From coffee on the balcony to breakfast on the deck to dinner and board games around the table to napping under the house in our hammock during a rainstorm, we enjoyed every inch of this property! The bikes and boogie boards were fun, and we appreciated the beach chairs for the sunset concert and the movie night at the beach! We cooked dinner every night and packed picnics for the beach. The house was perfect! ##### Denise F.

We felt right at home at the Salty Dog. Most everything we needed (and things we didn’t know we would need) was already at the property... for example my daughters and I will never forget biking through the precious neighborhood and the big beach cart was a daily lifesaver! When we weren’t at the beach or swimming or biking the children loved bird watching and playing with the home’s collection of toys and books. Thank you Liz! We hope to return soon. :) ##### Jillian L.

This property has everything you need for a enjoyable and relaxing week away. A great place to kick up your feet and recharge your batteries before going back to a busy life! ##### Daryl K.

The beach is sparsely populated and wide. The house is not totally updated, but everything works and it feels homey. fyi there was a pack and play under the bed for little ones, plus lots of books and toys. A great spot for a family gathering. The owner is a great communicator and welcoming. ##### Elizabeth R.
