Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### B K. 15 May 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication #### Adequate Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. Rain & tornado kept us inside for a few days. Not in property management control. However, as advertised, the beach may be within walking distance if you are in your 20's. It's a long walk-through high grass/weed and water. Wife & I in our 70's could not get to it. Only 1 day at the beach was disappointing. Also, a note on the refrigerator stated free parking at the beach if stamped by the police department which is not so, beach is not included with the signed police authorization slip. The home had everything we needed and was comfortable. It is a good deal for the price. ##### B K.

Quite, nested in a beautiful lush green blanket of trees and plants, there is no end to the charm. Our time here was well spent. A short drive to anyting you would wish, or a brisk walk to the beach. I hightly recomend this location for anyone wanting a quite get away, or anyone with chidren. Cute twin bedroom set up was perfect set up for my son.

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. It's an older home nestled among tall trees, and close enough to the public beach for very easy access. The home is well-supplied and the beds are very comfortable. It's dog-friendly. And the owner is always very kind and responsive. Although the house appeared to be clean there was a musty smell, especially in the bathroom. Perhaps a deep clean is in order? ##### Lois S.

I love that it is quiet and feels secluded. It is in the middle of the island so it's quick to get everywhere. The new grill was wonderful to use. We found everything we needed and everything was clean for us to use. Thanks, Joy!!! We'll be back next September!! ##### Renee L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica C. 22 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet neighborhood We enjoyed our stay in the house. It is an older home, but everything I used worked fine. It just needs cosmetic and furniture updates. The backyard was nice to use for our dog especially since the other house was vacant for our week. The fence is down in a few spots though. It is a short walk to the public beach (3/4 mile to water) and a block from the bike path. Overall the house was quiet and comfortable for my son, dog and I. ##### Jessica C. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cari O. 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good for the Price, but some issues We loved the location (a bit off the main drag but within walking distance to the public beach). This was a lovely wooded lot, which made the porch and porch swing a bonus!. Also, the whole check in was super easy!!! Great wifi, the TV had most of what we would want but we also brought our own ROKU (which was super easy to attach to the LR and BR TVs).The pictures were a little bit misleading: The house is in need of updating and the kitchen photo leaves out the fact that the washer/dryer/water heater are all there and exposed. But honestly, that was fine.The bed was comfortable, but I suggest you bring your own pillows. Plenty of towels for showers, and the kitchen had most of the basics. If you plan to actually cook a family meal there, I would let them know to see what you may need to supplement. For our needs, it was just fine!Here is my only real complaint: The water heater provides enough water for 1 10-min shower every 3-4 hours. If you want to use that lovely tub they have, you will need to boil supplemental water in pots and pans as there is not enough hot water to actually fill the tub.That being said, we would absolutely re-book this site, especially now that we are aware. ##### Cari O. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim B. 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First time at Dauphin Island The house is centrally located and secluded. Minimal traffic and very little noise (except some construction work on nearby houses during the week). The house is perfect for 2 people and is pet friendly. The yard has a fence but it is falling down in some places. Unless you have an off-leash trained dog, I would recommend keeping them on a long line to go potty. My husband enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the chair. Stairs are a little hard if you have mobility issues, but they are manageable. If you're just looking for a place to stay and don't care about the fancy frilly stuff, this place is ideal. We didn't need to pay extra for fancy stuff like at other places. The house fit our needs well and I would recommend staying there again. ##### Kim B.
