Great Get-away!
Our family of 5 plus our dog stayed comfortably at this cottage for 5 nights in March for spring break. We enjoyed walking to the popular breakfast place, tried all 3 public beaches, the aquarium and lots of hiking through bird sanctuaries. We used the main walking path in town for morning runs. The cottage was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Perfect quiet little getaway
We were getting some work done on our kitchen so we needed to get away with our kids and dogs. With it also being spring break, we chose Dauphin Island to avoid the college riffraff. We absolutely loved it! This little house was PERFECT for our needs. It was close to everything. The comfortable sofas and large tvs were perfect for when we needed to rest with our little after all the fun.
The only things I will note which in no way are a reflection of the property itself is that the cleaning person was literally pulling out the driveway at 3pm when we arrived to check in. We drove around the block and when we got back, the floors were still wet from just being mopped. Also, the tub drain was completely clogged and barely drained. My husband took care of that.
Overall I would still recommend this place. It fit my husband and I, our two little girls, and our two old labs perfectly!

A cozy retreat
The house was wonderfully cozy for the two of us. We spent most of our daylight hours outdoors and the house was a pleasant spot to end the day! Dauphin Island is a great bird watching location and the house is located within a very short walk to a premier birding hotspot. Many other birding hotspots were a short drive from the house. Everything on the island seemed to work well; ferry, parking and pleasant locals! Shopping is limited and groceries should be purchased before driving onto the island.

Perfect for Family of 4!
Perfectly updated little house for our family of 4! We honestly didn’t spend much time at the house with how beautiful the island is, but the time spent at the house couldn’t have been better. Comfy beds, huge TV’s, nice couches! Also centrally located so easy access to anything you want to do!
