Great views!

We really enjoyed the stay and everything was comfortable. Any minor inconvenience that happened upon us was quickly overshadowed by the amazing location and view from the back porch. All in all we would stay here again and enjoy it all the same!

Break from the cold

We absolutely loved this place. We were lucky enough to get free early check in because we were traveling only 100 miles for the day. This place had french doors off bedrooms and dining with huge windows throughout. I loved the colors and decor. Loved the walkin shower. It is a bit aged but clean. The view to the ocean kept us on the deck a lot. Gorgeous.

This is a nice house in a GREAT location. We had plenty of amenities for our 7 day stay. We enjoyed the private beach and lots of walks with our dog. We had good food at Captain Snappers, Island Restaurant and the carriage. We will book here again.

Nice little beach house at end of street

Was reasonable priced compared to other properties near by. It was very quiet day and night and the back deck was great for watching boats and stargazing at night. There were a few issues we didn’t bother contacting management with but overall we loved it and our stay and plan to return.

Fabulous views

We stayed for a weeked. The view to the bay is unobstructed. The beach is just a shot walk down a path. The area was quiet and the home was clean. Bring spices if you plan to cook. All appliances were in working order.

Trip to dolphin Island with our dog Thor he’s a black lab

Glad we got there when we did cause they had a lifetime event with the snow, but we love taking our dog for a walk on the beach. We loved getting fresh seafood at steamers. We were off-season. We enjoyed every sunset. We got a torrential rain so we got to experience why they stilts. We had fun we liked it.

Sunset Beach

Views of the bridge are great and the sunsets are stunning. We stayed here for two weeks last year and liked it so much that we booked it for four weeks this year and have already reserved it for four weeks next year. Lots of fresh, local, oysters at local restaurants and Skinners fish market is a great place to get locally caught fish to prepare at home. Location is great and you have views of both the bay and the Gulf.

Needs some TLC

Love the privacy this home offers. The beach access is amazing, sunsets from the deck are picture perfect, and being able to bring our two dogs…priceless.

Nice home & view

This home was as described. Clean and in a good location. We had a nice stay. As some others have mentioned, the house definitely shakes. We are not large people, and it was a noticeable and significant shake/sway when one of us walked through the home which was a bit unnerving.

Great vacation with dogs

The house is nice though some features are a bit dated. The views are great. You get a good view to the west as there is no only another house on that side. Great sunset view from the dining room. The windows and doors have low windows which the pups loved to look out. Cleaning crew had done a great job. There were minor maintenance issues which we told management about on checkout.

Missing chances

I have rented this house a couple times and have always enjoyed the location. This time around, there where some things that are making me rethink renting it again in the future.

Great location

For the money, great house, wonderful location. Two items with easy fixes would improve the appeal. One, clean and paint the black spot on the ceiling. Very unsightly. Two, I would not stay here again without this correct. Simply put black out curtains in the queen bedroom to buffer the light streaming in from the neighbor’s 24/7 floodlights being left on and the outside security light. I cannot sleep with the light on and that’s the way it feels! An easy fix to just add the blackout or light filtering curtains.

The location and beach was great. Both baths were great. However, the condition of the front and back decks was not safe. In fact, one of our party chair leg went through the back deck and through him out of the chair and on to the deck. The sofa bed had baseball size knots in the mattress. The kitchen had only one fry pan. Nothing to boil shrimp in. The floor had soft places in it. The staff I interacted with was very nice and came to the house the day of our complaint. They did repair the hole in the deck. But there should be work done before it is rented again.

Nice Location on the bay

Property was clean and in a good location on the bay side, close walk to the beach side. Check-in and out was seamless. The house was everything we needed it to be to enjoy our stay, but could use a few upgrades. * Heat stopped working during out trip. Went outside and found that a breaker had tripped in exterior electric panel. was able to reset without needing to contact management. Entire panel cover had clearly blown off some time ago and was weathered; new panel, breakers, and some exterior wiring likely needs replacing. I did text this concern to management upon checkout and it sounded like they were going to check it out. *House shakes a bit when people use exterior stairs. Could benefit from some cross bracing like most other houses on the island.

Great location. Home needs work.

This house is in such a wonderful location. You have the bay right behind the house and it’s just a sort drive to the beach. Great views from the back deck. The house was nice and clean when we arrived. Both bathrooms look to have been renovated and were nice. Good water pressure and hot water. The house is in need of repairs. There are multiple soft spots on the floor. The house sways quite a bit which can be a little unnerving. The back deck needs a lot of work. There were some exposed nails and one of the spindles also became detached when my child pushed on it. I didn’t feel totally comfortable with my small children out there. The stairs to back deck were also shaky. The beds in the house could also use replacing. If you are planning to do a lot of cooking, I would bring my own cookware. Most of the skillets were very worn/damaged. There was plenty of plates, cutlery and cooking utensils. The stove is also not great. Electric burners are uneven and a bit hard to cook on. All in all we had a great time due to the location but would not stay here again unless those things mentioned were remedied.

Great view of the bay!

The Views were great. The house was nice. It not new by no means, but was a cute little place to stay. The front room furniture is well loved, and the patio loungers need replaced. Three out of four were broken. The house does sway when others walk through. We didn't let any of that ruin our stay. It was still a peaceful place to stay. Be careful on the beach in the back yard. Glass does wash up from the bay. We did enjoy our stay, and enjoyed Dauphin Island.
