Was such a wonderful get away - we took our hammocks and tied them up on the dock and relaxed. The mosquitoes were the only negative part - make sure to take bug spray. The house had everything we needed and was roomy. We enjoyed playing games around the table. We saw dolphins from the dock several days and enjoyed the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. It was very quiet and relaxing. Also, our grand pup enjoyed the trip, too. Wonderful time overall! ##### Jeanette R.

We love staying at Fish Bones. It’s a perfect location for families who like to fish and play in the Sound/Bay but still have easy/deeded access to the beautiful beaches and gorgeous waters of the Gulf. We love the amazing sunset views, watching dolphins frolic, flying kites, trapping blue crabs in the provided crab traps, and seeing how many hermit crabs we can find. (We release all the crabs so they’ll, perhaps, be around for the next lucky guests.) You can’t go wrong with this house, location, or fabulous host, Deborah. ##### Kim B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lived Up to the Expectation I had my in-laws visiting from Germany for a quick trip to celebrate my husband's birthday. I wanted to find a quiet spot where I could bring my dog but yet enjoy the outdoors. This house/location looked to be perfect and it was! The Germans were very impressed and said so quite often. There was an issue with the heat not working the first night but Deborah, the PM, was on it and had it fixed as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend this property and we will be coming back again.

The house is great. It is in a perfect spot. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. My husband fished a lot off the dock. We saw dolphins. It was very peaceful even though we had neighbors on both sides. We only used the both level of the house and only one of the bedrooms. The bed was very comfortable.. The back deck has a picnic table and a lot of comfortable seats. We will definitely be back to stay at this house. Deborah our host was awesome. So easy to work and communicate with. Thanks for everything. ##### Susan R.

The dogs thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the beach. The house had everything we needed. Deborah, the rental agent, was fantastic. There were a couple of small issues and she fixed them immediately - seriously excellent customer service and a lovely lady. We look forward to returning next year. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/889c54f1-6fbd-49d9-8d89-35c29ce9eba1-1760650400276.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f3a3395-2789-4b23-958d-5e7d7f1e5df2-1760650410487.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4ab9d10-08fc-4b3b-888b-f43b5741d83e-1760650420294.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda S.

We spent most of our time sitting on the dock fishing and talking. I caught many fish including founder right off the dock. The views were spectacular. Would recommend to anyone wanting to relax and get away from a busy life. The house met all of our needs including preparing food that we caught. I would definitely revisit. The host was amazing and incredibly available when needed. Wonderful vacation. ##### James W.

Gorgeous views from inside the house. Very convenient location being on the bay side but super short walk across the street to the gulf beach. ##### Jamie B.

The location is great and the house was clean. It wasnice having a front and back porch to enjoy staying out of the sun or watching for the sunset. ##### Gladys B.

I would suggest getting some better kitchenware and some boards need to be replaced on the deck but other than that it was a very nice stay ##### Ashley H.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara S. 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dauphin Island This property was an amazing find for our extended family. We like to travel with our pups and this home was very accommodating. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out. The views were amazing. We had amazing sunrises and sunsets. We had multiple days when we were visited by dolphins. The gulf side is a fairly easy walk but we decided that we enjoyed the relative quiet of the bay. Plenty of sand by the dock to sit and relax. Water was calm and shallow. The home is very comfortable with plenty of kitchen supplies. Check in was easy and the property manager was very responsive and pleasant. We would definitely return. ##### Sara S.
