The text message system worked great. We enjoyed the boat dock for fishing, and the resident egret enjoyed the croaker catch. Boat slip fit the 24 foot bay boat well. The house was well stocked with cooking essentials, very comfortable beds, and the back patio was awesome. This is a very peaceful property and the location proved the name "Dreamy Sunset" ##### Kevin E.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nikki T. 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Family stay at Dauphin Island The house was comfortable and in a good location. The bedding could be updated with more comfortable pillows. The house seemed to need several small repairs including a new grill for downstairs. Also, the downstairs shower was not usable due to items being stored in it as storage. The management was good to work with. However, not sure that I would stay here a second time. The online pictures did not meet expectations. ##### Nikki T.
