Felt like a home that was lived in, and we were just passing throuhh on a journey. We appreciated the small space in a world that wants to push families apart, this felt like a place to bring them together. ##### Bradley W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia B. 18 Jul 2018 #### Very clean and peaceful property Check in/out process was a breeze due to the amazing staff! The poperty was exactly what I expected. Clean, well organized, and had all the essentials that we needed. ##### Olivia B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Paulette D. 14 Jun 2018 #### Cozy and comfortable The property was just what we wanted, off the beach but close to numerous beach access points. We loved being on the wooded area of the island and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary and ferry were both extremely accessible. There is some construction on a massive lodge and boat shop next door so I will be interested to see what happens to this quaint, quiet street when it opens. One other issue we had was the air conditioning and washer didn't work properly, but the property management were helpful and prompt. ##### Paulette D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica B. 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dauphin Island Getaway Seven Shells was a great place for our little Christmas holiday! It was neat and clean, and stocked with all of the necessities. One perk which appealed to us was there were only five or six steps to climb rather than the 20-30 commonly found on stilted beach houses. We were very comfortable. Though it isn’t directly on the water, the location is very convenient to all the amenities of this lovely little town. We found there were several places of interest to visit, and also many restaurants which came highly recommended. The little grocery market had a surprising selection of necessities and more. One small disappointment was the backyard grill, which was very cheap and not cleaned. And there was a nice television in the living area, but not a lot of content was available, perhaps due to the spotty WiFi, which I guess isn’t surprising given the somewhat remote location. ACP Vacation Rentals were very helpful and provided easy instructions and information about the property. We would love to go back! ##### Monica B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron O. 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place To Stay Dauphin Island is fantastic. This house is small but has great utility. The second bedroom (has a tv) mattress is a little suspect but we switched to the master bedroom and it was fine. I prefer the location (east end) as the west end is a little congested. Our location was perfect. Quiet, safe and easy access. For $10 a day you can park at east, west and middle beaches. There are four free beaches (small coves) but for $10…….. you pay once and it’s good for all the locations. The west end doesn’t allow pets. Overall though the island is very pet friendly. We wouldn’t go anywhere that discriminates against dogs - LOL. Overall, I give the entire experience an B+. The only reason it doesn’t get an A is due to the dining experiences. Pirate Pizza and Wings is fantastic along with Pirates Bar and Grill has excellent food. The others were not very good but that could be because we were there prior to when the season officially opened. ##### Ron O.

They are currently building a large complex at the end of the street and construction was noisy during the mornings. We would have preferred that they started working later in the morning...but what are you going to do? We loved the front porch and the company even had a fan delivered for us to enjoy. We'd love to come back next summer, hopefully when construction on the property next door is complete. ##### Cara H.

Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### GREG S. 25 Aug 2016 #### Cute house, lots of room inside, fenced yard. We liked the outside setting with the trees. We liked the bike trail being so close to the house. We though it was neat to have lime trees in the yard with limes on them. We enjoyed having a wrap around deck even though the boards were a bit weathered. We liked having a gate on the side of the deck to keep our dog from getting out. We liked the covered front porch. The house looks small from the outside but once inside, the open floor plan really opens it up. Nicely decorated. Love the furniture throughout. The fenced yard was nice to have for our pet. We stored our bicycles in the shed out back for protection. We rented movies from the RedBox location and bought seafood from the local market. Both of these were within a mile or so from the house. We recommend Skinners Seafood. They will steam the food for you for a flat rate of $1.50. There is a pastry shop in the area too that has awesome cinnamon rolls. We found our favorite spot on the beach down one of the side roads for public beach access. This was our first time at the beach during August. The crowds were a lot less than other months. We didn't make it to the Bird Sanctuary as we were there during the stormiest time in August. Our trips were just to the beach and back for a few hours at a time. ##### GREG S.

Spacious well mainteined property. 1 to 1 and half mile to the public beach, its kind in the center of the island. Close to the stores ##### Enrique G.

This home was incredible- so much more than a rental, it felt like home! The kitchen was full stocked with anything you need- the beds and linens were super comfy, and the property was clean and well decorated! This was our first trip to Dauphin Island and we will return again! The people are friendly and helpful and there's a lot to do! However- plan to eat out EARLY!! Places close early!! Like 7pm! ##### MaryJo H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutledge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rutledge-Hotels-The-Rutledge-Inn.h1403849.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
