The house was clean and comfortable. The location is PERFECT! We ended up stranded after some flooding, but Vacasa was very understanding and helpful. I would highly recommend!

Second time at this house. Being right on the beach is a winner. Sunrise and sunset on the deck is awesome.

Just Like The Pictures

Nice clean place, perfect placement on the island. On the windy days when water washed up under the houses further down, we still had plenty of sand in front of the house, allowing for a full day of sun. Will look to stay again.

Stunning View

The view from this home was beautiful in every direction. Because the house is at a noarrow point in the island, you can see both the bay and the gulf from the house. And you can hear the surf from every room--very relaxing. The location is really just perfect. We noticed that the deck is brand new and very safe--a great place to sit and enjoy the ocean view.

On the beach and well equipped. Parking is on the road. Clean with some minor maintenance issues. Adequate comfort, not exceptional.

Great Location, Needs some TLC

Even though our stay started out rough (weather), it was a great stay. The location of the property is great to the beach....I realize that the weather elements play a big role in how a house on the beach wears and tears. This one could be a beautiful home if it got more attention as the weather breaks it down...it was a little sad. We had a great time, got the rest and relaxation we needed. We would go back to Dauphin Island. It is off the grid...with plenty to do if you look.

Overall a pleasant stay

Overall, the stay was good. Like a few others have said, we did encounter a few roaches during our stay. Luckily, most of them were already dead so that leads me to believe they have sprayed for them. There were no cleaning supplies to be found. It would have been nice to have at the very least a multipurpose cleaner. There also is no mop, which would be handy if there are any spills. We did not have any small children, but if you do, I would make sure they do not walk on the deck without shoes. There are some nails have come up and stepping on them hurts. I know that is a common problem with these houses, a different one we stayed in last year had the same problem. Other than that, everything else was pleasant. The beds were comfortable. The wifi was surprisingly good. The customer service folks were very responsive and helpful. I do like that you are not expected to do a gazillion chores upon checkout, like you do with some rental companies!

If you want right by the water!

If you want the ocean right at your door this is the house for you. This was our second time staying in the home and we will be back! It was hit and miss with the WI-FI but we made it work for us.

Beautiful Home

We really enjoyed our stay. Location is fantastic. You’re just a few short steps from the water and directly on the beach. House was very clean except for a couple of small issues. Well stocked with everything you could need. Beds were very comfortable. WiFi worked well. 8 people using it and it never slowed at all. This was our first time to stay at Dauphin Island and our first time booking with Vacasa. We will be back and will be looking to book this home again!

Beautiful views

The house has been updated and looks great. Wonderful location and right at the water’s edge. I think parking situation needs to be fixed. Worried about cars getting stuck in the sand. Might want to add gravel or rocks for the driveway like the other houses around there. Get groceries in the city before going to the house. Not much around if you need particular food/items. The area is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Great atmosphere! Loved this house!!

Perfect location on West End

Great house for a family vacation with children. Right on beach. Lots of sand near parking spots so be careful not to get stuck. Ship and Shore is the only grocery spot so if you are feeding a large group you may want to stop in Mobile before getting to the island. House has all the amenities that you may need for cooking. There is a gas grill on the deck for everyday grilling. Skinner’s seafood market is great. The Cottage wine bar and market is an awesome dining spot. We love Dauphin Island. It is very family friendly and not as populated as Gulf Shores. We will return again and I would highly recommend this house.

Viewing Dolphins. Relaxing. unbeatable view. Waves gently lapping. Great porch.

Takes awhile to get on island time, but stay was relaxing. Enjoyed watching dolphins swim past. Unit fit our family - 2 grandparents, 2 parents, one Kindergartener, one 11-month old & one au pair. Room for all. Unbrokern shells galore. Waves quite small - so young ones not afraid. Pots & pans dated. We ate in becuse of babies and COVID. Manager and handyman on top of all issues. They are wonderful! Can't wait to return.
