Father and sons fishing trip

Wow, all I can say. I’d you’re looking for a fishing trip from the backyard this is it. My adult sons wanted to go catch a lot of saltwater fish. This place delivered big time. We probably caught 800 fish and 30-35 different species from tiny to 100lbs during our week stay. Housing and furnishing were adequate for our needs. Great trip!

Second time at Fish Haven, enjoyed it again!

Fish Haven is a beautiful bayfront property that faces the Dauphin Island Bridge. Excellent for those interested in fishing and spending most of their time out on the dock or under the large deck watching their poles. The house is simple and clean. Everything worked in the house and we were satisfied with everything. Mr Reeves was very quick to communicate and help our stay be as lovely as possible. Was close to shops, beaches, ice cream parlors, the marina, and resteraunts.

Already sad that we had to leave!

This little house was just perfect for my family! I’m not all about fancy and perfect, so that made this the perfect house for us. My husband and son love to fish, and I couldn’t believe I found a house that sat so close to the water! While they fished, I spent a lot of time on the upper deck area enjoying the views and a good book, as well as taking lots of pictures. They caught a bunch of different types of fish, and really enjoyed themselves. We were also able to bring our dog, which was so helpful because he deals with anxiety. It just was perfect for us. The owner John was always helpful when I had questions, and we will definitely want to come back again! Oh, and all the neighbors were awesome!

Greatest Bay View on the Island

We have now stayed at Fish Haven twice, and we loved it more this time than the last. The sunset view is unbeatable. I can't find another spot on the island that gives a better, unobstructed view. The airport seems to be a training ground for just about every type of helicopter and plane in the area and offers an air show almost hourly. The fishing off the dock never fails. We catch sharks, white trout, speckled trout, croaker, sting rays, red fish, and about every other species available in the area. My only recommendation would be solar lights on the posts on the dock aimed at the water. Thatś just a selfish request because I enjoy fishing at night, and the lights bring in everything. We saw a fish of some variety swim past on our last night that was nearly the length that spans between the two posts in front of the dock. No idea what it was other than enormous. The house was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen is well stocked. If you want to find things to complain about, you will. If you want to have a great vacation, you will. I love the house and will go back without question. John is fast to reply to any questions or concerns. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. The place is fantastic. 10 out of 10!

Men time

Nice fishing dock. Caught some red fish. Plug on wall by fridge does not work and light above sink not working. Be nice if TV in living room had Utube channel or a station with local stations. Plan on staying there again though. Overall great place to stay if you like to fish.

The most relaxing vacation ever!

I can’t say enough about our host. When we arrived at the home, the inside temp of the home was 85 and 100 outside temp. After contacting John, he said he’d have someone there first thing in the morning and offered us several other options for homes on Dauphin Island. He said we could stay at one of the other ones for the night or for the rest of the week. He also left open the option to come back to the Port Royal house for fishing. We ended up staying at his home on Bridge view which sat on the bay and was one block from the beach. The home was larger than the Port Royal home and closer to the beach. So it worked at well for us. John called to let us know he was putting a new HVAC unit in Port Royal and we were again welcome to use either home. We couldn’t have been treated better. Thank you so much John!!

Pass on this place

Want to spend a week in a outdated home with multiple housing violations? How about having no working Wi-Fi, washing machine or range hood? Maybe you like the possibility of falling through the deck or being electrocuted with the outlets hanging out of the wall. If that’s the case this place is for you. Total slum lord of a daulphin island home…. Move on to any other location.

Great little place to stay

Daulphin Island and Port Royal is a great place to stay, unwind, and recharge. Mr. Reeves is great. The house was plenty big enough for us and the fishing was spot on 30 ft from the back door.

Perfect for our family of four!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Royal Lagoon!! The house was exactly as described and perfect for our family of four. There is not a bad view on the property. You have Bay views from the carport, the deck, the dock (obviously), the sofa, the kitchen, and the bedrooms!! Literally everywhere you go, with the exception of the restroom, you look out over the water. Out under the deck is a great space, including high chairs, a hammock, and a porch swing. The property is ideal for fishing! My husband and boys fished all day, everyday. We saw a dolphin at sunset and they even caught a small shark! Inside is very comfortable and the kitchen is fully operational. Our son suffers from food allergies, so we cooked our meals all week. The house is smack dab in the middle of three public beaches and the neighbors are very friendly. And last but not least, the property owner is fantastic! He's prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and overall a joy to communicate with. We loved our chill fishing vacation and will definitely book again if returning to Dauphin Island!!

Great location!

We’ve been coming to the island for years but this is the first time we stayed on the island. We couldn’t have chosen a better place. The description is exactly what you get. It’s a comfortable place to lay your head. But the view, now that is something special! We watched the sunsets every night from the dock while fishing. It was fantastic! We saw so many neat things swimming past us, including dolphins every day! So neat, esp for our son! The neighbors are awesome, def make sure to say hi! The owner was perfect to work with! Thank you again! We loved every minute!

Fisherwomen on deck!

I experienced the best sunrises and sunsets ever! This is a fisherman's paradise. Comfortable beds. Adequate kitchen. Unbeatable views from the deck and dock. I'd like to suggest an upgrade on the sleeper sofa and the tv/internet situation. We came to fish and I bought my tablet and streamed movies so not a huge deal breaker. The sleeper sofa was quite dated and there were cable issues, loose cords and plugs looked like a fire hazard. The deck was a great spot for sun bathing, feeding our seagull, pelican and heron friends and passing boats. I stepped on a few nails that needed hammering down. A new deck might be in order soon. Awesome neighbors who took us out on their pontoon and assisted my mother with her big catches. We caught croaker, sand mullet, catfish and trout! Best fish fry ever! All in all we would return.
