About this property

BEACHES OPEN 5 Bedroom, 5 Bathroom Gulf Beach Front Home

Our ocean front property is a comfortable and roomy 5-bedroom, 5-bath home with unobstructed views and within only a few steps from the warm, inviting sand and water of the Gulf of Mexico. You can count on spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the property's porch in the aptly named "Sunset Capital of Alabama". The serenity of Dauphin Island is truly the Gulf’s best kept secret.

Decorated in a vibrant tropical style, our home is bright and cheerful with a comfortable family-friendly decor. The house comfortably sleeps 12 people with two king size bedrooms, two queen size bedrooms, and two queen size beds in the fifth bedroom. There is ample room for even the largest of families with an extra-large, open floor plan. Guests can spread out and relax in the living room, 8-person dining table, 6-person bar, or in the modern kitchen that boasts granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

Dauphin Island isn't just for relaxing; however! You can rent bikes, kayaks, and other island toys for active family-fun. Be sure to check out the very well-maintained bike trail that runs from the west end to the east end of the island. Did you know that Dauphin Island is known for its great fishing? If you're not interested in catching your own dinner, grab some take-out at Skinner's Seafood, where local fisherman bring in fresh seafood for you to take home and enjoy. It's a local's favorite!

A week of fun in the sun

We all enjoyed our time here. This place had everything we needed, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a decent 5br 5ba property for the price. Our host was very kind and helpful. We will definitely look at staying here again in the future.

Amazing

This house is so close to the beach. The view is breathtaking. It was wonderful having my coffee on the deck ever morning. Plenty of room for our family. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed to cook our meals. We will stay here again in the future.

The location was perfect! The host was great with communication. It's so nice to have shade right next to the beach. Everything inside was perfectly equipped. The deck does need work. There are some loose boards and my grandson got a splinter. Other than that, the stay was perfect!

There was mold in the showers, two shower doors wouldn't open, the couch is completely worn out and was flaking material, a choking hazard for children. The window sill was flaking material, a choking hazard for children. We found dead cockroachs, and bug boxes. The tiles were cracked, a cutting hazard for children. The deck was in serious need of repair, with tripping hazards. Very little response from the management.

Great Vacation Home

The location is perfect if you want to stay on the beach all day. The amenities are fine and the kitchen was large enough to cook for a large group. The deck definitely needs work but it did not hinder us from having a good time.

Great family getaway

Despite the unfavorable weather during some of the trip, we all still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home has a great floor plan allowing us to spread out and relax. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for preparing meals. We were disappointed there was no grill but made the best of what we had. We spent most of our time on the porch or under the house in the nice shade watching the waves roll in and our guys fishing. During the rainy days we enjoyed the aquarium and riding the ferry over to Fort Morgan. Owner was very helpful with clear and concise information on check in and check out and always available to answer any questions. We can’t wait to go back next year.

Great bang for the buck!

This property was good and served its purpose well. We had a family of 11 people stay for a week. I know it’s hard to keep the sand out but there was quite a bit when we arrived. I’d recommend the cleaning crew get a better vacuum. Other than that we had no complaints about the property itself. We had previously been to Florida a couple times and expected similar water. Definitely a difference there but we’re still able to find more than enough shells.

Beach Front Fun

This was our first trip to Dauphin Island. We absolutely loved being beach front! It was extremely convenient with having small kids with us. We did learn the hard way that when it’s windy..it’s VERY windy! We had a couple nights that the water was very high and we had vehicles stuck in the morning and stuff washed away or moved a lot due to so much sand being pushed up! Word to the wise, put things on the first level of the deck at night to be safe! The house itself was clean overall, but could use a good deep cleaning as there was dust and crumbs on baseboards and in corners. Walls could use a wash. The couch has a lot of wear..probably time for a new one. Check in was easy, as was check out. We would rent here again if we ever return!

The property was beautiful. We loved the layout of the house being family friendly. Each room had a different color scheme with aquatic theme decorations. The master bedroom and bathroom were really special with the huge tub. Being right on the beach and bay side was excellent for everyone. The children could play and the men could fish. Ashley was the contact person if we had any problems. The air conditioner unit had shut its self off because of a clogged in the line, but Ashley got right on it and got us a repair man who worked quickly to fix the problem. It was only off on one side of the house. The previous renters must have not let Ashley know that the light blue room bathtub was clogged with sand. She tried to get a plumber, but they were in high demand. Everything else was perfect. We loved the location and the house. Thank you!

A week of relaxation

This is our second stay at this home. We came down 3 years ago, and enjoyed ourselves so much that we had to do another trip! The home is perfect for our group of ladies. All 5 bedrooms have their own adjoining full bathroom, and 4 of them have their own access to the deck. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfy, and the view is spectacular! The only teeny tiny criticism I could offer is that the pillows are worn and need replacing in a few of the bedrooms, but honestly, I slept fantastic just the way they were! House was clean when we arrived, and everything was just as we remembered! Dauphin Island is truly a hidden gem, I'm almost afraid to rave about it too much for fear that it will be spoiled by masses of people and commercialism. The greatest things about the island are the lack of chain restaurants, the peaceful atmosphere, and the easy access to all the island has to offer. No crowds, and clean soft sand to relax in. It was hard to leave, so we stayed until the last moment even though the car had been packed for a few hours. There is no doubt in my mind that we'll return again. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we had a lovely time!

Great Time at Wake and Sea

I wish I could give overall a 4.5. It’s located on the west end of the beach. The house was perfect with having young children. The deck is steps from the gulf waters, but it had the perfect amount of beach in front of the house for playing. We basically had the spot to ourselves the whole week. The house was very clean when we arrived. The king size beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had the right amount of supplies needed for cooking meals. The kitchen was also very roomy for a big group and lots of seating at either the table or the bar. A couple improvements for the kitchen is that the toaster and ice maker did not work, but hopefully they can get those fixed! Also, not very many kitchen towels. Some other improvements would be the deck needs a little work. Certain parts had loose boards which made us a bit nervous with small children. Also, the picture shows a water hose for spraying off feet, but it’s just a shower head which doesn’t work the greatest. Bring your own water hose! It would be much more convenient for just feet. Also, have some sort of weather radio available. We ended up being in a tornado warning and the internet is not the greatest in that house. We also didn’t have great signal on our cell phones. Overall- we had a great experience in this house. We would stay here again. Ashley was so easy to contact about questions or concerns!

Flooded

This is a beautiful property but located in a area that is frequently flooded. We woke up to neighbors pounding on our door at 6 am saying our vans were being flooded. We had to have one towed. We got one out but had to park a mile toward town and across the street to keep it out of the flooded road area. There was already a van stuck in the high water on the road. We missed a day of a paid conference in Mobile but were happy to relax. We just couldn't go anywhere. I had alerts set on my phone and got no alert. This was not due to any rain but high waves from the huricaine that hit Florida. I checked with locals and they said that this part of the island gets flooded. The houses are on stilts but you really can't park your vehicle up far enough. We also got one van stuck in the sand near the house the first day. The sand was super soft. We had to have it pulled out with tow truck. There were no signs and no instructions where to park. You need a 4 wheel drive if you are going to stay on this part of the island. This house is beautiful and very comfortable. Just beware of flooding and where to park your vehicle. The manager did not answer her phone-she said she left it in her car all night. She was kind but said there was nothing she could do.

Family Vacay

We LOVED this property. It was perfect for our family dynamic and age ranges. We appreciated each bedroom having its own bathroom. Our favorite aspect was the beach being so close; we didn’t have to set up a tent or carry chairs back and forth each night. Very convenient with the kids. Lots to do on the island as well.

I don't recommend this property

The house wasn't clean, the ceiling over one bathtub was falling off, the window sills were warped and falling off, the deck was unsafe with many spindles only attached on one side, the list goes on. When i informed the manager she was responsive in the beginning. She said she was unaware of all the repair issues and asked for pics, which i did send. A repairman came quickly to fix the spindles we had found that needed attached. He didnt check the rest of the spindles and we found many more not safe, and we had a 2 year old that could fit thru the gaps, so we couldnt enjoy the deck. The manager did quit communicating eventually, probably because it was close to the end of our stay. The poor condition of the property didnt ruin the beach or the island for us, but it couldve added to it had it been as advertised. I never would've paid what I did for a beachfront property had i been aware. I wouldve gladly walked a short distance to the beach and had a nice place to stay. Ive stayed on the Island 3 times now and this was the only time i had a problem. Its a beautiful island with a family atmosphere
