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!

The property is falling apart, health danger: dozens of live cockroaches were seen in kitchen and great room, a rail on the deck is so loose that an adult could lean on it and fall, loose deck books that little kids were walking on, toilets did not work properly in 2 bathrooms, property dirty when we arrived, I was directed to change the batteries in front door lock myself. I have pictures of all of these complaints. I paid much more than what the property was worth.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We take the cleanliness, safety, and maintenance of our property very seriously. The home is professionally cleaned and inspected between every guest to ensure it is prepared for each arrival. During your stay, no concerns regarding the cleanliness of the property, the toilets, or the deck were reported to us. Had we been made aware of these issues, we would have responded immediately to investigate and resolve them. Following your departure, the deck was inspected and any necessary maintenance was addressed. We also confirmed that all toilets are functioning properly, with no evidence of plumbing issues during or after your stay. We regret that the property did not meet your expectations. When you notified us about your concerns of seeing insects in the home, we responded immediately by contacting our licensed pest control provider as soon as they opened. A technician arrived at the property within approximately one hour to inspect and treat the home. Although the property receives routine pest control service, occasional insect activity can occur in our coastal environment, particularly during the warmer months. We take all pest-related reports seriously and work to address them as quickly as possible. Regarding the electronic door lock, we received an automated notification during your stay indicating that the batteries were running low. The batteries had been replaced prior to your arrival but unexpectedly discharged faster than anticipated. To prevent the lock from failing and creating a potential security issue before our maintenance technician could arrive, we asked if you would be willing to replace the batteries using the spare batteries provided in the home. You kindly agreed without objection. We had already ordered a replacement lock, which unfortunately did not arrive until after your departure. The lock has since been replaced. We appreciate all guest feedback, as it allows us to continually improve the experience we provide. Our team is committed to responding promptly to concerns and maintaining a safe, clean, and well-maintained property for every guest. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to address your comments.

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.

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.
