We found the property enjoyable. The location is amazing. The views are wonderful and we loved walking down to the end of the island for the sunsets. The kitchen is hige and two or more can work in it well. The only drawbacks were that we had issues with the front door lock— the punch pad did not always work, took several tries. And there were no bars or hooks for towels, which would have been nice. All in all a great place.

This has been shared with our team for review. We also appreciate the suggestion regarding towel bars and hooks and will pass that along for consideration. Thank you again for your feedback.

The house was great.Loved the spacious kitchen. I do wish they had said we needed kitchen essentials especially if you were going to stay longer than a couple days. They do give you enough paper towels toilet paper dish dishwashing liquid etc. for doing a few dishes one or two loads of laundry and the dishwasherAlso it would be nice if they had some basic kitchen staples such as salt, pepper oil or Pam. Please make sure that if you’re planning on doing any kind of cooking or anything you can stop in Mobile ahead of time but they also do have a store on the island that has all the essentials plus more. If you want to just walk out and be on the beach then this is for you.Don’t even bother wearing shoes.Visit the aquarium in Fort while you’re there. We really enjoyed itThe restaurants were good but just a FYI they do close early. My family had a great time!!!

Winter getaway

This house is just as Is described, close to the beach. Great house for the family. Located at the west end of the island, so its very quiet. Dauphin Island is a great place to visit. Excellent beaches and plenty of very good seafood. We would rent this house again.

Easy Beach Access

The house looked exactly as the pictures showed. The location was great for families that want close beach access. We loved that the back deck didn't have steps to the beach because it stayed clean and we could really enjoy the clean deck at night.

Vacation in Paradise

The location of Beach Break is wonderful! Just steps from the water! We viewed dolphins on several occasions. The house could have been cleaner. There was grease splattered on the kitchen wall, spots on the bathroom walls, linens in the closets were just thrown on the shelves not folded, appearing to not have been cleaned, and the BBQ grill was very greasy. There were also several roaches in the living room. Very nice house, but the cleaning company could do a better job.

I'm so sorry you had issues with the cleaning. I hope you called the number on the fridge and requested that the cleaning company come back out. We want our guests to be 100% satisfied all the time so hopefully, we were able to make that happen.

The location is fabulous about 40 feet from ocean. House is large and lots of room. Loved the bright colors. However there were few things we felt could have been better. There are no curtains or blinds on the doors that lead out onto the deck. We felt a bit strange knowing the people in home in front of us could see us. The other issue was the grill on front deck of the home. It actually was so dirty looked like it had never been cleaned and there were old dirty grill utensils left out next to it. The grill was pretty gross so we chose not to use it. Carpet was pretty stained up as well.

Needs new mattresses

Since a third of the time on vacation is spent in bed, horrible beds make for horrible days especially when all of us were over 50 yo. All of the mattresses need to be replaced, they were very soft and did not have mattresses or pillow protectors, leaving many stains on the beds. There is a leak in the room with twin beds that I informed the agency about on the first day there. They stated they would inform the maintenance but no one checked on it during our stay. We put a cup under the leak to catch the water during our stay. If the beds had been better this would have been a perfect stay. The floorplan is open with two bedrooms on each side which allows for plenty of room when everyone was together.

Stacey, I am so sorry this happened. The issue with the leak was fixed. I apologize they did not get there sooner. I'm not sure what happened with this, our maintenance dept is always fast to reply with any issue. I will discuss the beds to see if we can do anything about that. Thank you for choosing DIBR.

Good Stay

Only saying good stay because the of cleanliness of the property/ the check in process. We were allowed to check in early and we get there and the code isn’t working so we had to call and wait for someone to help us get in; wasn’t a complete bummer just a little annoying. Also the cleanliness.. all of the shower curtains had black mold? Not sure what it was but gross, change those out. Bathrooms weren’t as clean as you’d think since you’re paying a hefty cleaning fee. Also all the bed sheets were dirty as well at the towels. Most of the bath towels had orange stains on them. Everywhere else was clean but the most important areas weren’t. Other than that, great stay, super close to the beach and plenty of seating for a big group like we had. Would book again, just make sure stuff is actually cleaned before the next family comes in.

Great house and location!

We really enjoyed our stay. We liked that the house was towards the end of the westend and the beach was never crowded. The house looks exactly the way it does in the pictures and was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need in regards to cooking and etc (in fact there is double of everything). Although, we are behind another house we were literally steps from the beach and had a great view of both the gulf and in front of the house the bay. Since it was a dog friendly beach we were comfortable having them with us on the beach and everyone was happy to see them. We really enjoyed it and hope to go back in the future!
