Clean! Beautiful house! Would definitely rent again. My only complaint is that it look like it’s on the gulf side but it’s not. I was a little disappointed with that but it was awesome anyway. The bunk beds are a little squeaky too. Overall, it was a great place and I would go stay there again.

Independence Day

The beach in front of Paws Awhile is one of the best we've found on the bay side of Dauphin Island, and the water was actually deep enough to be relatively cool most of the week. We were bothered by the standing green water in the hot tub that was likely a breeding ground for mosquitoes. If the hot tub really needs a cover on it.

This was a great location to enjoy the ocean and the bay. Also you could see the sunrise and sunset from the back porch. We enjoyed the bottom and top decks...never had to use the popup or umbrellas. The house was lovely, the refrigerator and cook top need to be replaced...lots of fridge broken shelves and the cooktop only had a few working eyes with no writing on the knobs so didnt know simmer from high. You need to cook when you stay on Dauphin Island...not many restaurants and most had a long waitlist...broken appliances make for a terrible experience.
