We really enjoyed the location of this house, the boys loved fishing and all the kids loved playing with the paddle boards in the canal. It was a short walk to the beach. The house could probably use some minor updates, like the showers but overall it was great.

Perfect location. Short walk to the beach. Has lots of beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas). There’s 4 kayaks - 2 large and 2 small (no tandems or doubles). We used those a few times. House had some basic items supplied like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap. The deck has a gate by the steps which worked great for our dog. Restaurants nearby were limited and they had a wait often. We bought groceries and cooked a bit. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Bathtub is huge!!! Space worked well for our family with teens. Absolutely would stay again. Hope I get to!

About a half block to walk to good beach, good people, perfect for kids to play in the sand, fish and find small seashells. The canal was perfect for fishing! The boys 8-13 enjoyed it sun up to sun down, as well as the kayaking. We prepared almost all of our meals, so we enjoyed family time instead of load up and drive time.
View from back across the canal.
Entry to beach view, just across the road.
Favorite visitor! He was hopeful for a piece of shrimp bait from the boys.

Had a Great Time

We loved our stay here. The beach is right around the corner. Just a few minute walk. The deck/dock on the bay is where we spent most nights watching the sunset. The owner was very responsive to all questions and had a lot of beach gear we could use. My kids, dogs and I had a great time.

AWESOME PLACE

Our family had a wonderful time. The house was perfect and has everything you need. The location is very close to the beach. Make sure you go to the police department and get a free parking permit for the beach parking and you won’t have to walk. We caught some fish and crab in the traps(they love chicken legs). Overall it’s an awesome and beautiful place to stay!!

Enjoying our self quarantine

Although the island was closed to business during this covid time, we were able to keep safe distances from others. Kids played in the water and caught pinfish and baby shrimp. When Americans are back open for business we will be back to enjoy this spot again.

Clean, quiet, perfect location

This was our 1st experience with renting, John was very quick to respond with any questions and the property was portrayed accurately. The house and property were clean, location was great, neighborhood was quiet and just a couple minute walk to the bay or gulf beaches. My 10-12yr old loved catching crabs and fish in the canal and launch as well as the kayaks. We would love to come back next year.

Great location

We loved the location, but I think the place could use a little love and upkeep. The goal was to be at the beach and on the water so it didnt bother us too much, but the beds were not pleasant and the AC was out the first night we were there. Still loved the stay just based on the location but the house could use some love to make it a bit more comfy

Great Location, Well Stocked Kitchen

We loved being on the canal on Dauphin Island. It was easy to put our kayaks in the water and the sunset/sunrise views were great. We had a group of 8+ so the well stocked kitchen was wonderful. We used the crockpot and blender several times and there were plenty of plates, etc for our crew to use. Our biggest complaint was that the bathrooms didn't have fans that work. With only two bathrooms for 8 people, this was challenging.

Superb location

Stayed here for 5 days in March as we came to Dauphin Island on our teacher spring break. The location is superb. We enjoyed fishing in the canals and taking the 4 minute walk to the gulf multiple times a day. Really, the only negative for us was some upkeep— there was lots of garbage in the yard (I spent an hour cleaning it up one day) and the grill was so rusted out that it was unusable. We would have loved to be able to open the big windows, but either way they were nice. We love to cook and the kitchen was very well stocked. The kayaks and boat launch were a giant plus as well. The location was quiet and it was nice to be a block off the windy gulf. Overall, We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location and layout

I gave it only 3 stars because we were the first to rent it in 2022 and there were some issues with a bed and one of the bathtubs. That said, it was a great space and I am sure John will fix these things ASAP. The house was clean and the layout was great for 2 moms with kids. The kitchen was well stocked, except coffee mugs, as was the downstairs shed for beach items. There is no need to lug sand toys/buckets or body boards. We used the kayak with the seat, one was missing. I would recommend setting a cake pan of water or a bucket at the entrance as we rinsed off downstairs but still tracked in sand by the time we got upstairs. Also, if you are working the internet wasn't great but I have stayed on this island many times and it can be hit or miss wherever you stay. Overall, great place and I would stay there again!

Great house amazing location

Great house this was our first time to Dauphin Island and to use VRBO. Fishing was amazing from the canal. Home accommodations were fine. We had a couple of concerns but the owner took care of things immediately. Location location location was absolutely perfect. Best of both worlds walk across the street to the gulf or walk the same distance to the sound. Island does close down by 9 pm but that was perfectly fine with me. Crab traps and kayaks were in very good condition as well.
