House is perfect for a family. Exactly what is shown and described. Clean quiet relaxing bay in the backyard. Close to everything on the island awesome beaches or stay right there and enjoy the bay. Would come back without any hesitation worth the price, clean, feel at home, and did i mention CLEAN! Thanks highly recommend your place.
Maureen is a wonderful host! She was very responsive and she has helpful information about the house and island on the fridge! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed; even a salad spinner!! Having the bay right outside the doorway was very nice and the deck is the perfect spot to watch the sun rise!
Definitely recommend!!!
The house was perfect for our family. Maureen was very easy to communicate with and a gracious host. We loved swimming and fishing off the back yard. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed. Thanks again.
We were very comfortable in this home. There were very nice touches. Our granddaughters were thrilled with the stuffed animals placed on their beds. The home was so attractively decorated. The water access was nice with benches to watch the sunset. The deck area was very comfortable! The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe there. We were disappointed that the hammock and kayak that were in the picture were not there.
We have stayed here several times before and absolutely love the house. We come to Dauphin Island to go birding during spring and/or fall migration. This house is the perfect location as it is in walking distance to two of the best hot spots on the island. And a short drive to several others.
The kitchen is well stocked and roomy. The beds comfortable. Since our last visit the stairs leading to the house entrance have been rebuilt and are much easier to use.
We will be back.
We had a blast. My boys loved the house the most. We needed to come a few weeks later to get in the ocean, but it was perfect to visit all the museums, and garden, aquarium, and so much more. The weather was great to be walking around. The fire place table is the best thing to relax to at night watching the sunset. 10 out of 10.
Great, comfortable home over looking Dauphin Island Bay. Well stocked with cooking equipment and kitchen appliances. Very clean home.
For birders you are in walking distance to the Shell Mound and Goat Tree sites.
The house was wondeful and had a beautiful view. We enjoyed how secluded we were and enjoyed the island activities. It was a beautiful home away from home.
I love this house and the location ! It’s very convenient to the beach. Quiet neighborhood which I loved ! Thank you for the sweet treats you left me and my boys ! We will definitely be back !
The property was very easy to locate in a quiet area of the island. This was our first time to ever visit the island and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The property was very clean and well kept and felt surprisingly spacious as it utilized the square footage very efficiently. We rate the property very high and will likely stay there again in the future if we can.
A few things: bring bug spray, especially if you plan on spending time outside of the house around the property, so many mosquitos. Bring extra laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags. There were only 2 packs of powdered laundry detergent, 2 rolls of TP, 1 roll of paper towels and 2 trash bags provided, not quite enough for a 6 person stay.
Again, overall we were very happy with our stay and the property.
Really nice place to stay for several days. Had a minor issue but Maureen got it taken care of promptly. King bed was comfortable. No complaints about the others from the kids. Really liked the Forts, ferry, and the USS Alabama. Beaches were nice on both ends of the island. Great view off the porch. Was really nice to sit out there.
Beautiful home and view. Very well stocked with supplies needed. Although the beds were rough. The best bed in the house is the king. The queen and the twins are very uncomfortable! We left early due to medical issues due to couch sleeping! The island is everything we expected and more!! Thank again for sharing your beautiful home!!
Property was just as the pictures showed. It was clean, bed was very comfortable. There was everything available that we needed. We enjoyed catching crab and putting our kayaks into the bay from the back yard. Very beautiful and relaxing view.
One of our favorite vrbo stays. Kids had fun catching blue crab crab and playing pool. Place was clean and decorated up cute. The deck was set up for comfy relaxing.
Our family enjoyed the beach house. You can see the water from the house and it is a very short walk to the water. Those house is large with updated bedrooms and bathrooms.
Very quiet neighborhood, off the beaten path, but also close to everything. I
Very clean well organized property and nice people to deal with. It is waterfront, but the access is difficult. The view is pretty and your real close to a bird sanctuary. We would have played cornhole but didn't find the box upstairs till we were packing to leave. Great layout for families, really enjoyed the billiards table.
Bay Watch was a perfect home for us. Close to bird watching and quiet with direct access to the bayside. Clean, comfortable and well appointed.

About the host
Hosted by Maureen Schlegel
Kurt and Maureen WE love the quiet island life !!!!
Why they chose this property
My best friend and her husband bought a condo here and we came to visit from San Diego Ca.We fell in love with this quiet little island.There are no crowds no matter when you are here if we were on the beaches in San diego it would be difficult with our 7 yr old because of the amount of people ( wall to wall) and the partying.Plus the water is so warm and calm!! Dauphin Island is like going back in time!! no crowds beautiful white sand beaches!! GREAT FOR FAMILIES!!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy the beautiful water views and the constant parade of boats.The neighborhood is quiet with lots of birds and close to the major attractions. The birding attractions are on our street!! Which I didn't know untill after we bought it!!We are a short bike ride to Fort Gaines, the Estuarium, We love the air hockey and pool tablmme and the beachy decor!!!It Just feels like home when we come over the Dauphin Island Bridge.
