Great time on Dauphin!

We had a great time at DeSoto Landing and the house was in a great location-- quick walk to the pool and beach. The pool was nice, but the beach was amazing-- very clean and not too crowded. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to have a nice 1-week stay. Would definitely stay here again! Pat was wonderful and very easy to communicate with.

The home was clean, and the proximity at the end of a cul-de-sac to the pool, tennis courts, and beach boardwalk was excellent. Good communication with the owner too. Would recommend!

Great stay!

This was our fourth visit to Dauphin Island but first to this property. The rental was exceptionally clean and well organized and had everything we needed and more. Rental was a short walk to the beach and included a pool. We loved the screened in back deck and had lots of space for our family to spread out. We’d definitely use again when in the area. It’s our favorite place we’ve rented from!

Island Jewel

An excellent choice to experience Dauphin Island. This home is up to date, well kept and equipped for a great time. The natural landscape and privacy this development offers and promotes sets it apart from the typical beach experience(Lagniappe). The owners rental process is very professional and accomodating.

Great Family House

This was our first stay at Dauphin and won't be the last. The house was perfect for our family of 5. 3 bathrooms, beds for everyone, space to spread out inside, space to play outside, and a very short walk to the pool and beach. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is on a cul-de-sac so no traffic while the kids were outside. Fully stocked inside with a closet of beach toys downstairs Communication with the owners was great too. I wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Great property and owners

Good communication from owners. Easy check in and check out. Comfortable. Easy walk to beach. Good amenities. Two new homes being constructed nearby, one almost done, one just started but neighborhood was still very quiet. For grandchildren we wish the outdoor community pool was heated.
