This property was an excellent fit for our family! We had 3 couples so the 3 king sized beds worked out great. We really loved the pool, especially at night, to cool off and relax after a hot day. And the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen!

Beautiful space which quite comfortably slept 6 adults and 5 kids. Having access to kayaks for use in the calm sound waters was truly amazing. The pool, shoreline deck, and hammocks were also wonderful. The only complaint we had was the amount of stickers/sand burrs. Multiple were hidden in the blue living room rug at check in, and which I tried my best to pull out. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely choose this location again for our annual trip!

Thank you for choosing our home for your annual trip! We’re thrilled the space worked so well for your group and that everyone enjoyed the kayaks on the calm sound waters, along with the pool, shoreline deck, and hammocks. We’re sorry you found sand burrs in the living room rug at check-in. That’s not something you should have had to deal with, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to pull them out and help keep the home comfortable. We’ve shared your feedback with our housekeeping team so we can look for ways to help address this on an ongoing basis. We’d love to welcome you all back for next year’s trip!

Blue Oasis Getaway

Our stay was fabulous. The floor plan is well thought out. The private beach area on the bay side was a huge plus. We had plenty of room for everyone to gather together.

I would rent this house again hands down. Wonderful deck - comfortable beds - clean pool. The only thing you need for the kitchen is food and spices - everything else was provided. My family loved it!!

It was a smooth check in, beautiful view, clean, all the beds were absolutely comfortable, it had 2 fully accessible step in showers, and 2 tubs for kids. The pool was heated (cost extra) and felt amazing, plenty of extra anemities such as the kayaks we didnt get to enjoy it all cause the island itself had some amazing things to keep us busy. Defiantly would recommend! Seen alot of reviews about Misquotes and bugs but we didn't see anything. 4 days of straight sunshine and clear nights

Great family trip

We were a family of 10. We loved the house and the amenities. We had some bad weather and overcast days so the “heated” pool was a nice touch. Fishing wasn’t that great and the mosquitos will eat you alive! Loved the home and would stayed again. Only negative- kitchen needs more silverware and the pots and pans are in pretty bad shape.

This is a great house and location.

For a low-key multi-generational family vacation, this was a great house. We loved being on the bay and still having fairly easy access to the beach. We would definitely rent it again. The house is very well equipped. This was the best rental kitchen I've every had, and we really appreciated having plenty of bath towels, as well as beach towels. The kayaks and beach toys were a nice bonus. Our only complaint would be that the livingroom furniture was kinda grimy and the deck furniture had mildew stains. We sat on them all anyway. The pool was a nice idea, but really too chilly in March to enjoy much.

Nice for large family

We loved everything about the house and location! The only reason we wouldn’t go back would be because of the mosquitoes. They were absolutely awful and kept us from doing some activities.

Thanks for staying with us and sorry you had a fit with the mosquitos. We do have them from time to time, typically after a lot of rain. Safe travels to you, Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)

Unintended Consequences

The home is very nice and decorated well! I think there should be more amenities like basic food items ( sugar, salt/ pepper, bottled water and etc.) or personal care, like paper towels or toilet paper. The bug/ flying insects around the front door is a nuisance . I wasn’t aware that we were responsible for partial cleaning after paying the substantial cleaning fee. Removing sheets, taking out the trash and moving cans to the street, doing a load of wash , seems a little much. A map of the local area amenities would have been a big help. A better description of the home’s location, possible early arrival issues and no privacy on the back deck, due to the location of the houses along side this home. Privacy at the beach , is probably only my issue, and no one else cares about it. I realize the food issues and cleaning requirements may be a part of the Covid policy of the property management company. Regards, Taylor family

Thank you for staying with us and glad you enjoyed the home. We do ask guests to start a load of linens and the dishwasher so that we can continue to offer later check outs and earlier check-ins than would otherwise be possible. Thank you for your willingness to help. Best Regards, Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)

Wonderful winter getaway

Great experience! Beautiful house with great service from property manager. The beach was great but the weather was unexpectedly much colder!! Otherwise the stay was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 5 infants/toddlers.
