Great beach get away

This condo was great for our last-minute family get away. My son loved the bunk beds and we loved how it was centrally located. Would definitely here stay again.

Great experience!

We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to others. Condo was clean, well organized, fully stocked and (most importantly) bed was fitted with a nice mattress and very comfortable to sleep in. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

BEST VRBO I’ve ever had!!

The property was very clean and well put together . The thought behind each aspect of the place made for a great experience! It was close to every beach but allowed for privacy! I would stay here every year!

February on the island

It was clean and quiet. Beach is a close walk but the ocean is just a little farther. Would definitely recommend and will come back.

Worked for what we needed!

The beach house worked great for what we needed. Our contact host was super nice & great. No true complaints just comments - the floors were filthy. Our feet turned literally black from walking on the floors so I’m unsure if or when they were last cleaned. We used the swiffer that was in the closet to help, but shouldn’t have had to mop for our stay. The microwave didn’t work - but that didn’t bother us as we didn’t really need it for our short weekend stay. The host did offer to come out to fix or replace it during our stay, but we truly didn’t need it so we told her don’t worry about it but just wanted to let her know it wasn’t working. The flooring shifts in a lot of different spots. The bunk bed area is super cute! Good location not too far from beach. Quiet area.

Amazing place to stay!

Never heard of Dauphin Island before this year. Booked this place near one of our friends and it did not disappoint. The amenities were amazing, the property owner was super helpful and nice, and it was well worth the price. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a good place to stay!!

Nice quiet unit

My husband and I along with our dog had a quick anniversary and new year’s celebration here. We enjoyed exploring Dauphin Island. The unit was as listed. The dishwasher was not working but Carmen had warned us about it and supplied paper plates and plastic ware so we didn’t need to wash as many dishes.

Smelled clean

House was clean and smelled good! The bed was comfortable and had plenty of towels. There was snacks and wine. The only con was that there was no blender and my daughter wanted to make smoothies. I bought a blender and left it there for the next renters. Overall it was a great and I would definitely rent it again!

It worked for the weekend. Great communication!

Carmen was very communicative and helpful. Pros: great cold AC, nice appliances, location (playground one block away for my 5 yo), parking. Cons: The main bed in the bedroom is VERY soft and just not very comfortable (has an egg crate on top of the mattress, it seems). So soft that my husband and I kind of rolled toward the middle. There were a few lights out (above both bunk beds), and one kitchen cabinet door was about to fall off. The shower is difficult - either scalding or cold, which was challenging with a child. I think these are easy things that can be easily fixed. There are a few beach things in the bedroom closet, but I didn't know that until arrival. We drove to the beach. A map of how to access the beach (picture) would be a good thing to add to this listing.

Excellent stay!

Best stocked property we've ever stayed at! Set a completely new standard and this is the gold standard. We've stayed at properties that rented for almost 10X times this rental price that really cut every corner possible. Not this one. The property was also spotless and smelled great! Hard to beat this one...

Excellent stay

Excellent with wine and candy!! However, the contour sheets don’t fit the mattress thus in the middle of the night you have a wade of sheet under you.
