Had a great time! Beautiful sunsets seen from the back porch. Watched dolphins swim right in front of the house. House was comfortable, clean, and accommodating. We have been visiting Dauphin island for years and this was one of the best homes we have stayed in. Fishing and crabbing was hot. Wish the house had a water hose underneath for cleaning fish and chairs and such. But that was the only issue. Host was very communicative as well. We had fantastic trip.

This is one of the best properties I have stayed in on the island. It is 20 steps up (for those with worn joints who count) which is a few less than many. The house was clean and pretty much everything we needed for cooking was in the cabinets. Four bedrooms with two Jack and Jill bathrooms. All the appliances and the a/c worked. There are a couple of swings under the house as well as a pair of kayaks and an inflatable raft. The house is technically located on the bay but is actually equidistant between the bay and the gulf. You do have to cross the road to access the gulf, but this is no problem. The week we were there, the waves on the gulf side caused red flag conditions, discouraging swimming. The bay side was much calmer and was our go to for playing in the ocean. The bay side has a small beach and the best sunrises and sunsets. The water on the bay side was not only calmer, but also clearer. The Dauphin Island wildlife area is literally steps west on the bay side if you like to go on a quick hike, maybe see some foxes. Overall this is great property for a couple or small family. Pet friendly too. Our mini dachshund loved the bay. There is good fishing in the bay if you have an angler in the bunch. I would recommend this place. Beautiful house, great location, and excellent communication with the hosts.
