Visited Dauphin Island in mid-September. We were joined by family members a few days into our stay.
The layout of the house was great, with each bedroom being situated at each corner of the house. The open floor plan allowed for all of us to be together without being too crowded.
We enjoyed being close to the beach. The deck across the back of the house was a definite plus. Many pleasant hours were spent there in the evenings, and we had a few meals on the deck as well. Love those ocean breezes!
Be mindful that the view does include the house in front of this one.
This is our second visit to Dauphin Island, the first visit was over 9 years ago. We have stayed at other locations on the Gulf, and all agreed Dauphin Island is our pick! We are looking forward to a return trip.

The only problem we had was the cockroaches on the bottom and a couple inc the house .

There were 11 (one a toddler) of us in this house for a week and we all plenty of room. We all loved the fact that each bedroom had it’s own private bathroom.
The kitchen was well stocked and the owners have provided internet in case you need to work remotely.
The beach is just a few steps off the stairs from the back deck.
This was our first visit to Dauphin Island and it is very remote. No grocery store and not many restaurants. We cooked in a few nights which is the best way to go for dinner here.
I highly recommend this house for your next stay!
The only drawback to this house is that there is no lift for your luggage or groceries. You have to carry everything up a flight of stairs to the front door. We still loved the house though.

We had the best week at Dauphin Island.
Whale of a Tale was a beautiful beach house that accommodated our family perfectly.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots/pans to cook meals and the washer and dryer was so helpful keeping up with our laundry.
The back deck was our favorite part.
So relaxing.
We spent most of our time on the porch and right down the steps at the beach.
We loved Whale of a Tale and can’t wait for our next trip back .

Beautiful house located nearly on the gulf with the water a few steps away. Well worth the money. The deck is amazing! Only thing to note is that there is a new house being built to the left of the house which partially blocks the view of the gulf. This is not reflected in some of the pictures. You still have a view through the two houses on the left and right of property, plus the wonderful sounds of the waves. We would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was extremely clean and had all that we needed. We will be back!
The house actually sits behind another home on the beach, but it did not bother us.
