About this house rental
POOL with great deck and screened porch.
Cant decide between the Sound and the Gulf side? Get both if you stay here at Whale Tales. Private sandy bay beach out the back door and Gulf beach access at end of the driveway.
2 Masters — 4 bedrooms, 3 baths. Spacious Architect-designed open floor plan with high ceilings. Very private on 1.25 acres of land. Huge windows with bay views everywhere in the living space. Well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and commercial size Ice Machine (250 lbs. storage and 360 lbs. of ice made per day!!). Free wifi internet & 4 large Smart TVs. Huge screened-in deck off living room with covered area and two outdoor showers downstairs. Plenty of chairs and lounges on the decks along with gas grill. In ground adjustable basketball goal out front.
The private pier is 150 ft long with a lower dock at the end to crab, fish, swim, and dock your boat. Pole holders are mounted everywhere. Super bright lights for night fishing.
Bedrooms: King, King, Full + Twin Bunkbed, 2 Twin Bunkbeds. All bedrooms have large walk-in closet.
Luxurious upstairs private master suite has its own living room, huge walk in shower, and private deck overlooking the Sound.
The second Master bedroom is on the main level and has a King bed, TV, and private full bath.
Also on the main level are two more spacious bedrooms. One with a Full and Twin Bunkbed. The other has a pair of Twin bunkbeds. Between them is a large bathroom with double vanities and separated (by doors) toilet and shower rooms.
This is a great spot on the Island where you can see dolphins, foxes, herons, pelicans, osprey, all the sea life, and more without ever leaving the property.
Turnover Day is typically Saturday: The vast majority of rentals on this island are weekly with check-in/check-out on Saturdays. In order to avoid interruption of the norm (and avoid turning our calendar into a jigsaw puzzle), we may choose not to accept short stays or reservations that don't begin or end on a Saturday.
Pet Friendly - dog fee $25/night per dog.

The dock was a little wobbly and needs a little TLC. Would have been great to have a cutting table to cut bait. Loved that it was covered. The inside there was a leak in the kitchen from the vent in the ceiling. Other than those things we really enjoyed our stay.

Our family vacation (parents kids 13yo & 10yo grandparents) was really amazing! This is our 4th time vacationing on Dauphin Island. We chose this property specifically for it's large (partially screened in) deck, a large pool, a covered dock, and clear pathway to the beach. We always discuss what we "want" next time and this property checked every box. Additionally we liked that the entry stairs were tucked under the house and that the house sits on a concreat pad, which makes parking, loading & unloading, storing beach stuff and taking our pet out more convenient. We appreciated the 2 outdoor showers and conveniently placed water hoses. Having an ice machine was great, as was the provided kayaks and pool toys. The house, bed linens, and towels were clean. The porch, rails, and dock felt safe. We did notice some minor deferred maintenance items (mostly some patch work and some needed painting inside) but nothing that affected our use or enjoyment of the property. Our only constructive suggestion is the kitchen cabinets need to be inventoried and reorganized. There were enough kitchen/cooking items, plates, cups, and silverware available but it was obvious some past renters didn't take care of the provided items and/or put things away randomly. We really enjoyed our stay at Whale Tales and will absolutely be back! Shout out to owners for sharing such a lovely place to make memories.

The inside of the home is nice overall, but it could definitely use a more thorough cleaning. The pots and pans are outdated and in poor condition, making them difficult to use.The upstairs master bathroom looks luxurious at first glance, but the experience was disappointing — the shower had very low water pressure and the water never got more than lukewarm.Unfortunately, the exterior of the property is quite rundown. The dock, which was a major selling point for us, is unsafe and unusable, as it is missing several support pieces underneath. The upstairs deck also feels unstable, and the furniture on it is completely rusted.Additionally, there was trash scattered throughout the yard, which took away from the overall experience.
