Check out Audubon Bird Sanctuary and West End Public Beach, or simply walk to the beach at the other end of the island, which is 2 blocks away, when you stay at this coastal 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. Choose between the wraparound deck and shaded area underneath the house to kick back with a view of the canal and a good book, or head indoors where 4 Smart TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, and central A/C will make your family’s daily routine easy to carry out.

The place was clean and has a beautiful water view. I would give it 3 stars because there was bare minimum items such as toilet paper, kitchen utensils/ cookware and some bugs in the kitchen area. We had a hard time with the getting the internet to work and on rainy days we would have liked to use the smart TV for entertainment for our kids. There were some items that needed to be repaired such as cracks in the ceiling, and other small cosmetic damages that needed attention that would have made it closer to a 4 to 5 star rating. Overall, it served its purpose and we enjoyed our time there.

Very clean and cozy. Superbly stocked!! Great views and a great quiet neighborhood. Everyone in my party enjoyed the stay. Easy check in/out process. Highly recommend.

We stayed in mid June 2024 with a party of 8. Our original VRBO was cancelled last minute and very few options were left on the island.
Positives:
The location was very convenient to all places and beaches to visit on Dauphin Island. The front porch view of the small marina was beautiful.
The space itself was spacious for a family of 8.
Eric, the Guest Contact was extremely quick to respond to all of my questions days before and while we were at the property.
Well stocked kitchen appliances, utensils, towels, washer and dryer, and the essentials. Living room and patio furniture were a favorite gathering place.
Very quiet neighborhood and overall family friendly.
Neutral:
The instructions to WiFi was not clearly communicated on email or in house, although Eric was quick to respond and we got it set up quickly.
Negatives:
The house needs a lot of updates, so I won't go into every one, but will highlight a few that stuck out like sore thumbs.
The floors were uneven and we questiones it's stability.
The porch wood seemed to be rotting in some areas.
The Queen bed needs to be replaced, there was a huge pit/cave on the right side of the bed.
Bathrooms need a severe facelift!
Roach problem - Eric was contacted and he said a pest company will come out to treat.
We loved the area and appreciated this space because of last minute cancellations from another VRBO host. However, if we return in the future, we will be staying elsewhere.

Hi Sue, we genuinely appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is extremely important to us. We have shared your comments with the homeowner, who would like to address the following concerns:
- While we strive to accommodate all guests' comfort preferences, we understand that mattress comfort is subjective. We regret that the mattress did not meet your expectations and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
- Regarding your mention of bugs, we have the house on a quarterly treatment plan. The insect you encountered was a palmetto bug, which is native to the coastal area and tends to enter homes during rainy weather. We apologize for any discomfort this may have caused.
- We are pleased to hear that you found the location convenient and enjoyed the proximity to Dauphin Island’s attractions and beaches. Additionally, we agree that the front porch view of the small marina is indeed beautiful.

We are committed to making necessary enhancements to ensure the best possible experiences for our guests. Thank you for sharing your insights and allowing us the opportunity to address these concerns.
Overall a wonderful stay. Kitchen very well equipped and house was fairly clean, and comfy. Suggest leaving a few more garbage bags, TP, and paper towels for groups of 5. We'd do it again
