Clean and cozy cottage

No frills, pet and family friendly cottage in a lovely neighborhood near the beach. Very clean and comfortable with a covered porch that was perfect for AM coffee and rainy afternoons.

Adequate

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. Rain & tornado kept us inside for a few days. Not in property management control. However, as advertised, the beach may be within walking distance if you are in your 20's. It's a long walk-through high grass/weed and water. Wife & I in our 70's could not get to it. Only 1 day at the beach was disappointing. Also, a note on the refrigerator stated free parking at the beach if stamped by the police department which is not so, beach is not included with the signed police authorization slip. The home had everything we needed and was comfortable. It is a good deal for the price.

peaceful getaway

Enjoyed our stay on Ohara Drive. The host was easy to contact and always responded quickly. Kitchen was well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of linens in bathroom. My only complaint was the stairs but maybe that is because I am 77!! Will probably rent it again next year. It was peaceful and quiet.

Quiet spot in the neighborhood. Easy walk to the middle beach, bike anywhere on the island in minutes. 3rd or 4th stay in this property, price means we can come more often!

Good for the Price, but some issues

We loved the location (a bit off the main drag but within walking distance to the public beach). This was a lovely wooded lot, which made the porch and porch swing a bonus!. Also, the whole check in was super easy!!! Great wifi, the TV had most of what we would want but we also brought our own ROKU (which was super easy to attach to the LR and BR TVs).The pictures were a little bit misleading: The house is in need of updating and the kitchen photo leaves out the fact that the washer/dryer/water heater are all there and exposed. But honestly, that was fine.The bed was comfortable, but I suggest you bring your own pillows. Plenty of towels for showers, and the kitchen had most of the basics. If you plan to actually cook a family meal there, I would let them know to see what you may need to supplement. For our needs, it was just fine!Here is my only real complaint: The water heater provides enough water for 1 10-min shower every 3-4 hours. If you want to use that lovely tub they have, you will need to boil supplemental water in pots and pans as there is not enough hot water to actually fill the tub.That being said, we would absolutely re-book this site, especially now that we are aware.

No frills but ok

Definitely no frills, we booked this with the intention of not being in it much beyond sleeping and showering and it served us well for that. It might be time for some updating, but it’s usable and for the price, I couldn’t beat it to have our own space. Be prepared if you have younger kids, there is no cable but 31.4 is the channel for old school cartoons the internet worked fine so my teen was happy

Dauphin Island Rest

The house was as described and Dauphin Island is unadorned and basic. Bring what you need and plan to just relax. No flashing lights but the people are very nice. No night life but a casual and restful place to spend a few days. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable.

Overall a great trip to dauphin island, thanks Joy!

Property was perfect for the price point (the price was amazing), but naturally, there are a few hiccups that come with that price level: - it is certainly not a short walk from the beach! Excercise enthusiasts may disagree with me as we estimated it was about 2 miles before you hit sand (not the ocean, but dunes THEN ocean), so be prepared to load up and drive to a public access point (not a big deal, dauphin island public beaches are awesome!) - the property definitely has some age to it. The main bedroom has shag carpet and is accompanied by a...musty? old? sour? smell. It isnt overbearing, and leaving the door open while out on the island got rid of most of it, but it was definitely still there. Everything was clean but the smell was strong. My assumption is that its just another "old house smell", as there are many of those present throughout the property. This sour smell was isolated to the main bedroom. - the bedroom sleeps WARM. If you are a warm sleeper, you'll love this property, as even with the a/c set to 65, the main bedroom will not get cooler than about 72-74. This is with the door open or closed. Other than those issues, everything worked perfectly. If you're looking to save a buck and don't mind a few tiny caveats, this property is awesome and very hassle free!!

Perfect rental and a wonderful trip!

This rental was so cute and perfect for our vacation! If you have a dog that likes to hang outside, I recommend bringing a baby gate to trap them on the porch with you. I used one of the outdoor chairs to block him in a pinch. We will definitely be back! Not to mention Dauphin Island itself was absolutely wonderful!

Great Weekend Getaway

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for us and our dogs. The pictures on the listing represent the property well, and we had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed watching the hummingbirds come to the feeder while we sat on the porch in the swing. Lovely quiet neighborhood. We will be coming back!
