Awesome!

We had a great time. Heidi was wonderful and super helpful. We thought the location was perfect. Neighborhood is quiet, and walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all. House was nice and clean. Information provided was helpful (places to eat and things to do). Love that they ask you to not eat in the living area. We had great family time at the table. Puzzles and games were provided. My daughter and I enjoyed putting the puzzle together. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets and visible from the porches. We are already talking about a return. Thank you!

Our host was fantastic! She was very responsive to our questions and anything else we needed or asked. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were at home - not in a rental. My favorite part — the home was the cleanest we have ever rented through VRBO in over 10 years of using this site!! The host provided some treats which was a pleasant surprise and the kitchen was well stocked with spices, pots and pans, dishes and more. Beds were super comfortable…and we had everything we needed. The home is located a very short walk to the pool and beach making beach days a breeze! And the massive screened in back deck was a pleasant surprise! We spent many mornings with our coffee and evenings on the deck with a nightly serenade from the crawdads and bullfrogs! I highly recommend Dauphin Dream to anyone looking for a great home on Dauphin Island!
