Everything about the house was great! Loved the pool table!! The only problem was a lot of trash, broken glass, rusty metal pieces along the Sound beach. One teenager cut his foot first thing, and we had to wear our shoes into the water from then on...

Our stay here was AMAZING!
We stayed at the “Salty Seahorse” from Thursday-Monday and the only thing we regret is not staying longer!! The house was absolutely perfect, the views were unbelievable, every room has a balcony which was amazing, it was very clean and accommodating for all age ranges, and we loved that it had a pool table for the days we experienced rain! We had a total of 11 people (7 adults & 4 kids) and even with all of us the house felt so spacious! We created so many lifelong memories we can’t wait to be back!! The only recommendation we have is for the tall grass out front/back to be maintained, super minor and doesn’t effect the experience. Thank you again for letting us have such a wonderful stay!

Great location and views
Our extended family spent a week over the Christmas holiday. The house is spacious and everything is fresh and new with great views of the gulf and the bay. Two issues for larger groups: 1) Noise: you could hear every step up the stairs and on the second floor downstairs plus the upstairs is open to the main living room and then noise made it impossible to enjoy two spaces at the same time for our 10 and 2) Not well stocked. There was not a pot or pan that was not scratched or wonky so we had to buy some and a lack of what we expected given many other rental experiences. For example a roll of toilet paper per room and no cleaning supplies. The house is a solid 40 minutes from a grocery store though there is a small store about 10 minutes away.

Loved our stay here
This was a beautiful house. Having the bunkroom upstairs with it's own living space with a pool table and bathroom was really nice. The gulf side porch is really nice to sit on in the morning. We spent the evening on the bay side porch. Spent time on both beaches but preferred the convenience of the bay side since there was nobody around. There are beach chairs available. Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms are beautiful.
They had lots of books, games, and puzzles.
Need to replace the coffee maker - turns off/on mulitple times during a brew. Also had some issues with the water temp in all showers. Was either too cold or too hot. Looks like they fixed a similar issue last year. I emailed the management company but no one came during our stay to fix it. On the other hand, the first day we got there, we reported no internet and they were very quick to resolve this the next morning.
We had three couples and two dogs stay in this house and it was very enjoyable for us. Would definitely stay here again if the water issue is fixed.
One minor issue - the cleaning people showed up about 10 minutes before checkout while we were still packing up. They were very nice but they came in the house with their stuff while we were still moving our stuff out. We were out on time but I would have preferred they wait in the car until we're out.
Not much to do on the island compared to other beaches but the fort was great to visit and Pirates Seafood was fantastic!
Would highly recommend this house.

Family Vacation
We enjoyed our stay. The island is beautiful . The restaurants could definitely use more staff. We had several problems with delayed or lost orders from the restaurants. With so few places to go you either wait for hours or pay the high prices at the local grocery stores to fix your own food. Very few places could even accommodate a large group of people. We had 14 family members and never once could go out to eat all together.

Beautiful Beach Getaway!
If you are looking for a large spacious, modern home to spend quality time at the beach, this is the place. Although a little on the higher price end, the home is almost brand new has a modern feel with many perks, like beach chairs, umbrellas, and ocean toys.
The property sits on the bay side of the island, it's a short walk across the street to the gulf. Although, the gulf side is beautiful, it gets very windy (to the point it is uncomfortable to sit outside) and many of the homes only have a gulf side porch. This home has large covered porches on both sides, which give you the versatility of being protected from the wind, while still enjoying being outside depending on the weather.
The pool table/TV room upstairs was a wonderful addition and helped keep our teens occupied. Had a few wonderful movie nights while enjoying the gulf breeze. The pool table is in great condition but the cues are worn out and could stand to be replaced.
The house is large and has a open concept, modern island decor and perfect for a beach getaway. Bedrooms are spacious and have comfortable mattresses and TV's in every room. The fully stocked kitchen made meals easy and enjoyable. The kitchen has a dishwasher and an icemaker in the fridge, which was a plus for enjoying a few island drinks.
My only criticism is about the electric grill on the rear deck. It is super small and would accommodate one or two people. However, trying to cook for 8-10 people became difficult. It would heat up and then immediately cool down to only around 250 degrees. We scheduled a number of grill meals and found it difficult to get through cooking. Ruined a couple of quality steaks... but did our best.
Overall the pictures of what you see, is what you get! If you are looking for a large private, quiet, beachfront retreat...this is the place for you! Will, definitely consider renting again upon our return to Dauphin Island.

Home was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Have stayed in quit a few homes only drawback was having to get extra toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. There are not many stores in close proximity to the rental and was a bit of a drawback traveling back and forth to stores while vacationing. Other than that would definitely stay again.

We cannot wait to go back. We have stayed in lots of VRBOs around the country, and this house was truly wonderful. It felt like they built the house for themselves - rather than building a "rental"...and those that have stayed before us have respected that and all treated it as you would your own home - the layout of the house is awesome. Bathrooms are great and the views are relaxing and a reminder of why you are there in the first place. We cannot wait to go back! I did not have a chance to write in the guestbook, but I am beyond grateful that this family opens their house for others to enjoy. Thank you!!!

Photos of the home were accurate. There has been a house built next door since photos were posted. There was a storm a day before we arrived, the streets we’re terribly flooded and several TVs and lights didn’t work, but that didn’t stop us from having a nice vacation.

Beautiful house!!! beautiful site!!!a few problems
Firstly. Part of our party arrived to the island and was stopped by a security officer that wanted an exact address for the property. The VBRO site used to rent property included NO street address. They did not care. The confirmation codes and check in email wasn’t enough for entrance-so a very long 30 minutes of mad texting and phone calls to management- to which they admitted knowing that an address was needed. SO ADD THAT INFORMATION TO THE CHECK IN INSTUCTIONS!!!!! Also no information that there are massive 10 ft+ tall sand piles along the street and entrance into the house was plowed out but deep ruts left part of our party hung up at the end of the driveway. Long dig out in the dark left our family exhausted and frustrated. Water heater seemed to switch hot to COLD made for several ice cold showers, some baths had good temperature control. Some did not. Electrical problems left disposal, dishwasher and 4 outlets on the sink wall inoperable. Luckily we fixed them ourselves. A huge curtain rod was pulled out of the wall on one side in the master bedroom and the cleaning crew just propped it on top of the patio door opening mechanism- so it fell on my granddaughter when she tried to open the door. So that door was unusable. We asked about an early check in - but due to cleaning from last check out it was denied, but understandable...But past guest’s dirty soap left behind the sink in master, dark hair in shower in another bath. Bagged dog poop from previous guest left on stairs. Not so understandable. Other things that are annoying - no one wants to wait on maintenance when the group is having a family Christmas celebration. The rest of the house was totally clean and new. Overall the house is stunning and the site is stunning. Due to pandemic, and season- not much open AT ALL. But we were relaxing for a beach Christmas anyway. Do not forget to stop before getting onto island for supplies. The small stores are outrageously expensive with very little supply.

Amazing Beach House
This house is gorgeous. Had all the amenities and extras. The location is great for access to the beach on the ocean as well as beach on the bay side. We spent time on both beaches everyday. Not crowded at all and we enjoyed our trip even more since we were allowed to bring our dog. We will definately be back to this house again. Owners have thought of everything for your stay. Thank you so much for a great stay.
