Very nice Condo, great size for the 6 of us. Loved the space out on the balcony, definitely didn't feel cramped at all with us all out there. Clean, and comfortable furniture with just about everything provided for your day at the beach including a wagon, chairs, tubes and even some boogie boards. Susan was a very attentive host when I had a few questions while we were there.

Beach view was beautiful. Being a little further from the beach, however the closest you can be at that point on the island, allows you to see more of it. The oil rigs offshore didn’t bother me and were interesting especially with their dim lights at night. The outdoor pool was large and fun for the family as well as the indoor pool. Both were comfortably heated. Getting around the property was easy and the walk to the beach was beautiful and enjoyable.

Great spring break!

We loved our stay on Dauphin Island. Susan was able to answer all our questions and the island was a perfect getaway. We enjoyed the beach and the quiet town. We would love to go back. We can't stop thinking about how much we enjoyed it. The condo was a great set up for us with children ages 17, 13, 13, and 11. The pools were great and we were right on the beach. I'd book it every year if I could.

Our hosts were excellent communicators and very helpful with our questions about the area. As soon as we secured our reservation, they were sending us emails about things we needed to know about the condo and local attractions. They respond to texts very quickly. We really appreciated that.We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It was my wife and I plus our four adult children. There was plenty of room for us. We did some of our own cooking while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. We always ate out on the balcony where there was a table and seating for all of us. We spent a lot of our time at the beach, which is a short walk across the dunes via a boardwalk. There is a beautiful walk along the shore to the east that leads to a small inlet where there are many birds - it would be a great place to kayak.I highly recommend this condo. We'll be coming back.
