Quiet home with WiFi, pool, view of water, & boardwalk to beach

Location was accurate, close to pool and beach. This is a condo and not a single standing home, several things were broken, such as the sliding glass door handle and the sink not draining - backing up as well as the dishwasher not draining, when reported to the property management on site , they did nothing . The silverware was only for 6 , no extras which was annoying. The table only had 4 suitable chairs, when the condo is advertised for 6. There were plenty of towels and having a washer and dryer in the condo was great. I think with a few updates and additions, better communication on how to get things fixed this could be a more more desirable condo.

Great place! Worked very well for our large family. It is close to the beach and the beach is beautiful.

The property is well maintained, clean and cozy. The bathrooms are small and the stand-alone shower in the main bathroom is not tall people friendly. The master bedroom is in the middle of the 2 bedrooms and has no windows and the bathroom is a tight space and not tall people friendly either. The walls are rather thin in the unit and makes privacy difficult. The kitchen is very well stocked and it has a pantry and plenty of cabinet space. The washer and dryer are nice to have in the unit, especially with kids; made it easy to keep clothes from piling up. There is only 1 pool on the property and it is rather small for such a larger property. The staff on site were very welcoming the whole week. There are a few places to eat out and get groceries but at a higher cost. The island doesn’t have a ton of activities for families in our opinion, it is a beautiful place but not our preferred location or vibe for a full week beach vacation.

Excellent exprience

It was peaceful and nice

We wish we could leave a better review but unfortunately we had a horrible experience and unsatisfactory customer service. We attempted to reach out to the local property manager and corporate. The local property manager offered to come assess two complaints (closet door and toilet) but no one would address or primary corners on cleanliness and safety. Photos of our experience were sent to local and corporate property managers, VRBO, along with local officials. Overall this unit and the property are not properly maintained for safety and cleanliness. We are surprised to read so many reviews that state otherwise about this property. After contacting customer service we immediately gathered our belongings and found somewhere else to stay. The pictures on this listing are not what you walk in to. Our experience included: Vomit (at least that's what it appears to be) on the bed skirt of the guest bedroom Electrical cover in children's bunk room not secured to the wall and leaving electrical exposed. Closet door in the bunk room fell off and about hit/knocked over our two year old son. Thick layer of dust & grim on cabinets and air vent covers. Something spilled on kitchen counter. Entry door doesn't latch and bottom portion is broken where kids can get their fingers pinched or stuck. Toilet tank not filling properly in master bath. Machete knives left outside entry way unsecured and unattended. (Assume they belong to the unit located above). The pool is poorly maintained. The fencing around the pool is rotted and falling apart. Their is a large panel of fencing that is falling down that allows for children to have access. There is no safety around the steep steps of the pool area to prevent slipping and falling. Pool rails are rusting. Beach area is very small and not maintained.

The property was in a great location and ver clean.

We had an amazing stay at A-5! Great location, relaxing, remote, fun, and peaceful. Thank you for sharing your home. We will always cherish the memories we created!

Great off the grid getaway. The beach was close. The beds were good although the master bed was small. The house smelled a bit before we got there. The pots and pans were nasty. Overall a good trip.

My best friend’s sister is retiring. We thought a week at Dauphin Island was a great getaway idea. It was a fantastic week at a really great location. Would book again, for sure.

This property does not have a king bed as listed. It's a queen in the main bedroom and looks to have been from the beginning as it's the same bed as the pictures. It feels like a case of bait and switch. If you are looking for a king bed as are a large number of searchers, this is not the place. We certainly would not have booked the property. Overall the property was fairly clean and a quiet location. The swimming pool was smaller than we thought it would be and busy, so we never ended up using it. The beach was the best part as you could find a spot and it was more peaceful than other places we have been. For a large family there wasn't even a large pot to cook things like spaghetti and other pots/pans were getting tired and flaking. Luckily, we brought our own griddle, but unfortunately we didn't have our own salt/pepper as everywhere we have ever stayed had the basics. There were only 4 dining chairs for a place that sleeps 6. We had to use beach chairs in order to seat everyone at the table. The bbq wasn't put to use as it's getting rather tired and lacked propane. We ended up not using the first door that enters into the kitchen as the locking mechanism isn't right and difficult to get latched correctly to lock. We didn't bother to call about these basic things as we wanted to spend our time on vacation and not inspecting and fixing a property.
