Dauphin Island, Alabama
Southern Breeze is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, Gulf Front elevated beach house with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico. This family friendly, pet friendly rental is a place where you can expect to spend quality time with your loved ones while watching the waves roll in from an extra large partially covered gulf side deck (47'x16'). Southern Breeze has a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, etc...) and house linens (bath and hand towels, sheets, etc) are provided. The master bedroom has a King Size Bed with walkout sliding glass doors leading the gulf side deck. It has a 32' flat screen TV/DVD combo. The guest side gulf side bedroom has a King Size Bed and also has sliding glass door leading to the gulf side deck. The 2 additional bedrooms have an unobstructed view of the Mississippi Sound and is a great place to watch the barges and boat traffic go by. The rear spare bedroom on the guest side of the house has a queen size bed and a 22' flat screen TV/DVD combo mounted to the wall. The spare bedroom on the master side of the house has two twin beds, a 22' flat screen TV/DVD combo. The spare bedroom on the master side of the house is connected to the master bedroom via the jack and jill bathroom. There is additional sleeping for 2 in the living room on a futon. All rooms have independent satellite TV units.
The house is attractive and comfortable for 4 couples, with a marvelous deck overlooking beach and Gulf. However, 2 concerns give it just 4 stars: 1)The house network was unable to connect to the Internet during our stay. 2) One queen bed has a terribly noisy mattress that interfered with sleep. (There is now a new house on top of the pilings behind it, but loud noise from it is saisfactorily muffled inside the property.
We had an amazing time. Very relaxing . Would recommend this house as a perfect location vacation house. Had a bit of trouble with the refrigerator smelling of shrimp but that is no fault of the owner. Excellent communication with rental company. Highly recommend!!!!!
Loved the property and the location. Great to listen to the waves at night! A little windy some days, but loved the deck.
We had a great week on the island! Took advantage of local tourist destinations, the fort, aquarium, ferry, Bellingrath gardens and steamed cuisine. Highly recommend all the above! The house was very comfortable. Choosing to believe that previous tenants and not the cleaning crew hid the dirty frying pans, not cool. On deck grill was great. Loved the surf outside and under the house after the storm, what a delightful experience. Bring some citronella just in case the breeze dies and you want to sit on the deck. The ONLY drawback was the connectivity. Had to do a teleconference out in the empty lot. We also had difficulty with the tv in the living area. Management had someone come out right away monday morning which was good. Jiggled the cord which restored signal, pronounced a new cord was needed, but never came back. He might of come back while we were out but didn't leave a note or a new cord, so.... anyway, we had a great week and look forward to returning to the island in the future.
The house is in a great location..very close to the water so there wasn’t a hike to the beach with bags and beach toys. Enjoyed that we were able to bring our dog along. The whole island seemed pet friendly. The cleanliness of the property is where the good review ends. On initial glance, everything seemed ok. We were very much mistaken. There was trash left under the beds/furniture and enough sand/dirt for our own beach. The walls and base boards were filthy. There were thick layers of dust on the ceiling fans. Lamps hadn’t been wiped down. One of the bathrooms smelled like a urinal. The property manager was quick to respond to my call but did not correct the problem, only gave us gift cards. We didn’t need gift cards, we needed a clean place to stay.
Easter weekend, 1963, was the first visit to Dauphin Island, AL. I was 10 years old, my sister was 6 months. My family fell in love with the island. Now both of us have kept the tradition with our families and our children continue to the fourth generation. We remember when this property was built. It now is partially over the water due to a series of storms and hurricanes. The house is lovely, inviting, well stocked, we enjoyed every minute. Just a suggestion, we are now senior adults. We need better information on property accessibility, upkeep and most all storm recovery to the island and roads. We had a very difficult time getting into the house because the street and parking had not been cleared from the Dept. Hurricane Ida. Although DIBR had requested a clean up that the street this property was on the staff at DIBR came to help us carry our stuff across the sand. We still had to park on the main road making it difficult to access our car to go out. Perhaps your company could establish some policies on collaborating with the local governments doing the storm recovery.
Enjoyed listening to the waves crashing under the deck. The checking in and out process was easy. Would definitely stay here again.
Dauphine Island never disappoints. This house was perfect for us and we loved that it was right at the edge of the gulf on the west end!
We went because we had planned with our mother to see ocean in 2020 but she ended up passing away unexpectedly in 2/2021. We decided to go on with trip. We lost power for over 8bhrs but was reimbursed by the owner. Other than the roaches we had a wonderful stay.
Enjoyed ourselves
