Gorgeous Magnolia Cottage: With Bicycles/Beach Equipment- Pet Friendly! Private!

Very clean

Wonderful Stay on Dauphin Island, AlabamaMy husband and I came for his work trip and ended up falling in love with Dauphin Island. Even in the off-season, the wide beaches, quiet atmosphere, and perfect fall weather made it much more of an enjoyable work trip.The house is in a great location and laid out beautifully — especially for families. The level of cleanliness was exceptional, truly above and beyond. Truly hard to find anything wrong.The hosts were fantastic. Communicative, kind, and incredibly patient when I made a ridiculous mistake and managed to get the house key stuck in one of the locks. With our phones and work computers inside, they came within hours, unlocked everything with zero judgment, and reassured me it was totally fine. As someone originally from South Carolina, the town felt like home — genuinely nice people, sweet tea everywhere, and fried okra on nearly every menu. Make sure you stop by the Lighthouse Bakery, their pastries are incredible. We've stayed in plenty of VRBOs with all the traveling we do, and this is one I’d recommend without hesitation.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and in a great location. Easy to get around the island. We liked the bike/walking sidewalk.

Very clean, kitchen was equipped nicely, WiFi/internet and tv worked great, all the extras for the beach, bicycles etc were great and enjoyable. Very accessible to gas stations, food, shops and Ferry was exceptional.

I was skeptical about every rating being perfect, but after staying here I also have to give it a perfect rating. The house was clean and the perfect size, Cheri was super responsive, and it was convenient to everything (but the beach is a drive, not a walk)

Such a clean, comfortable rental! It was easy to get to everything from this location, too. Our only regret was that our schedule wouldn’t allow us to stay longer! We definitely look forward to renting this property again.

This property is amazing. Easy access to everything Dauphin Island! Appreciated the updated charcoal grill and beach accessories with added ice machine. Would definitely book again. Owners are quick to respond and local. Could not ask for a better vacation get away.

Our stay at Magnolia Cottage was absolutely lovely. The home was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for making a few meals. There are 3 full bathrooms which made it nice for our family to have their own space. The walking/biking trails are great. The bikes available at the home are perfect for an evening ride around the island. The beaches are each unique. The aquarium is nearby and very cool. We all had a great time- fabulous food, laid back vibe, really enjoyed our quality time on the island!

Cherie was an excellent host and very responsive. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the proximity to the east end beach and restaurants. Would absolutely stay there again!

My family and I all enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautiful and well kept. Hosts were more than accommodating and always open to any questions or concerns.

We loved our stay! The house was clean, quiet, and had more than enough space for our family. It was a short drive to the beach and all the restaurants on Dauphin Island. We would love to return!

Very nice clean property. Was locared in a great area close to everything

The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed!

This was our first time to Dauphin Island and this was the perfect place to stay. It had everything needed from washer/dryer to the BBQ grill. It was also super clean and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. It was more than enough room for me and my son. The third bedroom with the bunkbeds went unused. This island is super small so it was very easy to access the Bird Sanctuary, the Aquarium, the West and East beaches. You don't really need to be right on the beach as I enjoyed watching people travel down the bike path, and enjoyed it myself too. We enjoyed Pirate's Pizza and visited Islanders twice as that was our favorite restaurant. The Lighthouse Bakery was super delicious too. Overall, great place to stay but you will have to be able to climb stairs. Also, you are provided two dish pods and two trash bags so you will probably need to bring your own if you are there for more than two days. The first bedroom has no way to hang clothes or unpack them on shelves or in a dresser. There is just a high top shelf in a closet. I didn't find this a problem as I just lived out of my suitcase. The ice maker downstairs was broken while we were there but the fridge makes ice. I brought my own ice cube trays so that I could use bottled water as all water has to be filtered. The water hose on the ground floor is VERY convenient for rinsing off the sand from the beach as the beaches do not have a place to rinse off. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. We loved it.

Excellent rental. This was our second time choosing this property for our Dauphin Island stay. The property sits amongst magnolia trees on the Eastern end of the island and is situated perfectly for migration viewing birders.

This property is everything and more as shown in the listing. The place is clean, beds are very comfortable and is very inviting and relaxing. The beach wagon and chairs along with the bikes are very nice addition to what comes with the property. Cheri was very responsive to any questions we had. I would recommend anyone looking for a wonderful place to get away and relax to consider this place.

Such a cute property!! We were so comfortable and really enjoyed our stay!

We’ve stayed in multiple rentals but Cherie’s place was the cleanest, especially being dog friendly. All furniture was in great condition and the beds were very comfortable. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and the kitchen was well stocked for us to make our meals. Cherie was even kind enough to bring over a pot and burner so we could make a shrimp boil. We loved the location for walks and the bikes to ride on the island. This was our first trip to Dauphin Island, and it won’t be our last. It made it even more special to have our dogs with us as it will be the last holiday season with one of them. Thank you, Cherie, for a great stay.
