Island Breeze – Gulf Beachside, 3 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath, Pet Friendly, Sleep 10

The house itself is nice. It is right on the beach and close to the shoreline. You can see the ocean from the deck. We spent hours watching the ocean and the Pelican's fishing. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which was a plus for us.Things that were not expected:One week before we were to arrive we got an email stating we need to provide our own beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc, and that we would get a starter kit for toilet paper and dish washing. Basically, each bathroom got 1 roll of toilet paper. There is a place you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas- we were two couples and it would have been 150 each couple for the week to rent the chairs and umbrellas. We have stayed at a lot of VRBO's on beaches and have NEVER not been provided with beach towels, chairs, and more than one roll of toilet paper. The other thing that was not great was the cleanliness of the place. It looks like the baseboards have not ever been cleaned. The middle bathroom had pee on the baseboard, and all the doors had brown marks from hand prints. It shouldn't be that hard to wipe those off after each guest. My friend said it is one thing if it is your dirt, but kind of gross when it is someone else's dirt. To sum it up, we had a good stay overall, but would not rent again.

This property is the perfect relaxation vacation for kids and families. Everything you need is a short drive away. The property is gorgeous and brand new. My family enjoyed every minute.

Loved the home, beautiful island, the management company was responsive to our needs. Highly recommend!

Super pet friendly. Comfortable and good location on the beachz

House was well appointed, but there was construction next door that blocked our view as well as was dangerous with the children being around the moving machinery, this was not pictured when we rented the property. A/C went out the first night but our agent was very quick to send out a repair as well as offered to relocate us. We did not get to enjoy the house, but may try again at a later time if the construction is not an issue.

The house was clean and as shown on the listing! The beach was private and the views were amazing. We had six adults and it was a very comfortable place to stay. There was plenty of room and easy walk to the water.

What an amazing week at an amazing property! This was our first visit to Dauphin Island, and it certainly will not be our last. The house was clean, well appointed, and perfectly laid out to enjoy every possible moment on the beach. The absolute best part was the huge gated deck that my puppy could enjoy at his leisure along with us. So many hidden gems on the island that we have yet to explore, and we can't wait to return! Thanks for the spectacular hospitality!

If you like to cook your own food and just sit and watch the water - this is the place for you.

Loved this beach house. Was perfect location and perfect accommodations.

Boardwalk Realty was easy to work with and well-organized. The house sits back from the beach but is a shirt walk with no obstructed views of the Gulf. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the covered porch. The fishing chairs on the Gulfside of the house were comfortable for watching ships, dolphins, and the waves. I gave the rating 4 stars because the mattresses on both king beds were too soft and very uncomfortable. Pirates Bar and Grill and Capt’n Snapper were two good restaurants with great views of the water. We didn’t know about the Sunday brunch at the bakery. We will do that next time!
