Island Time II - Gulf-view Beach House with Heated Pool Pet-friendly

Our stay at this home was the first time in over 15 years we were able to vacation with all 4 kids and 3 of their significant others together! It was a meaningful and memorable experience we enjoyed together in this charming Beach House! The home was very clean, with plenty of towels, blankets and a lovely little heated pool! The location is absolutely wonderful, located on Dauphin Island, literally steps from the beach. Check in was a little delayed as I never received the check in info by text or email. I was able to reach the after hours assistant who was a lively lady and very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had with the house was with windows. The bedroom with the bunkbeds, we were unable to open them. The window frame in the entryway was cracked when we arrived, and seeing how it slammed open when we unlocked the window I could understand why it was cracked. Unfortunately my oldest son was not aware the window was not in good working order, nor was he aware he needed to hold onto the window when unlocking it. Subsequently the window slammed open on his left “pinky” finger, resulting in a crush injury. The property management team was very prompt to respond to our communication and sent someone out right away to secure the window. A small damper on an otherwise incredible experience and wonderful stay! Very nice house, GREAT POOL, and wonderful location with a beautiful view of the ocean. Great management team!

Excellent location. Great to have a small private pool. The vrbo host was great-there was no hairdryer at the house and it was listed as an item there so we contacted vrbo and they immediately got a hairdryer for us. Very great host Thank You VRBO!!

Loved the location and amenities. We had a few things that needed fixed or addressed and the property company was very responsive.

Awesome place. We loved it!!!

This house was perfect for our family! I have always wanted a house on the beach and this one did not disappoint! The pool was just perfect! Dauphin Island will most definitely be our new vacation destination. The laid back atmosphere was just what we needed. We can’t wait to come back!

The property is as pictured. We had a 13 month old with us and the wooden deck was a concern. Deck railing was missing a spindle and several were loose. We called maintenance and they came the next day. The deck in general needs repaired. The pool was perfect to cool off in, although small, it met our needs. The location of the property was exactly what we wanted. The island does lack in the number of places to eat, that may or may not matter to you. Keep in mind if thinking of coming to the island. Of my two adult children, one commented that it was his favorite place ever (fishing on the beach and not going far to eat) while my daughter was disappointed in the amount of restrurant selections (she is a foodie). If you want a very chill, laid back vibe, this place is for you! I would have given 5 stars, but the deck and railing are a concern.

The house itself was amazing. Easy access to the beach. The pool was heated and had a beautiful view of the gulf. The house was close to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again!

Just What we were looking for. A beach vacation with easy access to the beach. Not crowded. Took groceries and didnt have to leave the property. Everyone enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for a family get away. Will absolutely visit again!

Very disappointing. Upon arriving, the water side deck of the home needs replacing. Screws sticking up. My son in law put his foot through a rotten deck board and my grandson cut his foot on a screw sticking up. Screens on the sliding doors torn and hanging. Floors in bedrooms were dirty. Empty water bottle and popcorn underneath bed in bunk room. Coffee pot dirty. Master shower leaked the entire time and when we used the garbage disposal, a clamp came off and shot water all over the floor. Main bathroom stool was very dirty. There were 10 of us and 4 face towels. They did deliver more face towels. There are previous reviews about the deck, shower leaking, and the ceiling in the bunk room that haven't been addressed. I understand about salt water and the toll it takes on a home, but being dirty is unacceptable. Maintenance did come and repair the rotten board. Looked at the shower and looked at the garbage disposal. Didn't fix the shower, and the we had already fixed the GD because of the water leaking.
