Marisol - Gulf front living on Dauphin Island! Overlook your own beachfront!

House was ok, but needs a lot of TLC. Windows either don’t open or the blinds are broken. Screens are rusted out. Beds are stiff, janky & unstable. Door do not properly latch. Outdoor furniture was HORRIFIC. Listing showed an outdoor dining table with chairs, Adirondack chairs & chaise lounges - all the biggest reason we booked this property… NONE of the outdoor furniture was there. They had 2 extremely uncomfortable chairs with a side table, a rusted out dining table & 3 “barstools” at a makeshift counter. When DIBR was contacted regarding outdoor seating for a disabled person in our party, our needs were disregarded & told that furniture can change at any tim, without notice. 4 rusty, unsafe dining chairs were brought the next day & we were told they would be back with chaise lounges, but they never came. A member of our family got a cut & needed a bandaid, but the first aid kit was completely empty with the exception of some trash & a few alcohol pads. We are in no hurry to rent from Dauphin Island Beach Rentals again, that’s for sure.

Beautiful setting and great beach access. Four years ago we stayed and everything was perfect. Several areas needed repairs and the rental company addressed the issues.

The house was perfect for our family! Our friends stayed next door as well. We had a great time, loved being right on the beach, we will be back next year!

Awesome house, also location. The house was very good. It was a very nice beach in a very quiet neighborhood. The only drawback is the house could stand a very good off-season deep cleaning. I’m not sure if we just hit it at a bad time but it needs a thorough cleaning and also a few repairs. Would likely rebook this house for next year if we go back to Dauphin island.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful beach house on Dauphin Island, and it exceeded all our expectations. The location was unbeatable—situated right on the beach, we enjoyed unobstructed views of the Gulf and easy access to the shoreline.The house was exactly as depicted in the photos: clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated with coastal charm. The open-concept living area was spacious and comfortable, making it perfect for family gatherings. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease.Communication with the host was seamless—they were responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out.Overall, this beach house provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable vacation. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beachfront retreat on Dauphin Island and would gladly return in the future.

The place was great. There was just too many people with houses on the bay side coming over and setting up in front of our house all day. It was really difficult to enjoy the beach.

When we arrived the floors still had a light coating of sand. The master bath shower needs replacing, has cracks and mildew. The outside showers and faucets for washing off sand were broken and handles were rusted off and not usable. Loved the covered deck close to the water and great views, inside furniture was great, dishes, glasses and silverware was well stocked and more than what we expected. Washer and dryer were a plus to have access to use. Need to replace fry pans non stick surfaces all worn off. Beds were comfortable. Would rent again for another vacation.

Our biggest annoyance was the lack of upkeep, the list of amenities that fell short due to inattention by management. 1) Dog Gate: They advertised one, but it was rotten wood was rotten and broken into pieces, wouldn't stand. We used chairs to block the exit, but routinely had to chase our dogs around the property (which annoyed the surrounding guests). 2) The lights on the deck are so dirty (only 2 of 4 work) that they offer ZERO light. So at nighttime, you can't enjoy the balcony unless you sit in pitch darkness. 3) They have NO ADDRESS on the building. I spent an hour at arrival wandering between different homes, trying my door code, which didn't work on any. I called the company (didn't answer until 5th call) who swore there was an address but there isn't. I was at the home they told me to go to, the code wouldn't work, and after rudeness, the management team told me where to find a hidden key. On our 4th night we noticed a stain on the wood work that resembled numbers, which is where the address once was, but now the only way you could tell is by getting super close to the faded wood to see the #s. 4) We found a couple roaches and a lot of the dishes out of the cabinet were filthy, coffee was cooked onto the bottom of the coffee pot. 5) The fridge keeps nothing cold, so despite being beachfront, we had to buy ice and a cooler to keep drinks cold. 6) Instructions were hidden, we didn't find them until our last day, making basic things complicated. I could go....

Beautiful location. Home is well equipped and perfect for beach vacation.

Location was beautiful, mostly 5 stars on everything except cleanliness, fans and behind furniture was quite dirty and a roach in the kitchen area, but found it to be because of lack of help.
