Massive, gorgeous 6 bedroom gulf front house. Pet Friendly! - High Tide

While this property appears beautiful at first glance, the reality of our stay fell far short of expectations. We encountered several significant issues regarding cleanliness, maintenance, and property management:-Check-in Difficulties: We had to contact the host three separate times just to receive the door code upon arrival.-Inadequate Amenities: The kitchen was ill-equipped for our group size, lacking pots and pans large enough to prepare meals.-Cleanliness & Mold Concerns: Nearly all the provided dishes had to be rewashed by hand due to mildew and leftover residue. More alarmingly, we found what appeared to be black mold on the dishwasher, the washing machine, and the exterior doors.-Poor Maintenance: The front door knob detached completely when used, making securing and entering the property difficult. Additionally, the living room television had faulty HDMI ports, rendering the cable unwatchable due to red lines across the screen.-Lack of Management Response: We reported these urgent issues to the host and were simply told they were documented, with absolutely no action taken to resolve them during our stay.To compound an already frustrating trip, one of our vehicles was involved in a hit-and-run while parked in the property's designated parking area, requiring us to file a police report.We travel to this area annually, and this was undeniably our most disappointing rental experience in over a decade. I would strongly advise against booking this property.

Wonderful vacation home for a large family with two babies! No stairs to maneuver at bedtime – everything is on one level. There are outside steps to go down to the beach, but a retractable gate is on the deck to keep little ones safe. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets, bowls, and even a crockpot – provided everything we needed for a wonderful vacation at the beach… also quiet and non-commercial – would have been more convenient to have some sort of grocery store. But there is a small market on the island – all of our big purchases, had to be done in Mobile and then transported to the house, which is quite remote. Would recommend and will probably book again!

Great location. Beautiful view and very comfortable.

Loved the house and the location. Beautiful large home. Plenty of space for a large group. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nicely decorated and comfy beds.

Nice property in a super location. Property management company very responsive.

This beach house was exactly as stated. Plenty of room for our 10 family members. Each bedroom had plenty of room, and decorated up nicely. The beach front was amazing, beautiful white sand all the out as far as we could walk. We fished from the shore too! We had an amazing time, thank you!

This is an amazing location. If you can manage to get out of those super comfortable beds early enouph, you can see the dolphins swim by pretty close to shore. House has a brand new AC, so you can be comfortable inside on those really hot days. Would definitely rent this house again.

Our family had an amazing time at this house! The beach access can’t be beat and the management company was always quick to reply. Stocked with all the basics in the kitchen. My only recommendation, which has nothing to do with the house, is to get your groceries before getting on the island. We would definitely stay here again!

Ranging in ages from 72 years to 11 months, it was the perfect size to have everyone together in one space for movies, games, meals, etc but also give everyone space when needed. •Very clean. Very well decorated with different themes in each bedroom & bathroom [although we did have to relocate some very cute trinkets away from little fingers]. •Deck could use a little attention such as hammering down nails, nothing major. Outdoor shower location was probably the biggest negative; some still used it anyway, and some opted for the hose on the deck instead. •This is our 4th extended family vacation, and they have all been at different locations. Dauphin Island is the perfect blend of spacious yet having plenty of options for outings. We have experienced both too loud and too isolated so it was perfect. •We wish we had found it sooner and wish we could stay again, but we will need a bigger house next time with the family steadily growing in numbers & ages. •We did have to reach out to the property manager on a couple of occasions and received a prompt response. •5+ stars across the board!!

Everything was exactly as described. Location was great! House was clean!
