Private Pool, Gulf View Beach House - Wave Loudest

I’ll start with the positives of the house. The view is stunning with perfect beach access and location. That being said, the house itself needs a lot of work. There was a leaking window that was dripping water into an outlet on rainy days—this caused the breaker to switch. Upon investigating the smoke detector breaker had also been off. This is a huge fire hazard in itself—although the owner was quick to call an electrician and send someone out, not sure if the issue was corrected as it should be but it was corrected for the time being. The outside deck needs a lot of repair, there were many rotten spots that would dip down when stepped on. The pool heater was great when it worked continuously. The first couple of days it was hit or miss with the heater being on, the breaker for this also would kick off many times. The kitchen wasn’t stocked very well in my opinion. We had a large family staying and had to get creative when cooking some meals. The shower curtain in the master bathroom was moldy and needed to be charged. The downstairs A/C would continuously freeze up making it very hot and stuffy. There were no curtains/blinds on the downstairs windows which also made it difficult to cool the area. The water pressure upstairs was very weak making it aggravating to rinse your hair/etc. and lastly the house would rock. Someone could walk across the house and you could feel the house itself begin to rock. This made it unnerving to think the house itself was unstable.

This was our 2nd stay at Wave Loudest. It is such a beautiful home-and the location overlooking the ocean cannot be beat. We spent time on the deck, in the pool, and walking the beach every day. Dave, the concierge, is amazing. Any questions we had were answered immediately, and he went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful--and very spacious. The setup of the deck/pool area is very safe- it was easy to have the 2 year old run around outside without worrying about the pool.

We love the island! This is our second year. We arrived 30 mins before booking time and staff allowed us to enter the house early. We noticed some things around the house left uncleaned. Definitely had plenty of room to spread out for all of our party which included 9 adults.

Lovely 2 master suites, plenty of bathrooms and a great back deck for meals, coffee and watching the babies in the pool. Very comfortable house for multiple family groups

We were very pleased with the amenities of the home.

Great location. Fantastic view. Roomy.

We had a group of friends stay for Mardi Gras and the house was perfect

Such a beautiful place! The house was immaculate and so comfortable. Plenty of space for people to spread out. Dauphin Island itself is magical--we loved everything about it--great places to visit and wonderful people! We spent as much time as possible on the deck and in the heated pool. One note about the pool--be aware that if you go at the time of year we did--early January--there is only so much that can be done to keep the pool warm if the weather is less than cooperative! Dave and the DIBR staff were wonderful and very responsive. We are already planning our next trip to Wave Loudest.

house was nice, easy walk to beach

We had a wonderful time. We have stayed in this house two times before but it has been refurbished and is better! We will come back again!
