Sun of a Beach | Beach House with Gulf Views and pool

The house was perfect for our families. The pool was great and the beach was only 150yds from the house

Great house very clean. has everything for the kids and on the beach you would need. Very equipped with everything in the house. Cant say enough good things. Island has charm but not to busy which was perfect.

Sun of a Beach is a great place! Room for everyone, comfortable and spacious. Small pool, great outdoor space. Room for all of us at the dining room table. Great kitchen, very well equipped. Had a great time with the family.

We had a wonderful time the week of 10/19/2024. The weather was perfect and house location was incredibly close to the beach. Water was a bit cool, but with temps in the low 80's, it was enjoyable. Very few people on the beach all week. Grand kids enjoyed the heated pool. House has plenty of room. We had a couple minors issues when we arrived, but the property manager (DIR) was quick to respond. Only major issue we had was with several major rotted spots on the back deck. We were told the deck is going to be replaced in the next 4 weeks. Great time and looking forward to returning to the Island sooner than later!!!!!

Love the house! Everything was great except being blocked walking to the beach. The new house on the Gulf blocked the street walkway (his property). The path everyone was supposed to be taking has never been used. It's hard to walk in. Has a ton of sticky bushes that hurt if you step on them. We had to trespass in order to get to the beach, not get hurt or die of exhaustion. I research the walk before booking because a family member not being able to walk very well due to a stroke 4 years ago, limited movement on his left side and myself being overweight. No one was made aware of this including actual homeowners so I think this issue will be fixed once everyone gets involved and the pathway is worn down. Great house, great location, quiet and had a relaxing week away from work!

The home was perfect !!! We have been visiting dauphin island for years and stayed in several homes old and new . This was by far one of our favorites it was nicely updated and had anything you could possibly need in the kitchen. They had all the sand toys the kids could ask for . The pool is a nice touch and the pool chair’s were great . I couldn’t find anything wrong with this property except there is a house right in front and the ocean view is lacking but it’s a short walk and you have a perfect view . We would most definitely stay here again .

The house is big and beautiful. We loved the pool. The view is lacking as there’s a new house being built right in front of it. You have a view of the beach on one side of the house. It had everything you could possibly imagine in the way of kitchen utensils, pots, dishes etc. But it does need a bigger skillet and a k-cup coffee machine. Plush towels and bath mats. It has a gas grill. Even though it was a beautiful house I personally wouldn’t stay there again because the beds are like sleeping on the granite counter top. Expensive high end tempur pedic is my guess but hard as a rock. You can’t fully enjoy a vacation if you don’t sleep well. Mattress Toppers are needed!!! I would rate this house as a five star even with the obstructed view if the beds has toppers on them.

We had a slight issue with a change in the beds available, but contacted Dauphin Island Real Estate(the property manager), and they provided a solution to the issue! We had a great week and really enjoyed the house and Dauphin Island! I hope to get back for another great week of relaxation!

Me and my family stayed on the property in mid August this year. None of us had ever been to the gulf coast and we cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the trip. The Dauphin Island Real Estate handled the check-in/out process. Everyone was very friendly. Once you book and your vacation nears you download their app so they can update you with reminders, maps, and restaurant and shopping recommendations and things to do. Check in/out was easy and the office is less than a mile from this house. The house itself was very clean and well stocked! We cooked all our meals during the stay and found there to be plenty of kitchen gadgets, pans, pots, and extras. All the cooking appliances worked great and there was a charcoal grill we used often also. We enjoyed the large table for family dinners. You will need to buy or pack in your own paper products, cleaning supplies for laundry and dishwasher, and trash bags once the ones in the house are used. There was an ice maker in the kitchen island that was not working and the one in the fridge was not working either. Within 24 hours the fridge unit was fixed, but can hardly keep up with use if you are filling a cooler for the beach or the deck. The real estate people knew about the broken ice maker in the kitchen island but did not fix or offer to fix while we were present. I recommend using the stand alone ice machine across from the Circle K/ship and shore store. Only $2.50 for 16 lbs. The family room was spacious and full of games, books, places to relax, reading material, and more. There was a TV in every room except the one in the master bedroom was not functional. There are many fans and the house was kept cool by 2 air conditioning units. All bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and had linens and towels. We had plenty of space for our family of 7 to spread out. 4 bathrooms were very nice also. I was pleasantly surprised that the house had a storage area with lots of beach items. We used the chairs, pop up umbrella tent, sand toys, and games. You will need to bring your own boogie boards but they had some flotation items. There were some things that needed repair, Several light bulbs in the house and outside had burnt out. The outdoor shower needed to be repaired as the hose was very old. The shower was functional. There was repair people and a survey crew there for hours a few days which was annoying. I wish the VRBO would have told us so we could leave or ask if it was ok.

The house felt so much like home. The decor matched the beach setting without being too beachy. There was 8 of us and it was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. I noted a few things that needed attention but it didn't interfere with our positive attitude about the place. We actually felt a little sad to leave this am. We really loved the house and island.
