The Porches Desoto Landing- Pool, Tennis, Snowbird Heaven!! Porches Galore!

Our growing family enjoyed this location! The hime provided opportunities for us to be together or on our own as needed.

This is the third time we have stayed here with our extended family and we love it! It’s a peaceful neighborhood and beach access is a few steps away. The house has a couple beach wagons to haul your stuff, bikes, a few chairs, toys and a great place for kids to play in the sand under the house. The decks are our favorite part! We spend hours hanging out together playing games, doing puzzles and reading. The beach is beautiful and is where we spend the rest of the time, we hardly go anywhere else! Highly recommend this well stocked house with great gathering areas. Beth is very cordial and easy to communicate with.

There are plenty of games and toys for kids. We also used the beach chairs and umbrella. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances for cooking. The location is close to the pool and boardwalk. We had a view of the water which was very relaxing for our family.

Owner was very accommodating, lots of things at the house for beach and cooking and playing games .

We had 3 almost 3 year-olds and an almost 5 year old. This is the perfect property for small ones. Lots of books, riding toys and chairs for them. The walk to the pool and beach is short and having wagons to carry the provided chairs, toys and towels was fantastic.

My family travels to DI twice a year. This was our first time staying in Desoto Landing. The house was easy to find and check-in was a breeze. We had a few minor issues, but the host was responsive to messages and apologetic. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. I was comfortable with even the younger kids walking the beach, neighborhood, etc. The community areas were clean and easily accessible. The pool was never crowded, even during spring break. My only complaint is the bathroom situation. If you have 9+ people in the house, this will be an issue. There is only one bathroom that is not en suite so you could potentially have 6 or more people sharing that. And it is very small. Also anyone that sleeps upstairs (that is not in the master) has to come downstairs to use the restroom at night. Keep this in mind with children and those with limited mobility. Seating in the living room is limited to a couch, loveseat, and children’s seating. We brought chairs from the master bedroom to accommodate our group. Pretty much everything that you need in the kitchen is provided. There is a gas grill under the house as well. We cooked nearly all of our meals there. Be aware…There are a lot of rules. The welcome packet was more involved than any other place that I have ever stayed, but we had no issues complying with expectations. I was overall quite happy with the house and would definitely consider booking this place again.

The property has so much space for all of us! What a joy to explore from this central location.

Spacious home for large family gatherings. Wrap around porches on both levels provide relaxed seating options. Owner provides plenty of indoor games/movies/reading material as well as outdoor beach gear, children’s toys, and tennis equipment. Dauphin Island provides a more laid-back, quiet, and less crowded beach experience than more popular beaches nearby. Community pool and tennis court nice options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking again in the future! Thanks for everything! :)

The Porches was an ideal location for our family beach vacation. The house is convenient to everything offered on Dauphin Island. Desoto Landing offers a pool and tennis court for the children when they tire of the beach. The house is well equipped with kitchen appliances and beach equipment. This is a repeat stay at the property. We have never been disappointed.
