Unit 012 - Seven Shells

Call me a Karen if you wish, but this place was a dump. Here's our lovely list--Bulb in light blown over kitchen table-Living room fan/light not working at all-Coffee maker outdated with live cockroach that crawled from under it-Bathroom had barely any hand soap-TP roll just sitting on counter-No holder-Duct tape in bathroom shower to cover holes-No tvs in bedrooms-Wifi goes in and out-unable to stream apps-literally had 2 channels to choose from-Came in to 2 large dead cockroaches/water bugs in the floor-Front door hard to open and exit from inside due to wooden blinds not fitting correctly on door-blocks the handle where you cannot turn it!-No backyard patio furniture on large deck out back-Deck also needs a rebuild soon -Dog friendly property BUT huge missing part of fence where ac unit was, dog got out and ran!!!!!! Please don't list as fenced in yard and not have a complete fence!!-Lacks any personal touch whatsoever-Bedroom fans do not let you run fan without light on! Not great for hot sleepers!-Had to move bed just to plug in the 2 lamps on nightstands!-No grill brush- had to buy one and left it for the next family -Place needs some serious upgrades and TLC----No thought whatsoever put into accommodations. Honestly the only 2 positives were the A/C and location of property. Save your money and look elsewhere! I invite the rental company to stay here for 5 nights and really see what they are renting to people!

We enjoyed our stay in this small home, but it was everything we needed. Felt like a home that was lived in, and we were just passing throuhh on a journey. We appreciated the small space in a world that wants to push families apart, this felt like a place to bring them together.

Seven Shells was a great place for our little Christmas holiday! It was neat and clean, and stocked with all of the necessities. One perk which appealed to us was there were only five or six steps to climb rather than the 20-30 commonly found on stilted beach houses. We were very comfortable. Though it isn’t directly on the water, the location is very convenient to all the amenities of this lovely little town. We found there were several places of interest to visit, and also many restaurants which came highly recommended. The little grocery market had a surprising selection of necessities and more. One small disappointment was the backyard grill, which was very cheap and not cleaned. And there was a nice television in the living area, but not a lot of content was available, perhaps due to the spotty WiFi, which I guess isn’t surprising given the somewhat remote location. ACP Vacation Rentals were very helpful and provided easy instructions and information about the property. We would love to go back!

Dauphin Island is fantastic. This house is small but has great utility. The second bedroom (has a tv) mattress is a little suspect but we switched to the master bedroom and it was fine. I prefer the location (east end) as the west end is a little congested. Our location was perfect. Quiet, safe and easy access. For $10 a day you can park at east, west and middle beaches. There are four free beaches (small coves) but for $10…….. you pay once and it’s good for all the locations. The west end doesn’t allow pets. Overall though the island is very pet friendly. We wouldn’t go anywhere that discriminates against dogs - LOL. Overall, I give the entire experience an B+. The only reason it doesn’t get an A is due to the dining experiences. Pirate Pizza and Wings is fantastic along with Pirates Bar and Grill has excellent food. The others were not very good but that could be because we were there prior to when the season officially opened.

Check in/out process was a breeze due to the amazing staff! The poperty was exactly what I expected. Clean, well organized, and had all the essentials that we needed.

The property was just what we wanted, off the beach but close to numerous beach access points. We loved being on the wooded area of the island and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary and ferry were both extremely accessible. There is some construction on a massive lodge and boat shop next door so I will be interested to see what happens to this quaint, quiet street when it opens. One other issue we had was the air conditioning and washer didn't work properly, but the property management were helpful and prompt.

Very comfortable home. Very clean. Loved hanging on the front porch! Excellent staff maintain this privately owned home.

Great for kids

So lucky to have snagged this house for a last minute business trip to the island - turned family weekend vacation. It had all we needed at a great price.

Beautiful & clean home.This home is only 1 of 2 homes on the street. They are currently building a large complex at the end of the street and construction was noisy during the mornings. We would have preferred that they started working later in the morning...but what are you going to do? We loved the front porch and the company even had a fan delivered for us to enjoy. We'd love to come back next summer, hopefully when construction on the property next door is complete.
