We loved our stay here! The location is so beautiful with unobstructed views of the bay. And there is plenty of sand to actually play on the bayside too! But if you want the big beach feeling, the west end beach is easy walking distance. Everyone on the island is super kind and we had great food at Captain Snappers. It was a perfect fall family getaway. Highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful clean property with excellent views. Only complaint is with Vacasa about early check-in. They said we would get a text when it was clean/ready. We drove by ourselves and noticed cleaner had left and got in early; text never came.

This property was exceptional. I hadn't been to the beach since i was a kid but wanted to celebrate a birthday on the ocean. This property did not disappoint. The house itself was clean and spacious, perfect for the 7 guests in our party. We utilized the kitchen to cook every night during our stay. The rooms were clean with no sand. The porch was awesome, especially for playing board games in the evening or reading with a view. The dock was amazing, it was a great way to relax and unwind. It was also a short walk to west end beach. We started every morning with a long walk on the beach (now I get the hype) on the bay side, spent the days on the gulf side watching the waves and playing in the water, and would end our days unwinding on the dock. I'm not sure I've ever stayed in such a perfect place. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway!

Great getaway with the grandkids

Property is clean, layer out well and beautifully situated with views of the bay and the gulf. Pier in the bay is a great place to relax with some fishing, wildlife watching and relaxing while the sun goes down.

Perfect family vacation

We stayed at this beautiful house with our 5 kids and loved everything about it. My favorite was having sunset meals on the back porch with the amazing view of the bay. The kids enjoyed walking across the street to west end beach and playing in the waves.

Wonderful home right on the beach!

We loved this beach house! Clean and well appointed. The screened in porch was our favorite thing about this place! Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short due to the tropical storm.

This home is a lovely space for R & R on Dauphin Island. It is located at the very end of West Beach bayside which provides beautiful views from both sides of the home.

Loved the quietness

My friend and I stayed here the week of Labor Day. Watching the shore birds was fun and gathering seashells during our walks on the beach. But getting to the private beach was an exercise in survival, as the mosquitoes just about packed us off! A boardwalk would have been nice, but maybe you can't put one all the way to the beach. All in all, we had a great stay and got the rest we needed. Supper at the Pirates Bar and Grill was very good. We found the goat tree and Indian mounds. The views were absolutely gorgeous. I will visit again.
