Trip to dolphin Island with our dog Thor he’s a black lab

Glad we got there when we did cause they had a lifetime event with the snow, but we love taking our dog for a walk on the beach. We loved getting fresh seafood at steamers. We were off-season. We enjoyed every sunset. We got a torrential rain so we got to experience why they stilts. We had fun we liked it.

Great location

For the money, great house, wonderful location. Two items with easy fixes would improve the appeal. One, clean and paint the black spot on the ceiling. Very unsightly. Two, I would not stay here again without this correct. Simply put black out curtains in the queen bedroom to buffer the light streaming in from the neighbor’s 24/7 floodlights being left on and the outside security light. I cannot sleep with the light on and that’s the way it feels! An easy fix to just add the blackout or light filtering curtains.

Great views!

We really enjoyed the stay and everything was comfortable. Any minor inconvenience that happened upon us was quickly overshadowed by the amazing location and view from the back porch. All in all we would stay here again and enjoy it all the same!

Fabulous views

We stayed for a weeked. The view to the bay is unobstructed. The beach is just a shot walk down a path. The area was quiet and the home was clean. Bring spices if you plan to cook. All appliances were in working order.

Sunset Beach

This is a nice house in a GREAT location. We had plenty of amenities for our 7 day stay. We enjoyed the private beach and lots of walks with our dog. We had good food at Captain Snappers, Island Restaurant and the carriage. We will book here again.

Nice little beach house at end of street

Was reasonable priced compared to other properties near by. It was very quiet day and night and the back deck was great for watching boats and stargazing at night. There were a few issues we didn’t bother contacting management with but overall we loved it and our stay and plan to return.

Sunset Beach

Views of the bridge are great and the sunsets are stunning. We stayed here for two weeks last year and liked it so much that we booked it for four weeks this year and have already reserved it for four weeks next year. Lots of fresh, local, oysters at local restaurants and Skinners fish market is a great place to get locally caught fish to prepare at home. Location is great and you have views of both the bay and the Gulf.

Great vacation with dogs

The house is nice though some features are a bit dated. The views are great. You get a good view to the west as there is no only another house on that side. Great sunset view from the dining room. The windows and doors have low windows which the pups loved to look out. Cleaning crew had done a great job. There were minor maintenance issues which we told management about on checkout.

Love the privacy this home offers. The beach access is amazing, sunsets from the deck are picture perfect, and being able to bring our two dogs…priceless.

Beautiful Sunsets

The house was clean with a great floor plan. The location and views were awesome. The provided parking pass gives access to various parking lots on the Gulf side. Bought and cooked lots of fresh seafood from Skinners down the road. Liked it so much, we have already booked another two weeks for next year. A great place for a relaxing vacation!

Missing chances

I have rented this house a couple times and have always enjoyed the location. This time around, there where some things that are making me rethink renting it again in the future.

Peaceful

Nice little house in a great location. Being on the Mississippi Sound was peaceful, like a cottage on a lake. Although the house needed some updates, it was fine for us. But it would of been nice to have a vacuum cleaner and a better grill. We bought a vacuum while we were there, and just used the grill as it was.

The location and beach was great. Both baths were great. However, the condition of the front and back decks was not safe. In fact, one of our party chair leg went through the back deck and through him out of the chair and on to the deck. The sofa bed had baseball size knots in the mattress. The kitchen had only one fry pan. Nothing to boil shrimp in. The floor had soft places in it. The staff I interacted with was very nice and came to the house the day of our complaint. They did repair the hole in the deck. But there should be work done before it is rented again.

Was comfortable, just needs some repairs and attention to detail.

Tub in MB is not usable, no knobs. Bug infestation. Needs a deep clean, outside doors are filthy. One towel was hung in MB, no sheets were left for sofa bed. Really needs updating.

Nice small house, good location, needs attention

Have stayed in this house several years but won’t again. Every year more things are a bit worse. Sewer smell in master bathroom for second year. Dishwasher didn’t work. Reported both items and no one came all week. Bedding needs replacing and stove doesn’t work well. Now you have to check at 3, strip beds and start laundry for them and take out all trash. I don’t mind trash but not my job on vacation to wash sheets for next guest at the price you pay to stay there.

Great location, but...

We loved the bay view and experience but this rental is not traveler focused. Floors and bathrooms were surface clean but the overall home was grimey. Dirty furniture, floor trim, cabinets, doors and light fixtures made for a less than pleasant environment. There were exposed nails on deck and stairs, a dangerously malfunctioning grill, thin pillows, dirty blankets. It's obvious this is a for profit rental with little thought for comfort. Customer service was responsive but completely dismissive. If you search this company, you will find an overall 1.5 out of 5 star rating (over 500 reviews). We will return to Daughin Island but will seek another rental home/company.

Great location. Home needs work.

This house is in such a wonderful location. You have the bay right behind the house and it’s just a sort drive to the beach. Great views from the back deck. The house was nice and clean when we arrived. Both bathrooms look to have been renovated and were nice. Good water pressure and hot water. The house is in need of repairs. There are multiple soft spots on the floor. The house sways quite a bit which can be a little unnerving. The back deck needs a lot of work. There were some exposed nails and one of the spindles also became detached when my child pushed on it. I didn’t feel totally comfortable with my small children out there. The stairs to back deck were also shaky. The beds in the house could also use replacing. If you are planning to do a lot of cooking, I would bring my own cookware. Most of the skillets were very worn/damaged. There was plenty of plates, cutlery and cooking utensils. The stove is also not great. Electric burners are uneven and a bit hard to cook on. All in all we had a great time due to the location but would not stay here again unless those things mentioned were remedied.

Had a great Christmas Vacation

This property was so cute and clean and in the perfect location at the end of the cove so the only neighbor was on one side!! Great when you have dogs and kids that love room to play. The house was very well equipped. We had all we needed. The pillows could have been better and blankets could have been in better shape but we brought our own as usual. Even at that, they were clean!! The management Texted us upon arrival to check on us and make sure everything was ok and also when the temperatures dropped below freezing to ask us to please drip water in all facets and outside water hoses. We didn’t have any issues with frozen pipes. Although the weather decided to be the coldest Christmas on record in the area we still enjoyed our stay!! The master bedroom shower is amazing!!!! My only worry was how much the house swayed in the wind (we did have some high winds during our stay) and a few “soft spots” in the living room floor. With kids and dog’s running around I felt like the house moved too much, but not enough for me to call and make any kind of complaint. We loved this little house so much that we have booked it again for next Thanksgiving. I would recommend it for any small family looking for a quite getaway! The bay is your backyard and the gulf a very short walk across the street and the back deck is perfect!!!

Do Not Rent This House

First off, I emailed the manager the day before my arrival and asked if there was a grill because the homeaway rep seemed to no speak English when I asked her. The manager said no but when I got there the grill was on the back patio just as it was in the picture so I was pissed because I could have saved money from grilling. The jacuzzi knobs were off. I assumed they took them off to keep from having to clean the jacuzzi. The WiFi didn’t work until the last day. Let’s get to the most interesting part! Just when I thought I was about to fry some chicken, the roaches came out of no where as if they were there to help me cook. And I don’t mean one or two, we’re talking 30 or more out at one time. I was so shocked and mad at the same time. I took pictures and recorded them. As a travel agent, I would have been so embarrassed to have booked this for a client. When the owner called to check on the WiFi, I told her there was a bigger problem. She asked what was it. I said ROaches and it’s a lot of them. Her reply was “uuuuoooh” so she knew about them.. this is the most discusting property that I’ve ever rented. Who goes on vacation to Roaches? My friend tried to leave a big tip. I took most of it and told her we were not leaving a tip when we are taking a chance on taking ROaches back home. This property does not need to be rented until it is bombed. Otter than the roaches, the property is very nice. If you have to unplug the router to make the WiFi work, watch out because there are plenty of roaches in it. And the kitchen smell like roaches. Thumbs down.
