Dauphin Island Rest
The house was as described and Dauphin Island is unadorned and basic. Bring what you need and plan to just relax. No flashing lights but the people are very nice. No night life but a casual and restful place to spend a few days. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable.

Overall a great trip to dauphin island, thanks Joy!
Property was perfect for the price point (the price was amazing), but naturally, there are a few hiccups that come with that price level: - it is certainly not a short walk from the beach! Excercise enthusiasts may disagree with me as we estimated it was about 2 miles before you hit sand (not the ocean, but dunes THEN ocean), so be prepared to load up and drive to a public access point (not a big deal, dauphin island public beaches are awesome!) - the property definitely has some age to it. The main bedroom has shag carpet and is accompanied by a...musty? old? sour? smell. It isnt overbearing, and leaving the door open while out on the island got rid of most of it, but it was definitely still there. Everything was clean but the smell was strong. My assumption is that its just another "old house smell", as there are many of those present throughout the property. This sour smell was isolated to the main bedroom. - the bedroom sleeps WARM. If you are a warm sleeper, you'll love this property, as even with the a/c set to 65, the main bedroom will not get cooler than about 72-74. This is with the door open or closed. Other than those issues, everything worked perfectly. If you're looking to save a buck and don't mind a few tiny caveats, this property is awesome and very hassle free!!

Perfect rental and a wonderful trip!
This rental was so cute and perfect for our vacation! If you have a dog that likes to hang outside, I recommend bringing a baby gate to trap them on the porch with you. I used one of the outdoor chairs to block him in a pinch. We will definitely be back! Not to mention Dauphin Island itself was absolutely wonderful!

Great Weekend Getaway
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for us and our dogs. The pictures on the listing represent the property well, and we had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed watching the hummingbirds come to the feeder while we sat on the porch in the swing. Lovely quiet neighborhood. We will be coming back!

Restful tree house
Comfortable 2nd floor accommodations among the pines and residential neighborhood, full kitchen, strong shower, working washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, large shaded covered deck amenable to bird watching and listening, relaxing, and outdoor meals. Note; the stair steps are of maximum height and plentiful. The spacious public beach is easily accessible by foot and becomes wilder walking eastward. Pirate's Cove Bar & Grill is less than a mile down the road and Skinner's Seafood, 2 bird sanctuaries, and gift shops are close by. Cooking supplies may not fit everyone's needs and I was glad to bring my own. Internet access works well, the TV streaming options are limited, and the DVD player works fine. I contacted Joy once and she graciously responded within an hour. We would happily rent this place again.

The place is a little dated. Everything was well maintained and clean. The location is secluded and quiet. A little walk or drive to the public beach access. Overall, the rental surpassed my expectation.

First time at Dauphin Island
The house is centrally located and secluded. Minimal traffic and very little noise (except some construction work on nearby houses during the week). The house is perfect for 2 people and is pet friendly. The yard has a fence but it is falling down in some places. Unless you have an off-leash trained dog, I would recommend keeping them on a long line to go potty. My husband enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the chair. Stairs are a little hard if you have mobility issues, but they are manageable. If you're just looking for a place to stay and don't care about the fancy frilly stuff, this place is ideal. We didn't need to pay extra for fancy stuff like at other places. The house fit our needs well and I would recommend staying there again.

Overall things were good.
The house is nice, and cozy. However to our surprise there was people going under the house. The cottage was booked most of our w week stay. Im sorry but that was invasive and no getting around it! The stairs go up to the back of the house! We never dreamed that people would be there and theres no privacy at all! We did our best to not make them feel awkwardly. The house itself was fine. A hottub would be nice! The silverware and kitchen utensils are cheap and very hard to cook with! I would say new pots and pans and nice silverware. The owner was nice enough, i would book again if suggestions were addressed.

Perfect location to access public beach.
This is the second time we've stayed at this property. It's an older home nestled among tall trees, and close enough to the public beach for very easy access. The home is well-supplied and the beds are very comfortable. It's dog-friendly. And the owner is always very kind and responsive. Although the house appeared to be clean there was a musty smell, especially in the bathroom. Perhaps a deep clean is in order?

My husband and I have been staying in this little home for decades on our visits. Its perfectly located right in the middle of the island a short walk to the public beach. The location is soo quiet and peaceful. The home is stocked well and very clean. The host is precious... we feel its our home away from home each fall.. Our dogs made their 3rd trip to this house with us.. and they are home away from home too.. Excited to return next fall.

Quiet neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It is an older home, but everything I used worked fine. It just needs cosmetic and furniture updates. The backyard was nice to use for our dog especially since the other house was vacant for our week. The fence is down in a few spots though. It is a short walk to the public beach (3/4 mile to water) and a block from the bike path. Overall the house was quiet and comfortable for my son, dog and I.
