Family vacation
Enjoyed the dock! Was such a wonderful get away - we took our hammocks and tied them up on the dock and relaxed. The mosquitoes were the only negative part - make sure to take bug spray. The house had everything we needed and was roomy. We enjoyed playing games around the table. We saw dolphins from the dock several days and enjoyed the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. It was very quiet and relaxing. Also, our grand pup enjoyed the trip, too. Wonderful time overall!

Just the two of us
We had a wonderful stay at fishbones. The house is great. It is in a perfect spot. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. My husband fished a lot off the dock. We saw dolphins. It was very peaceful even though we had neighbors on both sides. We only used the both level of the house and only one of the bedrooms. The bed was very comfortable.. The back deck has a picnic table and a lot of comfortable seats. We will definitely be back to stay at this house. Deborah our host was awesome. So easy to work and communicate with. Thanks for everything.

Lived Up to the Expectation
I had my in-laws visiting from Germany for a quick trip to celebrate my husband's birthday. I wanted to find a quiet spot where I could bring my dog but yet enjoy the outdoors. This house/location looked to be perfect and it was! The Germans were very impressed and said so quite often. There was an issue with the heat not working the first night but Deborah, the PM, was on it and had it fixed as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend this property and we will be coming back again. Melissa

Another wonderful stay at Fish Bones!
We love staying at Fish Bones. Itā€™s a perfect location for families who like to fish and play in the Sound/Bay but still have easy/deeded access to the beautiful beaches and gorgeous waters of the Gulf. We love the amazing sunset views, watching dolphins frolic, flying kites, trapping blue crabs in the provided crab traps, and seeing how many hermit crabs we can find. (We release all the crabs so theyā€™ll, perhaps, be around for the next lucky guests.) You canā€™t go wrong with this house, location, or fabulous host, Deborah.

Great Family Visit
This is an ideal location for a family. We visited with our 2 boys and the in-laws (6 of us total). There was more than enough space for a few more if necessary. The back porch is fantastic and the dock provided a perfect place to watch the sunset. Beach access was easy right across the street, not crowded. You can also go just up the road at the Sehoy St. access. The kitchen is fully stocked, we did plenty of cooking. The grill is excellent, a big Webber Kettle. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds. The master bedroom is nice with a large vanity and closet area. The house is bright with a lot of open space upstairs and down. Very nice place and will definitely come back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a bay side beach house, and it was a delightful experience that I am eager to share. From the tranquil surroundings to the comfortable accommodations, this beach house provided a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The location of the beach house was simply stunning. Situated on the shores of a picturesque bay, it offered breathtaking views of the water and the distant coastline. The peaceful atmosphere was a welcome respite, allowing for quiet contemplation and relaxation. The private beach access was a definite highlight, providing the opportunity for leisurely walks along the shore and enjoying the soothing sounds of lapping waves. The beach house itself was charming and well-maintained. The interior had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with tasteful beach-themed decor that added to the overall ambiance. The living spaces were comfortable and spacious, providing a perfect gathering place for family. The bedrooms were clean and cozy, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of beachside activities. One of the highlights of the bay side beach house was the outdoor area. The spacious deck offered panoramic views of the bay, and it was the ideal spot for enjoying morning coffee or evening cocktails while watching the sunset paint the sky with vibrant hues If you are seeking a peaceful getaway by the bay, this beach house is certainly worth considering.

Property was not ready for our scheduled arrival
We arrived at the house right at our pre-scheduled arrival time to find a large truck & trailer blocking the driveway access, so we had to go through a sandy area to get up to the house and almost got stuck. We went inside the house and there was a maintenance person working on unpackaging artwork and had boxes & trash in the floor blocking our path to the kitchen and we just purchased some groceries that needed to go into the refrigerator & freezer. I asked him to clear us a safe path and he did and he worked on cleaning up the mess. He said he would stop working on the project, but needed more time in the house to get the artwork stored temporarily in an upstairs bedroom closet. My main message to the property management group, don't schedule non-urgent work at a house like hanging artwork when you have guests scheduled to check-in. We drove almost 6 hours to get there and then had to go by the grocery store before arriving, so we just wanted a house that was ready for our arrival. Later that evening, we discovered that the house did not have hot water. There were cleaning people and a maintenance person at the house earlier that day and no one reported no hot water. I will say, that the property manager took the issue seriously and had the maintenance person come back to the house that evening and after a couple of hours of being there, he was able to fix the issue on the same day it was discovered. Overall the rest of the stay was good and we enjoyed the house and dock, but the experiences on the arrival day could been prevented by not having someone in the house in the process of hanging artwork when the guests were scheduled to arrive. We are frequent renters of houses on Dauphin Island over the past 13 years and I have never experienced this type of issue before in renting previous houses.

Beautiful location, very dog-friendly
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious enough for our family to spread out comfortably so kids and adults could do their own thing. We loved the deck overlooking the Sound and we especially loved the dock where our group had a great fishing experience with lots of catches. The kids loved walking in the sand at night looking for crabs. During the day we loved going to the gulf side, which was pretty convenient. The laundry room and pantry area were handy and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots and pans and utensils. The dog sheets they supplied were great for covering couches and shaking off sand each evening before we settled in for games or tv. The dogs loved the outdoors areas and it was perfect for them. The place was very dog-friendly and well set-up for them, which was important to us. Things to know: The water at the dock and on the deck at the house was not functioning so cleaning fish and bait areas was difficult. The handy man was very friendly and said he would fix it so it may be fixed by now. The upstairs living room was a fun and comfortable place to hang out with really nice views, but the window in the upstairs main bedroom was almost falling out and was taped to the frame. We had a wind storm and it rattled in a disconcerting manner all night. We wish they would update their photos so people could better tell what furnishings are in place indoors and on the deck. Overall, our experience was very good and our whole group said we would definitely stay there again.
