Nice sound side house
Annual reunion gathering. First time at Dauphin. Nice house ant a great price. Only complaint is Vacasa’s policy of wanting payment for early checkin / late check out up to a few hours until regular time. They’d know at least 24 hrs before and seems to me like they could allow it for free sooner if no one is there and place has already been cleaned.

A nice place to stay, could use some maintenance
My family of four stayed at Two Views for four nights. The check-in process was easy with the door code provided via email the day before. The place was fairly clean, and it had almost everything we needed. There were plenty of regular bath towels and bath rugs, but no hand towels and only The kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses, cups, pots, pans, plates and bowls. We found some baking sheets that were pretty beat up, but they worked fine for what we needed. There was plenty of silverware with the exception of butter knives. The cooking utensils were adequate, and the pots and pans worked fine. The appliances in the kitchen were nice and clean, and we had dish soap, a new roll of paper towels, dishwasher pods, a new sponge, and a few dish towels to get us by. The washer and dryer were older with rust on the top of the washer, but both worked for our needs. Management provided three laundry soap pods. Both bathrooms were clean and had trial size soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and two rolls of toilet paper. The furniture inside was okay, although there were some significant stains on the sofas. The beds were fine if you don't mind firm mattresses. The outdoor dining set was really nice on the deck, but the rest of the furniture was old and faded. The deck itself could use a little updating as some of the boards were loose and rough. The location was amazing with easy access to a semi-private beach side on the bay. We'd stay here again.

The house was very nice. Our chef (Debbie) loved the spacious kitchen. The wraparound deck was my favorite place to begin and end the day. The only negative was the ice maker in fridge didn't work and the Wi-Fi definitely needs an upgrade. That aside I would definitely stay again and recommend it to my friend.

Great location and great communication!!!
Overall everything was fantastic!! Bay is right behind house in which the kids loved looking for shells and walking along the bay. Ocean is across the road. We thought the beach access areas would be a hassle but we backed our truck up almost to the ocean to unload our stuff (not a big issue at all)!! Huge deck around the house (some uncovered and some covered) with plenty of chairs and 2 picnic tables to see bay or ocean. Communication with property manager was fantastic. Our air didn’t work when we arrived but with the excellent communication with the property manager the air was fixed in less than an hour of arrival. Will definitely stay in this house in the future!!!

Comfortable and relaxing
4.5 stars. View was always uplifting but the sunsets were spectacular. Unit was fairly clean and comfy including the beds, kitchen was better than average. Eating area was small. DI is quiet and family friendly with no traffic and no crowds on beaches. 4.5 instead of 5 given because the living area and bathroom rugs did not appear or feel clean.

Wonderful place to stay for families! Bay side in back and Gulf side in front across the street. We spent time on both sides and loved each. We even saw dolphins 2 different days. A crane liked to hang out front also. The kids loved it! The gulf access is just a short 1/4 mile walk/ride down the road.

BYO-everything
The location is good and the house is cute. Look out if there’s a storm, the one that blew through when we were there shook the entire house. The beds are comfortable and sitting on the deck looking over the bay is a nice way to start and end the day. Some things that could be better to live up to previous experience and expectations: - there is absolutely nothing supplied from a kitchen/ bath perspective so be sure to pack your own napkins, salt & pepper, coffee filters, Kleenex, etc. I expected at least some of these essential items to be available as they are in a hotel. - bring your own toilet paper, the house supplied off brand is horrible - don’t forget to bring beach towels - the grill needs to be replaced, it’s too small and only two burners working - no instructions for the televisions, multiple remotes that do who knows what

Beautiful location
We loved our first trip to Dauphin Island. Great location, quiet, private. Avery few people in the beach compared to the crazy noisy beaches of gulf shores. Location took longer to get to but worth it. Only suggestion, go after Tuesday’s and before the beginning of the next week. Mondays and Tuesday’s restaurants are booked for trivia nights. Also, when they say island time, Dauphin Island is no doubt the true example. Everything is slow down there. Go with lots of time to spare! Grocery before going and try to eat at home every day as it’s nearly impossible to get in anywhere before they close!

Perfect Location
We loved our stay at Two Views. The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. There were even numerous beach toys and books for our grandchildren to use. The location is perfect. The back deck faces the bay, and it was fun to walk down to the water and collect shells. The view was spectacular, and it felt very peaceful to look out at the water. The front deck faces the ocean. You have to cross the street to get to the ocean, but the ocean is very close and a quick walk. You can see the ocean from the front deck and kitchen window. I can see why it is called Two Views. We would highly recommend a stay there.

Great house!
Great property on Dauphin Island! My family of 5 and our friends (also family of 5) really enjoyed our week at this home. The house was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is a great size and has tons of counter space. The bedrooms were all comfortable and easily fit the 10 of us. There was a pull out couch in the living room, but we brought a twin size air mattress for our 5 year old to sleep on. The view on the sound side was great and we enjoyed our own private space to enjoy the sand and water. We rented kayaks and it was great to paddle around the sound. We were bummed when we found out West End beach was closed due to a parking lot project. The house is close to this beach and the house supplied two parking passes so we could park closer to that beach. The house is missing a can opener and scissors in case you need to pack them. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the picnic table under the covered section for meals. There was a corn hole set the kids enjoyed playing with on the deck. There were some beach toys left over from previous rentals along with other odds and ends which was nice! Great place, we would stay again!

Relaxing location and well equipped house with 2 views (bay and ocean)
All in all this was a very wonderful vacation house, from the location to the views, to the amenities and decor. We could easily walk to the bay side beach and tide pool to see all the birds and crabs and even saw a dolphin. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we used the oven and stove to cook daily. Ice and water on outside of fridge worked great. Each bedroom was nice and the beds were comfortable. Barbecue grill is propane and worked great. Couches were very comfortable and there was plenty of seating around the main tv room. The kitchen being open to the tv room was great to be able to cook and still be together. Wrap around decks allowed for wonderful views. There was a lot of beach equipment to use, and plenty of outdoor tables and chairs. The swing was a romantic nice touch. There was a covered area so you could be in the shade if you wanted. I loved the outdoor shower at the entrance to the steps, as it had hot and cold water and was enclosed from outside view. Washer dryer worked great. Dishwasher and tv were good. The internet was quickly fixed by property management , and was only broken because the last guest took the modem. Air conditioning and heat worked great.

A good short stay.
It’s a two view, but across the street from ocean side. Yet the price was very high for off season, which made us expect a little closer to ocean side? It is on gulf side which isn’t terrible, but there are a lot of dead animals on the gulf side beach. Also, the key was a touch hidden in a lockbox and was a frustrating find. It rained one entire day we were there and the internet connection didn’t work during that time. Which made it a long day. Otherwise the place is clean, good size, and not far away from the ocean side beach. In the future: I’d opt for a place closer to the main, public beach- that beach was much much nicer. Would also go with a company who is more open to early check in, late check out- This company owns tons of property on this island and is likely less “people friendly” than private owners (some who we met, and expressed they’d give us a better deal than we go with early check in times)
