Some wear and tear but nice and clean
The best part is that it is easy to find. It stands out among the other houses. It is only a short walk to the beach.

Good location, plenty of room
House location and proximity to beach (with parking pass) was great! Easy to get in and out of. Bedroom and bathroom layout worked well for our family of 4. Great family room and seating for movies and video games.

Great Location but Property could use repairs.
The location was great and it was fairly spacious but needed repairs to the floor which was slanted and a tripping hazard. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Vacasa for making our experience so easy! The home we stayed in truly had character! The "Gothic" chandelier was topic of conversation for 2 days lol from where did it come from to I bet it was in a home in Hollywood! All in all, this was truly an amazing experience. Thank you!

Excellent Short Getaway
The property is well equipped and maintained. I received my check in credentials prior to arrival and had no problems. There was a Gale force storm that lasted approximately 12 hours and did some minor damage to the house. It was extremely easy to contact the property manager to alert them to the damage.

Nice Beach House
This house was easy to find because of its unique structure. We wish the beach access had been more clear. We couldn’t walk to the public beach and it was hard to find a nearby point where we could enter. It was not a 2 minute walk maybe a 2 minute drive. The main bed was uncomfortable and needed a new mattress. There were lots of stairs which might be challenging for older and younger guests. The kitchen had everything we needed and the house was clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Tv wasn't working. We had to miss the wrestling match first time in 15 years. Tried to get a hold of host. No response. The bed upstairs was very uncomfortable. Can't wait to get back home and get in my own bed. Other than that, it was an overall comfortable stay. It was an adorable house.

Get what you pay for
It's a very old house, beds were not comfortable could feel the springs, sheets didn't feel clean at all and very scratchy cheap, the backdoor was extremely difficult to close and open thought it was going to break and definitely didn't feel safe that it was locked. The 5 spots we were allowed by the permit to park to go to the beach, 3 of them were blocked off due to construction and the 4th was too far from the house. Coffee maker was broken and no grill which we knew about but still what house doesn't provide a grill!? Definitely a the cheapest on that island but still could have been better

Unique home
Very cute pet friendly home that was easily recognizable when walking and driving. A short walk of maybe .2 or .3 to the beach. Wifi and cable worked well. Some noises could be heard d with either heater or fan at times. We enjoyed the beach and Skinners fresh seafood. You will not get check-in details until 8 am on arrival date. Appreciate Vacasa allowing pets so he could enjoy our vacation too.

No AC
Arrived with house temperature at 80. AC did not work. Temperature got up to 85. Called service for help. Could not give me a clear answer on when repair man would come. It was late when he did show and it was only a temporary fix because the following night it was so hot in the house again. Not happy with the amount of money spent to be uncomfortable. Was not offered to be moved to another property. I had children in the house sweating and miserable. Not happy.

Beautiful house!
The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. They provided little bottles of shampoo and bars of soap, as well as towels, dish soap, pots and pans etc. Just a couple things to nitpick -- when we got there, there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. We had four of us in the house for a weeks stay so we had to go out and buy more, which isn't a big deal, just a little annoying. The pots and pans were not in the best of shape, only two were useable, and a few of the lounge chairs were busted and not safe to sit in. Otherwise, everything was as described in the photographs and it was a nice pleasant place to stay. When I reached out to Vacasa via text, they also responded right away each time which is much appreciated! Thanks overall for a great experience!

Dads birthday
House was exactly as expected. It is an older home with older home issues. Furniture was very nice and comfortable, beds left a little bit to be desired.. the only big issue I had was when the code would not let us into the house and it took 15 minutes just to get in touch with someone( automated), I feel like I should have had a contact person on the island, not an automated answering service. Overall, we had a nice trip celebrating my dads 81st birthday, just wish it hadn’t been so cold…..would stay again if we are ever in the need of a home on Dauphin Island.. it’s a WONDERFUL place to be.
