This house and location were perfect for our family reunion with children, spouses, and grandchildren. The people at Dauphin Island rentals were very responsive when we had something that needed attention. They even replaced the pump and motor on the hot tub because the jets would not continue to work. There were plenty of spaces for dining together including the picnic-type table in the kitchen for the children. We went to the estuarium in town and enjoyed all of the interactive activities for the children very much.

We would say that for a house of this price, the beds left something to be desired. The bunk beds (which parents and children in our family used) had very thin mattresses and were not comfortable. The dishwasher did not clean nor dry the dishes adequately. The gas grill would not heat evenly. We felt that it would be nice to have more seating in the living room given it was the only common space where everyone could gather. Only 3 of the 6 jets worked in the Jacuzzi tub in the master suite.

But overall, we were grateful for a house with a hot tub and heated pool that was very close to the beaches on both the North and South sides of the island.
