Good place to stay.

The only thing I would fix is to have staff to make coffee. Because if you are coming in late and have not went to the store yet. maybe some little big pan. It's was a very beautiful quiet and roomy. I will rent it again.

Great stay.

We absolutely loved staying here! It's a place where me and my sister could take our mom and really spend some quality time. The house would clean and it had everything we needed! Beds were super spacious and comfortable. In September the mosquitos were alittle bad but that was everywhere. Just make sure to bring your bug spray.

Great vacation home and location.

We rented this house for a family getaway. It very comfortably accommodated our family of 6 plus 2 sets of grandparents. We loved being close to the beach and having the scenic views of the sound. The only downside was the amount of mosquitoes. Bring lots of bug spray if you plan on spending time outside near the house. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return.

Good vacation

The price-point of this beach house was adequate for the accommodations. Location was good. House was clean and we had everything we needed. Kitchen could benefit from a few items: scissors, a proper cookie sheet. We had to reconnect the dryer vent, it was venting into the house but it just needs to be re-attached more securely. The windows are probably the main complaint. They need to be replaced. Most have no screens, one had no outer frame and we had to tape the window glass to keep it from falling out, condensation builds up inside many of the windows obscuring the view outside.

Great time!

We had a great time. This house slept all 7 of us comfortably and the commons areas are spacious and comfortable. Dauphin Island is a fun, laid back, beach experience. The bayside waters were calm and warm and the west end beach is just a couple of minutes away. We’ll be back!

Short trip but was amazing

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time. The bay side was so peaceful and beautiful. It’s had a nice beach and we enjoyed fishing from there. We loved the room to spread out. Was just a short 5 min walk to the ocean side. Which was amazingly beautiful in the mornings for sunrise. The king sized beds were so comfy. The queen wasn’t as nice but still good. The kitchen island was so nice and large and we played lots of cards on the dining table. I would suggest to add a few rugs for comfort and also please take a look at some of the deck boards that need replacing. Also we saw a few ants in the downstairs bathroom. Overall we loved it and had a great time

Nice Get Away

The house and room sizes were nice. We needed a little more seating in the living room, but we just brought in chairs from the dinning room. We enjoyed the views from both decks. Overall we had a nice vacation on the island.

Perfect beach vacation

We had 9 people in our group, 6 adults and 3 teens. The house fit us all very comfortably. The beach was right out the back door! I found more shells and beach glass on our section of beach than I did anywhere else we looked. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The only issues we had were that there were no spices or anything for cooking, not even salt and pepper, but that's not a big deal, just something to be aware of. We would definitely stay here again!

Such a great house and location

This house was so perfect for our large family. If it wasn't for the affordability, we couldn't have taken a vacation this year since everything is sooo expensive. However, this house is a gem. The beds are comfortable, the rooms areba goid size, there is tons of natural light, lots of appliances, plenty of plates and drinkware. We always had hot water. It's truly a beautiful house. There was one maintenance hiccup, but property service had someone on it lickity split and so it didn't disrupt our stay. Being on the bay side was perfect for us as we love paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing. My brother lives in the area and brought a waverunner, the bay was calm enough to make that a super fun day. There is a lot of beachy area and we set up a tent for our private beach area and floated in our floaties. We had a great experience and will be back!

Pretty House but a bit rough around the edges

I love the bayside location of this house, and fact that all of the rooms have king or queen beds. The house is pretty, but the decks are in serious need of repair (salt air). The steps going up to the entryway are rough, uneven and tilted. The kitchen was woefully understocked. There were no hot pads, kitchen towels, or spices—not even salt and pepper. If you rent, come prepared with all your kitchen basics. Also, bring any beach items you might want, there are none at the house.

Bayside Beauty

We found the house very clean and comfortable, and we loved the decks and the view of the Bridge. We needed extra blankets, as well as sheets for the fold-out sleeper sofa. There were plenty of towels but not enough extra linens for the cool nights. There is a minor repair on the bed post in the larger bedroom upstairs that needs attention. but we had a wonderful stay and will come again!

Great views

Overall we had an excellent stay at this property, and the views of the bay were amazing. Our young children had an excellent time on the beach. I was slightly disappointed with the cleanliness of the property when we checked in, something that is very noticeable when traveling with my two toddlers. The house had been cleaned, countertops were clean, and beds were made. My main complaint was the floors were still rather dirty. There is a definite musty smell to the house as well. Does the view and ample bedroom space make up for this? Most likely, but I feel it's notable. We would definitely travel back to the area, not sure on if we would go to the same property.

Toiletries and sheets

My greatest concern with the property was the lack of basic toiletries like soap, toilet paper, shampoos and paper towels. In addition, extra bedding seemed non existent and pillows were old and yellow. Our arrival had two rolls of toilet paper , two mini bath soaps and two sets of travel mini shampoos and conditioners....for 7 adults. Can’t figure that one out? And a side note, the property must have had a mouse issue, because there was a large glue trap under sink area and one under a couch.

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Surf ‘n Turf! This house had all we needed for cooking all our meals at home. I especially loved being able to watch my children play on the beach while I put their lunch together. We went to the gulf side to swim a few times, and it was only a short walk. We brought hammocks and relaxed under the house at night and enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets! We recommend buying groceries at Greer’s before getting on the island and getting seafood from Skinner’s on the island. The only trouble we had was the upstairs tub leaked into the kitchen below, so we didn’t use it. Also the house next door didn’t have residents and the porch lights were on over there all day/night which meant the master bedroom was never very dark. We noticed the upstairs got very warm during the day, but we found if we shut the bedroom doors it stayed much cooler. We had such an amazing time on Dauphin Island!
