Great!

It was a perfect blend of a free standing house (privacy) and a condo (pool and amenities). It was perfect for us and our two teens.

Clean-Comfortable-Convenient

My priority in reading reviews is to initially find three things.# 1 Are the photos and description accurate. YES, at the time of my stay.# 2 Is it clean. YES, it is clean.# 3 Is the area safe. YES, every area I explored on the island.Afterwards I read what people share.The Condo is furnished. The balcony has a wonderful view, and I spent a great deal of time relaxing looking out there. The dock was a nice place to sit and look at Mobile Bay, the birds and other wildlife. It is a very short walk to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico.The outside of the building & hallways is well lit. Beyond the condo, the Island is DARK. Sitting or walking near the water, you will need bug spray. I would like to stay here again. I escaped Mid-West Winter. The Island is QUIET. No chain restaurants, hotels or amusement parks, not many people at all. It has an abundance of kind helpful people, & an infinite supply of natural beauty along the beaches. Dauphin Island is amazingly dog friendly for leashed well behaved dogs.I found 2 services that truly enhanced my time here. “Dauphin Island Hospitality” who delivered & put away my grocery order BEFORE I arrived. And what I believe to be the SHINING STAR of this Island “Dinner’s Ready” who sells prepared meals. They made some of the BEST Southern Cooking that I have ever had, second only to my mother’s.The written description pales by the reality of the place.I am looking forward to coming back to escape Mid-Western Winter.

Great stay on Dauphin Island!

Our stay at the Blue Heron condo on the bay side of Dauphin Island was great. The property is centrally located within walking distance of several restaurants (The Carriage was fantastic with fresh non-fried options!), shops, and Central Beach. The property had great amenities like a pool, easy access to the bay, under building parking, and elevator, and more. The condo itself was spacious, clean, well-stocked, and up-to-date. We had several conversations with the locals that live in the building, enjoyed sitting on the large porch with views of the bay, and had plenty of space to relax. The couch, love seat, and big chair were comfy for lounging after a day in the sun. The WiFi was fast and the tv in the den (we don’t use the ones in the bedroom) was newer and had plenty of viewing options. And the air conditioning worked great! No complaints. Would book again for sure.

Beautiful view

The view was beautiful. Most everyone was very friendly. Everyone had dogs, which was great for me! If you dont like dogs, dont stay here. I was very disappointed with the unit not clean. Dust on all light fixtures, and baseboards, ect. Light bulbs blown in several fixtures. My family and I had a great time on the Island! It is located far enough away from the Rodeo that is a quiet and peaceful, most of the time! Cute area!

Enjoyed the property but the Dishwasher was broken

The view was amazing, the pools, the kitchen was fine EXCEPT the dishwasher was RUSTED out and would not properly work. The jacuzzi tub was nice, but on the last night could not get hot water. The locks on the sliding glass door did not work but the property manager sent someone out to fix them. We would rent this unit again pending the dishwasher!

A disappointing second visit

I love DI - the people, the ocean, and the many things to do. I stayed at this location 2 years ago and it was great. It has gone downhill tremendously. Given the wrong code and could not get into key box (did, thankfully get Jennifer to respond and she had the code), key never really worked right - lock definitely needs changing. Tub did not drain in small bath, and no hot H2O in small bathroom sink, bottom sheet in small bedroom and was in a ball under you during the night because it did not fit the bed. dirty utensils in kitchen upon arrival and frig had a reddish film on one shelf, no internet - jennifer again responded in a timely fashion but we opted to go somewhere else and pull our stuff down off the web. Jennifer suggested rebooting the modem box which i could not find. There also were no instructions on how to operate the TV and which of the 4 remotes to use. Very Dirty rugs. Light on porch by small bedroom was so bright that even with the curtains closed i could read a book - need blackout curtains. The location is great but would think twice about returning. Very sad as i know how this location once was. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful.

Peaceful and Serene

The location was excellent with many restaurants close by. The only thing I was disappointed with was the carpet (very stained) and no WiFi our entire visit. If these two things are rectified, I would have given 5 stars.

A very wonderful set of sun rise and sun sets on the gulf!

Our condo was very close to both shopping and dining. Our evening looking at the gulf were very quite and pleasant over a glass of wine. There is lots to see and do on Dauphin Island. You can drive to the main land which is a short drive to enjoy the local eateries . Captain Snapper’s and Islanders were just two of our favorite places to dine ! There are a number of others on the island.

Great time!!

We had a great time! We fished from the dock, swam and walked to the beach. There's even a couple of gift shops in front of the condo. Had a great fishing/tour with the neighbors who own Fish Junkie, they took us out to the beach and we had a fantastic time.. we will be back!!

Enjoyed the stay at Dauphin Island. Pics of outside deck was not completely accurate as in listing and the unit had some cosmetic issues like peeling paint in the bathroom, stained carpet, and not as clean as hoped it would be. Kitchen stocked well and comfortable beds. .

Great Location, but minor issues that could use attention

The condo is in a great location. The beach is literally across the street. If you prefer calm water drive to the West end beach which is at the end of the road. The drive is short but scenic. The neighbors are friendly and polite. The check in process was fast and issue free. The only thing I had an issue with is the cleanliness of the condo. The carpets had spots all over as if someone poured liquid in spots forming a trail from living room to master bedroom. There was visible dust in the living room and washroom. This made the condo seem and feel dirty. Not sure what the turn around is for the condo but these are things that cleaners should pay attention to as well as the usual general wipe down and replacing of supplies. The condo was well stocked. Anything we could have needed was there from extra blankets to a fan. I do suggest grabbing all supplies prior to coming on the island. There is a 20 minute drive to Mobile to go to a Wal-Mart or grocery store. Some of the folks in Mobile are not friendly. They are downright rude actually. Also skip any restaurant with "Pirate" in the name. The wait is RIDICULOUSLY LONG.

Great value

We had a wonderful time staying here. With my parents, husband, and 10 month old, we had everything we needed. We set up a play area in the living room and actually put the baby’s pack n play in the master bath since it was big enough. Great jacuzzi tub and all toiletries needed. The kitchen was a great size and had all the stuff we needed as well. Location is good since it is in the middle of the island. 5 minutes from west beach and 5 minutes from the east side. Three restaurants within walking distance. The public beach across the street was awesome too but be aware it’s quite a hike.
