The beauty of Dauphin Island awaits right outside your doorstep! Nicknamed Bella By The Sea, this home is at the end of a cul-de-sac and offers the ultimate relaxation for you and your loved ones. Kick back with a good book in the Adirondack chairs on the covered balcony. Sizzle recipes on the gas grill, then dine alfresco at the six-person table. Take a leisurely soak in the hot tub, or stretch out on the hammock. Inside the home, you'll find an open floor plan that makes it easy for your whole group to socialize. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, the spacious kitchen offers ample room to prepare home-cooked meals. There's even an ice machine for added convenience. Gather at the dining table for six when it's time to eat. The smart TVs provide entertainment and the beach-inspired decor adds charm throughout.

As part of the DeSoto Landing community, this home provides access to an array of amenities. Take a walk down the boardwalk to dig your toes in the sand at the community's private beach. Spend sun-soaked afternoons at the on-site pool, or practice your swing on the tennis court. An outdoor shower is available after your beach excursions.

Great location and amenities on the island!
The location was a short distance from the pool and the beach. The outdoor shower and bathroom was nice to have! Ice machine in the kitchen was an added plus!

Beach vacation
The house was as advertised. Clean, well stocked with kitchen items, beach toys/ items, a wagon for easy travel to the beach, and bikes that were easy to use and adjustable for riding by my 10 and 11 year olds. The only outstanding concern is the hot tub. The hot tub is not properly grounded so when you reach into the hot tub from the outside with bare feet you end up feeling a bit of a zing. I did alert Vacasa of this early in the stay but there was not resolution or communication of resolution upon departure. While there we also have enjoyed touring fort gains, seeing the USS Alabama, and taking the Duke on a lighthouse tour. Check out Baudean's for some great sea food.

Well appointed house, close to the beach with a great kitchen and outdoor porch.
We loved the spacious, well appointed kitchen, and the comfortable living space inside the house and on the screened-in porch. We enjoyed using the hot tub and bikes that came with the property when not on the beach. Downstairs storage room is perfect for beach chairs, wagon, umbrellas etc. Blake, our Vacasa contact, was extremely helpful and responsive in resolving an issue we had on our arrival, and could not have been more helpful. Many thanks for a great week! We love Dauphin Island, and will be back!

Nice Place - read on
Our evaluation of the property is good but what is important to us may not be to you. The house is in good shape, was clean and well stocked with amenities. Everything from a good washer and dryer to plenty of useful items in the kitchen. The internet was not working when we got there which didn't let us watch TV either. They were responsive and fixed it within 24 hours.. The TV in the master bedroom had not been set up and did not have a proper remote to control it (not a battery issue). The TV in the bedroom is nothing to complain about, just an FYI. The house had bikes, beach chairs, hot tub, etc and everything was in good condition. Pretty much as advertised. The house is in a gated neighborhood which is nice so even is all the houses are full, the population density of the area is still low. This was very nice. Our issue is that the beach is about 1/4 of a mile away. This was made tougher by the fact that the ramp path to the beach was under repair and we had to drag our stuff through the grass. The beach was great and not commercialized. It was the to and from the beach that was our only complaint. If you have small children, the furniture in the place like the couch and indoor dining chairs have light colored cloth coverings so keep control of the snacks and drinks. We would like to come back sometime when our kids are older and are able to help take things to the beach. The big issue for us was having distant access to the beach with small kids.
