Wonderful beach house

We had a great stay at this beautiful beach house! The owners have thought of everything you may need for a great beach vacation. It was just a short walk to the beach with partial ocean views from the front porch. The kitchen was fully furnished with everything you may need to make a meal at home. The owners were very helpful and messaged back immediately. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing Beach Week

This home is one the best homes we have stayed in on the Island in the 5 years we have been coming to Dauphin Island. First, the host has thought of everything, all the little details and comforts. The house is well stocked for cooking and staying in on a rainy spring day. The beds are comfortable and the furniture nice to relax on. It was pleasure every night to sit on the deck and watch the sunset in the chairs. The bikes provided a wonderful way to explore the island and all the beach equipment they have allowed us peaceful long days with our kids on the beach. The walk to the beach is easy! Dealing with the host directly and not a management company makes all the difference. She is very communicative and made sure we were comfortable. The house is bright and airy with plenty of space for family conversations and hanging out, but enough room for family to have quiet time. We will definitely be back and we thank the hosts for providing a home away in a beautiful place!

Beach Getaway!

What a wonderful property! It had everything we needed! My husband and I, along with our 4 year old, stayed here with our friends and their 4 children (ages17-22). There was plenty of room for all of us. There was plenty of outside seating below the house, along with parking. It was a short walk to the beach. The house was stunning. Beds were comfortable with lots of extra pillows and lap blankets. Owners were awesome, reaching out to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to go to the island.

Yikes

The property had several problems upon arrival. I realize this is a house on an island, but being sandy in every room? We had to sweep and wipe surfaces down as soon as we arrived. The door with the code to get in was broken and very difficult to close. We had to instruct the kids to triple check each time they went in or out. The lock code on the door is very finicky and basically overheats so trying to get in during the heat of the day was brutal. STAINS (seemingly blood and urine) ON THE MATTRESSES!!! Totally gross and we didn't see that until the last day when we stripped the beds and pulled the mattress covers down. They are trying to charge us for that even though there were no stains on any of the bedding to indicate we caused the stains. All meals were had at the table on top of Upon leaving we swept the home, wiped surfaces. I have pics of every room right before leaving yet the owner charged us $400 for dog hair and their broken door. They were angry we didn't haul the trash can to the curb but the only instructions to do so were hung on the corner of the fridge with 15 other rules/chores we never saw. The walk to the beach from the home was through flood/overflow waters and the owners of the home near the beach are territorial and rude. To beat it all, it was like 1984 over there. We found cameras everywhere. It felt so invasive. I absolutely recommend looking elsewhere for accomodations. It's not worth the hassle. These people are non-resident grifters.

Beautiful beach house with a personal touch

This beach house is great! It was the most well-stocked kitchen and house that I have ever experienced. It had everything we needed and more! It's beautifully decorated. The house is spacious... Each room had roomy closets and TV. The downstairs patio is ideal for grilling out and family time. The downstairs shed had numerous beach items. The house is well equipped for young children including a crib, pack n play, high chair, puzzles, games etc. It was a short walk to the beach. There were six adults and four children in our family, and it was quite comfortable. I would definitely recommend the house. The host, Tiffany, was very communicative and worked with us to serve our every need. We will definitely make a return visit.

Excellent home and communication

Tiffany was very open and communicative about a couple of updates happening during our stay. This was a great location—excellent beach access. We really enjoyed the patio area under the house, grilling, and the house had what we needed for a comfortable stay. Our first time to the island was a success!

Visit to Dauphin

This was a very cute beachy house. It had everything that we needed. It was wonderful to have bikes, beach chairs and other items to be able to enjoy the beach and Dauphin Island. I especially loved to sit on the deck and enjoy the morning with my coffee!

Perfect beach stay

We stayed here for Labor Day weekend. The location was perfect, able to bike or walk around the block. The beach was very close with easy access, we could load up the wagon and simply walk over. The beach gear at the house was all brand new and perfect for a beach day. The home was extremely clean and very well decorated with plenty of towels. The beds were comfy and all the bedrooms were a nice size and not too small.. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the cookwear was all new. I will stay here again!

Summer Vacation

Very nice place. We enjoyed staying here for a week. The property was as described. Just a short walk to the beach. You can see the beach and the bay from the house. It has a nice big deck on front that was nice to set on in the evening. We are already thinking about staying here again. Tiffany was great to work/communicate when settings things up and during our stay. Thanks!

Wonderful beach house!

We loved this home so much, my kids said it was their favorite! Things I think are important to mention: short walk to the beach, beautiful views even thought it isn’t right on water, bikes included, beach chairs and a wagon included (less to pack from home!), huge upstairs deck and perfect outdoor area downstairs, everything you could need in a kitchen, lots of living space to stretch out and comfy beds! Tiffany was a wonderful hostess, we look forward to staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Tiffany Melville

Hi! We are Warren and Tiffany Melville and we are the owners of Vista Del Mar at Dauphin Island. We fell in love with the Island and decided to by a house for our personal use and to share with you as well! We are from the Lake Lanier, GA area, just north of Atlanta. We have 4 kids, ages 20, 17, 14 and a 3 year old with special needs (that last one was a surprise!). We would love to share our home with you!

Why they chose this property

Vista Del Mar at Dauphin Island is a unique property. It offers copious amounts of natural light through the windows and the calming beach tones make it a lovely place to be. The setting is just so relaxing and serene that you won't want to leave.
