We ate at Skinners 2x during our stay. Had to give them a special mention. Farmers market, aquarium, bakery, gift shops, golfing and beaches everywhere. Would definitely stay again. ##### John J.

My family of six thoroughly enjoyed this house! The space was great and there were so many amenities, including lots of pool floaties and beach toys. The pool was definitely our favorite part! The trees surrounding the property made it feel very private and secluded, which was great. We all felt so comfortable here! When we had an issue with the oven not working, Julie was so easy to get a hold of and solved the problem quickly. The only thing I would add is towels for the pool. We drove so it wasn’t a big deal to bring our own, but if people are flying in, it might be more of a hassle to bring them along. We would definitely stay here again!! ##### Rachel R.

I can’t say enough good things about the house and the hosts. The house is amazingly well stocked, especially for kids. Not having to drag all our baby gear down was so helpful. The beds are very comfortable with high quality sheets, there are so many spaces to be you never feel crowded and there is great space away from the neighbors. We much prefer the smaller, local, unhurried feel of Dauphin Island over the hurried, commercialized feel of Ft Morgan/Gulf Shores. Hosts are responsive and easy to work with. I’ve already recommended this place to friends! ##### Allison N. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary G.

The kitchen was simply superb with every item imaginable available and in good supply. The same could be said for the entire house, inside and out/poolside. The dorm-style room upstairs proved perfect for the grandkids. The laundry was exceptionally handy. Closets and storage kept us easily organized. The owners were extremely accommodating, personable, and attentive … genuinely caring for our needs. We simply cannot recommend this home enough! ##### Marilyn M.

We have been renting homes on VRBO for over 20 years and we have had some great rentals. This is the first one we have stayed at for a second time- and we hope to come back again next year!! The house is absolutely perfect. It is spacious and has every amenity you can think of. The beds are super comfy- even for the one in our party who is pretty particular about such things! We have been staying in April and the water temperature in the pool is perfect! We are up and out daily as dawn breaks and we are usually heading to Shell Mounds to see what birds might be migrating through. Some days we are delayed as there are often some pretty amazing birds right there in our own yard! This year we had a bald eagle who would regularly come and sit in the pines. Some days he was just resting- other days he would come in with his catch of the day and we would have some really up close and personal views of him. The house is centrally located on the island-you can get anywhere in just a few minutes! We regularly got take out from various restaurants and would bring the food back to eat on the screened in porch so we could watch the wildlife while we ate. The yard is large and private and surrounded by woods and the brook in the back. Julie is the perfect hostess- if you ever have any questions- she responds immediately. I am so thankful we have found this home, it really is our slice our heaven get-away! Thank you so much for sharing your home! ##### Dianne P.

The house decor was great , and had a wonderful vacation peaceful vibe to it. ALL the extras : games, pool accessories, bikes .. and anything you might need if you forgot to pack . We especially enjoyed the pool and the bird watching was awesome- yes we did get to see the herons and so many other birds !! and also a big plus - the host was quick to respond to any questions . ##### Deanna W.
