We had a fantastic stay at this Dauphin Island beach house! The home was clean and comfortable with easy-to-maintain floors—perfect for kids after beach days. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the ice machine was a great bonus for filling coolers. Beds were comfy, showers had great water pressure, and the cozy couches made evenings together so relaxing. The location was amazing—just steps from the beach, making it easy to run back for snacks or restrooms. We loved the quiet gated community, enjoyed the community pool, and appreciated the outdoor shower and hoses for rinsing off sand. The WiFi was helpful since cell service can be spotty in the area. A few small things to note: the deck walk has some loose boards, and the neighbor’s three King Charles spaniels dogs can be loud and extra yappy, but neither affected our overall experience. A boardwalk closer to the beach would be a nice addition for hauling wagons with kids. Overall, it’s a wonderful beach getaway and we’d definitely return! ##### Mary T.

Wish we would’ve been notified of the construction of new homes on each side during our stay. We couldn’t enjoy the deck without listening to hammering, nail guns, and being covered in saw dust. There wasn’t much sleeping in for this reason as well but hopefully next year that isn’t an issue. ##### Paige E. ### 8/10 Good #### Cheree G.

Property manager, Vacasa, was not easy to work with. This is a great location but the house was not cleaned as well as I would have expected and the amenities are outdated and need some upgrading. Working with Vacasa was very difficult as they take anywhere from 24-72 hours to respond to requests and do not return phone calls. I did get a speedy response when we wanted to add an additional night, but not for our other requests. ##### Charlotte M.

Oct 10, 2022 #### Already planning our trip back! I definitely see what people mean by “could stand for a little updating” but it’s not even something I’d note on a review because the location and the views outweighed any aesthetic lacking. This was our first visit to Dauphin Island and my husband and I already decided this will be our “home away from home” for as long as Tan Lines will have us! Can’t wait to make more memories here. We have 3 small children who thanked us the entireeee vacation because it was just SO cool and close to the water. I’m stuck between wanting to recommend to everyone and keeping it to ourselves! Thanks again for having us. ##### Hunter E. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jason H. Oct 6, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Location, rear deck and sunsets were amazing+. BUT.... House was in a great location! Enjoyed the view, sunset, and stars from the rear deck. Great access to the pool and ocean. Not too bad of a walk, but... The house is older and not well maintained. Carpet and handrails going into the living area dirty! Kitchen was slightly wiped down, but the stove had food burned onto it. Dirty supplies in the kitchen. Master bedroom bedding full of dog hair and long brown hairs (Could not use it...). Sand and dog hair in the floors and baseboards. Swing outside broken. We requested they bring us clean sheets and they were left outside in 2 bags on the drive by the door (no notice they were left). Finally, feces on the master bath door frame. (Pocket door to water closet missing) Loved the house, but be prepared to spend >3 hours cleaning the area you intend to live in. From what I see this is not an isolated event... (People I spoke with were polite and responsive to calls) (We were refunded the cleaning fee, full disclosure) It is a shame. 5-10 years ago this house was a gem! ##### Jason H.

There are screens in every room. Dishwasher in the kitchen island. Cushions on outdoor furniture. 4 beach chairs and plenty of beach toys etc. Sometimes pictures can be deceiving but in this case the house is definitely as close to the beach as it looks if not even closer. Outside shower worked great. Every kitchen item you could possibly need, there’s even a blender, crockpot, stick blender, etc. really good ice maker in laundry room. Vacuum and broom which is so nice to clean up sand etc throughout our stay. ##### Joanna L. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany S. Jul 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family vacation Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. Like other reviews mention more towels and wash cloths would have been helpful as we had 4 couples staying. There were plenty of beach toys for the kids and only a few beach chairs. The beach was very nice and more secluded as this is a gated community. There is a nice 1/2 mile of beach with no houses on this stretch so it was like we had the beach to ourselves!! Downside would be bathrooms. There is one in the master and the other 3 bedrooms have to share one bathroom. However we would definitely stay here again! ##### Brittany S.

May 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and private If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is your house. (Minus the workmen on both sides of us, but we know that could not be helped.) Yes, it needs to be updated, but it was spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the view was just lovely out the living room to the sand and trees to the Gulf. We loved hearing the wind in the palms, watching the pelicans dive, and having a nice deck with some shade. If you want privacy and don’t mind a house that’s a little outdated, this is a gem. Great shower pressure in the master bath, ice maker on door of fridge, great blender, great grill…great ingredients for a Dream vacation! The natural beauty and privacy in a quiet neighborhood were the best part for us. Loved it; would definitely come back! ##### wendy k.

We loved the location so close to the beach and views to the water! We highly recommend the the house stock more hand towels(0), dish towels(2) and beach towels(2). For a house that sleeps 12, the place needs just a few more basic bathing supplies. Plus, absolutely replace the sliding door as it is on its last legs and does not close without considerable effort! Otherwise, we recommend the listing explain what else they have for sand chairs(3) beach supplies(many) as this will help others know what to expect or need to bring. All in all, like others have stated in their reviews, it needs an update inside and out(late 90’s or early 00’s decor). But still did the job as a great place to get away! ##### Martin C. ### 8/10 Good #### Jerry Bob B.

House, beach deck, Audubon , Ft Gaines, Skinners Seafood all good. Captain Snappers, and Islanders were horrible and we walked out of both. Locals are scruffy and angry. Too bad. We were there in 1970’s and 10 years ago. All done with Dauphin Island. . ##### Jerry Bob B.

I wish I could give them 4.5 stars. It's not quite a 5 - the bathrooms & kitchen especially are ready for an update. But it's otherwise a wonderful house. Awesome locations, very short walk to the beach, pet-friendly, & plenty of space to spread out. We also very much appreciated all the small touches from the owners (e.g. beach toys, utensils, games, etc.). We had a really great week & will look to rent this home again the next time we visit Dauphin Island! ##### Shannon F. ### 6/10 Okay #### Leslie S.

We get there at 4pm to check in and the lock box is open with no key. Called multiple numbers for Vacasa and everyone we reached was on the west coast. They were having a hard time trying to reach someone local too. Finally, at 6:15pm a woman showed up with the key and tried to pass blame on us. Next time own up that you made a mistake. Once we were in the house everything went great and everyone had a great time. ##### Leslie S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe A. Jun 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful You couldn’t ask for a better location! Right on the beach in a beautiful home! The sounds of the waves and the frog singing all night long are memories that I will cherish forever. My children’s laughter and my wife’s happiness while were eating seafood yards from the water. Things weren’t 100% but you can’t expect 100% because the beauty of it all just outweighed anything that was negative. I’d like to write more but I can’t because if I do my allergies will will cause my eyes to water. My only advice would be to plan your meals in advance and stock up the best that you can so that you can spend more time on the beach and less time trying to buy groceries. If we came back 1000 times to dolphin Island I would want to stay in this house 1000 times more. One more bit of advice, take lots of pictures! ##### Joe A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David H. May 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay My wife and I stayed at Tan Lines primarily for bird watching and beach walking. Birding was nearby and excellent. Beach walking was also excellent. We would definitely come back. ##### David H.

Apr 23, 2021 #### Birds, trees, wildlife Fantastic area of the island, protected by a sandbar and teaming with a diversity of wildlife. The house is comfortable and well kept. Our family enjoyed a peaceful rejuvenating week. ##### Kenneth D. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Jasper.h1760121.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Mobile](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Mobile.h41871.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites By Marriott Mobile](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Mobile.h427522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information)
