Communication was excellent- the front desk was helpful and informative. We arrived 20 minutes early and called to let the owner know- she was prompt and immediately opened the door so we could enter. The private beach access was so nice and easy to get to. 10/10 recommend. ##### Kortney Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lanett Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Lanett-Hotels-2341-Broad-Ave.h99926545.Hotel-Information) > > [GunRunner Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-GunRunner-Boutique-Hotel.h29351966.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Circle Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Circle-Inn.h3099753.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn near University of Mobile](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Near-University-Of-Mobile.h102498.Hotel-Information) > > [Americas Best Value Inn Heflin](https://www.expedia.ca/Oxford-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Heflin.h6071.Hotel-Information) > > [2 Bedroom Executive Suite + Bunk Bed Loft](https://www.expedia.ca/Helena-Hotels-WFL2-2-Bedroom-Executive-Suit-WLoft.h96362618.Hotel-Information) > > [Studio 6 Bay Minette, Al](https://www.expedia.ca/Bay-Minette-Hotels-Studio-6-Bay-Minette.h85531464.Hotel-Information) > > [Cozy 1-bedroom apartment in serene Cottonwood with WiFi, AC](https://www.expedia.ca/Cottonwood-Hotels-Cozy-1-Bedroom-Apartment-In-Serene-Cottonwood-With-WiFi.h110689109.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamy oceanfront gem with beach access, furnished deck, & fast WiFi - dogs OK](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-Dreamy-Oceanfront-Gem-With-Beach-Access.h70321422.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites By Marriott Mobile](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Mobile.h427522.Hotel-Information) > > [West Beach - 104 Westward Ho](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-West-Beach-104-Westward-Ho.h59278416.Hotel-Information) > > [Easy Living in Midtown – 22A](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-Cozy-Clean-2B1B-In-Midtown-22A.h102413960.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastern Shore Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mobile-Hotels-Eastern-Shore-Motel.h6353662.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Suites Airport South](https://www.expedia.ca/Montgomery-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Airport-South.h2233244.Hotel-Information) > > [At Last - 1011 Marquette Pl 4 Bedroom Home by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-At-Last-1011-Marquette-Pl-4-Bedroom-Home-By-Redawning.h96485501.Hotel-Information) > > [A little piece of Heaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-A-Little-Piece-Of-Heaven.h57344482.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites Demopolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Demopolis-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h1464344.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Opelika, AL](https://www.expedia.ca/Opelika-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Opelika-Auburn.h1429.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Evergreen-Hotels-Royal-Inn.h29117949.Hotel-Information) > > [Dauphin Island Beach Club 304 Beautiful Views in a Well-Appointed Condo!!](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-Dauphin-Island-Beach-Club-304-Beautiful-Views-In-A-Well-Appointed-Condo.h34141594.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Enterprise by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Enterprise.h972751.Hotel-Information) > > [Chic Waterfront Dauphin Island cottage on white sandy beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-Chic-Waterfront-Dauphin-Island-Cottage-On-White-Sandy-Beach.h33501014.Hotel-Information) > > [Near Hospital & Dining- Merry on Moorcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Montgomery-Hotels-Near-Hospital-Dining-Merry-On-Moorcroft.h96184442.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Pell City I-20 exit 158](https://www.expedia.ca/Oxford-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Pell-City-I-20-Exit-158.h8713.Hotel-Information) > > [Chestnut Cove Retreat on Weiss Lake Sleeps 16 Comfortably](https://www.expedia.ca/Leesburg-Hotels-Chestnut-Cove-Retreat-On-Weiss-Lake-Sleeps-16-Comfortably.h76590671.Hotel-Information) > > [Bargain on Big Water, Our Inaugural Season!](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Bargain-On-Big-Water.h91560700.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island Spot - 721 Bienville 3 Bedroom Home by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-The-Island-Spot-721-Bienville-3-Bedroom-Home.h92309003.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Montgomery AL](https://www.expedia.ca/Montgomery-Hotels-Clarion-Inn-Montgomery-East-Monticello-Dr.h11032.Hotel-Information) > > [065 Surf Club B5 by ACP](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Island-Hotels-065-Surf-Club-B5-By-ACP.h78569881.Hotel-Information)
