Recent Dauphin Island guest reviews

This was our first trip to Dauphin Island and I already can’t wait to come back next year! Whatevertheywant is a gorgeous home with a fantastic floor plan and a picture perfect location right on the beach! After a long history of staying in beach condos requiring long waits for elevators and a long boardwalk walk to the beach, I was so tickled to be able to just walk down the stairs and onto the beach!! My husband and I could sit on the deck and sip coffee while our kids played on the beach right in front of us! The deck stairs had a gate which made a perfect hangout spot for our dog! The kitchen was the best stocked with utensils and cooking equipment of any rental house I’ve ever stayed in. Absolutely loved it here!

Loved it all!

This was our fourth trip to the island for Thanksgiving week and by far the best unit we've stayed in. The view was awesome and having to face another house did not bother us. Loved the deck and had a great view of the gulf. Everything was updated and clean and it's great that its pet friendly. The only downside was having a lot of stairs for us aging folks but that's to be expected pretty much anywhere on the west end facing the water. Perfect stay for us and hated to leave. Highly recommended and will certainly keep this home in mind if we visit again.
