Ever wanted to know what it is like to live right on the sugar-white sand? Well, you won't have to winder any longer when you call this fantastic Dauphin Island retreat home for a little while! Waverly, a four-bedroom oceanfront gem that is more than ready to accommodate the whole family, is perched on the west end of the island to give you a bit of peace and quiet while still being near all of the action. As soon as the sun comes up, listen to the tide ebb and flow on the furnished deck. Or, if everyone has built up an appetite from a full day at the beach, fire up the gas grill and have a casual cookout with loved ones. For more formal meals, the full kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, wonderful white countertops, an island, dishwasher, and deep sink. Plus, everyone can be part of the conversation during meal prep with the dining area adjacent to the kitchen. When it is time to settle down, the living room features three sofas and a mounted flatscreen TV to make movie nights a breeze, and all four bedrooms are on each corner of the home to give everyone some privacy.

The house is very nice and clean, this is one time that I really felt like the pictures didn't do it justice. The back deck is huge and a perfect spot for catching some rays and watching the ocean. You can see the beach pefectly from the back deck. It was nice to be able to sit up there and still be able to have a close eye on the kids playing in the waves. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were nice amd didnt feel cramped. It was a great home away from home for four adults and three kids.

The house was in a prime location on the west end of the island- very quiet and almost empty beaches. The house was very clean and upgraded. We loved having a bathroom for each bedroom. The only negative is the fridge runs at 50 degrees, the ice maker and water dispenser in the fridge were not working and neither was the garbage disposal in the sink. Other than those things, the house made for a great weekend trip!

Bday getaway

The house was as described, very nice, clean, well- equipped. The staff was responsive to our concerns and got back to us quickly when needed. The back porch was awesome and spacious. The location was not ideal as there is a house directly in front on the ocean side. We could still see the ocean, at an angle. No beach to speak of, but it didn't spoil our fun. We could walk down to the beach where there was space to spread out. All in all, a very nice week

Great beach house

We had a wonderful stay! The home offered semi-private access to the beach and was just a short walk to the West End beach. The room sizes were spacious, and each bedroom had its own bathroom, which made the stay comfortable and convenient. Perfect spot for a relaxing coastal getaway.

Perfect place to experience the best Dauphin Island has to offer. Clean and updated with awesome views. Loved the large deck which was very steps away to the water. Great that it's pet friendly. A lot of steps but typical for the location. Highly recommended and hope to stay again.

Red Flag weekend

Although the waves were crashing onto the beach just outside the house, the sounds were soft inside. The house was perfect for our group, four bedrooms each with its own bath. The house is a short walk to the west end public beach, a wonderful place to explore and beach comb. We would definitely stay there again, even though two bedroom doors stick against uneven floors and some minor wall damage.

Absolutely the most amazing place. I have never been to Dauphin island but the friends I traveled with had visited the island a few times prior. Everything was amazing. The house was perfect. My friends even said it was the best place they have stayed on the island. 10/10 recommend.

Perfect relaxing beach house

We loved this property! Our goal was relaxation and we met it! The sound of the Gulf waves was exactly what I envisioned. The private drive and parking right at the steps was convenient for loading/unloading and parking under the house provided shade for the car. Loved having steps off the back deck to access the beach which is essentially shared with the 3 other houses in the immediate area. It was a perfect scenario. You can even see dolphins chasing the fishing boats from the deck!

Family Beach Vacation

Overall the stay was good. We did find the house a little dirty in the kitchen upon arrival, trash cans smelt like old sea food. There was not a broom in the house and I contacted Vacasa twice during our stay and never received one. I walked on sandy floors the entire stay. There were some cosmetic issues with scuffed walls and a few small holes in the walls in 2 of the bedrooms. The trim on all of the base boards looked incomplete with nail holes that had not been filled in. A few of the doors drug the floor when opening and closing. I know this is picky but for the price I expected a well put together vacation home. This house is on the west end so no beach in front of the homes, some access between the front rough of houses. We were there at a time with high level rip currents and high waves due to tropical disturbances in the gulf so this led to flooded road on our last 2 days of our stay. Of course that is mother natures fault. I recommend not driving a low profile car in case of flooding. It would be nice to know in the description that there is limited beach front. A few things that I recommend that need to be added to this house that come in handy at other homes we have rented: extra linens and blankets, there were none here. A guide of the island with restaurants, activities, and places to visit. Luckily we have been to the island at least 6 times before and we’re familiar with it, but definitely would come in handy for newbies to the island.

Beautiful Retreat But...

My family and I thouroughly and I mean thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Waverly. The home was beautiful, the view was beautiful, we had good TV and internet connection when we needed it, the host was very responsive to our needs. We had to take away a star however for a few things. 1. The sheets in the master bedroom were dirty on arrival. We notified the host and they had housekeeping out within the hour to remedy the matter. I do appreciate how responsive the host and the housekeepers were and they were very apologetic about this. 2. Roaches...when we arrived we noticed 2 dead roaches in front of the laundry set. Over the course of our stay we killed 6. 2 in the living room, 1 in the master bathroom, 3 in the guest bathroom facing the water. We notified the host of this and they had pest control out immediately to spray. So hopefully the next tenenants dont encounter the same issue. Again much appreciative to the host and their reaponsiveness. We did notice dead roaches in the vacuum cleaner when we were cleaning up to leave so it may be an issue that the housekeeping staff is not communicating back to the host. 3. Driveway...it is soft. So if you have a smaller vehicle you may not be able to park underneath the house. Also says parking for 4 but the cement only could accomodate 2 under the house and there is no street parking. There is a small access road but it is also used by the house in front. It wasnt an issue for us with 1 car, but may be for others.

Peaceful getaway

This a great peaceful spot towards the west end of the beach. It is a second row house but you still have a beautiful view of the beach. The 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms is a definite plus. The kitchen was pretty well stocked except for a large cooking pot. The cornhole boards would have been great but we couldn’t find the sacks to play with anywhere in the house. The one thing that was really concerning was the flooring throughout the house. This definitely needs to be addressed. The floor in the kitchen is coming up and there are several soft spots. In one of the bedrooms there was a piece of plywood down with a rug over it so I can only imagine what condition the floor was beneath. The bathroom flooring was coming up in this same bedroom. There was obviously a leak at some point in the house. The only room that didn’t have soft spots in the floor was the master bedroom. With that being said we love the house and location minus the flooring issues.

Great location

The house is in a great spot. However we were not told that there were major problems with the floors. The kitchen had a spot about 2' x 6' that was cracked so bad you couldn't stand there. After we checked in the maintenance guy brought a piece of plywood out and laid it on there to cover for the week. We placed towels and rug over it.Several other places in the unit are doing the same thing. I can't understand why the cleaning people or someone didn't notice it instead of laying a rug over the hole.

Loved our stay

This house was very nice and clean. We had a few issues that the owner may want to fix. . The bathroom door on the east side that was attached to bedroom needs the door hinge repaired. The dryer wouldn’t dry our cloths without multiple dries and the filter was cleaned out prior to use. Vacuum wouldn’t work (may be operator error 😂) . The blender had a crack in the pitcher. With all those small things , we still loved our stay and your beach house is a beautiful place.
