The location is great. You're on the beach, and the view from the deck is lovely. You're an easy walk over the sand to the gulf, and we enjoyed sitting on the beach during the day, and on the deck at night, listening to the waves.The house, itself, could stand a few repairs. The main entrance door worked great, but every other door would stick. Structurally, the house seems sound, but there ARE small cracks in some of the tile spaces, that seemed consistent with a house on stilts that rocks slightly under heavy winds. All bedrooms are carpeted, and the carpets are clean. The en suite bathroom has tile that would make occasional clunking sounds when walking through it. There's an unsightly patch on the floor of the en suite shower.Everything worked well enough, though. The water pressure was good, the bathrooms were clean, the AC worked nicely, and the kitchen appliances, while basic, were all in good working shape.The furniture is dated and lumpy, but we still managed to sleep pretty well each night. The WiFi worked.. somewhat.All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and for the price, would absolutely recommend -- especially considering surrounding houses rent for significantly more per night, as of this writing.Dauphin Island is a small beach town, with no major chain restaurants or grocery stores -- quaint, peaceful, relaxed. We'll be back.
