We loved our stay at this home. Emily was kind and welcoming and helpful. House is in perfect location. The kids loved being able to play in the shade under the house. We can’t wait to come back.

If you like low-key less touristy places this house is for you. Felt like we had our own private beach. The house is exactly as pictures and description state. Plenty of space for our group of 10.

Was everything we wanted! Quiet with a private beach! No high rise towers to deal with. Steps away from our deck was the gulf ocean. Could leave our stuff out on the beach and take a break in the house! The hosts helped us out with a scheduling conflict by letting us shift our days back 2 days. We will be back!!

This was our first time on the island and this house was the perfect spot for us. We were able to sit on the deck and watch the waves, birds, and dolphins! Thank you for a great vacation!

Amazing! The pics were great but it was even prettier in person! We are planning on staying in this exact house again next year if we can 💕

A very nice home. The location was perfect. We have stayed on Dauphin Island several times previously. This home did not disappoint. Everything was as described. Cissy was quick to respond to any questions we had. Access to the home was easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at this home.

That was a great family stay, The house is almost on the water, island is beautiful.

We enjoyed staying ten steps away from the ocean. The house had very comfortable beds, plenty of towels and all the items we needed to cook meals. The long public beach with no development was only a half mile away and was a beautiful place to walk. The seafood from Skinners was excellent take out. We swam every day. The sand was white and very pretty. The ocean had a lot of sediment but I suspect it was because it was windy and the waves were very strong while we were there. It was nice to be in a spot where there are no chain stores, just little mom and pop places. It was very relaxing.

House was awesome. Beach was great. My wife did not like sharing the house with the cockroaches.

Beautiful beach rental only steps away from the waves. Lots of amenities - beach towels - beach toys. Kitchen was furnished with everything you would need. The four grandsons loved the bunk bed room! George came to visit us everyday!! Overall - a perfect rental!

The home was as described, and everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Cissy was great. Very accommodating. We were able to sit in the deck and watch the kids play in the sand. We Would stay again!

Prior to moving overseas, we wanted to spend some time with our family. This house was perfect for that! It is ideally located beach front with extra space on each side. You feel like you are on a private beach! The deck is huge with multiple entries from the house. Loved that there was a screen option for keeping the doors open with no critters flying in the house. The description of the house and the pictures are accurate but truly don't due justice to the, as my daughter termed it, cozy spaciousness! Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We highly recommend this house!

My daughters and I had the best Fall Break on our first trip to Dauphin Island. The house and views from the deck are stunning! The house has everything you need for your stay. We basically had the beach out front to ourselves. Any questions we had were responded to so quickly by Cissy, which is appreciated greatly. We walked the beach on the West End and found some amazing shells and sea glass. We also watched dolphins playing in the water, saw so many different types of birds (no George, but we did see one of his friends), jelly fish, pink meanies, and sting rays. On the morning we were leaving, we even had a visit from a very friendly red fox! We could not have asked for a better trip and are definitely coming back next Fall!

This was our first time visiting Dauphin Island and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience or home to relax in. The home is beautiful, well decorated, very clean, and perfectly laid out. The furniture, beds and towels are definitely an upgrade compared to other rentals. The house sits right on the beach only steps away from the ocean with the perfect views. We watched every sunrise and sunset from the large upper deck. The 6 person table on the outside deck was perfect for enjoying meals, watching dolphins and the beauty of DI. There was plenty of loungers to relax in, the outside shower is perfect to wash the sand off and our favorite spot was the double hammock. We used the kitchen most days and it was very well stocked with everything you need to make meals. If you're looking for a wonderful, relaxing home, on a beautiful island to just relax and enjoy time away from the busyness of life, this is it. Cissy is an AMAZING co-host. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a nicer person to make our trip perfect! We honestly didn't want to write this review for the fear of the home getting booked up more and more. We loved it and didn't want to come home.

We loved every minute at Coastal Gratitude! The house is gorgeous, furnished beautifully, extremely clean and the location was perfect. We look forward to coming back in the future! I really can't think of anything that I'd change other that maybe a wash station for our feet before we came back on the deck but there was a place to wash off once you were up on the upper deck. WONDERFUL all the way around!

This is our second time staying in Dauphin Island. This home was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for anything nicer. We stepped right on to the beach from our deck. We grilled out and had dinner under the covered area and just relaxed in the chairs on the uncovered section. The fenced sandbox at the bottom would have been perfect when we had little ones. We never had to haul a big cooler to the beach because everything we needed was only steps away to the house. The bedrooms were perfect sized, and three bathrooms was a treat for us. The owners were great when we needed to get in touch about coming a day early. We will definitely be back.

It’s been a few months since our stay but my family had a wonderful spring break here. Would definitely come back. House was great and location was perfect right on the water. Hosts were excellent. Would definitely love to come back to this property and Dauphin Island. Thanks!

Cussing was excellent, answered all questions quickly and took care of business.

Our family of 9 had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as needed. Having three bathrooms was especially helpful. Hope to return again!

The house is great! Perfect flooring for the beach. Equipped with literally everything you need. Cozy beds throughout, not just in the Master. Great, quiet location facing the gulf. Loved our quiet week!

I cannot say enough good things about this home and the hosts who own it. The home was even better than the pictures and some of the rooms felt bigger than the pictures eluded to. The home is well stocked and we had no issues making anything we wanted. From the deck, we enjoyed watching dolphins several mornings and seeing George walking around throughout the day visiting all the houses. There is hammock that was enjoyed of an evening and you can't beat the location of being steps from the beach. The hosts were ALWAYS available to us when we had a question and we appreciated that so much. We have rented from several hosts in the past and customer service was not even close to being as amazing as Amy, Cissy, and Emily were. We would rent from them again in a heartbeat! Thank you for such an amazing experience at Dauphin Island in your home. We were sad to leave and are already talking about when we will be back!

We decided to change up our summer beach trip this year and chose Dauphin Island over the Emerald Coast of Fl. Everyone thought this house was the best place we had stayed in over 20 years. I hate saying this because I don’t want to worry about booking next year! If you want to slow down and just enjoy the beach, this is the place. Many thanks to Cissy for going that extra mile and for being so welcoming. I am glad the weather was not an issue this summer!

We loved being right on the waterfront of the gulf! Two bedrooms have sliding glass doors that open up to the patio with awesome views of the dolphins and birds out in the water. Such a great place to stay and we will definitely be back 😃

The house is perfect and well appointed. The house was stocked with many essentials like spices, laundry detergent, disposable plates, etc… simple things that are usually absent in a rental. As a busy mom, I really appreciated this. It’s decorated beautifully and the furnishings are very comfortable. The house is directly on the beach… no need for an umbrella when you have a house for shade! Bring your hammock as the house was perfect for one but didn’t have one like the pictures. We are spoiled after staying here!

We had a great time . House was everything we expected!!! We will be back thank you too you all!!!

We spent 3 weeks enjoying every minute of this perfect beach house. The pictures are spot on. From the views of the ocean inside the house, to the perfect large deck leading down to the sand you can't get any closer to the ocean. We loved the living room with the electric lazy boy chairs and couch to the large bedrooms plus en suite baths and a kitchen big enough to prepare meals with plenty of counter space. along with large TVs in every room, beachy decor and everything else perfect in between. The managers were also helpful,sweet and always available. The locations is a plus as it is very quiet and located within traveling distance of other parts of the states allowing us to explore other adventures. Last but not least George visited us every day sometimes twice a day and a couple times brought a friend or two, what a hoot. We hope to rent this charming home again next year and make more memories.

We had a great time. This house was so wonderful. Everything we hoped it would be. The whole family enjoyed the deck!

We had a great week of R&R here. The house was phenomenal and in a great location. *Would recommend an iron/ironing board. We did have around 8 dolphins swimming about 100 yds out one day and that was a neat experience. Overall, Great place to get away!
