Beautiful house with bathrooms in every bedroom. The open layout of the kitchen and living room was perfect for 6 people. Loved having the bay in our backyard. The West end beach was just a short drive. The back porch was a nice addition to our roomy house.
Visiting as a family twice a year is a tradition we cherish, and over the years, weâve stayed in some lovely places. But none have touched our hearts the way the Bay House did. It felt like home the moment we arrivedâpeaceful, beautiful, and filled with warmth. Weâre already dreaming of coming back next year for two weeks, if weâre lucky enough to find it available.
Beautiful house, needs a couple updates (shower door in middle upstairs bathroom needs to be replaced/fixed) but otherwise PERFECT for my daughter and her friends final Senior '25 gathering before they go seperate ways for college
The space in this house is only trumped by its location. You have your own private beach on the calm Bay side of the island. Then you have easy access to the public beaches on the other side of the island. All are within walking distance. My kids loved coming the beach for hermit crabs, watching the jellies float by and even saw a stingray. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here.
Such a pretty house, lovely setting, and bedroom/bath set up was perfect as we were 3 single people and a couple. Each of us having a bathroom with our room was such a treat. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was on cleanliness. While the kitchen was well stocked, it is in desperate need a good spring cleaning. The cabinets were a bit dirty, disorganized and made no sense, and much of what we pulled out to use we felt the need to wash first. An easy fix that can be done in an hour. We also had a little visitor that shared our bagels and a potato. Not anyone's fault, it is just nature. Just letting you know. But again, absolutely fantastic time and so enjoyed your house on the water!!!
The house was cozy and accommodated all 13 of my family well.
Loved our stay. The house had almost everything you need inside and out. The house and the rest of the island is very family oriented. I will definitely be back.
We stayed at the Bay House previously. This is one of our favorites on Dauphin Island. Beautiful! Accommodated our large family!! Directly on the Bay with small beach that you pretty much have to your
We loved our stay at the bay house! The house was very clean and has everything we needed. Access to the bay was great for little ones and the beach was an easy, short walk. There are some sharp broken shells when you first wade in, so water shoes are a must.
We enjoyed our stay here and had a very relaxing time. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils, would have liked to have some basic spices (salt and pepper ..). Also no towels or beach chairs was a little disappointing, especially for people who fly in. The Crows Nest we ended up not using as was a bit warm and we did have space for all without using - I do agree with the review asking for a tub lol Hard to bathe a baby without but we made do!Overall was a great stay!
Extremely comfortable. Super clean. Kitchen has everything needed to cook. Fast responses from messages. Plenty of room and seating for our party of 8. Fun ammenties include board/card games as well as corn hole. Perfect for families. Grassy areas to walk pet did not have any sand spurs. The board walk was really convenient. Path to beach is flat and easy to walk and travel with wagon. There is a pantry area to store food and 2 refrigerators which was incredible. Would 100% recommend and will definitely stay again. We hated to leave!
The house was the best weâve stayed in over our 10 years of family beach vacations. It was the first time we stayed Gulf side & in a fishing friendly place. The view was different from ocean side but had its own beauty ocean views canât offer. The community was friendly and welcoming. It was also stress free to get the code for the door which is one thing that has been frustrating with our other stays. The property manager was very nice and helpful.
The initial reaction to the house when you step in the front door is âWOWâ, the amazing view of the Mississippi Sound on the north side of the island takes your breath away. The house had plenty of space for my wife and I, two friends that traveled, and our Airedale terrier. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and gadgets and the two refrigerators we had plenty of cold storage for food and adult beverages. The house is a short walk to public beach access. The management group was more than accommodating when we had questions about the island and our parking pass. We even met the home owner who also was very friendly.
We had a wonderful time here, the home was great and had everything we needed for our stay. The back deck had such amazing views of the bay! We spent most of our days and evenings sitting out there talking and taking it all in.
There is some construction going on next door. A notice for that would have been nice as it was VERY loud, but over-all we had a wonderful time!
This property is located in a quiet area of Dauphin Island on the bay. We enjoyed the view, the tranquility and the house. Thanks for the like-new mattresses! Areas for improvement would be the beach equipment. Chairs and play equipment needs replaced. I'll say,though, that is is minor in the overall scheme of things. We enjoyed our stay.
We had a great long weekend at the Bay House. It is so charming, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The view is great, feels very private. The decks are even more spacious than the pictures show.
Our one complaint was that there is no door to the downstairs sleeping area. Also to get to the charming cupola bedroom you have to go through the master bedroom. It was ok for us because we are a family but might be a problem for some.
Family of four adults spent the week at this lovely decorated rental. The view of the bay was so relaxing. We rented chairs and umbrellas and spent our days going to our own private beach on the bay. We did not venture out much because we loved the location and enjoy cooking. When the grill wasnât.working well, they replaced it with a new one. We spent our nights on the deck playing cards and having cocktails. Made a morning trip to USS Alabama and Fort Gains. Best part of the trip was having our dogs with us.
Wonderful trip.
The property is rundown and needs maintenance and overall TLC. It also had not been cleaned properly, there was mold in the bathrooms and dust and dog hair throughout the house. If these items were addressed it would be a great house to stay at.
Nice home with a beautiful view. Crows nest room smaller than it appears. Also stairs to crows nest room are off a master king room. Be prepared to wake up with the kids.Shower in middle king room no hot water. All showers are small. No tub in the house. Hard with children not having a tub. Not the best cleaned. Needs kitchen utensils. Over all a nice stay.
Unkept and overground. Nicely decorated and fully furnished with the latest. Would stay again IF, everything was operable. Upstairs TV could only be watch if subscription was made. Bathrooms had dirty towels in them with mold and mildew in shower stalls. Bedding is very comfortable with plenty pillows. One toilet had wiggled its way from the floor mount, so it caused a problem. It rains the whole time of our stay, so if the grounds outside was kept, it would have been nice to went outside and enjoyed that area underneath and around the Bayhouse. Good area of the island to enjoy peace and quiet with little to no tourists.
