Had a family of four stay at Dauphin Island for five nights. The property was very nice and very clean. Photos were accurate. The property is in walking distance of Pelicans Pub/Dockside restaurant and the bakery and Miguel's and Foxy's restaurants. Public beach is a 3 - 4 minute drive. I am an avid birder and walked the 100 yards to the marshes by the airport for birding. Overall, I would highly recommend this property if being right on the beach is not crucial to you.
