The house was great. Plenty of room. The pictures were not deceiving. There were way more kitchen items than the “Know Before You Go” email described. Check in was easy. Everything was clean. Plenty of games for the little ones to stay busy while not on the beach.

Went for a family vacation with my three other siblings, significant others and my dad. Plenty of space for us to all spread out. Great living room and kitchen area for us to hang out in. The porch was perfect spot to sit outside with everyone. We had the option of a quick walk to the beach or a quick drive. Just remember to bring your own beach towels!

We already love Dauphin Island and the Sand House made the trip even more enjoyable. It was clean, cute, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the space available for the children.
