Overview

This pretty as a postcard waterfront home on Dauphin Island offers all the room you need to spread out while still enjoying together time. The best place to bookend the day is the large deck, which offers rocking chairs for morning coffee, and four barstools plus a bar with a view for evening sundowners. With several tables perfect for alfresco dining and a gas grill, you’ll probably spend most of your time outside, but inside is just as welcoming.

The open floor plan means the cooks won’t feel left out while they’re whipping up tasty treats in the well-equipped, full kitchen. There are four barstools at the kitchen island, and room for eight more at the adjacent dining table when it’s time to eat.

When it’s time to unwind after a day of exploring, the living room offers comfy couches and chaises you’ll fight over, and a flatscreen TV for all your entertainment needs. Bedtime means your choice of four comfortable rooms, the main suite with a king and three with queens, but the kids are going to love the loft, with four matching twin beds lined up in a row. Before bed, step back out onto the deck and slide onto one of those barstools to toast your good luck at finding this perfect island getaway – all you need now is a butler to bring you a drink.

The place was great but a few things were aggravating.
I asked about parking an additional car. Never got a response from Avari so tried Airbnb and got a non answer.
No extra trash bags.
Coffee maker inop.
Initial instructions were to load and start dishwasher, start laundry, and take out trash. Then at 6 pm the last night we got a message (no one saw) saying not to do those 3 things. We are not pigs so we cleaned up after ourselves. We would not have left the place dirty.

First the positives: available last minute, clean, very roomy, lots of beds (4 2-person, 4 singles in loft), lots of kitchen utensils and pots and pans, nice lighting, nice view, good climate control, nice coffee maker, plenty of bars of soap in 3 bathrooms, nice shampoo/conditioner/body wash bulk containers in showers.

Areas for growth: no coffee maker filters (successfully used their thin ply paper towel x 2 mornings per a YouTube video), no courtesy coffee (luckily bought some up at Aldi's south of Mobile), no condiments/salt &pepper/cooking oil/sugar or sweetener for coffee, etc, so nothing remotely edible in home (no grocery store on island so bring EVERYTHING), courtesy pack of sponge/small dishwashing soap, two dishwasher soaps and JUST ONE washing machine soap was nice but be sure to bring your own washing machine soap (and dryer sheets if you like them) as who does just one load of wash, dishwasher not fastened in cubby so falls forward, grill rusty, deck furniture worn.

The house was as described: clean, private beach, nicely decorated. It had all of the kitchen supplies we needed, with sample sizes of dish detergent, two dishwasher pods, and laundry detergent for one load. No condiments like salt and pepper, so bring your own. Bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, and hair dryers. The view is amazing and the beach was great for the kids to play in the sand. We felt at home. Check-in was easy as Vacasa sent the code and instructions in advance; we had no problems with the locks. Only major complaint is that the beds are uncomfortable, and the master bed squeaks with slight movement. Would stay again at the right price.
