The Anchor Holds lives up to its name! We had 6 adults and 3 fur babies with us with more than enough room. The layout of the house is awesome. We have visited Dauphin Island many times and this will be our new go to house. Already planning to rebook for spring. 10/10!

The Anchor held for this get away for us. Sleep like a baby and liked the parking pass for free parking at designated parking of Vacasa beachfront.

We booked this house for my daughter's 16th birthday party trip, so we had several teens with us. The walk to the beach was short and easy. The house is large with plenty of sleeping room. It was perfect for what we needed! There are a few things not at the house that we could have used. Salt/pepper and any other staples. There were plenty of dishes, but nothing food/seasoning wise. There were also no beach toys/chairs. We knew having them was not a guarantee, but were hoping there would be some, so we wouldn't have to bring from home. We ended up buying a few things to play with.
