"Relaxing Beach Stay
This was our first time visiting the state of Alabama - we had originally planned to stay in Gulf Shores, but the peaceful shores of Dauphin Island seemed much more appealing for a low key family getaway. The condo was cute and clean, with a no-fuss checkin and checkout system. We had everything we needed including a heated pool and access to the beautiful beach. My ONLY complaint is that all businesses on the island kept very limited hours this time of year. It was difficult to enjoy our day without worrying about getting to dinner before the few options would close between 7:30(!) and 9:00. The weather was much cooler than we had hoped it would be on Spring Break, so good food was the bright spot in our cold, windy trip. I imagine this same trip planned in the summer or fall with warm weather would be AMAZING. "

Great relaxing spot. Close to all the great restaurants. The double pools were nice. Little bit of a long walk to the beach , but it was very nice and relaxing."

"Incredible view at 401
This condo is very nice! I love views and the sunrise and sunset views were astonishing. We had plenty of open space and the rooms were just what we needed with the people we had. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Fall Break 2023
The unit needs some major upgrading. The carpet is so worn and dirty that it needs to be replaced/removed. There was a constant musty smell, with layered dust on vents and ceiling fans. We will not choose to stay in this unit again. The location and the island itself was great! "

"Great Location
The condo was in a perfect location with a beautiful beach view. The condo had all of the amenities needed. The linens, rugs and pillows are a bit threadbare and could stand to be replaced. Overall it was really good."

"Needs more comfortable furniture.
We had a good time, but the furniture in unit 401 was extremely uncomfortable. The chairs in the living room felt like they should’ve been on the patio not to sit in all night. The beach was extremely dirty. “Clothes, bandaids, and seaweed everywhere”. We love dauphin island but we won’t be back to that unit. There was also a dead roach on the kitchen table placemat. "

"Relaxing getaway far from tourist crowd
It was a wonderful week of beach time relaxing and reading without the cumbersome tourist grind of larger beach communities. We want to keep coming back each fall during off season. The condo was nice and clean, comfortable, great view. Would recommend this property. "

"Wonderful vacation
We've visited many beaches in US including Hawaii and in Japan. This place was so far the most relaxed and the best vacation site. We loved it very much. Everything was good. We were OK with it but some may be concerned that there was not curtain in the living room facing the ocean. Other than that, our stay was fantastic."

"Labor Day Weekend
The property in in a great location and the beachfront is beautiful. The unit was clean and smelled fresh! Only issues were 1) patio door curtain was missing, and the sun glared into the living room and 2) kitchenware needs to be updated/matched as it is a hodge-podge ofe items accumulated over several years."

"Great place!
Very clean, very easy to check in. Great beach views with direct access, however it is a long walk down the boardwalk. I would definitely recommend staying here."

"Beautiful, Cool, Snow-free Escape
This location is off the beaten path. Great beaches to walk, little traffic, and go biking.
Climate-alert, however. This is a barrier island with lots of wind and cooler weather created by Gulf water temperatures. Very little swimsuit time on the beach in January and February.
Our rental unit was on the end of the building and experiences more than normal wind. Not much opportunity for coffee on the patio.
Still, great location."

"The Beach is Different Every Day
Wonderful view. Very private and quiet. Lots of things to do close by. Favorite activity is in walking the beach. The Bird Sanctuary is so peaceful. A favorite is to place when it’s windy. "

"Enjoyed stay very much.
Very nice stay. Clean and pleasant rooms. Excellent view.
Mattress in smaller guest room bottom bunk needs to be replaced. Towels could be nicer. "

"Coming back!
The room was great! Clean and up to date. The only thing I'd like to see changed is building a longer walk way to the beach. You have to walk through standing water to get to the beach

"A pleasant stay at The Inn
My family and I had such a wonderful stay at The Inn (Room 401). The condo was very clean and had everything we needed to survive the week. Having the view of the beach from the top balcony was a real treat and being able to stroll out to the beach whenever we wanted was the best. We would definitely come here to stay again and plan on it! The island itself is very laid back, not the typical hustle and bustle of most touristy places. Make sure you plan you meals at restaurants in advance, they can get quite busy. The quiet, unpacked beaches were the best. We have found a new vacation spot! I highly recommend the The Inn and Dauphin Island. "

"Would Recommend!
I chose Unit 401 because of the beachy decor and quiet location. Did not disappoint. The only criticism is that the ceiling fan was dirty and unsightly, and the supply of dishwasher detergent was not as promised. (fewer). But nothing to ruin our vacation, like the weather did! Also, if it were my place, I’d use a mattress pad under the fitted sheet, to protect that nice comfy mattress in the master bedroom."

"Beach gettaway
It was nice and clean but contractors starting tearing out our walls without anyone telling us. Manager was very professional and discounted our stay."

"Nice place
The overall experience was good. The condo could have been a little cleaner. I don’t think the sheets had been washed before our visit.
The kitchen was well stocked. The area was beautiful. Will absolutely go back again. "

"The Inn 401 Oct-Nov 2019
Pleasant.
PROBLEM: The TV/Dish usage was exasperating. No instructions at all. Last channel listing was from another provider from 2016. We did appreciate the excellent Wi-Fi.
Would suggest a complimentary bag of coffee. "

"Nice Condo
Great and nice unit the only complaint that I have is the t.v. in the bed rooms was out dated and the plugs on the blocony would not work for the electric grills that was proved did not work."

"The best family vacation ever
We had an amazing time for our first visit to Dauphin Island. The Inn at Dauphin Island is fantastic! The condo was clean, well appointed, and the three beds in one room for the kids was perfect! Two pools, a boardwalk to the gorgeous beach, and a great balcony for watching the surf with an adult beverage are just a few of the perks awaiting you. The island is quiet and not over developed. The ferry to Fort Morgan affords an opportunity to head to Gulf Shores if you need a taste of Disney-esque commercialism. Perfect vacation rental for quality family time. "

"The Inn unit 401
Our second time staying at The Inn on Dauphin Island . Very good rental experience each time . Would highly recommend The Inn . Great website, simple rental process, great after hours check in / check out procedure, very well thought out , organized operation . Great location right on the beach . Beautiful beach , beautiful views . Very nice condominium . Only complaint is the living room and patio furniture in Unit 401 during our stay was very old , very worn and very uncomfortable . "

"Perfect for our family of 4!
We decided to take a last minute trip to the beach with our young family of 4. We have a daughter, 3, and a son, 2, who have never been to the beach. We live in Northwest Arkansas, so Dauphin Island seemed like the best and closest option for us. We initially booked the stay from Thursday-Sunday, but saw a tropical storm developing. We decided to go a day earlier. The management company was very responsive and accommodating! The condo was perfect, just as pictured and described. It was very clean and just the right amount of space (and items) for our 3 night stay. The balcony was spacious and had a beautiful view. The beach was within walking distance and were very clean and not too busy. We brought our own umbrella and wagon, which were lifesavers for us. Next time we plan to stay longer and explore the estuarium and bird sanctuary! "

"Another Great Visit to Dauphin Island
This was our fourth visit to Dauphin Island. We love the peace and quiet on the island. If you prefer a lot of activity (shopping, bars and restaurants), you may want to go somewhere else. Overall, Unit 401 at the Inn at Dauphin Island was nice. Great view of the beach and very nice to be able to walk from the building onto the beach. Two nice pools. However, the furniture in this unit is not nearly as nice as other units in which we have stayed. The dining table seats only 4 people. The living room furniture can use an upgrade. The kitchen has nice appliances but otherwise is not well equiped (i.e. dishes, pans). The quality of the matresses in the second bedroom is poor. "

"Warm Welcome, Million Dollar View!
When arriving at the desk to check in, the woman working was so kind and extremely helpful! She was very knowledgeable concerning the upcoming events during our stay and politely thorough regarding parking policies and building procedures.
Our condo was spotless and beautifully furnished, but nothing compares to the absolutely gorgeous, million dollar panoramic view of Dauphin Island's sugary white sands!"

"Wonderful
First time to the island and it was fantastic. Very quiet and relaxing. Condo was perfect for my family very clean with a beautiful view the pool was located perfectly. My only negative was it was difficult at times to unlock the front door. We will definitely come back and stay again. "

"Our winter paradise!
We spend the winter here and love the facility and the appliances . Here are a few suggestions to make our stay ever more enjoyable. Seating need to be upgraded. Consider a glider rocker or recliner or a fireside straight back upholstered chair Very uncomfortable to sit to watch tv. Dinning room table is extremely low we got use to it but kinda strange. TV needs to be upgraded (sound is unclear)and DVD /vcr is hard and inconvenient to operate. Clean unit."

"A nice sunny stay on Dauphin Island
We had a wonderful time with our stay. This is the second time that we have rented 401 and the third time that we have stayed at the Inn.
The unit was clean and comfortable and provided all of the little things that you need for a worry free stay.
I have recommended this very unit to other friends who have rented it. Everyone comes back with a big smile and thank you's for letting them know about the Inn. "

"Dauphin Island Vacation
Very nice experience. Clean property. Quiet, family location"

"Dauphin Island 5/13-5/18
To reiterate previous comments: If the unit has super thick mattresses, the bottom sheet should fit the mattress snug enough that rolling over in bed does not cause it to become "untucked;" units should have door stops that allow the door to stay open during loading and unloading of supplies at the beginning and end of stay. It is very difficult to carry a heavy load outside if the door cannot remain open. (While the higher sills (compared to the DI Beach Club)are probably a storm-protection effort, it is impossible for a single person to lift a heavily-loaded cart through the door, so items must be carried in individually.) If a washing machine (Inn 401) requires HE detergent, it should either be provided or a guest should be notified in advance. I had brought detergent (not HE) and the detergent available in the unit was not labeled as HE detergent, but a notice in the unit said to use HE (and it is a nice washer and I wanted to respect the notice). Perhaps simple instructions for use of more sophisticated appliances would be helpful."

"Cooley Trip
We were a little dissappointed with the rental. (1) The carpets and rugs were very dirty. (2)The condo was missing some basic items: garbage bags, dish detergent, some other minor things. (3)We were expecting nicer patio furniture. (4)We reported the double bed was broken and asked for someone to repair it. They never came. That made for an uncomfortable night for my son and his wife.

"Fall Break - Dauphin Island
The rental was lovely. The condo was very nice, nicely decorated & beautiful location/view. The after hours check in was extremely easy & the front desk staff were wonderful. I did not encounter any issues with the rental. I will say, that I would not return to Dauphin Island to stay this time of year. The choice of restaurants is very limited & it seems their hours of operation are brief. "

"Great condo!
We loved our stay in this condo. It was nicely decorated, had everything we needed, and was plenty big enough for our family of four. It has a great view of the beach and gorgeous sunsets. Not a lot to do on the island, perfect if you want a quiet, laid back vacation. Two things I did not like- the walk to the water was pretty far and the Gulf view includes several oil rigs."

"The Great Escape
The Inn at Dauphin Island was a great place to stay, very clean and had lots of room. The beach is a longer beach walk than normal but it was still a great escape away from work. I had a great time and plan to go back."
Jul 23, 2014 - Bradley P., Conway, Arkansas
"Property ok, location lacking
The property was good but the location was not. Dauphin Island lacked a lot. Good food was hard to come by (what was available was expensive) and there was no grocery store near.
It was a long trek from the condo to the water's edge and had to go thru deep, hot, stagnant water to get there."

"Peaceful Vacation with the Kids!
We love beach vacations that are peaceful and away from the crowds. Dauphin Island has been our best choice yet! Our unit was clean and well-decorated. Kids always love bunk beds! This top-floor, corner-unit had a fantastic view of the ocean and pool. We will definitely be back!"
