We absolutely loved this house! We had 20 people (8 adults & 12 kids) and this house was plenty big enough for us all to spread out and have plenty of room. It's certainly a kid friendly house also with not a whole bunch of breakable decorations around. It even has board games, coloring books, and toys for the kids to play with. We loved the screened in porch, it had plenty of room for us to spread out and sit. Our favorite place to hang though was the large area under the house. We grilled and hung out while the kids played in the sand nearby. And this house is the best stocked house we have ever stayed at! When I say it had EVERYTHING I mean it had absolutely everything! The storage room down stairs has storage totes FULL of beach toys, there are 2 wagons, TONS of boogie boards, nets, shovels, and even a kayak. The house itself was well stocked with every dish, kitchen appliance, or knickknack you could think you might need. The house is beach front, with a little short path over the sand dune. We could sit on the porch and watch the rest of our family at the beach. The crows nest is another cool feature. We sat up there several times and enjoyed the sunset and breeze. And the owner is a PURE GEM! She responds VERY quickly and is SO SWEET! We loved this house so well we plan on booking this same house next time we come to Dauphin Island.
