This location was perfect for our 12 person family gettogether (4 couples, 4 kids, 1 dog). The layout worked very well: bedrooms taking up the sides, main living/dining area in the middle, a dedicated bathroom for each bedroom, and plenty of deck space with awesome views of the gulf. The beach area was beautiful and the spacing between properties allowed us to have our own dedicated area each night without incident. Also who knew that the ice machine would end up being one of our favorite features. It and the accompanied wet bar was great for water refills throughout the day and making mixed drinks at night.
Our only criticism is that the vaulted ceiling in the main living/dining area reverberates sounds. It can be difficult holding a conversation, even with a person sitting right next to you if multiple groups are mingling at the same time. Some sound dampeners mounted to the ceiling would go a long way to minimize the echoing.
Looking forward to visiting Dauphin Island again in the future.
