Quick Birthday Get Away
Very clean and affordable with a variety of beds. House had everything needed. Beautiful outdoor area. Lovely plants in yard. The back deck was large, but back yard was a bit over grown. A lot of potential with the back yard area. Only one tv for the entire house, but we didn’t watch much tv. Water hoses, outdoor shower and sink available that helped wash sand off. Definitely worth the price.

Great Home - Central Location
Whispering Palms is a great central location and easy hop to any beach or local food. Neighborhood is quiet and the back yard is like a secluded oasis. While the home was stocked with the bare basics, it lacks the personal touches we’ve experienced in other Vrbo homes. There were no matches or fuel to start the fire pit (and the wood was left in the pit, so it was damp from rain), there are no spices aside from salt and pepper, and there wasn’t a single pen/paper or recommendation of island locations to visit. If you are looking for a house to stay in, this is great! If you are wanting a home to stay in, this misses the mark. We loved Dauphin Island and would easily go back. We would even stay here again; we would just bring more with us!

Perfect
This was the perfect house for our short getaway. Only issue is the smoke detectors have a flash that is super bright and annoying when trying to sleep but overall it’s a nice place.

Wonderful Island
We loved the location of the house. Neighbors very welcoming. House needs outside maintenance, very overgrown. Outside patio and furniture in disrepair. Home on the inside was very clean when we arrived. Beds very comfortable except the sheets did not fit. Home missing table lamps in the bedroom, a broom, toaster, hangers and other smaller items. If you are planning on cooking in the kitchen it does not come with much. Great restaurants, visitor center, and beach.

Fun summer vacation
Our favorite hangout was without doubt the deck in the back. We enjoyed riding bikes around the island, and of course, the beaches.

Garbage issues and under sofa old half eaten food and trash.
The house and location were lovely. However upon check-in I found the only trash can available (blue) for pick up was full of trash. On the property were two green trash cans we pulled from the side of the house to use. The day before trash pick up a Vacasa worker stopped by, pulled the blue can to the curb and rudely informed me trash will not be picked up from the green cans. He said to put the garbage bags next to blue can and they would pick up. They did not pick up the bags. 1 garbage can for 10 guest for 7 days is insufficient. Also partially eaten waffles and garbage was found under the sofa. Enjoyed the house other than these issues. Thanks

There were dirt under sofa pillows. Toilet seast not secured. Patio was nice and big. Towel racks needed in both bathrooms. Television local stations need some some work I without doubt would stay at that property again!

Nice rancher in a quiet neighborhood
This is a nice rancher with nice furnishings and an outdoor kitchen. There were a couple of problems, though, that were kind of substantial for an outdoorsy birder in town for the spring migration. It was difficult to get fresh air into the house; almost none of the windows worked and those that did had major rips in the screens; the sliding door to the patio was missing a screen door. So, while I had planned on the advertised indoor-outdoor living, that wasn't possible without just leaving the doors standing wide open. Also, there were multiple flood lights on every corner of the house that were on all night. Unpleasant to be outdoors on the patio with them, and broken sleep as well, due to the brightness of the rooms. If these issues could be addressed (and the kitchen stocked with more common cooking utensils), it could be an awesome stay. The local Vacasa management was steller and responsive, however, and they did everything they could to remedy these issues, but there just wasn't time during my stay.

The Perfect Spot for our Large Family
What a lovely home. The island landscape around the property, the beautiful deck out back with a lovely outdoor kitchen and eating area, the outdoor shower (perfect for washing off sand after the beach) and there was even a basketball hoop that my boys enjoyed so much! We are a family of eight and we fit so nicely. The rooms were nice. The master bedroom, especially, was so pretty. One of my kids slept on the sleeper-sofa in the sunroom and, I believe there is another sofa-bed in the living room. The bathrooms have been recently remodeled and were clean and beautiful. Overall, I LOVED this home. I will definitely be recommending this property to my friends and we hope to come again in the future!
