This property was a perfect retreat for me and my family! We have smaller children and having the calmer bay side available was perfect for them plus them being able to explore the gulf just across the street! The property was clean and the owners were easy to communicate with!

Wonderful Family Spot
We had an amazing stay. The house is well appointed, but the view and the beach and pier are the star! Amazing sunsets and we had so much fun fishing. The island has a nice slow pace and we were able to really enjoy time with family. Highly recommended!

The home is beautiful, spacious and well kept. The pool provided hours of relaxation. It was clean and great temperature. The guys thoroughly enjoyed catching Big Reds and their bait off the dock. The solar powered dock light allowed them to fish at the dock until all hours of the night. We made great memories!

Beautiful, relaxing get away
You can't find a better location - great house, on the sound and steps away from the beach. The heated pool was a hit and plenty of room. There was some wear and tear that could be addressed, but overall recommend!

The property is older and there is some deferred maintenance, but we thought it was a good value. It appeared the gas grill can use some new cooking grates, however we did not use it. The patio furniture on the balcony off the second floor master suite should be replaced.

Whale of a time!
Stayed here with my husband, teen daughter, adult daughter, son in law, 6 year old grandson and 3 fur babies. Great location for fishing or swimming in the bay, easy access to a quiet side road for dog walking and the gulf is just right across the road! Pool was clean, clear, private and warm!

Beautiful house with easy access to the Gulf waters. Dock off back of house was great for swimming and also fishing. We caught a lot fish and the kids had a ball. Pool off side of house is perfect and well maintained. We went to the Gulf beach off front of house which is a short walk away and quiet and nice. Beautiful views of sunset at night. Would recommend and stay again at this house on Dauphin island.

Wonderful beach house!
My family loved our stay. The house was beautiful and spacious for my husband and I and our teenagers! We loved having the dock access on the bay and same distance to walk across the street to the beach. My husband caught a stingray, we got crabs in the crab traps, and fish! Lots of wonderful memories, we will be back!

Relaxing stay!
Wonderful home - precisely as advertised! AC worked AMAZING! Caught quite a few fish off the dock, great access to the beach and good walking trails. Pool was an added bonus given the location. The property was very conducive for our chocolate lab who loved the trip as well! Ice machine worked so well we had to cut it off to avoid an overflow. Overall, outstanding visit!!!

Great Week at Whale Tales!
The new renovations and updates at Whale Tales are great! The property is very clean and family friendly. The outdoor shower was wonderful and the full size ice machine in the laundry room was a great surprise. We had a minor issue with the oven and the property owner was extremely responsive to get someone out to take a look and fix it. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our family vacation (parents kids 13yo & 10yo grandparents) was really amazing! This is our 4th time vacationing on Dauphin Island. We chose this property specifically for it's large (partially screened in) deck, a large pool, a covered dock, and clear pathway to the beach. We always discuss what we "want" next time and this property checked every box. Additionally we liked that the entry stairs were tucked under the house and that the house sits on a concreat pad, which makes parking, loading & unloading, storing beach stuff and taking our pet out more convenient. We appreciated the 2 outdoor showers and conveniently placed water hoses. Having an ice machine was great, as was the provided kayaks and pool toys. The house, bed linens, and towels were clean. The porch, rails, and dock felt safe. We did notice some minor deferred maintenance items (mostly some patch work and some needed painting inside) but nothing that affected our use or enjoyment of the property. Our only constructive suggestion is the kitchen cabinets need to be inventoried and reorganized. There were enough kitchen/cooking items, plates, cups, and silverware available but it was obvious some past renters didn't take care of the provided items and/or put things away randomly. We really enjoyed our stay at Whale Tales and will absolutely be back! Shout out to owners for sharing such a lovely place to make memories.

The inside of the home is nice overall, but it could definitely use a more thorough cleaning. The pots and pans are outdated and in poor condition, making them difficult to use.The upstairs master bathroom looks luxurious at first glance, but the experience was disappointing — the shower had very low water pressure and the water never got more than lukewarm.Unfortunately, the exterior of the property is quite rundown. The dock, which was a major selling point for us, is unsafe and unusable, as it is missing several support pieces underneath. The upstairs deck also feels unstable, and the furniture on it is completely rusted.Additionally, there was trash scattered throughout the yard, which took away from the overall experience.

Beautiful home and perfect location!
The house is absolutely perfect. The owner is very responsive. We has an issue with the oven and he had it fixed in two hours! Having the commercial ice maker is a great touch. We never had to buy ice for our coolers. The pool is great for evening swims or needing a break from the beach. We fished every night off the dock and it also has the best view for sunsets! Mosquitoes can be a little bad, so make sure you don't forget the repellent. We'll definitely be back!

Not exceptional
Place was clean and spacious. Great views from the back porch of the bay. Upstairs Master Suite is huge and it's private, and also has it's own deck which had great views. Kitchen and pantry were big. We were there in Oct and pool was too cold to use, even though the VRBO listing touts that it has a pool. Should be a caveat that pool is too cold to swim in. Very disappointing for the kids. The private dock is also not great. It is completely covered in seagull droppings and one of the piers has slipped (or broke) which made the dock quite slanted and a bit precarious for about 20 feet to walk on. And finally, the pots and pans are so scratched and beat up - hard to understand why they would not be replaced. VRBO has it rated "Exceptional". I disagree. It's OK.

One of the best rental homes we’ve ever stayed in! We hit up the Gulf side a few times which was right across the street. We spent most of our week on the Sound side on the dock fishing, on the shore, and by the pool. Kitchen is well stocked and appointed with ample plates, cups, pots/pans, bowls, etc, especially with Tony chachere's seasoning (a Louisiana staple). Grocery store on the island was fine. We went to Greer’s off the island once and that got us thru. We ordered food to-go most nights from local restaurants, but you need to be prepared to place your to go order early and in-person bc the restaurants get busy fast and simply can’t take to go orders and/or the phones get busy. Skinners seafood was our go to, plus Islanders, pirates pizza, and pirates bar and grill are all great. We also cooked up flounder we caught off the dock. For reference, we stayed at this property at the end of July; our party included myself and husband (we’re both 40), our 2 kids (ages 11 and 13), our 6 year old chocolate lab, and my father-in-law (in his 60s); none of us have mobility issues. The boardwalk out to the dock didn’t have a railing, which was fine for us but could be an issue for smaller children/elderly.If you are a low maintenance vacationer who likes gorgeous sunsets in a slightly off the grid setting, this is the place for you. We will be back next year!Also, the commercial grade ice maker has me spoiled for life!

There are a few things that could be updated or fixed and the house could really use a deep clean but none of that took away from our overall enjoyment of the trip. It was a wonderful property, perfect for our kids and dogs, and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful family vacation - location is super!
We chose this VRBO for its location, and that it had 4 BR/3BA for our family. It also has a dock (not all homes have this) that we could use, with a ladder to swim in the bay, well-lighted, and a small beach area for my 82 yr old mother to sit and enjoy as well.
The porch furniture/grill has a lot of beach-weather wear and tear, but the owners have started replacing it a bit at a time (there were some brand new chairs on the outside porch to watch sunsets/bay/etc.)
They also had a canoe that we were able to use on the bay, which was nice. This saved us from having to rent one.
A few of the kids fished off of the dock, and there is access to water to rinse off/clean fish,etc. VERY nice plus is you like to fish! There is also a sink/cleaning area under the house (garage area) for fish-cleaning, as well as a shower.
There is a well-stocked area of beach towels (towels that others have left) for you to use while there. We brought our own, but it was nice to have a few extra at our disposal.
Overall, it was a nice rental, and our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We love Dauphin Island and will be back!

Great location for family
The property was well maintained and well represented on VRBO. Our family enjoyed having access to the beach, the sound and fishing on the dock. Great experience and we will rent again.
