We had a fantastic stay at Sea of Love. The house looked like the listing photos. Great beach and gulf views from the bedrooms, living room, and covered deck. The covered deck was the best part. We spent our mornings out there drinking coffee and relaxing, and we enjoyed our dinners out there every night with the ocean breezes. It was fantastic that we could bring our dog. All in all it was great stay and we hope to return again one day.

Property was clean and as-advertised. We loved the place. Air conditioner worked great although the master bedroom definitely didn't get as much air flow as the rest of the house. Close to town location in gated community - large beaches, plenty of walking paths, used the grill (grill cover just about on its last legs), but everything worked well and zero complaints from us. A terrific place to stay if wanting to experience Dauphin Island with family. Pet-friendly was a big plus.

Sea of Love is beautifully designed and decorated, and the furnishings are nice. The floor-plan is great with the large gathering area in the center and instant unobstructed views of the beach right from the main road entry. The bedrooms are arranged in a unique pattern that make each feel private. I liked that the hallway with the shared bath and the back king BR are on the side rather than at the doorway. Having 4 baths is a luxury. The boardwalk to the beach over the dunes and all the wood decking and large picnic table are immaculate. Heating and cooling worked perfectly. Sunsets are colorful and visible from the house. The hosts are helpful, kind, and replied to questions quickly.
