The beauty of Dauphin Island awaits right outside your doorstep! Nicknamed Bella By The Sea, this home is at the end of a cul-de-sac and offers the ultimate relaxation for you and your loved ones. Kick back with a good book in the Adirondack chairs on the covered balcony. Sizzle recipes on the gas grill, then dine alfresco at the six-person table. Take a leisurely soak in the hot tub, or stretch out on the hammock. Inside the home, you'll find an open floor plan that makes it easy for your whole group to socialize. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, the spacious kitchen offers ample room to prepare home-cooked meals. There's even an ice machine for added convenience. Gather at the dining table for six when it's time to eat. The smart TVs provide entertainment and the beach-inspired decor adds charm throughout.

As part of the DeSoto Landing community, this home provides access to an array of amenities. Take a walk down the boardwalk to dig your toes in the sand at the community's private beach. Spend sun-soaked afternoons at the on-site pool, or practice your swing on the tennis court. An outdoor shower is available after your beach excursions.

Stay was great from check I, response of property management, availability of beach items, linens, towels and kitchen items. Having a hot tub available was great but had a lot of sand in there before our usage and ended up buying a hot tub vacuum to clean. Overall, best and quiet neighborhood and close to beach access. A team even came by to roll out the trash can before we had the opportunity to do it ourselves. Fantastic stay, definitely would love to use the same home again for a vacation. Boys had a great time crabbing for dinner and got to go on nice Long Beach walks myself with the hubby.
Beautiful setting, outlay
Great short walk to the beach
Lots of sand crabs, blue crabs for crabbing

Great home with tons of beach toys, chairs, etc. Make sure to bring all essentials for cooking if you plan on eating in. There are no supplies for cooking, but the best options for pots, pans, utensils, coffee makers, etc. I have seen in a vacation rental. Great spot to relax on the upstairs screened porch or the bottom outdoor sitting area with a hammock and hot tub! Close to the pool and boardwalk to the beach. Great places to eat and just unwind!

Nice Place - read on

Our evaluation of the property is good but what is important to us may not be to you. The house is in good shape, was clean and well stocked with amenities. Everything from a good washer and dryer to plenty of useful items in the kitchen. The internet was not working when we got there which didn't let us watch TV either. They were responsive and fixed it within 24 hours.. The TV in the master bedroom had not been set up and did not have a proper remote to control it (not a battery issue). The TV in the bedroom is nothing to complain about, just an FYI. The house had bikes, beach chairs, hot tub, etc and everything was in good condition. Pretty much as advertised. The house is in a gated neighborhood which is nice so even is all the houses are full, the population density of the area is still low. This was very nice. Our issue is that the beach is about 1/4 of a mile away. This was made tougher by the fact that the ramp path to the beach was under repair and we had to drag our stuff through the grass. The beach was great and not commercialized. It was the to and from the beach that was our only complaint. If you have small children, the furniture in the place like the couch and indoor dining chairs have light colored cloth coverings so keep control of the snacks and drinks. We would like to come back sometime when our kids are older and are able to help take things to the beach. The big issue for us was having distant access to the beach with small kids.
