The laundry room is located under the house and includes a full size refrigerator.

Spring break trip
We enjoyed our stay, beds were not comfortable. Ladder was broken when we arrived, we let owner know but received no info back regarding it being fixed, we were hoping to be able to jump in water at the house but were unable to. Otherwise everything was as expected.

Enjoyed our stay but would not return.
Pros: Great views, great location. Whoever they had work on the dock ladder and screwed down the deck boards that were loose. Interior space was enough for 8 people to comfortably hangout and relax if weather is bad. Exterior space had a lot to offer but needs tlc. See below. Cons: Place can use a little work. Dock deck boards are so far spaced out even adult feet can fit in them. Throughout the upper and lower decks nails came loose and some stuck out all the way. I asked for a hammer from the maintenance man and pounded down nails that we thought could cut feet. Upper deck spindles are way too far spaced. 6 inches or more. Small kid could fall through.

Thanksgiving Stay
The location of this property was great! Loved having immediate access to the water for fishing and relaxing. Check in/out procedures were simple and we had no issues. The dock had a few spots that need repair, and are quite the tripping hazard especially at night. The main floor bedroom had a dirty comforter, but there was an extra provided so we replaced it on our own. Some of the towels in the bathrooms were stained/dirty. The main living area was nice and spacious. The kitchen was missing a few main necessities such as dish soap, and paper towels/napkins. Make sure you stock up on what you need before going to the island as there are not many options to get groceries/necessities. Overall, it was a decent stay but could have been a bit more clean.

About the host

Host profile image
I have always loved the beach and sun. I enjoy the serenity and peacefulness that our vacation home on the bay provides. I hope that when you visit 'SOL-MATE' on Dauphin Island that you enjoy it as much as i do!

Why they chose this property

Sunsets, sunsets, sunsets.....My husband and I looked for quite a while for the perfect little vacation home. You can change the carpet or paint the walls but you can't change the views that a home offers. 'SOL-MATE' provides an almost endless view of the sun setting over the sound in the afternoons.

What makes this property unique

'SOL-MATE' just feels right. There are bigger homes on the Island and nicer homes on the Island but, I don't think that I would trade Sol-Mate for any of them. SOL-MATE doesn't feel like it was furnished from the 'vacation house superstore' It has character and history. SOL-MATE has an authentic value to it that draws you in. It often seems that the house was built just so I could have a glass of wine and watch the sun drop into the bay. With so many houses just 'stuck' into the sand everywhere, SOL-MATE seems to belong where it is, as it is.
