Great location and fantastic house!

We greatly enjoyed our time on the island. First time staying at the Sandbar. The house is in great shape and the master bed is awesome and super comfortable. The views from the crows nest are amazing and you can spend hours looking at the the pelicans diving for dinner from the decks. Even saw some dauphins. The weather was perfect.

Overall enjoyed our stay. The deck was awesome. The swing a big plus. Location was really nice. I liked being close to Sunset Beach, such a great place on the bay side to walk.

A Beautiful May Getaway!

This was our third visit back to the island, but first at this property. The kids (ages 5-15) have dubbed this house “the absolute coolest” because of the crow’s nest! We were 100% pleased with the quality of the house and our stay! The location was perfect, and the beach was so beautiful. We can’t wait to come and stay again!

We have been here two years in a row. It's very relaxing for the family and even our dog Bear. We are thinking about booking it again for next year. The staff members that I met were very nice and friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Spring Break

This was our first time to Dauphin Island. The home and Island were great. We will be looking to stay again at The Sandbar unless we need bigger accommodations. The 4-star rating is for only a few minor things and should not be deal breakers.

Family Get Away

The house was perfect location! Everything we needed was in the house including beach towels, games for the family and plenty of space. Cleanliness rated 3 star because the couches need to be replaced. They had a terrible order. Take out the couch issue and I would rate it 5 stars.

2 week stay

We stayed in this home last year and again this past 2 weeks. The floors in at least 2 spots are sinking. The ice maker in the frig didn’t work. Some of the kitchen equipment needs replacing.The bedroom door didn’t stay closed. Otherwise the house is in a great location to the beach. Beach is awsome. Dogs are welcome. Beds are comfortable. Bring toilet paper dish soap,laundry soap , and ice.

Last Blast Before School Starts

We loved the Sandbar! The accommodations were exactly what we had hoped for. There were plenty of linens and beach towels. The kitchen was stocked with plates, cups, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans. We grilled out one night and the grill was in good working condition. There was plenty of space for everyone. The porch and the crow’s nest were favorite places to hang out and enjoy the sea breeze as well as see some beautiful sunsets. We were literally 30 seconds from the beach which was not crowded at all when we went (end of July). My teens enjoyed fishing from the beach. I highly recommend to hit a grocery store before you get to the island. We ate at the Reel Deal and Pirates Pizza- both were great. Definitely need a car or golf cart to get to and from the property if you want to grab food or get supplies. We will definitely be coming back!

Don't stay here. I want it all to myself

The entrance door does not lock properly. It might need some lock oil in the key hole. You need to giggle the key back and forth for a minute and maybe, it will lock.
