Great location!

We had a great stay here, we loved being close to the beach and having ice cream shops and restaurants so close by. The layout of the house is very nice for a family or couple- enough rooms and beds for everyone and a comfy couch for hanging out. We loved the deck and being able to see the water and bird watch!

Loved the location of the house. Just a short walk to the beach. The house has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The AC works great and keeps it nice and cool. The only complaint I have is that the beds could use an upgrade. Overall this place is a great stay!

Our stay at the Tiki Hut.

Great location and owner! Easy walk to the beach and an even easier walk to the bay. Lots of extras like kayaks and bikes. Only negative were the dirty air filters that needed to be changed, other than that the Tiki Hut was a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend this owner and property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Dauphin Island. Would stay here again!

Wonderful beach trip to end the summer

We had such a comfortable stay at this beach house. We had everything we needed. The beds and couches were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and updated. We really appreciated the info about local restaurants, and the kids loved the ocean decor. The walk to the beach was very reasonable and we really appreciated that there was a little wagon for us to bring everything more easily. The beach itself was beautiful and we only had a few neighbors down the way. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it!

Just a walk to the beach.

A nice comfortable stay. We were so content that we didn't even turn on the TV for the 4 days that we were there. The dining room table accommodated a jigsaw puzzle nicely. The private neighborhood beach out the front door was a perfect little break to sit and enjoy. The gulf beach was totally worth the trek if you leave the wagon behind.

Great location clean house

The stay was great, the house was clean and well-stocked. You can tell the house is dated and is mostly a vacation home but i don't even consider that a flaw just more of a fact. Check-in was easy. The walk to the beach was quick and fairly easy. My 2-year-old was able to manage the walk on her own. We would defineitily stay here again if we came back

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay at the Tiki Hut! The house was really comfortable and had everything we needed. Beach access is right across the street, and since there's no public parking lot the beach is only lightly used here. We checked out the public beach further down the island (which does have parking) and this beach was so much better! So the house is completely worth it just for being able to walk to this lovely beach. We LOVED having the bikes to ride around on, and the beach cart, toys, and chairs came in really handy because we drove so far to get here, and couldn't have brought all that stuff. So it made beach going more comfortable. It was a great week, and we'll definitely be back. :)

Fall Break at the Beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tiki Hut on Dauphin Island. The home was perfect and the views and area was lovely. John, the host, provided the needed beach items that our family would need at the beach. It was wonderful not having to pack the extra beach items as it was so graciously provided to be used. The trek to the beach was a little hard in the sand with things in tow, but we managed and the kids and us adults loved playing for hours. We caught a blue crab, a hermit crab and found endless shells and lots of core memories were made that we will treasure forever. We also explored the island in our Jeep and went to the suggested tourist attractions. We played Goofy Golf, visited the Alabama Aquarium, toured Fort Gaines, and ate at Pirates Grill and Bar. We loved the island and can’t wait to return. The Tiki Hut was the perfect, safe place to stay and relax. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Perfect Location

The Tiki Hut was fantastic! It was in an excellent location and allowed great access to all the wonderful things about Dauphin Island. You can see the ocean and the bay from the living room! Neighbors were quiet except for the bird nesting grounds at sunrise (which was wonderful actually.) The kayaks were nice and easy to launch at an access across the street. Lots of beach supplies were functional. Outdoor shower and hose were great for rinsing. Easy access to the beach too. Our only issue was having to wipe out the oven from the cleaning but that was an honest mistake. Some of the appliances are a little worn out but that really wasn't a big deal for us. Our teenage boys enjoyed the house and there was plenty of room for a family of 4 for a week!
