Great location, house needs updated

Loved being in a quiet neighborhood. Loved being close to the golf course. The outdoor kitchen/grilling area was great. Nice to have an extra fridge.

Quick Birthday Get Away

Very clean and affordable with a variety of beds. House had everything needed. Beautiful outdoor area. Lovely plants in yard. The back deck was large, but back yard was a bit over grown. A lot of potential with the back yard area. Only one tv for the entire house, but we didn’t watch much tv. Water hoses, outdoor shower and sink available that helped wash sand off. Definitely worth the price.

Great Location

This house is in a great location. It’s has plenty of room for a family. Definitely needs some attention to the outside landscaping both front and the back. The inside was clean for the most part, but needs a deep clean of baseboards, light switch covers, walls, doors, doorknobs, etc. The beds, floors, and furniture were clean. The outdoor shower was a fun surprise! Other than the few things mentioned, it was a great house and contributed to a fantastic weekend! Thank you!

Great Home - Central Location

Whispering Palms is a great central location and easy hop to any beach or local food. Neighborhood is quiet and the back yard is like a secluded oasis. While the home was stocked with the bare basics, it lacks the personal touches we’ve experienced in other Vrbo homes. There were no matches or fuel to start the fire pit (and the wood was left in the pit, so it was damp from rain), there are no spices aside from salt and pepper, and there wasn’t a single pen/paper or recommendation of island locations to visit. If you are looking for a house to stay in, this is great! If you are wanting a home to stay in, this misses the mark. We loved Dauphin Island and would easily go back. We would even stay here again; we would just bring more with us!

Wonderful Island

We loved the location of the house. Neighbors very welcoming. House needs outside maintenance, very overgrown. Outside patio and furniture in disrepair. Home on the inside was very clean when we arrived. Beds very comfortable except the sheets did not fit. Home missing table lamps in the bedroom, a broom, toaster, hangers and other smaller items. If you are planning on cooking in the kitchen it does not come with much. Great restaurants, visitor center, and beach.

Laid Back and Comfortable

My sisters and I used Whispering Palms for our annual getaway and were very pleased with the choice. Dauphin Island is a relaxed place, especially in the off-season, and this house was a budget- friendly choice that still felt like a fun splurge. A few nitpicky issues (igniter on the grill didn't work, ice maker in fridge got clogged) but nothing that couldn't be worked around and nothing that significatly impacted our stay. We really enjoyed all the space in the house and the firepit and outside kitchen in the backyard. An exterior sink and fridge are a huge plus for prepping the fresh seafood that's abundant in the area. Local businesses, like the bike rental, are very accommodating; our bikes were delivered and picked up from the Whispering Palms driveway. Plus the house is an easy ride to the East and West ends of the island. You get all the fun of the beach without the hectic Gulf Shores atmosphere.

Not bad

House fit our needs for a quick stay. Bring your own streaming device for the TV, trying to use the LG useragreement is painful. They provide dishwasher pods but no liquid to use in the sink. Photo like flashes from the smoke detectors made the daughter and wife a little sckeptical to the point I removed them. All and all beds were comfortable and appliances worked as they should. Dogs in adjacent yards somewhat annoying.

The stay was great. It’s a precious house. It’s well worth the great price…The check in process was stressful and booking through VRBO and then having to jump through hoops to prove my identity with Vacasa and them sending me an email that they’ve canceled my stay when I was already there, then getting the wrong code from the person I sat on hold with for an hour, then having to call back while my kids stood outside getting eaten alive by mosquitos was terrible. I then received an email about a stay I booked in Las Vegas which was inaccurate… check in took about 4 hours after arriving. It was not an easy process.

Great place for fishermen!

Very practical, especially great for those going fishing. There’s a skinning table on the side of the house with a sink and water hoses all around for washing off the boat. We enjoyed the gas grill on the back patio and the extra outdoor fridge was perfect for our drinks and other items. 3 minutes from the boat ramp and plenty of room for a family to stay. Would definitely stay again in the future. There’s a basketball goal which was fun, so bring a ball!
