We had an amazing time! The location was perfect as were the accommodations. I had some questions about the weather system coming in and she went above and beyond to assist me. We would rent from them again!

Family Trip June 2024
The property was as advertised, the toilet seat in one bathroom kept coming apart. The shower handle in the other bathroom was real loose. All appliances worked. Somes stains on the furniture. The refrigerator air filter needs to be changed due to the horrible fish smell..

New Favorite Getaway
This beautiful home is right over the water. I'd never been to AL and now nothing will compare to staying here. The home is clean, comfortable, and pet friendly. There were only two of us but each having our own bathrooms was nice and both bathrooms have bidets. We used to the two large bedrooms facing the ocean and loved hearing the waves all night. The beds are firm so keep that in mind if you prefer a softer sleep. The large deck is directly over the ocean. It's nice that there's a child gate between the other half of the property so that my dog could enjoy being loose with us on the deck and still be contained. There is a grill but we didn't use it. The ice maker is very small or slow so you'll want to stop and get a bag of ice. When we stayed, someone had stored fished that leaked all over the fridge and under the drawers. It was nauseating. We cleaned that as best we could, including scraping off thick goo. They did bring us some charcoal bags to help absorb the smell. Other than that, everything was great. We appreciated touches like throw blankets, chaise loungers, a couple of wine glasses available, and the hose at the top of the steps to rinse off our feet and dog paws. We loved walking the beach, watching birds and waves from the deck, enjoying beautiful sunrises and sunsets, hearing the crashing waves at night and watching for dolphins in the evenings. We felt fortunate to have found such a wonderful place that the owners are sharing. We hope to return.

Great house for the family
This is the second time my family and I have stayed. House works great for multiple people. Loved hearing the waves crash under the house at night. On the surface everything looked very nice but after just a few minutes it was clear the housekeeper doesn’t take time to clean the small things. Food splatters on the cabinets, dirt around the door knobs, refrigerator smelled like rotten crawfish and still had food crumbs inside. Not what I want to see when I’m being charged hundreds and hundreds of dollars in extra fees.

Loved the Property!
Loved the property! Probably the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. Check in code and information are through the property manager's website and not through VRBO, so not as smooth and seamless as through the VRBO app. We got the security/check in code late (as we saw in a previous review). But we LOVED the property and Dauphin Island! We would stay again!

Celebrating our 27th Anniversary
Overall we had a wonderful time. The only hiccup was we didn’t receive our code to get into the property at 3:00 pm as promised it was closer to 3:30. So, not a huge problem. We enjoyed the slow pace of the island it was exactly what we needed.

Incredible property!
Rainbow’s End was perfect! The location was exactly what we hoped it would be with the water coming right under the house. The waves beneath us were so relaxing! There was treasure trove of seashells every morning right under the house. The property was super clean and it was nice to have little thing like salt and pepper that we forgot to pack. The rental company was quick to respond to my questions and we rate our stay 10/10. Thank you Rainbow’s End for being a part of the best vacation we have ever experienced!
