Charter fishing is great.

You can charter boats for both fishing and sightseeing. Enjoy taking a boat ride to see the historic Sand Island Lighthouse.

We spent a week of R & R. Easy access to a private beach. Loved the pool for night swims. We cooked our meals and enjoyed the mini reunion of our entire family from 2 yrs to 80 yrs. Plenty of room for everyone. Went fishing and everyone caught something. The locals were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed Hamburgers from The Loon Restaurant and pastries from the Local Bakery. The guys went golfing - bring your own clubs. The ones you rent were not much to write about. Otherwise is was enjoyable. The girls took the Ferry to Gulf Shores for some real shopping. Everyone enjoyed the relaxed home feel of the house and the quiet community.

This is an amazing house. It is close to pool and beach. The house has everything for the kids too (beach toys, puzzles, games, general toys, and a ton of books) There is a beach cart and a wagon and coolers to bring stuff to the beach along with umbrellas and beach chairs. Cable tv and internet to research our day trips to new orleans and mobile. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We were a family group of 8 adults and 2 kids.

A spectacular vacation home and setting. We had seven adults and we could have added three or four more easily. Plenty of room. The house was clean, comfy, quiet, and completely stocked. Plenty of cookware, dishes, towels (also toys and games, if you bring the kids). The screened porches caught the southwest breezes from the Gulf. The hammock and chairs on the back deck provided lots of space for stargazing. The ice maker was very popular. The bikes were a nice bonus and made it easy to get to the Lighthouse Bakery, Skinner's Seafood and the Lending Library. It's not the most beautiful beach in the world. The natural gas rigs sort of disrupt the horizon. But the beach is a 2-minute walk (through lovely dunes) and it's perfectly situated to see the sunrise and sunset, not to mention the moonrise and moonset. The owners made everything easy; they were helpful and attentive but from afar. We did nothing and took all day to do it. It could only have been better if the house had been on the beach. Still, we didn't want to leave.

Owner's Response: Thanks, David, for your kind words. I'm glad that your group had a wonderful stay at our home. So glad you got to enjoy all the sun and moon scenery at our private white sand beach. We always enjoy our time there, away from the crowds! Thanks again for your stay!

We stayed at the Harmony house from 3/17/2012-3/24/2012. This house had everything you could possibly need. It was stocked with high end amenities in every room. The guests in our group ranged from 7yrs old to 65yrs old and there were goodies for everyone. This house had every board game imaginable, a lending library for every age group, Razo scooters, fun cruising bikes, sand toys, beach umbrellas and tennis rackets. The home is at the end of a nice quiet cul-de-sac that made it nice for the kids to play without being worried about cars coming by. 3 of the bedrooms in this house are attached to bathrooms - so it's perfect for entire 3 families. There is so much room for everyone to have their own space and relax (inside or out). The locals were more than accomodating. We had a good time at the Pelican Pub and enjoyed a nice dinner at Barnacle Bills. The beach was a quick 4 minute walk to the soft sand beach. Tennis courts, playground, pool and shower house are so close too. The owners of this property called us to make sure the stay was going well and insure that we were enjoying ourselves. We hated to leave and look forward to going back. Thanks for everything!

A spring Break that really was a break

This place has it all. All you have to do is show up and have a good time. Even with rainy days there is plenty of space and lots of things to do. In a private gated community we felt safe letting the kids run a bit. The beach was great and the watter warm enough for swimming (in March!) We really hated to go home. The owners keep the place well maintained. What more could you ask for.

Wonderful spring break!

Three generations thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful getaway! The home is so spacious and well laid out. There are several areas to get away and enjoy a good book. Two separate tv areas kept the kids occupied and we all enjoyed the screen porches. Pizza from Island Rainbow was yummy and the shrimp poor boys from the Common Loon were large and delicious. The bakery is a do not miss, especially on Sunday.
The kids loved all of the sand toys and bikes. The only downside was the fog. Apparently it is common here in the spring. Most days it burned off and it did add a spooky atmosphere as it would roll down the street.
This was our first visit to the lovely Alabama beaches but I suspect it will not be our last!

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your stay! We're glad you enjoyed all that Harmony has to offer, and glad you took our hint about the Lighthouse Bakery and Island Rainbow being on the "do not miss" list! In fact, we visited BOTH today while doing our "between guests" work! So glad that you have discovered Dauphin Island!

Everything Needed and Wanted for a Great Family Get-away

We rented this home for a 3 generation family get together and get-away. Family ages ranged from 2 to 60's and we had everything we needed; from crib through bikes & toys, dvd player, gas grill,etc. Short walk to beach passing the pool and tennis court along the way; all of which got good use. Quiet beach island, but enjoyed fun day at water-slide and jet-ski rentals.
Highly Recommend. Owner very friendly and helpful.

Our family, and 2 other groups of friends, just returned from 7 days of Heaven at the Harmony Beach home. I have never stayed in a place so well equipped to provide every possible need!! We loved the bikes, the outside seating, the hammock and we seriously appreciated all the beach chairs, umbrellas, and wagons!! What a huge help for traveling to and from the beach. Our weather was perfect. Only one day of clouds. We highly recommend eating at the Island Rainbow, the Pelican Reef, and Beaudeens. All serve great food. The house is as beautiful as the pictures show. Very comfortable beds, and plenty of room in the house to spread out. There were 9 of us total and never once did we feel cramped in the house. The owners have done an amazing job of keeping everything organized and made us feel very welcome to be there. It was an excellent experience and we highly recommend Harmony Home to anyone looking for a relaxing place to spend their vacation.

The house is spacious, comfortable and we totally loved our stay.
We were out for relaxation, quiet walks on the beach, a little biking of the island(bikes supplied)...all of these we had. If you have children there is so much for them to do. We were a group of adults, but we had fun with the puzzles supplied...but there are lots of games etc. Highlly recommend the local seafood shop for buying fresh fish and the bakery shop on the island was amazing.
We like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked. (my mom made homemade pasta and my husband made a gumbo) . My favorite was sitting on the screen porch and reading- very comfortable.
Thank you Julie!
