It is Boardwalk Realty’s highest goal to maintain a family atmosphere for the quiet enjoyment of our guests and neighbors. Only responsible adults over the age of 25 may register.   No sororities, fraternities, school or civic groups are allowed.  Absolutely NO HOUSE PARTIES or weddings will be allowed. Violations of the above are grounds for immediate eviction and forfeiture of rent and deposit.  Identification must be furnished upon request. 

Our office hours are Monday-Saturday 9:00 – 4:00 Central Time; we are closed on Sundays.

The rates published are the rates set by the owners of each of the individual houses. Boardwalk Realty acts solely as an agent of the owner and cannot negotiate prices.  All reservations are subject to 11% lodging tax, $30 non-refundable reservation fee and $55-$150 (based on house size and linens) non-refundable cleaning fee.

Due to Hurricane Katrina there may be construction or repairs taking place on the Island during your stay. Not all view pictures have been updated at this time.  PLEASE CLICK ON BERM LINK AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.

During the summer season, our vacation rentals rent from Saturday to Saturday only. During fall, winter and spring some units are available for periods less than one week.   Reservations may be made by phone (Toll Free 1-877-861-3992) or in person at our office. All homes require a reservation deposit, ranging from $200.00 to $500.00 that is due within 10 days of making your reservation. If your deposit is not received within 10 days, your reservation will be cancelled with out notice. A rental confirmation will be mailed to you upon receipt of your deposit.  Because you are responsible for the accuracy of your dates and unit, please carefully check your confirmation and call 1-877-861-3992 immediately if any corrections are necessary.  

Your reservation deposit automatically converts to a damage deposit at check-in. If a deposit is not received within 10 days, the reservation will be canceled without notice. This deposit is placed in an escrow account and DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RENT. Our check for your full deposit will be mailed to you approximately 21 days after your departure, provided there is no damage, the unit is left tidy, the kitchen is clean and all dishes have been cleaned and neatly put away, all trash is removed and placed in the proper outside container. Excessive cleaning after departure will be considered damage.    

Many Summer season rentals require an advance rental payment equal to 1/2 of the rent be made at least 60 days prior to arrival. The remaining balance is due at check in.  If reservations are made in a unit requiring advance payment with less than 60 days to arrival, payment equal to 1/2 of the rent must be made at the time of reservation. 

We ask our guests to report any breakage or damage to 861-3992 upon occurrence and to  settle the matter before departure.  Inspection crews carefully check properties and you will be held responsible for damage beyond normal wear and tear.

The total number of persons allowed in the property at any one time is restricted to the stated limit for each property.  Surpassing the stated limit will result in the forfeiture of deposit and rent, and you will be asked to vacate the premises.  In addition, the number of vehicles parked at  rental unit should not be excessive.

During your vacation you may make reservations for next year, subject to rate change and availability. Your deposit will be refunded automatically unless you request to “roll it over” for the next year.  

For rentals occurring during summer season, if it is necessary to cancel reservations or change unit/dates a full refund will be made, less $30 for expenses, if the reservation is cancelled/changed more than 60 days prior to the arrival date.  If the cancellation/change  is made with less than 60 days prior to the rental a full refund will be made, less $30, provided we can re-rent the house for the same time period and rate. If the unit cannot be re-rented the deposit and any required advance rental payment will be forfeited to the unit owner. 

For rentals occurring during winter, spring & fall season, if it is necessary to cancel reservations or change unit/dates a full refund will be made, less $30 for expenses, if cancelled/changed more than 30 days prior to the arrival date. If the cancellation/change is made less than 30 days prior to the rental a full refund will be made, less $30, provided we can re-rent the house for the same time period and rate. If the unit cannot be re-rented the deposit will be forfeited to the unit owner.

 Cancellations, late arrivals or early departures due to inclement weather do not warrant any refund of rent or deposit. There are no exceptions to the cancellation/change policy due to personal circumstances.  Please note that no refunds or discounts are given for power outages or mechanical failures of household appliances or utilities featured. Boardwalk Realty will make every effort in repairing or replacing such items.  

If we are put under a hurricane warning and authorities issue a “Mandatory Evacuation” order for Dauphin Island, we will prorate your rent and credit you for the number of nights you could not occupy the unit. The money will be refunded along with your security deposit as soon as it is possible considering the conditions. In the case of a “Voluntary Evacuation” it will be your discretion to leave. No refunds will be given in the case of a voluntary evacuation.  

Full payment of the rent, taxes and applicable fees is due upon arrival.  For rental payment we accept cash, personal checks, traveler's checks, certified checks, MasterCard and Visa.  In addition, we now accept American Express and Discover cards, however, a 3% convenience fee will be added to any American Express or Discover charge.

Upon departure, please dispose of all trash in proper outside containers, leave kitchen items clean and returned to their proper place, lock all doors and windows, remake the beds and generally leave the unit tidy then please return the keys to our office.

Rates, descriptions and availability are subject to change without notice.

Though we are all pet lovers, no pets are allowed in the rentals we manage. The only exceptions are those houses with “Pet Friendly “ in their description. Additional charges and requirements may apply to pet friendly reservations; please call for details.

No smoking is allowed inside any home designated "No Smoking".  Evidence of smoking in non-smoking homes will result in forfeiture of deposit. 

We make every effort to keep each unit and its equipment in good working order. In the case of a breakdown, we will strive to repair it as soon as possible after we are notified of the problem. Notification should be made as soon as possible. No refund or adjustment will be made for mechanical failures.

A maximum of two keys will be provided. They are picked up at our office at check-in and returned there upon departure. If you become locked out of your unit after office hours, a $15.00 service charge will be deducted from your deposit. There is a $5 charge for lost keys.
