The infamous LuLu's is just across the canal. McDonalds, Zaxby's and Tuesday Morning are located around the corner from the condo's entrance. Wal-Mart is only 3 short blocks away. Wonderful local gulf seafood abounds, with my favorite spots being King Neptune's, DeSoto's, and Acme Oyster. Hazel's Nook, since 1957, and is a small mom and pop restaurant with breakfast and lunch, both buffet and menu. Jesse's Restaurant in Magnolia Springs is a hidden gem. Buc-ee's Store just up the road on Baldwin Beach Expressway 52,000 square feet of everything from roasting cashews and pecans, t-shirts, gifts, homemade fudge, and so much more. Moe's Original Bar B Que is in Orange Beach. Paula Dean's and Lambert's in Foley are a must. The Flying Harpoon has been featured on Food Paradise, famous for their crayfish cornbread. Cobalt's in Orange Beach has recently been voted the best seafood restaurant in Alabama. There are a lot of restaurants (many with outside seating), shopping, golfing, live music, fishing, boating, and water sports nearby.

The Park has 3 hour free bicycle rentals at multiple kiosks throughout the park. Download the Bloom Ride Share app on your phone to access them. To really see the parks miles of paved trails, rent an electric bicycle from Pedego Orange Beach. You can pedal a little or lot, and let the battery do the rest. It's a lot of fun. We rode 23 miles, and can't wait to do it again! Make sure you have a park map of the trails before you start.

Less than one mile away is the David L Bodenhamer Recreation Center. It's a Gulf Shores Recreation Center offering non-resident daily passes and monthly subscriptions. If the weather takes you indoors, there is a heated indoor pool, fitness room, and indoor walking track.

Clean, comfortable, perfect location
The condo was clean and welcoming, and cool on arrival! The description is accurate. Location is great. Close to local stores, beach, attractions and off the main road. The pool is literally steps from the oversized patio. Community is quiet. The beds were so comfortable, we actually were able to get good sleep. The owners were quick to respond to my messages. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Amazing Stay
The condo was fabulous! We came from Pennsylvania to Alabama for softball. Each family from the team all rented a condo at the Dolphin Villas. The pool was great and the pavillion was great for team dinners. It was so nice to be in this location instead of a hotel! It felt more like home and was spacious enough if another family wanted to come say hi. Would definitely recommend the Villas, and would stay there again if in the area!
