Hi Jim! That's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the location and found the property so clean and well-appointed! We're thrilled you're down for a beach volleyball tournament – sounds like a blast! We'd love to welcome you back anytime. Maybe next time you can rally some friends for a rematch on the courts and another relaxing stay here! - Beach Life Vacation Rentals
Went on family vacation for my son’s 18th birthday. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Great location. Loved that the condo had all beach needs that was needed such as chairs, umbrellas, etc. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. We absolutely loved and will definitely be going back.
The place was as advertised, a very clean two story condo. The rooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the TV had a lot of channels. Private parking under the unit was great. Lots of sand toys and man the location was the best part. Walking distance to everything we could need. Only complaint was they warn you not to lower the AC below 68 or it will freeze the AC unit. That’s fine if the controller was upstairs but it’s not. It’s easily 75-80 upstairs all the time. Even with all the fans on we were still hot all night. It didn’t help that the mattress protector retains heat so whatever side is on the mattress is sweating. Check in was easy and the property management was very responsive. Check out was great compared to some other places. We did not have to do half the work before leaving like other places. Overall I would not hesitate to stay here again. There is a good reason they have such a high rating.
Clean rooms. Cozy and comfortable. Very short walk to the beach. Another perk is parking directly under the unit, which kept your vehicle in the shade and out of the heat. Great location!
Absolutely adorable condo in the perfect location! The owners have gone above and beyond to make sure each of their guests have everything need for their stay!
Can't say enough good things about the condo and our stay. Very clean and nicely decorated. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Would recommend this condo highly!!

Great place, great location
We had a wonderful stay and vacation, great place, great location. Right next to the beach, walking distance to wonderful shops, restaurants and the Hangout. Cannot wait to go back.
We stayed in June 2021 and we're very happy with our experience. The location was truly one block from the beach (and the beach bathroom). The space was clean and as described. Stayed with a 3 year old and had no safety concerns (minus stairs which seemed steep). Would book again

Wonderful location and unit!
The unit was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of 6. We had four kids under 8 and the walk to the beach was a breeze. It was easier than staying in a high rise with elevators, parking garages, etc. The owners have everything you need to take to the beach and that was a major plus for us! Sand toys, chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach wagon...all stuff we didn’t have to pack or purchase. We walked to the Hangout and several restaurants each night. We will definitely stay here again’
Family Friendly and Close to Everything! (Beach Included)
This property and the convenient location have our family already excited to go back to it! Although the bedrooms are on the top floor, they provided a baby gate that worked out perfectly to contain our 18month old. There are TVs in every room and the living room which was nice, too. Proximity and convenience to the beach/restaurants/shopping was PERFECT. There is a shower in the parking area so we never even used the ones at the beach- we just rinsed off in the one by the condo. The only recommendation I had for management was to provide a new beach buggy (hopefully a 4 wheel wagon that can fit kids and coolers) because the one provided was tall, with only 2 beach wheels, and had holes. The manager said they're going to provide a new one soon which makes us even more excited to return! Our whole family loved our first trip to Gulf Shores Beach! Restaurants we loved: Crico's Pizza and Acme Oyster House!
Nice condo with updated decor! Great access to beach and family members stayed next door with decks joining so you could run next door or eat together. The only drawback was we needed more than four towels! Wonderful time!
We are a family of 7- including a baby. We all stayed at the house comfortably. Plenty of room. VERY clean. PERFECT location- straight across from the public beach/beach bathhouse/beach walkway. Highly recommended all the way around and we will be back!!

Kerri - I appreciate your wonderful review and hope you will visit Dolphin Villas again!

The unit was nice and had the amenities we needed and that were advertised. There were only 2 drawbacks. There is a skylight in the hall upstairs that lights the hall out side the the bedrooms and bath very nicely. However, it is not shaded so by about 10am onward the upstairs is twice as hot as the downstairs. It makes both rooms fairly hot when sleeping at night. The second is road noise. Loud vehicles, emergency sirens are easily heard from the master bedroom so if you are a light sleeper bring a fan or some ear plugs.
Other than that, the place was convenient to walk across the street to the beach, and nearby restaurants. Enjoy your stay.

Perfect location!
The condo was clean, decorated perfectly beach and could not have been better located. Steps from the beach with a convenient crosswalk. Walking distance to great restaurants and attractions. The pool area was also clean and secluded from the rest of the area outside the complex. We will definitely be back!
