Great location, great hosts, great price point. Dogs next to us barked ALOT, I traveled with my dogs and was always worried they would misbehave or do something but they were snug as a bug and are great travelers by now so no worries from me about barking or causing a scene.

Overall great pet-friendly option for travelers with pets. Walking distance to beach, and just a short 30 minute drive to dog-friendly Fort Morgan. Walking distance to food and good coffee. However, slightly difficult check-in process due to poor communication from Host. Never received “check-in” instructions. The “Association Rules” with all information was hidden behind fridge. Host was quick to respond to address issues.

We loved our stay at Dapper Dolphin! It was a perfect place for me, my fiancée and our 4 year old dog to enjoy our week. Nice pool and you can walk from your front door to the ocean in literally 10 mins or less. Melissa was a great host and had lots of recommendations to provide. The place was clean and the AC kept us cool in the heat. Great size fridge and freezer to keep you stocked up for the week. We would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

Host profile image
While road tripping with my family in 2018, one of our stops was in Gulf Shores. I fell in love as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and heard my feet squeak when i walked. Within 6 months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year, not a cheap rental. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our french bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!

Why they chose this property

The Dapper Dolphin is located in the quieter part of Gulf Shores. It's close to everything and has everything you made need for your stay.
