Nice, clean, & centrally located

We really enjoyed our stay with our 9 month old child at this condo. The place was really clean and the beds are comfortable with plenty of extra blankets if needed. It is centrally located in Gulf shores right next to Walmart and Publix for whatever you would need on your trip. And you can also get to the beach in just a few minutes drive, or could bike there if you wanted to. We also appreciated that the condo is on the first floor. We would definitely stay here again next time we are visiting the area. The only critique that I would have is that there is not a great selection of cookware and knives to prep food, but other than that, it was absolutely wonderful.

Beds

Master BR was comfortable, 2nd BR bed was very hard. Bathtub needs some safety non slip items on floor. Toilet paper roll was coming out of wall and needs to be moved about 16 inches up and away so to not hit it when using the toilet. Other than little issues, a nice apartment.

Sports-cation in the best location and so comfortable!

Our family visited Gulf Shores for the 1st time for a sports-cation. The location was perfectly located. Close to Wal-Mart and other stores. A short drive to the beach and located near the ball fields we were playing at. The beds were SO COMFORTABLE, the showers worked amazingly, and the kitchen was stocked well. Loved having the washer and dryer because it was definitely needed after multiple days at the ball fields. Highly recommend!!

Positive in every way

This property is located conveniently to the beach, a variety of restaurants and everything you might need. It was very clean. I always travel with disinfectant spray & Clorox wipes to use before we settle in. However, I did not need to use them! Everything was great! We want to go back.

Nice retreat

Paige has her home decorated so nicely. Her own artwork decorates many of the walls and gives you a beach vibe right away! The king bed was very comfortable and most nights a very peaceful place to sleep. Our last 3 nights we had some young spring breakers who disrupted our sleep. The location close to the Gulf Shores State Park was awesome! The State Park Beach was our favorite. We hope to return again!

Enjoyable 4th of July

We really enjoyed your home, and we appreciate you sharing it with us. We had everything we needed, and it was so clean and neat. The pool and grill area was perfect for our family, and it was close to all of our favorite places. This was our first July 4th on the beach, and it was an amazing experience.

About the host

Hosted by Paige and Blake Cook/Owner

Host profile image
We live in north west Alabama and have raised our family here. We have two adult children that are married and enjoy visiting them as much as possible. We own a mantle business that keeps us busy, so in our spare time off we head down to Gulf Shores ourselves. We have visited many beaches in the states and this is our favorite one. You will enjoy your stay at our place, it will feel like your home at the beach. We strive to make all our guests have a great vacation.

Why they chose this property

We love Gulf Shores and would visit a couple times each summer, until one summer we stayed here at Dolphin Villas and fell in love with the condo and the area. So we had to have one. Located one mile from the beach, also from one to three miles to the famous LuLu's, Tacky Jack's, putt-putt golf and the fun Track. You stay here and it just feels like a home away from home.
