Perfect location

It was the perfect location just minutes walk from the beach. Shaded parking … a minute walk from the shuttle bus for the music festival. 10/10 would recommend and will stay here again

Nice stay

We would definitely recommend! This unit was very clean and in a good location. Melissa was very quick to respond and accommodate our request to check in early. Our only complaint was the person in the unit above us was running a vacuum at midnight, which woke us up and only one dryer in the laundry facility was working.

Dapper Dolphin

We liked the property. It was reasonably clean and had everything we needed for 2 nights. We were most impressed with Melissa, the owner. After a minor problem, we contacted her, and within 15 minutes she had shown up and corrected the problem. She was prompt and responsive. I would recommend this property.

Perfect space for my little family

We had an amazing stay at Dapper Dolphin! Everything was clean, updated, and decorated so cute. The bed was comfortable and my two kids slept on the pullout couch and said it was comfortable. We had everything we needed there and the location was great. It was a very short distance across the small street straight onto the beach. The pool was never busy so we practically had it to ourselves and it was very clean. Check in and check out was super simple

We Love Dapper Dolphin!

Room was clean and just as described in the listing. So cozy! Just a walk across the street to the beach! Convenient to town and all the good restaurants!! If you're bringing a pet be aware that the provided pet area isn't very large, but it works. Only complaint is wishing the parking spots underneath were a little bigger, but that's no fault of the owner whatsoever.

Clean and quiet

This was a small, clean, and tidy condo.It was just the right size for my husband, myself, and our dog. The bed was comfortable and the living room/ kitchen was perfect for our needs. Gulf Shores is not high on our vacation list. Probably will not return to the area. Condo was highly satisfactory.

A good experience!

This condo was perfect for me and my fiancé. It was small but it was perfect for the two of us and our dogs. I struggled to get in and called Melissa and she helped immediately. A small complaint I had was that it was so noisy. I heard everything that was happening above us and I woke up every day at 6 am because of it. This is to no fault of the owner of course, and maybe they were just loud people lol. We enjoyed the pool area when the beach was too rough for us to swim in. We stayed there for about two hours and we had it all to ourselves which was nice. Parking was a little tight but we were in a big truck so that was expected. The unit was mainly clean except for two fingernails that were left on the back of the couch (which to be honest I didn't think was a big deal at all lol) but other than that it was clean. I would stay here again but maybe next time have the guts to complain if the noise was bad again. A great stay for a small family.Thanks, Melissa!!

Was okay for pet owners

Upon arrival was unable to get into unit with password we had selected. Dishes had caked on food so had to wash prior to using. Floor was dirty so had to mop before walking around-some kind of black sooty substance. Pest control person showed up and attempted entry unannounced. Property manager insisted she sent a text-no text received. Pipes under sink busted. Unit was beside dumpster and with heat was sickening at times. Manager replied promptly with any issues we had. The location was across from beach with easy beach access. Restaurant, bar, convenience market, ice cream shop were within walking distance. Parking was not an issue. Pool was small but big enough for a small family.

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.
