About this property

Dolphin View Duplex A Beachfront | Pet Friendly

  • Welcome to Dolphin View Beachfront, Side A, proudly hosted by Avara Stays. This is one of Gulf Shores' most desirable beachfront getaways: a private beach, a heated beachfront pool shared only with Dolphin Duplex guests, and sweeping Gulf views from two private balconies. You get the privacy of a beach house without the crowds, elevators and long walks of a high-rise condo.



    Picture it: coffee on the balcony while the sun rises over the water, the kids in the pool before breakfast, a long afternoon on the sugar-white sand, and burgers on the grill as the sky turns pink.



    SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (4 BEDROOMS, 3 BATHS, SLEEPS 14)

    • 2 king master suites

    • 1 bedroom with a double bed

    • Bunk room with 2 twin-over-full bunk beds (twin on top, full below; sleeps 6)

    • Sofa bed in the living room

    • Beachfront with private beach access, steps from the back door

    • Heated beachfront pool, shared only with the other side of the duplex

Great location, family-friendly!

Nice quiet duplex, amazing location! Nice bunk room for the kids with some kid-friendly amenities (PNP, high chair, pool toys, beach toys). We spent a ton of time on the deck and pool area. We really enjoyed the heated pool and multiple daily walks to the beach - tons of sand toys and a couple beach chairs + beach towels. Very close (driving distance) to the best hangouts nearby. We grilled out every day. Our kids had a blast and we would love to come back!

Nice

House is nice but outdated. There were some issues with the cleanliness of the place when we arrived. Contacted the property manager and issues were handled promptly. There are only 3 beach towels and only 12 regular towels and some of the regular towels were hand me downs from 1980. The furniture is comfortable as well as the mattresses. The pool is small but enjoyable. The neighborhood is safe and fun and of course the beach is great.

Great stay!

The stay was great! Property holder even turned the pool heater on for us. Now, this house does have some maintenance issues. We changed the beeping smoke detector batteries upon arrival. Fridge door didn’t close properly but was reported and management offered to fix immediately but we were ok with closing it shut and checking each time. Microwave above stove is unplugged and sparks when plugged in but they offered another working safer option on the counter. Overall great stay and would return! Highly recommended!!!

Loved it!

Don't know what these other negative views are for. But, it was clean in a great location. Messaged the property manager and she always quickly responded. Like the pool light wasn't work on our first night. Messaged her and she got right on it and said the pool guy would be out the next morning and he was. No other issues beach want crowded the whole weekend. You could actually set your beach stuff up with anyone being right on top of you. I would highly recommend the beach house to everyone to book.. I'm coming back next year for sure..

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The house was very clean and well kept from the moment we arrived. The hosts were wonderful—very easy to contact and always responded quickly whenever we had questions. The heated pool was a huge highlight for our family, and the beach view was absolutely beautiful. Everything about our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a nice property that’s right on the beach and also has a pool. It supplied things for babies (high chair/gate), and also things for the beach like umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc. There were some minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance but the owner was easy to contact and offered to take care of them.

Wonderful stay with great owners

We had a wonderful stay. The owners proactively reached out to us ahead of our stay. The home was updated and very clean. It made us feel even safer getting away during a pandemic. The beach areas with condos were extremely crowded, so we were very thankful to have a beachfront property with no one around us on the beach and in the water. We will definitely stay here again!

Great beachside duplex!

We had a wonderful week in Gulf Shores. The place was exactly how the listing portrayed the property. Plenty of room, very clean, tons of beach gear to use, and fully stocked with essentials that made it feel close to home. We had great communication with the owners before and during our stay. The location was perfect being just far enough away from the “T”. We will look to book this place again when we return!

Great location directly on the beach, The swimming pool is small but clean. Furniture and including beds were good. The manager was very prompt with any problems and they were corrected or fixed right away. We did expect a gas grill instead of a charcoal grill but the grill was very nice but a gas grill would have been better for us.

Amazing House & Location

We loved everything about this home. It was in great condition and everything was great. The pool area is so nice, and the chairs are nice. The walk to the beach is not long from the house and the location of the house compared to town is very nice as well. The house was very well equipped with kitchen supplies and beach towels. Our family had a great time here and I would recommend it time over time.
