This unit is wonderful. From the moment you open the door, you feel peace. It is clean, beautifully decorated and it isn’t cluttered. Paige leaves detailed instructions before you arrive on how to get in and she has detailed instructions posted on how to leave the unit. The complex is close to anything one would want to do, yet just far enough, 1 block, from shopping and Gulf Shores DR, that you aren’t immersed in the busyness of the area and you have no problem parking. It’s within walking distance to the grocery stores, and is a quick drive to the beach, gas station and places to eat, drink and shop. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you, Paige, for offering up your beautiful place for others to enjoy.

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.
