Guest reviews

“This was perfect for our spring break with the kids! Lots of room even though it’s a duplex. Having the beach right out back was perfect especially with the little ones and it was great that they had beach/pool equipment we could use!”
Jeanne, March 2026 · stayed at Dolphin View A · review on Airbnb
“Our family stayed at Sarah's home for 3 days while we attended my niece's wedding on the beach just a few houses down. The house was perfect - plenty of room for our party of 11. We enjoyed the beach and the pool. Plenty of parking for our 3 cars. Sarah communicated proactively, and responded quickly. I highly recommend this home...and Sarah.”
Clarence, March 2025 · stayed at Dolphin View A · review on Airbnb
“Great spot for a family vacation. Sarah went the extra mile to make sure the pool was heated for the little ones during a cooler period in the weather.”
Alexander, February 2024 · stayed at Dolphin View A · review on Airbnb
“This was the perfect place for a sister getaway to celebrate a milestone birthday. It's down the strip away from the bustle of the giant condos and the house is right on the beach. Having the pool on the beach side (rather than the street side) of the house was an added bonus! …”
Elizabeth, August 2023 · stayed at Dolphin View A · review on Airbnb
“Overall, we had a great time staying at Sarah’s place! Great views and we loved the pool. Plenty of space for our group! Close to a lot of great restaurants!”
Hailey, October 2026 · stayed at Dolphin View B · review on Airbnb
“This was the ideal property for a girl’s trip!!! Having such phenomenal steps-away access to the beach, and a portion of the beach that felt away from the Gulf Shores hustle bustle — gave us the feel of our own private beach … the location was ideal!!”
Lori, September 2026 · stayed at Dolphin View B · review on Airbnb
“We had a wonderful time at Sarah’s beach house. Great location, easy to get to and close all the popular spots. Lovely beach house, great pool and beach is just a short walk. Sarah was quick with responding to my questions and made our stay great. Would highly recommend to anyone.”
Miranda, September 2025 · stayed at Dolphin View B · review on Airbnb
“Loved the location. We were in town for a baseball tournament, and the location was perfect for easy trip to the fields and getting to the beach as fast as possible after.”
