All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This property was exactly as listed! Right next to the pool and hot tub and 1 minute to the beach which by the way was pristine! If we wanted to be tourists we could drive to Gulf Shores and have everything at our fingertips. Our trip was about gathering and building memories and boy did we!!! We will definitely be back!!!

My family has been staying in the Dunes Community since my son was in 2nd grade (he is now almost 26 years old). We enjoy the community, the lodging, and the beach. Dolphy Dunes is one of our favorite places to stay as it is just the right amount of space for our family. Sunset Properties (Becky) is considered a true friend of the family and is wonderful to work with every year. Loved our stay!

From the moment we parked the truck to the moment we drove away, this beautiful home was magnificent. I truly cannot list one thing that was wrong. It was simple yet gorgeous, spacious, tons of amenities. Absolute Perfection. We will definitely be staying here for our annual (or sooner) return visits. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This was our second year at Dolphy Dunes East in late January to March 7.... There was lots of living space ....three bedrooms and two bathrooms..nice size kitchen and comfortable furniture...pool next door and walking distance to the beach and we have it reserved again next year. One thing, the kitchen really could use some better pots and pans however. Also, this year we had no outside lighting on our deck. Made it somewhat difficult when coming home in the dark. Otherwise very nice place to stay.

Would not recommend
Sunset properties is a joke. Started off they listed a property they hadn’t managed in 1.5 years that I reserved just to get refunded money a month later with no explanation to why. Will not respond to messages via Vrbo. Unit was not ready on time, blood drops leading up the steps all the way to a smudge of blood on master bath door, stained comforter, stained living room furniture, trash in dresser drawers, bunk beds not made (“for sanitary reasons”), 1 toilet paper roll per bath for the 7 day stay, little cheap bars of soap, 1 trash bag for entire stay, no dish soap, (they only supply a “starter kit”) no beach stuff, AC drain dumps out onto the front steps, all around not clean, sand all over the floor. Location was great. Close to beach. Pool was nice. King and queen beds were comfortable, kids bed were ok. Paid $4k for this was in my opinion way over priced. Had no choice really since rest of our family booked a house next to our original reservation.
Great place and super helpful property owner! Great location, and owner was quick to reply with any communication!

Reviewer Comments:
Great, but short trip (5 days) with grandchildren! Big plus - "home allowed dogs" - who are also our "pet-children." Home was nice, clean & right next door to home owners' shared pool (pool okay, not great). Was a short walk to beach & the offered "optional/additional cost" beach rental 'tent & 4 chairs' set-up was great & eliminated lugging items back & forth to beach. Only downside or rental (which we were well aware of when we rented) was the distance down Fort Morgan Road (almost to where ended at the Fort & ferry launch), & driving time to restaurants, shopping, Gulf Shores, etc. We will definitely consider renting the home again because of reasonable cost & since it is 1 of few places where you can bring pets & they are allowed on the beach, but grandchildren will probably want something closer to activities.

Our location was great spot right next to the pool and just a short walk to the beach. The house was in good shape could us some touch up and a little organization. There were several items stuffed in the closet like pictures, lamps and other decor items. The house was comfortable and the lay-out well designed. Beds were comfortable but where we were given extra pillows there were not additional pillow cases nor other bed linens. Bathrooms were a more like hotel bathrooms and could us an upgrade. The space was not as clean as I expected it to be and I could tell that a dog had recently stayed at the property. We had a small issue with our reservation but the staff fixed that without an issue. We also rented beach tent and chairs for the stay and it was well worth it.

Everything was fabulous!! it's our home away from home!! Looking forward to our next visit!
The unit was easily accessible to the beach and the area we like to stay at. It could have been cleaner, the air vent in the ceiling was full of dust, I am not sure when the last filter had been changed. There was food under the sofa and TV stand, and dog food in the kitchen cabinet. I like the location and understand they are having a hard time getting good cleaning staff.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was overall a good value for the price. For the most part everything was as expected. The ease of arriving and leaving was seamless through the app. All the appliances and furniture were fine and in good shape. The only issue we had was with the pool next door to our house. The pool was closed the entire time we were there and did not get any maintenance until the day we were leaving. Disappointing for the kids as they were expecting to use it in the late afternoon. With the rental description listed as “Next to pool”, that’s a bit of a letdown. I reported the pool the first day we were there but nothing was done to it for 5 days and it still was not operating when we left. Other than that, everything was great.

We had a great time staying at this unit and i plan on staying there again. The only issues were that the pool wasn't open the 1st 2 days but we were able to go to the neighboring pool. The tile floors were dirty, the kitchen table was sticky and there were a few items under the sofas that should have been thrown away with the previous cleaning, but they were easy to clean myself.

This rental did not look as if it had been cleaned, at all. Bathrooms were satisfactory. Beds had been clean linens available, and towels were clean, BUT, Dust was thick on main TV, and entire TV Stand. Floors under bed in bunk room had used tissues piled under the beds. (We did not touch them). Found half eaten brownie (hard as a rock) btw. table and left end of couch.Dining table was sticky, as were countertops.The washer has major problems. When becoming off balance, it sounded as if all of the gears were stripping out, and I am surprised the tile floor is not badly cracked. It was horrible.

Loved the area and beach, very quiet and relaxing. The home was spacious, clean, bright and comfortable. Very short, easy walk to the beach. Master bedroom bed was excellent! Loved Sassy Bass restaurant just down the road. Suggest new cookware (we had to go buy a couple pieces) and living room furniture (dingy and stained). Would also be nice to have a patio table and chairs on one of the decks. Overall, we would stay in this home again.
We enjoyed the house. Great location. House was great. We enjoyed the property very much. Very roomy and offered everything we needed. The only drawback was the slipcovers on sofa could use washing. Dog hair from another guest was there. We would love to stay there again.
