DANCING DOLPHIN: GORGEOUS. RELAXING. POOL. BEACH.

Dancing Dolphin is a gorgeous stand-alone, beachfront, home that is located directly on the Gulf! It has 10 foot ceilings with crown molding, is professionally decorated, and has wonderful gulf views from most rooms, including 4 out of 5 bedrooms!

Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.

Comfortably sleeping 21 with four of the five bedrooms located on the gulf side so you can wake up to the water out your window. The Dancing Dolphin in Gulf Shores also has a large open living/dining/kitchen area, and includes TWO Gulf Front Master Bedrooms, each with its own tub and separate shower.

Main Floor Bedroom: King
3rd Floor NW Bedroom: King
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: Twin Bunk + Twin over Full Bunk
3rd Floor SE Bedroom: King + Bunk
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: 2 Queens + QSS

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

BONUS FRIDGE AND DISHWASHER
Yep. TWO refrigerators and two dishwashers... You won't want to ever have just one again!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 8 cars. In fact, you could park more cars than you should be driving for a 21 person home! Inquire if you have special vehicle needs.

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home! That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests troubleshooting it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a starter supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.

We have several other homes, some with elevators, and some really big ones (12 bedrooms!). One as small as a 3BR on the lagoon. Send us a note if you have other needs. Need more Blue Heron is a door down Get TWO homes right by each other. Or, how about FOUR Blue Heron, Dancing Dolphin, Egret and Erica's Sandpiper are all less than .2 miles apart! Best wishes. Rick

    We've had a lovely stay at Dancing Dolphin. We have especially appreciated your customer service, so we'd like to book with your company again. I'm curious about Dancing Dolphin for the return, and Blue Heron property too.

    We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed the pool, beach, game time on the dining tables and were able to cook or order out all of our meals. We are traveling next May, so we are passing on booking for 2026. But we hope to be back and wouldn't consider any other house for our family beach vacation. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

    We had a great time, the house was a great fit for our family! The pool was Perfect too as a few days were So hot...of course. No suggestions come to mind, but a heads up if needed that the upstairs bedroom, with the bunk, shower head dripped. We forgot to report it and may not be something the cleaners notice. We will definitely recommend your properties to friends!

    Great location, but no extras in the house..games, toys, beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, beach toys.How was dirty when we got there, but property manager quickly responded and sent cleaners back out. Lights in master bedroom didn’t work. Ice making in fridge didn’t work. Beach was beautiful, dolphins in the morning! Great pool! Kitchen is bigger then it looks

    We had an absolutely wonderful week at the Dancing Dolphin! The kids sprawled out and loved the bunk beds while the bigger girls claimed the front ocean view room with the double beds. We usually stay further down in Fort Morgan, but loved the location and convenience your home provided. We still got the secluded beach feel with way more food options and activities nearby. We might be adding more to our Spring Break crew next year but if we don't, we'd absolutely stay in your home again. Thanks for having us!!

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I was planning on booking for next years spring break, but have since found out that the grandkids have two different spring break weeks next year. We definitely want to return, just trying to figure out how to make it happen. May have to be when they get out of school. Ugh, I love spring down in GS. Thanks so much for the great houses that you have! I tell everyone about Bama Beach Houses. Oh, and no alligators this year but did see this Eagle on the beach our first day. We think he was eating a Seabass.

    We stayed at the Dancing Dolphin in late April with our family which included 7 adults, a 3-yr old and a 1-yr old. It was the perfect house for us. Everyone had their own spacious bedroom and bathroom, along with a very open and roomy kitchen and great room. Being right on the beach with a covered pool was great! Having 2 full refrigerators and 2 full size ovens was fantastic. The only negatives we had were a couple of bug sightings, a cool pool (even though it was heated to 82 degrees), and the a/c on the main floor didn't circulate well in the bedroom. We will likely rent again for our next family vacation!

    This is a beautiful property there are no doubts about that. The view is amazing. The only negative we had was there were not enough towels for everyone. There were no dish towels to dry the dishes. Nothing extra in the house at all. Other than that, enjoy your stay. You will enjoy it very much.

    Your home was absolutely wonderful. We had such a fantastic trip. Two of the lodge chairs on the third floor balcony were broken probably just from sun exposure. Didn't affect us at all. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We are looking to rebook next year.[Thanks so much Kris! Glad you had a fantastic time in Dancing Dolphin, and that I could get next year locked down for you all. Have a great rest of 2024!]

    Stayed at Dancing Dolphin with my family and grandkids in April. The house is amazing, had everything we needed. Huge eat in kitchen that is very well stocked. Bama Beach Houses' staff is very available and super about everything from first making the reservation, to super easy check in. We have used various agencies over the past 6 yrs to stay in Gulf Shores and BBH is by far the best in customer service. I am so happy we found them and we will be a repeat tenant. Thanks for a wonderful vacation experience. [Thanks Katy! See you on the calendar already for next year too! Really appreciate the warm fuzzies! ? Thanks again!]

    We had 12 people consisting of our kids, their SOs and our grandchildren ages 10-18. We wanted plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and this property was perfect. We were there over Memorial Day weekend and the following week. The beach was almost empty on all days except Memorial weekend. Even then, the beach behind the house very private. There is no public access close to the house. The only people in the beach are those renting nearby houses. We utilized the pool also. Everyone had a great time. We cooked everyday except 3. We ordered out Cricos pizza (very good) on the day we arrived, Shrimp Boils “to go” from Gulf Shores Seafood Market (wonderful and extremely reasonable) and ate out at Bahama Bob’s (we were disappointed in the quality of our meals). The kitchen has two ovens, two dishwashers and plenty of dishes/cookware. So many wonderful memories were created. The cousins have had very little contact in the past and they made friendships that will last a lifetime. We had a couple of issues and the property manager was very prompt with responding and taking care of them. Everyone wanted to “do it again”, so we have already booked for next year.
