Laughing Dolphin Your Gulf front 5 bedroom beach house by Prickett Properties

The property was in a great location but merely okay for the pricing. It needs major updating. Water fixtures, water pressure, cleaning, and the rug in the living area needs replacing! The deck had multiple nails sticking up that caused our grandkids cuts. We left a hammer in the pantry for the next tenant. The pictures are a little misleading. The best part is the beach area without others so close to you!

House was nice and clean when we arrived! Just steps to the beach where we spent our days. Not crowded it was nice!

There were several things about the house that needed attention. Early on in my stay you guys sent me an email asking if there were issues with the house and I responded to the number that you provided via text as you requested. I never heard back from anyone. This was dissapointing.

We had an overall good stay and really enjoyed the beach—it’s absolutely beautiful and was the highlight of our trip. The location alone made it worth it, and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to cook, which was a big plus.That said, the listing photos were a bit misleading. The home felt more pieced together than expected, and there were several maintenance issues throughout. None of the TVs were working during our stay, and the ice machine was also out. There were quite a few small things that could use attention or repair. Cleanliness was okay—not terrible—but it could benefit from more attention to detail.With some updates and better upkeep, this property could really match its potential. Overall, we still had a nice time because of the beach and location, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

We have gone to Gulf Shores a few times. We loved the location that the Laughing Dolphin was in because of the the quietness!! We have stayed closer to and in the Orange Beach area most times and this was such a welcome change!! The house was welcoming and clean when we arrived. The only problem was the ice maker which you tried and tried to get fixed. It was so nice to have such a quick response from you!! All in all We will definitely come back here!! There are so many positives about this place...the beach, the deck, the dolphins everyday and the house itself was perfect!!

Everything was wonderful!

Laughing Dolphin is a spacious house stocked with everything that we needed for a week long stay. There was plenty of room for 11 adults and it never felt crowded. We loved the location, deck, deck furniture, view, and the convenient beach access. All of the small and large appliances are newer and very clean and the ice maker was so convenient. Much of the furniture and some of the bathrooms are a bit dated. The furniture is pretty comfortable though. We were a little surprised by the cheap bathroom fixtures and command hooks for towel hooks. Unfortunately, the house smells a little musty and the small closets smelled strong enough that we didn't want to keep our belongings in them. We had to wash everything when we got home to get the smell out. There are more positives that outweigh the negatives with this rental and we would consider staying here again.

The house space was perfect however it could have been cleaner. It had much deferred maintance! I were down a shower because of no hot water and I would not drain. The kitchen sink drain was slow, garbage disposal did not work, the sink filled up with gross food when you ran the dishwasher. I told the property management company. They offered to send a cleaner out( I did not know what to do with 10 people at that point) they also said maintance would come take care of the issues and never hear from them. Nice place if the upkeep would have been done!

Yes

This was wonderful property in a PRIME location! Easy acc as to the beach and room for a large family or friends!

We enjoyed our stay at Laughing Dolphin. It’s spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 7. Great location on a private beach. Was very easy to communicate with the property manager and quick response times. Photo shows the view from the back deck.

Love the location and the property manager was so awesome to deal with! We’ll stay again soon!

Place was great! Very large, open living room and kitchen. Outdoor deck was amazing with plenty of seating and an amazing view. Beds were comfortable. There was an ice machine in the kitchen which was great! Kitchen items were a little dated (pans were chipped, can opener was terrible, knives were dull, fridge wasn’t that cold) but would definitely stay there again if we came back.

Great house, great location, just awesome!

Great location with easy check in/out. Plenty of clean towels. Older home with old selection of kitchen utensils and pots well past their prime. Site advertises availability of a charcoal grill, but grill is broken and unusable.

Great quick response to toilet problem! Good to have someone to talk with when there is an issue! We loved the tall outdoor chairs on porch and the ice machine! Really nice house! The oval tub/shower in room with king size bed on street side of house was hard to step into and get out of! Great house!

We had a great time and loved the deck. The kids didn’t want to leave

The weather was great. I loved the deck. Bed rooms were comfortable.

Great location, private beach. Would recommend to others.

We have rented this property 2 years in a row now. It’s perfect for an adult trip as there is nothing smaller than a queen bed. The beach is not busy, no condos, no hotels. Very pleasant time. Very quiet and relaxing.

Loved the location, loved the house...only problem was cleanliness. Maybe no one had stayed there in a bit. Floors were dirty (needed to at least be swept) and it appeared that someone had done some sheetrock work. There was sheetrock dust all over bathroom counters in 2 bathrooms. However, we would definitely stay here again.
