Although the view of the beach from the downstairs patio was obstructed by sand hills and weeds, we were easily able to walk over the hump and go straight to the water. The kids had a lot of fun. The house was spacious and clean. Wish we had more beach chairs and umbrellas, kid toys but we just went down to the store across the street to buy some, no biggie, just come prepared with those. I'd recommend this place because it was private, silent, and well-maintained property. I'd stay here again if we ever visit Perdido Key in the future. Management was quick in responding to small details and observations. No issues.
Great location. Unit was clean and kitchen had everything needed. We had some minor issues and the management company was fantasticâquick response and follow up that all was good. Walk out the door to the beach. We had a great stay!
We had a great time with family at this property! We all live in different areas so it was great getting to come and stay on the beach as a family. The townhouse was nice - grateful it had a baby gate for the stairs and we really enjoyed the area. Perfect location!! We would love to come back next year! Also, the guys loved the golf course - thanks for the coupon!!
This is the second time we have stayed in the Dory units. Both condos were clean, comfortable and well equipped. We love the the view of the beach and easy access to the beach.
My wife and I have stayed here a number of times with friends. But this year we brought the family. We have 3 grand daughters that love the beach. This property is ideal for the beachgoer. We enjoyed being all together. Thanks for having us.
we have returned to this unit four years in a row. The amenities are wonderful. The place is very nicely maintained, and the location couldnât be better.
property turned out great.
we have stayed at another property in Perdido Key the
last several years.
check in was smooth. and the best thing was offer to
check in early on Saturday. that gave us the whole day Saturday to enjoy the beach.
the unit also had chairs and umbrellas available on ground floor that we could use. was a real plus+ !
this unit conveniently located to access all of Perdido
Key. We will likely book it again for next year.
Highly recommend this place.
We love this condo. This is the third time we have stayed here. Plenty of sleeping room for our family of 8. The kitchen is supplied with all the necessities. Everything is close to the condo when we do leave the beach. It is perfect. We canât wait to go back.
Great place to stay, short walk to the beach and looked just as the pictures show. Great for a family. We loved our week there and just a short drive to everything you need. Quiet area out of the way from all the craziness. Would definitely stay again.
The Dory was equipped with everything we needed for a week at the coast, and even with multiple adults, there was plenty of room for everyone relax. A short path led to the beach. Although it wasnât crowded during our stay, it was nice to see that the area immediately behind the condo is marked off for her guests.
Each unit is allowed only two parking spaces, which would likely be more than enough for most families. We had four vehicles to park, so we did have to utilize off-site parking (just a 5 minute drive down the road).
The only truly negative issue we had was when my daughter stepped off the patio and onto a rusty nail (likely fallen from the overhead platform supporting the air conditioning unit). Since it punctured her heel she received a tetanus shot at a local urgent care, along with instructions to stay off the beach for the remainder of our stay.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Dory, and would definitely consider returning should we ever be in the Pensacola area again.
Great place to unwind and get away. Private beach without the crowds. Property manager responded quickly and provided an outdoor hose for washing off sand. Will definitely return.
Perfect location! Very quiet area just a short drive from things to do. We really enjoyed the private beach. Home had everything needed for our stay, including beach chairs. Check in and check out instructions had me slightly confused, but maybe itâs just me. Instructions said to tell Alexa unit we were checking out but I didnât see any Alexa. Also couldnât figure out the fancy thermostat. Home was clean, well stocked with needed items, and felt safe. All the other units had a hose outside for rinsing off after the beach, but this one didnât. That would be my only suggestion for improvement, a hose to rinse. This was a great family trip and many wonderful memories made and we thank you for hosting such a wonderful time.
This is a beautiful clean townhouse and well provided kitchen. The view from the property is beautiful and the beach was clean and not super busy and like the fact that it was a private beach for the townhouse. It is a perfect place to vacation with the kids. The only downside is we were short on some comforters but otherwise it was a great stay .
Beautiful place, very clean, amazing views from the balconies. Great place to visit my son and his friends while he is at the navy air base. Such a relaxing home with a well appointed kitchen so we could all enjoy a home cooked meal and watch some football.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Dory. Super clean, had everything we needed, and we loved being right on the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the things you might need. That hasnât been the case in other places we have stayed. I do wish there was a space for pantry type food but we made it work. We will be back for sure.
Overall a great place and location. The beach was not very crowded and we had plenty of space without having to fight for a spot close to the water. The place was clean when we arrived and everything was as described on the site. There were a number of beach items under the stairs for our use.
Overall stay was great! As far as bedroom layouts, storage capacity, the master was great, however the other two bedrooms lack in storage space for a weeks worth of luggage. Additional dressers would be really beneficial. :)
But again, the overall stay was great!
There were two primary negatives with the property.
1) The dryer was not working. The management company admitted that a part was on order and a temporary repair had been executed prior to our arrival. The part was not due in until after our departure. It tioj two phone calls and going to the management office in person before they offered any solution to the issue, which was to let us use another property near by that was not rented, to wash our laundry (for a day). This is obviously less than optimal when the purpose of renting a beach house for a week is to enjoy the water.
2) We discovered mouse feces in the cushions of some of the living room furniture the afternoon before we departed and there was mold/mildew on the base boards in the upstairs bathroom.
That being said, the location was really good, easy driving distance to the National Seashore and Orange Beach if you wanted more dining options. The beach was right out the back door and the view from both blaconies was great.
