Dolphin View Duplex A Beachfront | Pet Friendly

About Dolphin View A

Welcome to Dolphin View Beachfront, Side A, proudly hosted by Avara Stays. This is one of Gulf Shores' most desirable beachfront getaways: a private beach, a heated beachfront pool shared only with Dolphin Duplex guests, and sweeping Gulf views from two private balconies. You get the privacy of a beach house without the crowds, elevators and long walks of a high-rise condo.

Picture it: coffee on the balcony while the sun rises over the water, the kids in the pool before breakfast, a long afternoon on the sugar-white sand, and burgers on the grill as the sky turns pink.

“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!”

Airbnb guest, March 2026

“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.”

Airbnb guest, March 2025

“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.”
