This is our 4th year to stay at the Dory townhouses and it didn’t disappoint. Beds are comfy, plenty of room for our party of 9! We love sitting out on the patio and enjoying the ocean breeze. Perdido feels like a hidden gem, with wonderful beaches and great restaurants! We will come back again!

The Dory was perfect for our family! It had a great amount of space and the kitchen was well stocked for making meals. Being right on the beach allowed for early morning shell hunting and evening swimming with barely any other people around. Even mid day was relatively calm without a lot of people taking up the beach space. Would love to come back for another visit!

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.

Perfect for Family Vacay

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 our second stay at this property and we are already looking for to our next trip. The property is situated right on the beach and you are on the sand path to the beach just steps from the back door. The inside is welcoming and has a beach vibe throughout! It is also a plus to have a place at ground level to store you ice chest, chairs or what every you bring to the beach. (there is also a small room under the stairs with some extra beach items as well) I would highly recommend The Dory!

Great stay

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.
