About this house rental
Located directly on Perdido Key's beautiful sun washed beaches on the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. With only 6 homes in The Dory complex, the pristine white sand beach is practically private. This is the kind of place that quickly feels like your vacation home-away-from-home. With a private entrance, this 3 story townhome is all yours for a great beach getaway!
This is an amazing Gulf-front property that you and your family will enjoy and will want to return to for many years to come! The well maintained, beautifully constructed townhome has two balconies that face the Gulf and look directly out to almost astonishing emerald green and sapphire blue water. The Dory is conveniently located in the heart of Perdido Key, but it feels like a secret spot. The shopping, local attractions and fine dining to be found in Downtown Pensacola and Orange Beach are just short drives away. PKRM guests are invited to take advantage of complimentary excursions like golf at Lost Key, deep sea fishing, cruises on Perdido Key's beautiful local waterways and even admission to OWA Amusement Park. Each reservation comes with the opportunity to enjoy one fun excursion per day.
The custom unit is decorated with stylish, comfortable furnishings. There are flat screen televisions in every room along with many features to enjoy. Guests love that there is plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and stretch out with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/4 baths. There are multiple sleeping configurations to accommodate up to 9 people. The primary bedroom has a King sized bed. Guest room 1 has a Queen sized bed and Guest room 3 has a Queen sized bed, and a twin bed with a trundle. There is also a sleeper sofa in the main living area.
There is plenty of parking with 2 spaces outside and a private garage large enough for a sedan. With all of this to offer, The Dory will book up quickly. Be sure to make your reservation ASAP to ensure availability.

we have returned to this unit four years in a row. The amenities are wonderful. The place is very nicely maintained, and the location couldn’t 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 can’t 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 wasn’t 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 it’s just me. Instructions said to tell Alexa unit we were checking out but I didn’t see any Alexa. Also couldn’t 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 didn’t. 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. The house was very clean and the private beach was great. I enjoyed making breakfast while being able to see the ocean.

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 hasn’t 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!
3.0 / 5.0
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.

This was our first time staying at The Dory in Perdido Key. It was everything described in the property details. Sometimes pictures don't match the descriptions however this one did the job. Great location, only downside was climbing over the dunes (I knew this would be an issue after reading other reviews...still knowing that I would definitely stay here again). The Dory was the perfect getaway that our family needed.

We enjoyed our stay , the property is lovely! The kids were disappointed since there was no pool but that was my fault for not checking! I have two complaints about the property... one is the air conditioner is old and doesn't cool the home very well and two nights the air kept cutting off and we had to sleep in an 80 degree house! We called and two fans were brought over until a service call was made due to the holiday. The other was that the bed upstairs was broken and i kept leaning into the middle! Overall the home was clean and in a quiet area with great views!

Our family recently stayed at the Dory F for a week. The location was fantastic and just a short walk to the beach.The townhouse smelled and looked really clean. Some furniture could use some replacing such as the master bedroom couch and the deck furniture. My couch in the lower bedroom was very dirty. One of the deck chairs was completely broken and rusted down. We were unable to use this chair at all. The unit needs more deck chairs period. The kitchen items needs replacing! The skillets were in poor condition and a limited supply of silverware and four coffee cups in total. For a few thousand dollars the owner could fix this place up and it would be amazing. The location was superb , but the insides were lack luster. I get that it is a rental , but please think of those who rent and want what they pay for. We still had a great time regardless of the flaws.

Beautiful, quiet beach. Great view. Very comfortable. Reasonable distance to grocery store and restaurants. We want to stay again and see if we can rent 2 units for more family to attend. Thank you for a great time.

We loved the overall privacy compared to other areas. The townhouse was beautiful and was the perfect size for myself, husband and our 4 kids. We had everything we needed plus more. So accommodating to all our needs. We will definitely be staying at the Dory again! The location was also perfect and near some amazing places to eat and things to do as a family.

The condo and private beach were a joy.
The condo has what we needed to cook and play
It’s time to upgrade a few things but we were comfortable
It’s easy access to anything you want to do
Be aware the 2 sets of stairs are steep and should be considered when booking

We are not "crowd" or "high rise condo" people. We just want nice, simple and easy. That is what we got. We were very satisfied with our experience.

The Dory F
Overall great townhome! There were a few things we had to take care of personally on the property including a toilet repair and light bulb changes. However the maintenance crew came on arrival day in a timely manner to fix master bedroom window treatment, garage door and back door hinge. I would stay at the townhome again!

Location is perfect and while the amenities are almost complete, they are not just the best.
It should have been better if the unit was provided with a griller to use. We’re on vacation and the reason we selected this type of accommodation is so that we could prepare food. Safety can be remedied. The couches should have been cleaner. And the garage could be used if we could open it.

Beach vacation
Overall we were very pleased with the property. When we were looking at the pictures on VRBO we thought that the downstairs was a separate living room and that there was a bedroom on each floor.
