Beautiful location
The house is dated, but the location is fantastic, being only a very short walk from the beach and minutes from any needed amenities.
The check-in process is a little painful, with such a late check-in and then they let you know it is available early, however it is inconvenient when you are planning your trip to arrive for your scheduled check in.
Once you get past the automated attendant and get to a real person, the property management team is fantastic. After a city wide power outage, the AC to the house didn’t kick back in. Once I got a live person, they had the issue resolved within hours.
Overall, a beautiful location and the house had everything you need to have an amazing time at the beach.
The house indide needed wiped down,or painted. Dog oder, sand everywhere, dog hair behind doors from where it hadn't been vacuumed. WI dows inside were filthy. Kit hen ta le wobbly, deck chairs broke,or splintering.

Dolphin 2
Pro: close to the beach and convenient to stores and restaurants. Property manager was very responsive.
Con: The property is not an ocean view as it states, it is 5 houses from the beach with large dunes blocking any potential view. The views are either of the street or the neighbors. Ocean view is not critical to me, but don’t false advertise. The property desperately needs maintenance and updating and a very deep cleaning. Some of the steps leading up to the property are uneven and unstable. The carpeting needs to be replaced. The floors were so dirty that our feet were black from walking on them. The bathroom floors next to the tub were dirty and had hair on it and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in awhile. The bedding in the master had dog fur on it. We have dogs and chose this property in part because of the ability to bring them, but they don’t sleep in our bed and I expect not to find someone else’s dog fur in the bed I’ll be sleeping in.
The property has good potential but I wouldn’t book again and wouldn’t recommend until it’s cleaned and maintained.

Perfect family beach getaway
My family and I had the best time here. Property is simple, clean, and had everything we needed for a week at the beach. We had zero complaints.
