Great Location
We really enjoyed our stay At Dolphin Harbor and would definitely rent again. I don’t understand why you have to go by a office 4 miles out of the way just to get parking passes. Those could easily be left in the condo. The ice machine didn’t work but other than that it was perfect.

Family Spring Breakers
We enjoyed our stay. We we were not told the pool was closed and it was spring break. The adults would lay out by the pool but nobody was allowed to swim and one of the owners would approach you if you stepped foot in the pool. I feel the pool should’ve been closed and locked up or open and swimmers allowed. We stayed with our doors opening to the pool with teens and preteens on spring break yet they were not allowed to swim. This should have been disclosed before booking. Also, several lamps didn’t have light bulbs. The housekeepers showed up and knocked on the door at 8AM the day of checkout and sat in their car directly in front of the unit until we left.
The managing company, however was very nice. It seems the HOA at this complex is not very easy to deal with and the property management company is at their mercy.

Great property
We had a great time staying here. When we arrived the pool area said “closed” so our kids were bummed the first day, but after messaging the management we found out it wasn’t actually closed. You do have to walk across a busy street to get to the beach but it wasn’t bad and the beach access was super easy and nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful inside & view!
Condo was just like the photos (but EVEN more spacious than it looks!) It was perfect for our family with adults and children. Beach access was very easy and very much enjoyed. The view from the master bedroom and patio, looking at the bay are amazing! The pool being steps away was great to get the kids right back in and into baths. Close to almost anywhere you'd need/want to go. Highly recommend this property :)
