We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice and clean. We loved the screened-in porch and the beach view. The beach is a short walk from the house. To watch the sunset we would drive to the rocks / stump hole. Sun-rise can be seen from the Bay. There’s a book in the house with lots of helpful information regarding restaurants and things to do. We rented bikes and those were enjoyable as well.

GREAT stay at Dolphin Cove!

We really enjoyed our stay at Dolpin Cove. The house was extremely clean upon arrival, cheerfully decorated in "beach" decor without being "condo beachy". Excellent beds, plenty of towels. Just a really happy place to stay. We will definitely try to rent this home again in the summer.

Awesome beach house

With the exception of the neighborly visit from a friendly cottonmouth, we loved the house. The house is very roomy. We loved the screened in porch in the evenings. The boardwalk makes beach access very easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved staying here. It was out of the heavy traffic area so quieter on the beach. The house was clean, well decorated , well stocked & all one level. There was a basket with towels f& toys for my pups so I felt they were also welcome to be there. Great access to beach.

Quiet old FL beach house - great to unwind

Located in a rustic subdivision, the one-story house on piers is gulf front right behind the dunes, and you can see the Gulf over them. Large quiet-ish beach, easy walk to restricted nature area. The home has a nice screened-in deck. Near the wet lowland, so bring DEET bug spray for no-see-ums and mosquitoes. Didn't bother us. That's old Florida for a couple of months per year.
