Disappointing
No clear check in info, place wasn’t clean. We brought our own vacuum and had to use it right away. Bad communication from the owners. Made up rules about pets that contradicted their listing.

Dolphin house was wonderful
We stayed here visiting family and were very happy with the entire stay. Communication was excellent and any little issues were handled quickly and thoroughly. The house was very clean and very inviting. Beds were comfortable and towels were big and fluffy. The full size washer and dryer came in handy. Kitchen was well appointed and cooking was easy. Loved the screened in porch where we could see birds, squirrels and the ever curious lizards. Even saw a big pileated woodpecker in the tree one morning while having breakfast. Was conveniently located near a grocery store and a pharmacy. Would stay here again iof in the area.

Beautiful Home
Such a gorgeous home and very spacious. It’s conveniently located near a grocery store and a very cute park, and beach. The house was very very clean and smelled amazing. The property owner was very communicative as well. We had no problems. Such a gorgeous porch too to relax and have a coffee on that they provided! Along with teas and such. 10/10 I would stay again.
