Our hosts were perfectly delightful and responded to all of our inquiries promptly. The property is in a beautiful secluded quiet neighborhood. The backyard is naturally private due to it's location on the point, with literally everything to offer. The heated pool was crystal clean, with a beautiful patio that separates the pool from the ocean. The dock and platform was great for fishing and kayaking. A nice quaint island beach was a 7 minute kayak trip. We saw Manta Rays and dolphin every day. This location is rare with seclusion and a 6 to 10 minute drive to anything you desire. We already booked it for 2027.Thank you.

Beautiful place for our group to relax after working the St Pete Boat Show. Nicely maintained property with stunning views and nice amenities. I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs that list pool tables as an amenity only to find out they were junk. This is a proper table with nice cues and a dedicated space. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to entertain properly. The hosts were friendly and very attentive.

We had a group ranging in age from 3-60 and everyone had an great time at this property. The kids loved the pool and amenities (it was well worth the extra cost to heat it), and the adults loved the hot tub, lounge area, and kayaks. And we all enjoyed watching the sun set while eating dinner outside each night. The house was very clean, quiet, and well furnished. There were thoughtful amenities like nightlights, trash bags, paper towels, etc. And we loved that there were little bins of sunscreen and other toiletries that previous renters left to use! Fabienne and Gerald were amazing hosts! They were the most engaged, responsive, and kindest owners we have dealt with over our years of renting on VRBO. We would definitely recommend this property and will stay here again if we ever go back to St. Pete's.

Fabienne and Gerold were extremely accommodating hosts! The property itself is gorgeous - our family enjoyed spending time out on the pool deck enjoying the views, swimming, and relaxing on the patio. The kayaks are a must-do for any guest of the residence- we enjoyed taking them out to the island and exploring the intercoastal. The home was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 10. Fabienne and Gerold greeted us at the home with homemade treats and gifts, which was an extremely thoughtful and appreciated gesture. We will definitely be staying again!

This was the BEST vacation rental we've stayed at. The location is amazing, the house is very comfortable and accommodating for multiple people to stay. Fabienne and Gerold were so welcoming, gracious, attentive and kind. We definitely plan to return for future stays. There were 4 adults (2 couples) and a 17-month old. The house worked out so well for having a toddler along. We made frequent use of the hot tub, kayaks, fishing, and pool during our week long vacation stay. The weather was ideal and it's so nice sitting out on the lanai and enjoying the weather as well as dolphins, manatees and stingray sightings. The hosts stopped by a few times to check on us and make sure all was well and that we didn't need anything. Thank you Fabienne and Gerold for sharing your amazing house with us.

We had a perfect stay here. There were 6 adults, 4 children 6-12, and 3 generations. We simply had a brilliant time. There is so much wildlife here. We saw dolphins most days, a manatee on 2 occasions and so much more. We used the kayaks to explore and went to the nearest beach in them. We paid to have the pool heated and that was great. The owners lived nearby and they were always on hand if you wanted anything. The position of this property within the bay was perfect. We also used the fishing fods supplied and we caught several fish. A great place to relax.

This was our third visit to Casa Dolphina since 2021 for our LibraFest/Birthday get away. The house was AMAZING! Lots of space for all and very comfortable beds. Gerold and Fabienne are always wonderful hosts. I tell everyone how amazing this house is, and the location is perfect. We had a beautiful week of warm and sunny October weather. We enjoyed the kayaks and the pool/hot tub. We enjoyed a beach day at Treasure Island (Caddy's), shopping and walking around John's Pass and yummy area restaurants. We were always on dolphin watch and we did see a few during our stay. We also loved our daily visit from our bird friend. We hope to be back soon.

The property itself is breathaking, with wonderful water views, a much needed pool and neat little outcoves sprinkled around the yard. A nice patio table in the shade by the water, a tiki hut with a dining table, a grilling station and a dock with some primo fishing. The interior was spotless, the rooms were large and plentiful enough to fit 10 of us. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked and the sunroom was a great place to relax and umwind.

This is by far the absolute best rental home I have ever stayed in. The hosts are so incredibly nice that all of my friends and I wanted to ask them to adopt us :) Truly though, from the second I booked this place until the moment we left, we felt welcomed by Fabienne and Gerold! They are two of the kindest, most thoughtful humans we have ever met and that same thoughtfulness has clearly gone into every aspect of their home. The pool was pristine, the hot tub was clearly cleaned right before we arrived, the dock was amazing, kayaking to the island was surprisingly easy (took 5 mins), the beds were comfortable, the outdoor shower was awesome, and the chill room was perfect for game night. Everything was exactly as pictured or better and the location was perfect. When we arrived we were greeted by Fabienne and Gerold and they brought us homemade cupcakes that were delicious! Upon leaving they also gave us a personalized gift as a thank you which was truly the sweetest thing ever. This place is beyond perfect, made my bachelorette party incredible, exceeded all my wildest dreams, and I can't wait to plan another trip here where I can bring my (soon to be) husband! Thank you both so much from the bottom of my heart. Casa Dolphina is the greatest!!!!

All over 60 spending family vacation together, weather was beautiful until the last day, layout of main level full bath off garage/poolroom was a little far from the bedrooms and garage/ billiard room was very warm to play pool in at most times. But over all we had a blast.
