Perfect quiet area to relax.

Great getaway spot for 2 people. Selling point was ability to bring our dog. Located in a quiet area. Within 10-15 minutes from anything you want to do on the island. Host had helpful information listed on things to do, places to shop and eat. Island was clean/beautiful and surprisingly not crowded. We had a great time and plan to be back.

Great dog friendly place to stay!

Dauphin pod was a great dog friendly place to stay for my husband and I. It was centrally located on the Island. The beach was about a .5 mile walk so I would suggest taking a little wagon to haul your beach gear. It was very clean and had all the essentials! Communication with the host was very quick.

Peaceful

Property was more than we were expecting. There was plenty of outside sitting, and indoor space for just the two of us. It was clean and had all the necessity for a week’s stay. There was a grill for some home made dinners. Only bonus would have been an outdoor ceiling fan in that area with possible misters, that would have made it top notch.
