Excellent Location

Our entire party enjoyed staying at this property. The house is nice and the location is close enough to Duval to walk, but still very quiet and peaceful. Great view of the water to watch boats come and go. We had 5 people and everyone was comfortable both inside and out. The downstairs master bed still had the stripped sheets from the previous renters laying on it when we arrived, but if having to make a bed upon arrival is the worst thing that happens on vacation, then you’re doing good. We would stay here again for sure.

Perfect Location

The house was great. Very comfortable and spacious. Walking distance from many great places and restaurants. We barely used the card. Love hearing the Star Spangled Banner in the mornings. The view from the terrace was just perfect.

Wonderful Stay in KW

This was our 3rd time staying at this property in Key West and it was, again, an excellent stay! The location can’t be beat...within walking distance to everything, clean and secure within the Truman Annex, and the home itself is wonderful! Great pool, amazing views and plenty of space for everyone. Working with Compass was a very smooth process as well and they were always prompt when I had questions. We would highly recommend this property to any group traveling to Key West. Can’t wait to return for trip #4!

Beautiful house perfect for 7 adults

We absolutely loved our stay at Dolphin Watch. We were 7 adults and it was the perfect size. The view from the balcony is beautiful. The pool was wonderful and we used it every day. Its the perfect location; close to everything. We rented bicycles and either rode them or walked. We did have some confusion with getting the gate keys but got that resolved the 2nd day. Would highly recommend this property however, we noticed the price has gone up considerably since our booking.

wonderful

House was comfortable, beautiful view, well designed and decorated. Convenient location for walking to town and biking the park. Beds are super comfortable. Gave 4 star instead of 5 because some supplies were minimal or not there. Example, only 2 wine glasses in the house. No paper or pen. No laundry basket. Inconvenient to carry loads of laundry up and down the stairs.

Dolphin Watch Stay June 2010

First time using VRBO. Was very impressed and pleased with the the process. Completely satisfied with the property and had a great vacation. Photographs of the property were exactly what the property was and then some. Lots of storage space, plenty of extra bedding available in the closets, washer and dryer worked very well (although both could have been larger) and kitchen appliances were very good. The only item we could have used were some pool instructions and we would have gladly cleaned the pool since we used it every day. We did find it difficult to get into the facility and finding the entrance after picking up the keys (but then again we had 6 people giving instructions on how to get to the property). Would not hesitate on using this facility again.

Perfect location, beautiful home.

This home is beautiful on the inside and has a beautiful view. A couple of issues: Foundational problems that caused large cracks (actually had to tell my daughter not to step on them and enter her bed from the other side) in the tile in two of the downstairs bedrooms. Master bedroom has open windows on the stairway so there is no privacy from a noise perspective even when everything is closed. Pool needs to be resurfaced as my friend scraped herself up pretty badly. Despite all of my complaints, it's a very beautiful and comfortable home. Big thumbs up on the oversupply of cushy beach towels as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing view, perfect location!

Rented the house for 4th of July week. Had some other couples join my wife and I. The view of water and cruise ships was fantastic. Truman Annex is a unique spot just blocks from all the action on Duval Street. Convenient parking place for unloading bags/groceries. The upstairs master bedroom is great, along with living room/dining area on 2nd floor. There is a new park being finished adjacent to the annex. Looks awesome. The only issues we had with the property; a TV from the 90's in the living room needs to be updated. Ice maker in the fridge didn't work. The guest bathroom downstairs is dated. Weeds (including poison ivy) next to the pool deck need attending. The pool itself could use some work as well. We're looking to be back next year. Just may rent an HD TV if need be. I understand that some owners won't put money into their place as long as it stays booked, which is a shame because this place could be perfect!

Comfortable spot for R&R

Overall a very well equipped house - nice kitchen in particular. The lay-out is very comfortable for a family or several couples. The location is also very good - in the quiet Truman Annex, but within easy walking distance to many great restaurants and Mallory Square. There was lots of rain during our stay which caused a small leak in the living room - a maintenance man came to check it out when we reported it but was not able to repair it because of the rain. Hopefully that will be addressed before the next rainstorm.
