Summary: First time staying on the FL west coast and the Dolphin was the perfect spot and comfortably fit our family of 4 on school vacation week. The cottage had everything that we needed from beach supplies, grill and kitchen items as well as the pool which the kids loved. We'd love to return next year and hopefully rent out an additonal cottage for grandparents so they can join as well. The property is conveniently located within a mile of CVS, Publix and the beach which made it a very easy, home away from home vacation spot. Highly recommend!

Summary: Loved the Villa and would stay again . Marianne was great. Just would be great to service bikes; some are rusty and need a bit of work. Overall wonderful stay

Summary: This was perfect, only wish I could have booked it for next year. It was easy to communicate with the owner’s. There was a problem the TV connection so we weren’t able to watch any local and limited news. But the said they were working on it. Hopefully fixed soon.

Summary: Place was clean and cozy. We wanted to grill but there were seeds of some kind that had been brought in by an animal so we just broiled our steaks in the oven…. I would also suggest reversing the refrigerator doors for easier access since they were next to the wall. Were new to VRBO’s, but there was no contact with the owners or managers during our stay - we found that a bit strange. But, overall, we found our little cottage quaint and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
