Sunshine Escape

Everything in the house description was spot on! It was clean, comfortable, and convenient to anything that you'd want to do. The little things that were provided like salt and pepper, coffee filters and foil, beach towels, not to mention the shampoo/conditioner were totally awesome and unexcepted! You are literally in the middle of the Island and it makes for a very easy run to get groceries, going out to eat or shopping; even going to the different Islands, an hour either way!We enjoyed our stay here very much and would recommend it!

Amazing vacation home

Our stay was amazing. We go to the keys every summer but this by far was the best stay. The house was perfect for our family. The pool was amazing and the water view and dock were perfect for our boat and getting out to the water quickly for fishing. Definitely recommend

Family Getaway

We had a great time on our family vacation, the house/pool were awesome, so comfortable and relaxing! The pool definately served its purpose, and I highly recommend paying to heat it. So worth it! Also, there were so many "extras", particularly in the kitchen! We would absolutely choose to stay here again! Thank you so much for providing us with such a memorable getaway!

Great Stay!

The home was just as listed and even more amazing in person. The property manager was quick to respond and made our stay seamless. The home was very clean upon check in and had everything needed for a week’s stay. The grill and pool were just what you needed after a day on the water. We did bring two boats and found there to be more than enough space for docking with direct access to the gulf side and just a few minute ride to the Atlantic via 7 mile bridge or vaca cut. Sunset cruises were the thing with just having to shoot out the canal for a million dollar view. We thank you for allowing us to stay and would definitely book again!

A True Relaxing Retreat

The property was as advertised and found to be perfect for our needs. Well appointed and immaculately clean. A few minor issues have been related to the host which I a sure will be taken care of. The only major initial issue was with the pool being heated which was rectified in short order. As related to the host, the amenities listed include “Heated Pool” only in the fine print and after the booking did I see the charge for heating. As I said the host and owner rectified the situation and all is good. I just feel there should be truth in advertising. If there is a fee for pool heat list it up front not hide in fine print. VRBP should request this

Great Property (but watch out for cameras)

This is a wonderful house in a great location. Perfect for a family gathering, with enough rooms for people to be in different places, too. The outdoor space is great. We docked a 28 foot boat easily. The kitchen was great (perhaps the best equipped we've had in a vacation rental). Would highly recommend the property. It appears to have recent upgrades. We spent a week. There were a few "glitches." We had arranged for the pool to be heated, but the pool pump was broken, so no swimming. The property manager was good about communicating about the issue, but it could not get fixed as our visit was between Christmas and New Year. The hot water in the showers was not really very hot (it was hot in the sinks). The most upsetting thing though was that the property had three external cameras that were not disclosed to us; one pointed at the swimming pool. And we know that the owner looks at them as we were contacted when we looked at the pool equipment to see if it was running. So the cameras did not ruin our vacation, just made it a little creepy.

Christmas stay

The place and pictures are accurate and the place was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. We had an infant and they had a pack-n-play wish we knew about because we brought one. Location was great we drove to Key West one day and it was an hour and easy drive. The pool we had heated and it was well worth it and a great pool with a nice back yard area to relax. I would recommend and would def stay again in the future.

Great family get away!

The property was just as described. The house was very clean and well supplied. The pool was a total hit. The location was great. Plenty of good restaurants and the beach were close by. Loved that there was a pack n play. A few beach chairs would have been nice but we made do. We would definitely rent here again.

Wonderful Vacation

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Dolphin Retreat and it was truly a delightful experience. The house lived up to its advertisement, especially for us as avid cooks, with its well-equipped kitchen. The highlight was definitely the beautiful and inviting pool, which was wonderfully warm. Additionally, the host's responsiveness added to the overall outstanding experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a lovely getaway.
