Great vacation sopt

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!

The place was very clean and very welcoming when you walk in the door. Was very pleased with the space the room provided. The bed was a little rough sleeping -- I think it could use a new mattress. It seems to have the old coils in it so that makes me think it's pretty old. The remote didn't work for the bedroom fan or light so that couldn't be adjusted, probably just batteries. There was just a half a roll of paper towels, no extras. The pool was amazing. My dogs were very comfortable. Most of the other guests were very very nice. The TV quit on the morning of our last day and wasn't sure if it was on a timer, not sure of the situation with that. It has incredible location to the beach and to shops and overall was a wonderful vacation.

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.

Great great get away

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.
