The owners are lovely and the property clean and comfortable ##### Erica T. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### megan m. Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### megan m. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C., Lakeville, MN Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Nice Property Loved the landscaping, lights, fountain, and plants (very relaxing!!!!!!) You can tell the owners have put a lot of time in the details of this facility very well ran and organized Very Clean Great Location (We took day trips to many of the surrounding beaches) Just a few blocks from the beach on the bikes They have bikes, and other beach accessories you can use Laundry room was nice all new equipment $2/load Nice pool area, extremely clean and well maintained. Very refreshing in the middle of the day to cool off Kitchen had all the items needed to meals, snacks, and etc Lanai/screened in porch was great! Easy parking lots of space Very quiet and peaceful We definitely would recommend this! This is a hidden gem!!! ##### David C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie W. Feb 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Pete W 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. ##### Debbie W. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica T. Apr 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nokomis stay 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 ##### Erica T. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas S. Feb 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Thomas S.
