What a beautiful place! Rick and Debby built perfection - from the detailed decor to the loving construction, they have perfected the VRBO experience. We especially enjoyed the ocean view and loved walking down to restaurants and shops. It was an added bonus to meet Rick and Debby and chat with them. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer…maybe next time.

Perfect choice for a cozy getaway.

All listing information was accurate and the atmosphere was wonderful - both within the rental and the beach-side community where it is located. It's only a short walk away from the beach or good food. Would easily recommend.

Heaven

The Double Dolphin is absolutely my favorite place to stay when coming to Southern California! It has all the amenities we need and is always clean and fresh, yet so welcoming and homey! My absolute favorite place to be is in the living room on one of the reclining chairs, looking out at the ocean while the sun comes up - for me, absolute heaven!
