Dolphin Bay is a beautiful, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath pool/spa home located directly on Palma Sola Bay. It is a boater's paradise with a boat dock large enough for a 30' boat (Boatlift in pictures is not available to renters). With no bridges to the bay by boat and just minutes away from the most popular beaches in the area, this renovated pool home is the perfect destination point to enjoy everything the area has to offer!

The property is located at the end of a quiet street with enough space for parking even if you have a trailer. Walking into the front door your eyes are instantly pulled to all the natural light coming off the back of the property overlooking the canal. The home has a spacious open floor plan with a kitchen, living room, and dining all combined with a great view through the sliding glass doors. In this renovated kitchen, the chef is always in the center of things, with an island, a new cooktop, and all the granite counters one could want. The dining room accommodates a table for six and offers incredible views of the water where you are sure to see the dolphins play. Just off the dining room, you will find the game room fully equipped with connect four, ping pong, shuffle-puck table, and a Smart TV.

Heading outdoors you have an additional seating area for your sunset dinners on the water. If you enjoy cooking on the grill one is provided and available for use. The pool area with spa can't be beat, and again, offers a fantastic view of the sunset over Palma Sola Bay.

Trying to figure out sleeping arrangements? This property offers a split floor plan with the master bedroom suite on one end of the home and the guest bedrooms on the other is perfect for a traveling family or couples. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, Smart TV, and an ensuite bathroom. The first guest room features a king-size bed and the other features a queen-size bed. Both guest rooms have Smart TV's. Additional sleeping is offered on the sleeper sofa in the living room that converts to a Queen size bed. The property also offers a rollaway bed.

Bedroom 2- King Bed, Smart TV
Bedroom 3- Queen Bed, Smart TV
​​​​​​​Living Room- Sleep Sofa, Rollaway Bed

Since no Florida getaway would be complete without direct water access - the dock is the perfect place to tie up your boat, fish, or soak in the pleasure of the sunsets. The community of San Remo Shores is known locally as a boating community with fishing and boating right in your backyard. What more could you ask for? Or grab a few chairs and your favorite cocktail and watch the dolphins play right off the dock seawall. Whatever your water calling, you will find it here. The owner has guaranteed dolphin sightings or he will pay for a dolphin tour.

*The boat lift on this property is owner-occupied year-round and not available for tenants' use. Tenants may dock their boat in the water along the dock only.
*Ring Doorbell is used on the front door for security.
*External cameras used to monitor entry points to the front of house and car parked in garage.
*Pool can be heated for an extra fee.
*Pool heaters in private homes are locked for your safety and controls must not be tampered with as they are monitored by the pool company. 85° is the highest heat temperature setting. Pool temperatures will probably stay around 76° during the winter months. Please note if cold days occur, water temperatures will drop and may take longer to heat.
*No personal subscription is required to use the Peloton. Anyone can ride for free, all you have to do is sign on with an email address and you'll have access to thousands of classes. We provide toe cages so all you need is a pair of tennis shoes to ride. If you have cycling shoes you're more than welcome to use them. The Peloton bike is compatible with Delta clip cycling shoes.

Perfect spot

Perfect spot for a family nice pool great atmosphere close to the beaches. The house was great. The only unlucky part of it was there was a lot of construction during the time we were Jackhammer and chainsaws running in the morning, but that’s the luck of the draw

Such a great vacation rental!

Dolphins, manatees and sea turtles frequented less than 20 yards from the pool for most of the day. Centrally located and perfect for a small family getaway. The washer did have black mold and shower floors could have been a little cleaner but all in all a great property and would definitely come back.

Spring break vaca

Our stay was perfect! The home was just what we needed in a vacation. The best part was seeing dolphins out our window everyday. It was so special to be right on the water and made grilling, nights on the porch swing, and pool time that much better. It was a short drive to Anna Marie island for a couple touristy days.

Our Spot

This is our second year vacationing at Dolphin Bay. Unfortunately, Hurricane Helene cut our trip short this year, but I cannot say enough positive things about the property manager. He was on top of everything and made sure we knew exactly what was going on as far as evacuations and everything. This home, Cortez, and AMI have our hearts. We are heartbroken for our little slice of paradise and we are praying for everyone who was affected by this terrible storm. We can’t wait to book our next stay at Dolphin Bay! #amistrong

Dolphins everyday!

The house is beautiful and spacious! Great outdoor space. We saw dolphins everyday! Being on the water was great! They were very responsive to all questions. The only minor thing is be sure the tablet that controls the pool and hot tub is working before guests arrive. Again, they were responsive with a remedy quickly. We had a wonderful relaxing time!

This rental couldn’t be any better! Elite location at the opening to the bay, pool, outdoor seating, big open living / kitchen area, and immaculate bedrooms. Very close to the nearest beach (5 min drive). Bait shops near by. Smart TVs in every room. The sunsets were amazing too! Recommend to anyone looking. To spend time with family or friends on the water!
