Very Nice House

I rented this for my mother’s 60th birthday so all of her 13 kids, their spouses and her grandkids could all be under the same roof and it housed all 33 of us! The beach really is right there and they have the facilities (like two fridges, two dishes, a custom large table) to house a large group!

Fun Family Reunion Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at The Dolphin House! The kitchen is well-equipped for large family meals. The kids loved their very own mini bedrooms. Everything was clean, with the exception of the stairs leading to the second story were sticky. We were not able to use the pool as it isn’t heated, but I’m sure that would have been a hit if so. Overall this is a great property for a large group, and the views are incredible.

Great mult-family rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great house for our group - nine families vacationing together. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the quiet area. Plenty of parking and space for beach gear. Both the porch and pool area were nice spots to gather in the morning and evenings. Suggestions from our group would be a few more barstools at the Tiki Hut and some tables for the pool area. Overall a great rental, no issues with maintenance, plenty of pots/pans, plates, glasses, etc. for our group of 29.

I would recommended baby gates for the stairs for families with young children. The front porch overlooking the beach was our favorite spot at the house. I would recommend some sanding and maintenance on the wood flooring of that porch.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for our closest family and friends to celebrate our wedding with us and it was PERFECT. Best weekend of my life. The house was spacious and had an amazing view. The tiki bar out back was perfect for our bar, the under part of the house had plenty of room for our reception dinner, and we had our ceremony only a few steps from the house on the beautiful beach. Very convenient and easy to rent chairs and tables from the house owner Jodi who is very helpful! I HIGHLY recommend this house for your wedding, family get together, or vacation. The house is amazing! We will definitely be back for an anniversary celebration!

Dolphin House Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Booked Dolphin House over Labor Day weekend for family reunion. Everyone voted to return next year they loved it so much. Big attraction was the ability to see the ocean and easy beach access. The only problem was a stove that only offered three working burners and unreliable heat on the working three. Were such a large group it’s impossible to eat out so we were very dependent on the kitchen. Easy fix though (hopefully) and it didn’t keep us from returning next year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at The Dolphin House! Our group of 19 (18 adults and one toddler) had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The location was perfect—right across from the beach with easy access, and close to grocery store and restaurants.The front porch quickly became a favorite gathering spot for morning coffee and evening chats. The pool was another highlight—we even had a fun pool party during our stay. We also loved the ample parking underneath the house, which made it easy for everyone to come and go.The beach was just steps away, and we made the most of it by playing volleyball, walking the shore, and soaking up the sun. Between the porch time, the pool, and the beach, The Dolphin House gave us so many opportunities to relax and connect as a family.Highly recommend this home for any large family or group looking for the perfect beach getaway!
