"We had a great stay! You can see and hear the dolphins from the room. There was a bathtub in the room for my kids, two pools, a hot tub in short walking distance, a nice balcony to sit and watch dolphins from. The AC worked great, lots of towels and blankets, a refrigerator, microwave, Very secure neighborhood, we felt very safe. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Florida!"

Mangrove Point Townhome

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful property, only three things were of concern when we got there. 1: we had a really hard time confirming and understanding how the door lock worked. Maybe a little note on the inside of the house to help confirm that we are locking it correctly. 2: A curtain or door covering on the inside of the front door would also have been nice. A little uncomfortable walking around and the glass door had no real covering. 3: The bathroom fans were extremely loud, maybe splitting the switch to divide the light from the fan might help. These are only things that we found, not to be critical but to be hopefully a help. Beautiful property thank you so much. We really enjoyed it."
