The house is great, fully furnished/stocked and very pet friendly. We stayed there last year as well, and the dogs remembered the place and felt right at home! We love the fenced backyard with lots of grass, for peace of mind with the dogs, and love that it has a pool as well. Overall, very happy with the house and our stay. Will definitely be going back!
The Dapper Dolphin was exactly as we hoped. It was beautifully decorated, nice large kitchen and super fun game room. The bedrooms and bathrooms were larger than expected. The kitchen island was perfect for pancake breakfast. The fenced yard was perfect for the dogs. I would definitely stay there again.
Absolutely beautiful, warm and welcoming home. Very tasteful decor-cute desk in one room. Plenty of towels, kitchen accessories and seating. Loved the Coddle coach too!! Great location, enjoyed the community park and was conveniently close to shops & restaurants. We enjoyed everything and will be returning!!
The Dapper Dolphin was a great place for my family and i to stay. We went for a much needed vacation and this place was the best place we could have stayed. When you have kids of all different ages sometimes its hard to please them all, however the Dapper Dolphin definitely delievered just what we needed. There is a game room and a pool so all of my kids were definitely satisfied. Having something they all could do made relaxing for my husband and i so much easier. I highly recommend this place for anyone but especially those with kids.
We enjoyed our stay in this house and the pool was an added plus! The house was very clean and comfortably fit the 8 people we had. The kitchen was well stocked, which we appreciated since we enjoy cooking our meals on our vacation. The location was close to the center of town and the beach. We reached out to the property management a few times with questions and they were very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again! The only improvements we would note is 1) the pool could use some more shade, but we just put up a shade canopy near the pool 2) the burners on the propane grill were pretty worn out and should probably be replaced.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Dapper Dolphin house. The house is very nice and has everything you need. The neighborhood is nice. We would definitely rent this house again. The hosts responded immediately to my questions. We enjoyed the pool and are grateful for the fenced in backyard for our dogs. We enjoyed playing games in the game room as well. We did get eaten up by mosquitoes every time we went outside. Make sure you bring bug spray. The front bedroom and the guest bathroom are only separated by a sliding door just for future renters.
Dapper Dolphin provided a clean, fun, welcoming environment for our vacation getaway with our daughters and grandchildren. We’ll definitely keep it in mind for future adventures.
We loved our stay here! This place is everything we had hoped for, and the managers graciously allowed our three fur babies to stay as well! What a FANTASTIC rental!
Clean, modern place with comfortable beds and big showers (+ large soaking tub). Owner is great to work with and we were thrilled with the two decks and large back yard (fully fenced) that our dog loved. A bit far to the beach, but you can buy a parking pass ($12) that lasts the year and drive up. Plenty of food choices a short drive away. Will stay again for sure.
House was just as the pictures showed. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were just right, not too hard, not too soft. Would even make Goldilocks happy. We did not cook as we were out sightseeing during the day and not back to the house until late. Nice drive into Corpus Christi to see a couple of Hooks games. Would recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
This home has all the space and comfort for a sisters get-away! It’s spacious for family to quietly rest in the main house and with a separate game room for those that want to keep the activities going.
I love this place and you will too.
