Everything was as described online. Comfortable and relaxing, and the North end of the key is more relaxing than the South. Quiet walks on the beach and gorgeous sunsets made relaxation key to this stay.

Wonderful Time
Dolphin Retreat is a good sized 2 bedroom/2 bath condo, large lanai with a view of the Gulf of Mexico. We have rented this condo several times and have always had a wonderful time. We favor the location of this property. You can walk the gulf beach and walk to the bay. We will be back.
