Gray Dolphin — Waterfront Home with Heated Saltwater Pool, Dock & Kayaks

"Had a fantastic stay at the Gray dolphin. Very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked and pool is fabulous for children. Will stay again when in town!"

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

5 Bed/4 Bath Waterfront Pool Home In Apollo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"While there were a few minor hiccups (electric lock got knocked out by lightning, and a fire alarm that loved to chirp) those issues were immediately addressed. The house is well stocked, if you forgot something it’s probably there! The gameroom, theater, pool spa were awesome. The rooms were immaculate. Overall a 9 out of 10 the landscaping could use some love and the pool deck had vegetation growing through the pavers in several areas. Other than that it would be an easy 10. We left wanting to immediately book another bit longer family get away. Our two adult children and their spouses along with the grandkids never got in each others way - there’s plants of room for everyone! Bonus points for the Christian decorations tastefully throughout the house!"

"Excellent location, the view sells the property. Pros, location, views, pool, very clean inside. Cons, needs updating, outside areas dirty, netting needs replacing, some panels missing completely which were repaired but still gaps and therefore lots of bites. Would still return due to view and location."
