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.

Dolphin House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: The house and location are beautiful and had all of the amenities that our family of 17 of four generations experienced. However, upon arrival with a toddler being on the floor a lot, we all noticed that under the furniture hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. We found lots of dirt, dust, food wrappers, and even an old banana peel. I would ask that you encourage the cleaning crews to do a better job. Also, we had several people over the age of 55 who found the porch chairs and pool area chairs to be uncomfortable and difficult to get out of for them. The upstairs cubby rooms were perfect for our four grandchildren and was ideal with their own entertainment space. Our morning coffee looking at the Gulf was our favorite part of every day!

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!

We are locals here but decided to rent for our wedding and it was absolutely perfect! I can honestly say that we couldn’t have picked a better house for our special day! Plenty of space for everyone and everything. The house was immaculate, and everybody through paradise beach homes was super friendly! We hope to come back again soon!

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.
