Beautiful, well kept property. Fabienne and Gerold are amazing hosts that want you to have the best experience possible. The kayaks on the property were a great idea to paddle out to the island. Fishing was great. Seeing dolphins right next to the dock pool was incredible. We would love to come stay again.

Best property and hosts near St Pete's!

The property was amazing, perfect for our group of 3 families with 11 people-plenty of outdoor and indoor space for relaxing between exploring nearby attractions and down time. The hosts were very responsive and made our stay extra memorable.

Perfect View

We have stayed at Casa Dolphina many times. It is in a good location. The view of the water and skyline from the pool area is amazing, we see dolphins near the seawall on a daily basis, and the gracious and attentive hosts are the best.Greg

Another great week!

Another great Spring Break week was spent with our families at Casa Dolphina! Fabienne & Gerold are the best hosts and we couldn’t have asked for a better house for our 2 families to stay at again this week! There was plenty of space for all of us & it had all the amenities we needed. Our kids had the best week swimming, sitting in the hot tub, kayaking to the private island, fishing off the dock, and just hanging out & being kids. We will be back again next year!

Paradise revisited

We are three senior sisters and their husbands who have found Casa Dolphina to be the perfect place for a yearly get together. This was our fourth visit with our fifth reserved. We keep returning since the amenities check all of our boxes, inside and out. Fabienne and Gerold are the perfect hosts who know how to make it known you are appreciated.

This is a great property

This was our second stay at Casa Dolphina and it did not disappoint. Very comfortable property. Well appointed and had everything 9 adults could ask for. We loved spending time on the lanai and in the dining room. Beautiful sunsets. The home is close to shopping and events. The owners are very welcoming and thoughtful individuals. Can't say enough about the home.

Winter RX

First of all our hosts were awesome, secondly we experienced a private outside oasis that was great for the littlest (2 months to the oldest 86 yr old in our family. We are a four generation family that loves being together and we had ample bedrooms, baths, a well supplied kitchen and three large tables we could eat and share time together.Our son-in law found his way to the dock every chance he had to catch fish, mostly small but still loved it. We had dophin shows frequently.

Amazing vacation

We picked this location due to all the amenities it had, that I thought would be great for my family. The hosts were excellent and super helpful with any of our questions or needs and was always there whenever we had a question or a need. Super friendly couple! My boys love fishing and we were able to fish right off the dock. We were visited by dolphins and stingrays every single morning around 7:30-8:30! We loved it! The property was beautiful and the boys loved playing pool, fishing, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub. The beds were super comfortable! The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare my meals. We wanted to stay another week and most definitely will be back if we go to that area again!

Beautiful Morning - Amazing Sunsets

Our stay at this waterfront paradise was nothing short of magical! This was not our first time renting this property, and we will be back again! The property exceeded expectations with its breathtaking views and thoughtful amenities. Waking up and enjoying coffee on the deck overlooking the water was pure bliss. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature’s beauty. We are already planning my next family stay!

Simply the BEST

Myself and 8 others found casa dolphina to be one of our favorite trips that we’ve ever been on (personally I put it at the top of my list of vacations) - the location is so beautiful it’s hard to put into words, besides the stunning views and activities offered at the house it is in a very convenient (and beautiful) location, easy to get to and with very short drives to and from popular locations such as downtown Saint Pete’s and the beaches (nothing was ever further than 30 minutes away) the house had every amenity you would need for a long trip and honestly you could stay at the house for every day of your trip and still have a blast. In conclusion 10/10 Hosts, 10/10 location and a 10/10 experience Fabienne and Gerold made it a point to make us feel special and also were super cooperative and communicative, we would not have had such a great trip without them!
