Dolphin Run is terrific property. The ocean views are magnificent. The house is large, roomy, and well decorated. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Please do something about the pool deck planking and the mattresses in the two queen bedrooms
Nice beachfront home. We loved the pool and being able to walk right out to the beach. The house itself is a little dated/some wear & tear, but kitchen is well stocked and everyone was comfortable. Make sure to bring TP, paper towels, laundry detergent and toiletries - none of that is provided, not even a single trash bag! But that's all stated in the rental listing.
