Great Beach House

Perfect location. Wonderful pool. Outdoor living at this house is top notch. I think we left the deck only twice in a week. The Island is quiet and peaceful and the house has plenty of a room and an incredible deck area.

The house was perfect for our stay. The beach is literally across the street. The pool is a nice place to relax after a day at the beach. The home has a very small starter pack so be prepared to purchase your essentials. The grill needs work. We could only get one burner to light. We ended up having to cook inside. I loved that every room had a bathroom for their own use. No games in home so bring if you enjoy that. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Would definitely come back.

Great Vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. It accommodated our party of 14 plus a couple of dogs with ease. The pool is a nice touch for the kids. Beach access was easy and not crowded at all.

Perfect family vacation home

We had 6 adults and 4 kids and this home was perfect for what we wanted! The beach was an easy walk across the street and the pool was a great break from the beach. Kitchen and rooms had everything we needed.

The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable and views were excellent. In all honesty, the grass could have been mowed. Made the mosquitoes terrible. Was very difficult to take our small dog out to potty. There was trash under the house that you couldnt see until youbwere right on it becaise the grass was so tall. Other than that our vaction was great!

Spring Break Vibes

We had a fantastic week at Vitamin Sea! The house was perfect for our two families. The heated pool was amazing for the kids to play, since it was a little chilly most of the week to be in the Gulf. Terrific views, plenty of space and tons of laid back island vibes!

Perfect Time’

House was perfect for our annual Mother Daughter get away. Pool was needing attention but cleaner came before noon next day. Fully enjoyed the beach and pool for the remainder of our stay. Would highly recommend the home and will reserve for next year! Perfect!

Beautiful spacious house!

Had a great week staying at vitamin sea. Had only a few minor inconveniences but nothing that would stop me from renting again (after all nothing is perfect). House was very well furnished with high quality amenities and comfy couch and beds. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Location and pool are key!

The home is beautiful and clean and well furnished. Large windows on the ocean side provided a beautiful view. The covered deck and pool were amazing and well used during our visit. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes and a good blender and coffee maker. We had six people and two dogs and were very comfortable. Dolphin Island is sleepy but enjoyable. A quick trip over the bridge connected us with shrimp boats where we bought 5 pounds of shrimp for $15! Great family vacation!

October seaside!

This venue was so beautiful! The heated pool was perfect for the cooler days. The swing on the deck was so nice to drink coffee and watch the sunrise and the ocean. The wall to wall sliding doors that lead to the deck and the view of the ocean made you feel like you were outside all the time.

Beautiful views in every direction. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool. Perfect place to go to get out of the hustle of live and slow down. We loved all of the local restaurants and shops. The town had something going on both weekends we were there. The house has plenty of space for large families. The kitchen was fully stocked for large groups. I will definitely be back.

Perfect location and great views

We loved how nice the house was and where it was located. It was just a quick walk across the street to the beach. Had ample room for parking our boat under the house. Included all the normal cookware and utensils. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect size pool and patio for entertainment. Will definitely look at coming back to this house in the future!

Awesome!!!

We loved this home. Fully stocked kitchen, sheets on the bed, towels in each bathroom. Great view of the bay and the ocean. Super short walk to the ocean (one street) and the pool was lovely! We wanted to control the pool lights and could not find a remote/instructions. That was the only thing!
