Host was great to work with throughout the process. Communicates very efficiently. Checked in on us at times during the stay to make sure we were ok and accommodated a last minute request. Location is perfect! Walk right out to the beach. Property includes several items to use on the beach: chairs, towels, beach toys, etc. Close to the pier, restaurants, and shops. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing place

Loved everything about our stay at Dolphin Watch. Very clean and decorated perfectly. Loved that there were plenty of towels and that there were beach towels for us to use. Very nice that there was beach equipment there for us to use as well. It was perfect for our family. Recommend it to everyone and hope we have the opportunity to book it again!

Last minute getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was perfect, literally on the beach. I way overpacked because the condo had everything and more. DO NOT park in the public parking from 2a-6a, you WILL get a ticket. There is a sign, but its not noticeable. We will be back!

Girls weekend

We really enjoyed our time at Dolphins Watch. Such a cute place. Had all the things we needed for a girls weekend. Spent a lot of time on the porch. Very close to all the things we wanted to do. Our one suggestion is that it was a little musty. Particularly the cabinets in the kitchen. Could use a dehumidifier or some damp rid. Other than that, a perfect spot.

Family Vaycay

We loved our 1 week stay at Dolphin’s Watch! Highlights include the front entryway to drop off your beach things & shoes, the included beach towels and accessories and the balcony view. I particularly appreciated the well stocked kitchen so we could have home cooked family meals together. Even though there were ample chairs available we chose to take advantage of the beach service for chairs and umbrellas since we had a baby in tow. Speaking of baby, the second bedroom had the perfect spot for his pack n play, toys and included a book shelf. We will definitely return to Dolphin Watch in the future!

Clean and as described

We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Watch. It was clean and just as described. The beach is so close! We used the stored beach chairs one day while we were there. I’m glad we didn’t have to pack ours! We had one issue with the code not working, but I sent Connie a message and she got back to me very quickly with a new working code. She also answered all my questions in a timely manner. If we stay in this area again, we would definitely consider staying here!

Perfect Stay

We loved this stay. We’ve stayed at many different units for short getaways along the southern coast, and every single place we’ve stayed (at even twice the price point) do not come stalked with ANYTHING. No cooking utensils, basic spices, soap, detergent… this host has it all to make basic meals for your family, basic spices and comes with coffee pods! I liked having full size soap bars, also. It’s the little things! The mattresses are very comfortable, the home is very clean, and it is much closer to the beach than we thought. You literally walk 25 feet and you’re on the gorgeous beach. We will absolutely be back and staying here!
