Great complex with a pool and a grassy backyard that overlooks docks and boat traffic between you and Ono Island. Very peaceful. The grass and mature trees really make this place a nice beach vacation.
Great stay at Dolphin Harbor. easy access to the bay out the back where the kids could fish. great and easy pool to play in. right across the street from the beach access, which was not crowded. wonderful accommodations, and we will definitely be looking to stay again.
Fantastic floor plan for six adults and one child! Location was perfect for brother’s wedding, and two other family members, who had boats docked outside, were also pleased with their units. Pool was clean and fun too.
We had a great time. The property exceeded our expectations and easity accommodate our family of 10.The bunk bed room was perfect for 4 children. Everyone at Bella Beach Properties also made us feel welcome, and they were available with any questions we had. We will fefinitely book again.

Clean, spacious, really nice
Great space, lots of parking, convenient to the beach
We went to celebrate my birthday and had a blast! Plenty of room for all of us to eat, sleep, and hangout! Great proximity to the pool and grill… both were used!
Very clean, lost of space for our group of 7. Very quiet pool was nice.
Great place to stay with our group of 7. Loved all the rooms and bathroom were very spacious. Would be great for couple also. It’s on the canal and enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the morning watch the boats going out. Can’t wait to plan our next trip with my family for next year.
Loved the location with boat docks since we bring our boat. Family enjoyed everything about the condo! Spacious, clean and management was great both times we have rented the unit, First in May and again in September. Wish it was available for the week of Thanksgiving, we would definitely like to go back.
This condo was beautiful and the perfect place for us to stay! We had so much room and the location was perfect. The docks are back in use after the hurricane and they did such a great job. We loved being able to walk out the back door and hop on the boat. We will definitely stay there again!
Dolphin Harbor is a beautiful property and the unit we rented was great. Bella Beach Properties are great to deal with and they made everything simple. We will be back next year!
Condo was wonderful! We enjoyed being able to have our boat right outside the door. Plenty of room for more people than the 3 of us and I'm sure we'll have a full house when we return.
We had a great time staying here. When we arrived the pool area said “closed” so our kids were bummed the first day, but after messaging the management we found out it wasn’t actually closed. You do have to walk across a busy street to get to the beach but it wasn’t bad and the beach access was super easy and nice. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a group of 10 women on a beach vacation. This trip was great. The condo was very large opened the back door and sat on the porch seen sharks, dolphins, and some crabs just sitting on the sidewalk. The beds were soft and the bathrooms were big. loved the location. already planning another trip.
This is the 5th time we have stayed at this property and it needs a little TLC. We never could get the TV’s in any room to work. It would say no signal.
