Relax and Play! Gulf Front, Private Home w/Pool+Pontoon Boat Rental

Spend your next vacation at "The Dolphin House," our beautiful 4 bedroom/3 bathroom home, while enjoying the Gulf of Mexico as your backyard! Pontoon Boat On-Site! Available for Rent

You will enjoy daily visits from dolphins, sting rays, and the occasional manatee. The private dock is the perfect place to fish or park your boat if you choose to bring one. There is a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, two large screened in areas overlooking the water, as well as multiple private docks for boating. This house is a fully furnished home with an upstairs and downstairs living room, a pool table, and bar. The entire space can sleep up to 10 people with three king beds, one queen, and a pull-out Murphy bed. The area is perfect for kayaking, scalloping, fishing (fish poles and tackle box ready to use), and sitting by the pool, soaking up the Florida sunshine!

Whether you're looking for a large space for your next scalloping trip or family get together or a more relaxing escape with nothing more on the agenda than sipping cocktails in the pool while watching the sun disappear into the Gulf, this is the perfect spot for you!

Paradise by the water
We had an amazing two weeks stay, the weather was lovely and the house was perfect for what we needed .Nothing was too much trouble for our host.we had a minor problem with the pool and was sorted immediately.We saw so much wildlife from the dock and fished most days.Renting the boat was an added extra but thoroughly worth the money. Looking forward to our next stay.Will definitely return.

Awesome Location
There were six adults in our party and we had plenty of room. The location was fantastic, we saw dolphins off the dock every day. Boat rental on site was a great bonus. The hosts were super accommodating and replied immediately with their responses. Would definitely go back.

Amazing Wildlife Views!
If you want to see tons of sealife activity, this is your place!!! We stayed 6 days and saw a wide aray of cool things just from the dock. Sting rays, dolphins, turtles, jumping fish, crabs etc. Enjoy the sunset from the canoe or kayaks, there's plenty of sun and shade on the back deck, and we thoroughly enjoyed the basement pool table and poker table. Renting the pontoon for a day to hit the sandbar was fantastic as well. Wonderful hospitality, beautiful home, we will surely stay here again. Thank you Dave and Ashley!
