A guest from Noblesville, IN

We will be back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the Dolphin House. We paid for the pool to be heated as we were visiting in February. We had no issues and our children loved being able to swim. The house is a few minutes from the beach and it was so convenient. We had a minor plumbing issue and maintenance was very quick to address it and get it fixed. It was our first visit to 30A and loved the location of this house, we hope to go back in future years!

July 2023 Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall great place. Very clean. Ample room for family of four and mother-in-law to enjoy a much needed getaway. Steps from the beach. No gulf view. No noise issues from facing 30-A. Felt secluded and private. Well stocked and appointed kitchen. MBR ceiling fan didn’t provide much relief at all. Pool needed attention - was not vacuumed at beginning of stay and turned green/cloudy by end of stay. We were unable to use it for last three days of the week. Would consider renting at this location again.

Cute house with great beach access

We loved the house and had wonderful weather. We were able to go to and from the house/Beach easily with a 3 year old and 5 month old (multiple naps). We had a really great time and will not deduct any stars for this but want to share with other families who have young kids. We came during spring break. It was for a wedding so we couldn’t get around it. The amount of teenagers and college kids along the streets and seaside area made things very crowded and I’m sure louder than normal. If you’re able to avoid spring break, do that! I was young once and don’t fault them for being kids, but it just gave us a different family experience because of the overcrowded streets and loud cars. But please know the house was perfect!!

More like a 4.8, but great nonetheless

The location of the property is wonderful. A short walk to the beach, the private pool, and the cleanliness of the house were some of my favorite features of this property. We had an issue with the washing machine that was literally resolved within a couple of hours by the property management team. Their response time was top notch. My only complaint would be the lack of kitchenware for preparing food (i.e. knives, etc.). The knives at the house were very dull and almost unusable. Attempting to skin and filet red snapper took forever due to the tools available. If you love to cook like I do, bring your own tools! The house accommodated 8 adults pretty comfortably. Overall, a great experience!

Dolphin house

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Short walk to beach! House was clean upon arrival. Too much construction noise in the neighborhood from early morning to late evening hours. Property management company was difficult to work with!! Even though VRBO site and Benchmark’s website listed pool could be heated for additional cost, it required multiple phone calls to get pool heated. We were initially told it could not be heated because of chlorine shortage even though almost every other company was heating their pools. Almost impossible to use grill and pool at night because of very few outside lights and no lights in pool

Nice house

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house with pool that the grandchildren enjoyed. Not a bad walk to beach. House is right on 30A so you do get some road noise. The remote for TV in den takes a engineer to figure out. Never did get it to play music?? Outdoor fan off Master bedroom does not work....would have been nice in the evenings. Only problem we had was with rental company. We arrived at house 15 min before check in. We had groceries and a 10 month old baby and asked if it was possible to gain access. Instead of just saying I am sorry but policy says you cannot they came up with this excuse of house needing repairs and that was why we could not get in?? Not sure about what repairs and no one ever came to house to make repairs. Outside of that I would stay here again.

Great time, a few things to be aware of

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay. The home was up to date and very clean. I would note a few things that were a bit of a surprise to us when we arrived. 1. The pool appeared to be nearly full size in the photos. It is not. It is <5ft deep in the deep end and on the smaller side. Fortunately we don't have a huge family and it worked out but nonetheless, it was not what we were expecting. 2. The pool is in the front of the home. You are swimming in the pool and looking at the street. There is a fence around the pool but it does still feel a bit exposed. There was a lot of construction on the street and many workers so if you are looking for the utmost privacy for your swim time, this is not the place. 3. There is ongoing construction on two homes on the street (which is a short street and ends in a culdesac). during the day this equals noise. 4. This home is directly on 30A. There is road noise. 5. The master bedroom is upstairs. If you don't want to climb stairs to the bedroom you may want to consider other options. Despite these "surprises" we had a wonderful time and this really was one of the nicest and cleanest places we have ever stayed.

Dolphin House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great size home close to the beach with private pool. Short walk to the top of the steps leading down to the beach. The house is decorated very tastefully with beach theme. Plenty of seating in the living room. Nice size bedrooms and baths. Plenty of closet space. The only negative is that the home is right on 30A so it is a bit noisy if you're out by the pool or on the balconies. Inside it is amazingly quiet so that is a plus. The other issue is hopefully a temporary one. There are several homes in various stages of construction on Seawalk Circle so there was a constant parade of construction vehicles and delivery trucks plus load music occasionally from the work crews. I noted that the homes were under construction when I check out the home in Oct '21 and figured that they would be completed within the year but still ongoing in late Sept '22. Hopefully the construction will wrap up soon!
