Perfect location!

This home was perfect! We were a minute from the strand, the beach and so many local attractions. We brought our 2 little dogs who loved exploring the back yard. There were so many beds...the home was bigger than featured online. We really appreciated the beach items provided as well.

Galveston trip

This property checked all of our boxes for a family trip. It was close to the beach and in a decent neighborhood. I was happy to have a washer and dryer available to keep up on laundry as we used it. Thanks for the stay!

Cute house in a great location

This house is perfect for a family of 9. It had pretty much everything we needed to accommodate our stay. It was close to the beach, downtown and restaurants. The only thing we questioned, were the size of the beds in the 2 upstairs bedrooms. They are listed as a queen but definitely felt smaller. Maybe a double or full? All in all, a very nice place to stay and the owners were easy to communicate with.

Relaxing pre cruise stay

The house worked perfect for our party of 6 for a pre cruise stay. We could walk to the beach, places to eat and walk around the nice neighborhood. The house was clean, had all items we needed and the deck and yard were well maintained.

Great Evacuation From Ida

We evacuated her from New Orleans due to Ida. The management made special exception and allowed us to bring our small dog and cat. We really appreciated this! Thank you! We loved the location, as we were blocks away from the beach and the beautiful hotel to have brunch and the waterside amusement park. The floor plan was perfect for our 2 families and we enjoyed the front and back porches. Also, it was a quick trip to Houston for shopping. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Comfortable beach house

Nice house with plenty of rooms/beds and right next to the beach. It was fully stocked with dishes, bedding, towels, games, books, TVs, and much more, which made us feel right at home. The only downside was the large cockroaches that we came across in the kitchen and living spaces. Not exactly fun to find crawling around when I reached for a bag on the kitchen counter. Other than that we did enjoy our stay and would still recommend this home.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Run. Most everything you need is supplied. Communication with the owner was easy and he had helpful information regarding places to eat and some things to do and see. Check-in was also easy. A short walk to the beach and Seawall.

Charming, no stress

Cute home, with plenty of room to roam. Everyone enjoyed their areas of the home. Loved the kitchen, comfortably stocked with kitchen gear to make meal that make memories. Kids love the back yard porch, felt like we were in a tree house. Short walking to beach and close enough to just everything but secluded enough to be out of the busy tourist light. The owners of the home are wonderful, very attentive to our needs. Made it very a great experience. Would do again.

Condition not that good

The condition of the property is not that good. Low water pressure in showers and the shower heads leaked, Not much hot water, Says parking in garage but a layer of concrete was added to the garage floor and that made the door height to low to get anything in it. That's the reason we booked one with the garage where I could park my golf cart inside, but I couldn't. Add says two tv's upstairs had cable and two downstairs was dvd only but one of the upstairs did not work. Called the host (I guess the owner) about the tv, and back door not locking. Did not answer so I sent him a text and after two days he sent me a text saying he was sorry about the door not locking and the tv not working. I ask him could he call me and he said he was on vacation. Well so was I! Property does need updating. We did have a good time on our vacation though.. Would not rent another house though.

Home Away From Home

Dolphin’s Run is by far one of the most awesome rentals my family and I have ever stayed at. It has everything you could want or need, the location is great, and the owners are wonderful-it’s perfect!! We go to Galveston as often as we can, and this home will be our home away from home from now on. Richard and Ross, thank you for an amazing vacation-we enjoyed our stay and will be back very soon!!

Unbelievable birthday getaway vacation house!

This very spacious, no bunk beds (like others rentals), was the perfect getaway spot to rest your head, hold conversations both group and individual, full-kitchen set-up for indoor cooking & snacking. Overall I give it 5* because it was extremely spacious and more comfortable than being cooped up in a condo or hotel. Thank for everything!
