Cozy 2-Bedroom Beach Cottage Steps from the Sand! Pet Friendly!

Dolphin Views Beach Cottage

Escape to Dolphin Views, a cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage located directly on the sand with stunning ocean views. Relax on the spacious deck, watch out for dolphins playing in the waves, and enjoy unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.

Just steps from the beach, this retreat is ideal for couples, families, and fishermen. Please note - the beach is a drive on beach. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and all the essentials — linens, towels, washer/dryer, and even a BBQ grill for seaside cookouts.

Pets are welcome, and while parking is nearby rather than under the house, the location offers unbeatable access to the beach. With its charm, convenience, and breathtaking views, Dolphin Views is your perfect coastal getaway.

Highlights

• Unbeatable Location: Just steps from the beach, ideal for families, couples, and fishermen.
• Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements: Queen bed in the main bedroom, twin beds in the second bedroom, plus a sleeper sofa in the living area.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Modern appliances for home-cooked meals.
• Outdoor Living: Spacious deck for sunrise and sunset views, plus an Old Smokey BBQ grill for seaside cookouts.
• Convenience: Bed linens, towels, washer, and dryer provided.
• Pet-friendly so your furry friends can join the fun


Parking & Access
Parking is available on a nearby street (not directly under or next to the house). Guests should plan to carry belongings about 50 feet over sand to reach the cottage. For easier unloading, you may park temporarily in front of the house on the beach with a $30 annual Surfside beach pass. Please note: beach access can be busy on holiday weekends.

Water Information
Surfside city water is not potable. The cottage has a whole-house filter (safe for bathing, laundry, and dishes) and an under-sink reverse osmosis system for drinking water. City water is out of our control; we are not responsible for quality/color but do provide drinking water at the kitchen sink or alternatively feel free to bring your own drinkable water.

Your Beach Paradise Awaits
Whether you’re here to fish, relax, or simply soak in the ocean views, Dolphin Views offers a cozy retreat right on the sand. Come enjoy our little slice of paradise!
