All over 60 spending family vacation together, weather was beautiful until the last day, layout of main level full bath off garage/poolroom was a little far from the bedrooms and garage/ billiard room was very warm to play pool in at most times. But over all we had a blast.

A well appointed house with wonderful owners. Myself along with some friends and family didnt want to leave. The property itself is breathaking, with wonderful water views, a much needed pool and neat little outcoves sprinkled around the yard. A nice patio table in the shade by the water, a tiki hut with a dining table, a grilling station and a dock with some primo fishing. The interior was spotless, the rooms were large and plentiful enough to fit 10 of us. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked and the sunroom was a great place to relax and umwind. Fabienne and Gerald were responsive and incredibly welcoming hosts, I'd recommend it to anyone and cant wait to be able to go back.

Beautiful, well kept property. Fabienne and Gerold are amazing hosts that want you to have the best experience possible. The kayaks on the property were a great idea to paddle out to the island. Fishing was great. Seeing dolphins right next to the dock pool was incredible. We would love to come stay again.

Love Casa Dolphina

This was our second time staying at Casa Dolphina. We love the hosts and the house. It such a good family home. They have tons of kayaks and a lift to put the kayaks on and lower down and just paddle out. The kids fished off the pier and caught fish. They have a big porch off the back thatwe love. We spent evenings on the porch playingl games. The pool is beautiful and of course we enjoyed it immensely. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. I would recommend this home to anyone! Gerald and Fabienne are wonderful hosts and are there in a moments notice if there are any problems. You will definitely love Casa Diolphina. We also saw manatees by the pier and dolphins.

outstanding location!

we stayed at Casa Dolphina for 12 days and had a wonderful time. The owners were very attentive and helpful, and the house was spacious and clean. The grounds, and the pool, were second to none. Convenient location to many restaurants and beaches and shopping as well. yard games, and kayaks were available, which was a plus! You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!

We had such a wonderful time. Fabienne and her husband were so thoughtful and welcoming. They brought us cupcakes, wine and chocolate which was so delicious and unexpected.

Florida grad reunion

We have a son who graduated from Eckerd College and our family plus aunts and uncles joined us on the trip. It was difficult to find accommodations that could house all of us. I stumbled across Casa Dolphina and I am sure glad I did.The property was wonderful for the 9 of us. Plenty of space to socialize or chill. I would highly recommend this property. Didn't want to leave and will return.One other thing, the hosts (Fabienne and Gerold) are the best! Every need was met and the few issues we had were addressed immediately. Wish they were our neighbors. Thank you so much for sharing your home.

A Dream Vacation

Hard to leave yesterday… our time at Casa Dolphina couldn’t have been more perfect! So much room, a beautiful pool which was hardly ever empty, a fabulous dock for fishing and kayaking, a kitchen and bar for foodies like us who love to cook our own meals… nothing was missing!! We hardly left the property. It was a family trip where we all met from our various homes in the US to spend some time together. With four grandchildren, there was something for everyone! Our 9 year old grandson is now hooked on pool as there is a wonderful billiard table on the property too. And I must acknowledge our hosts…. Fabienne and Gerald were so personable and helpful!! Communication was easy and they were always available to answer any questions and offer ideas for when we did manage to pull ourselves away from the property!! We will definitely return someday!!!

Another great week!

Another great Spring Break week was spent with our families at Casa Dolphina! Fabienne & Gerold are the best hosts and we couldn’t have asked for a better house for our 2 families to stay at again this week! There was plenty of space for all of us & it had all the amenities we needed. Our kids had the best week swimming, sitting in the hot tub, kayaking to the private island, fishing off the dock, and just hanging out & being kids. We will be back again next year!

We are three senior sisters and their husbands who have found Casa Dolphina to be the perfect place for a yearly get together. This was our fourth visit with our fifth reserved. We keep returning since the amenities check all of our boxes, inside and out. Fabienne and Gerold are the perfect hosts who know how to make it known you are appreciated.

The most wonderful family vacation!

Casa Dolphina was the perfect vacation spot for our family! We had 8 adults and 2 kids in our group. The house was clean, well kept, and the perfect size for everyone to be together but also have their own space. Some of the group fished from the dock while others relaxed in the pool and hot tub, even played some pool, and kayaked in our downtime. The sunroom was the most popular spot; rain or shine you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view of the water. The owners were fabulous, and their attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. Fabienne and Gerold were incredibly kind and came bearing gifts, welcoming us with open arms and made us feel comfortable in their home. They helped suggest things to do close by, even suggested some beautiful beaches to check out and dinner spots. They stayed in touch for anything we could have ever needed. Prior to our trip, they quickly responded to all of our questions. The location couldnt be better! You have everything you need, whether it be stores, golf, food, or even several beaches in just a short drive, but honestly there’s so much to enjoy at the house you may not even want to leave. 10/10 experience and 5 stars all around. Thank you for everything and sharing your beautiful home with us! We had the best time and will most definitely be back!!
