Casa Dolphina has a backyard paradise and covered sunroom that is perfect for groups with varying ages and interests. The kayaks/kayak lift, fishing from the dock, the birds, dolphin, manatee, gorgeous sunsets, and the perfect hosts can't be beat. This wasn't our first visit and won't be our last.

Fabienne and Gerold were extremely accommodating hosts! The property itself is gorgeous - our family enjoyed spending time out on the pool deck enjoying the views, swimming, and relaxing on the patio. The kayaks are a must-do for any guest of the residence- we enjoyed taking them out to the island and exploring the intercoastal. The home was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 10. Fabienne and Gerold greeted us at the home with homemade treats and gifts, which was an extremely thoughtful and appreciated gesture. We will definitely be staying again!

We had a group ranging in age from 3-60 and everyone had an great time at this property. The kids loved the pool and amenities (it was well worth the extra cost to heat it), and the adults loved the hot tub, lounge area, and kayaks. And we all enjoyed watching the sun set while eating dinner outside each night. The house was very clean, quiet, and well furnished. There were thoughtful amenities like nightlights, trash bags, paper towels, etc. And we loved that there were little bins of sunscreen and other toiletries that previous renters left to use! Fabienne and Gerald were amazing hosts! They were the most engaged, responsive, and kindest owners we have dealt with over our years of renting on VRBO. We would definitely recommend this property and will stay here again if we ever go back to St. Pete's.

Casa Dolphina is a fantastic place to stay. The expansive water views are world class, and the sun room, pool, kayaks, and hot tub are great amenities. Fabienne and Gerold are wonderful hosts who are committed to the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. They are very quick to respond to questions and brought thoughtful welcome gifts to the house early in our stay. The home is one you don't want to leave and we would love to return!

Great house. It’s one of those places where you don’t really have to leave because there’s so much to do there.We did get caught with an unexpected surcharge to heat the pool. Maybe that’s just an off-season thing.

This was the BEST vacation rental we've stayed at. The location is amazing, the house is very comfortable and accommodating for multiple people to stay. Fabienne and Gerold were so welcoming, gracious, attentive and kind. We definitely plan to return for future stays. There were 4 adults (2 couples) and a 17-month old. The house worked out so well for having a toddler along. We made frequent use of the hot tub, kayaks, fishing, and pool during our week long vacation stay. The weather was ideal and it's so nice sitting out on the lanai and enjoying the weather as well as dolphins, manatees and stingray sightings. The hosts stopped by a few times to check on us and make sure all was well and that we didn't need anything. Thank you Fabienne and Gerold for sharing your amazing house with us.

This was our third visit to Casa Dolphina since 2021 for our LibraFest/Birthday get away. The house was AMAZING! Lots of space for all and very comfortable beds. Gerold and Fabienne are always wonderful hosts. I tell everyone how amazing this house is, and the location is perfect. We had a beautiful week of warm and sunny October weather. We enjoyed the kayaks and the pool/hot tub. We enjoyed a beach day at Treasure Island (Caddy's), shopping and walking around John's Pass and yummy area restaurants. We were always on dolphin watch and we did see a few during our stay. We also loved our daily visit from our bird friend. We hope to be back soon.

This was the best stay I have had, ever. The house was perfect. The solitude and decor was just amazing. It was so relaxing for all of us who stayed at Casa Dolphina. We even got to see some dolphins out past the private dock. I will stay here again as soon as I can. I had always imagined what I thought a vacation should be in my mind, but this lived up to my imagination. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend anyone to stay at Casa Dolphina. You will not regret it one bit. Thank you to the owners so VERY much. Allowing us to make the most beautiful memories that will stay with us the rest of our lives. We will come back again.

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.
