Dolphin House Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Booked Dolphin House over Labor Day weekend for family reunion. Everyone voted to return next year they loved it so much. Big attraction was the ability to see the ocean and easy beach access. The only problem was a stove that only offered three working burners and unreliable heat on the working three. Were such a large group it’s impossible to eat out so we were very dependent on the kitchen. Easy fix though (hopefully) and it didn’t keep us from returning next year.

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 stay at The Dolphin House! Our group of 19 (18 adults and one toddler) had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The location was perfect—right across from the beach with easy access, and close to grocery store and restaurants.The front porch quickly became a favorite gathering spot for morning coffee and evening chats. The pool was another highlight—we even had a fun pool party during our stay. We also loved the ample parking underneath the house, which made it easy for everyone to come and go.The beach was just steps away, and we made the most of it by playing volleyball, walking the shore, and soaking up the sun. Between the porch time, the pool, and the beach, The Dolphin House gave us so many opportunities to relax and connect as a family.Highly recommend this home for any large family or group looking for the perfect beach getaway!

Very Nice House

I rented this for my mother’s 60th birthday so all of her 13 kids, their spouses and her grandkids could all be under the same roof and it housed all 33 of us! The beach really is right there and they have the facilities (like two fridges, two dishes, a custom large table) to house a large group!

Pensacola Beach Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The house was great & is in a great location but the weather stymied us for our stay. The risk of this time of year I guess. It was super windy & unusually chilly as a result all week. We couldn't enter the water at the beach or use the great pool at the house. Live & learn I guess.

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: The Dolphin House was absolutely wonderful! My entire family had a great time making memories here. Plenty of room for our family of 25. It accommodated all of us. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. The only complaint I have is the gate to the pool from underneath the house would get stuck constantly which made it difficult to get in and out. Other than that it was perfect! We will definitely be back and would recommend to everyone.

Reviewer Comments: We had our wedding and reception here The property management was very helpful in providing the necessary paperwork to host the event The house was clean and our guests enjoyed the comfortable rooms and the outside pool area Everyone had a wonderful time The view was amazing and the short walk to the beach made it accessible for morning walks and evening strolls The space underneath the house was more than enough to house 8 table and chairs, the caterer and her staff, a guest favors table, sign in table, cake table, and the bride and groom table We even had space for dancing. Thanks again for making our wedding special and memorable

Perfect Wedding House

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 rented this house for our closest family and friends to celebrate our wedding with us and it was PERFECT. Best weekend of my life. The house was spacious and had an amazing view. The tiki bar out back was perfect for our bar, the under part of the house had plenty of room for our reception dinner, and we had our ceremony only a few steps from the house on the beautiful beach. Very convenient and easy to rent chairs and tables from the house owner Jodi who is very helpful! I HIGHLY recommend this house for your wedding, family get together, or vacation. The house is amazing! We will definitely be back for an anniversary celebration!

great home in a wonderful location!

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 were in pensacola beach for my son's wedding. The house was perfect for all our extended family to stay together and enjoy 3-5 days together. Convenient location near grocery stores and restaurants. Plenty of parking. I wish they had many more rocking chairs on the front porch...which is great for sunrises and sunsets. Upstairs great room was a perfect plan B for our rehearsal dinner when cold weather didn't allow for an outdoor event. We comfortably sat 88 guests. House sleeps 30+ but only has silverware service for 25. Overall, a great experience.

Dolphin House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: The house and location are beautiful and had all of the amenities that our family of 17 of four generations experienced. However, upon arrival with a toddler being on the floor a lot, we all noticed that under the furniture hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. We found lots of dirt, dust, food wrappers, and even an old banana peel. I would ask that you encourage the cleaning crews to do a better job. Also, we had several people over the age of 55 who found the porch chairs and pool area chairs to be uncomfortable and difficult to get out of for them. The upstairs cubby rooms were perfect for our four grandchildren and was ideal with their own entertainment space. Our morning coffee looking at the Gulf was our favorite part of every day!

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 great stay at The Dolphin House! The kitchen is well-equipped for large family meals. The kids loved their very own mini bedrooms. Everything was clean, with the exception of the stairs leading to the second story were sticky. We were not able to use the pool as it isn’t heated, but I’m sure that would have been a hit if so. Overall this is a great property for a large group, and the views are incredible.

Great mult-family rental

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: This was a great house for our group - nine families vacationing together. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the quiet area. Plenty of parking and space for beach gear. Both the porch and pool area were nice spots to gather in the morning and evenings. Suggestions from our group would be a few more barstools at the Tiki Hut and some tables for the pool area. Overall a great rental, no issues with maintenance, plenty of pots/pans, plates, glasses, etc. for our group of 29.
