Beautiful home. Perfect for our family with a Million Dollar view. The house however needs some much needed TLC. However, with that being said, we would rent it again for our next trip and also recommend to others.

Very Good

We loved our stay here. Only complaint we had was the people setting up their beach chairs and tent in our private beach space! Also would be nice if the property provided 6 chairs and umbrellas instead of 4. We loved our stay!!

Wonderful house with a gorgeous view

Our stay at Dolphin Watch was fantastic. The views of the Gulf are superb and the house is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are spacious and elegant, and everything you need is at your fingertips. Nice, big comfy couch too. Huge deck with lots of comfortable, large chairs. Would stay here again anytime!

Incredible view

We had a wonderful winter beach vacation. The view from the deck was perfect for sunrise and sunset. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living area was spacious. The linens were very soft!!

Relaxing Vacation

This was our second stay at Dolphin Watch. We found the same comfortable home, with easy beach access. The house was clean and neat and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. While on the deck on one of our last days, we were delighted to be entertained by a pod/herd of dolphins. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding Stay

I have been coming to Destin for years now and stayed at several different properties with different rental agencies, this was by far the best experience we have had. The property was very clean and the rental company was very pro active throughout our stay. Excellent location and has more amenities than you could ever need. We have already booked next year at the same property with the same company.

Loved waking up to the beach and going to bed with the sounds of the waves! The attention to comfort in bedding and bath towels was exceptional. We also loved having beach chairs and umbrellas put out for us each day. We also loved being centrally located to shopping and dining. Thanks for a great vacation!
