Such a great beachfront house! The master suite on the top level was spacious and the deck hot tub access made it even better! This was our first trip to Cape San Blas and we were so impressed with the peacefulness of the area, the water color on the north side beaches, and the cute downtown Port St. Joe! Our pups felt right at home and loved walks on the beach. Would highly recommend this beach house and area!!

Perfect Vacation!

We had the best week at Dolphin Lookout! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need during our week stay. We loved the pool and two beach front decks. My husband was extremely happy with the grill and its location by the pool and a beach view. So glad we were able to include our two dogs on our vacation also.

great location

We have never stayed in the Port St Joe area and will absolutely be back. We came during spring break week and the beach is never crowded...just small groups of those staying at the houses nearby. So grateful I was able to bring my two Frenchies with us. They loved the dog friendly beach. Our teenagers even had fun which is high praise.

Great House on a Great Beach

We stayed at Dolphin Lookout for ten days and never had any problems. The house was in terrific condition. The kitchen has everything you need and more. When it felt too hot at the beach, we enjoyed the pool. Hot tub was great for evenings under the stars. We would stay again and recommend.

Great Kitchen

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was perfect for that. The kitchen was well stocked with double oven, crock pot, toaster oven, mixer, decent knives, and plenty of cookware. However, the living room furniture was extremely old and uncomfortable. The master bed was extremely soft/worn out and the 3rd floor queen mattress was also not in great condition.

AMAZING!!

The house and location were amazing! We have never been to this area, and we are coming back. Way less crowded than where we usually go. You have your own walk way to the beach where you might see another family or 2. That is it! The house had EVERYTHING you needed. It was perfect for even our 3 yr old and 3 month old. The house had toys in a closet for our 3 yr old to play. The pool made it perfect to come off the beach and relax and play. If I had a questions, the Be Our Guest were quick to call or respond to an email. Loved this house! Will be back again.

It’s the Little Details That Matter

We had a wonderful experience at this house. The house was big, modern, and had a good view of the beach. The part I didn’t expect was the little details that showed the owner truly cared. They provided full size versions of all the accessories you would need at home (soap bar, shampoo, dish detergent, dish soap). Everything was labeled so you didn’t have to guess which switch did what and how to operate everything. Even to the smallest detail of adding a felt pad to the are behind the toilet seat so it wouldn’t bang when you opened the lid. I appreciated everything! The upstairs master bedroom was amazing! We didn’t expect a huge shower with a rain style head with a steam sauna in the shower. Combined with the hot sub, it was like being at our own personal spa! We could’ve just stayed up there and been happy. As for the kids, they provided a high chair and toys for out 1 year old to use. Our other child (our golden doodle) had a nice sized lawn in the back to poop and they provided a pooper scooper so you don’t have to bend over. Finally, everything was clean and in good working order. Some places we’ve stayed in have broken handles or locks and we had no problem with that at all! No one had a complaint and we will definitely try to book this again!

Enjoyed our stay

We are so thankful that property owners are starting to understand pets are a very important part of families. We were able to take our pets with us and able to rent a clean, dog friendly property. We enjoyed sunrise walks on the beach with our dogs. (Port St. Joe has dog friendly beaches) We do have a complaint about previous renters not picking up after their pets. When we arrived, there were several piles of dog feces in the yard. The property owners have supplied a pooper scooper so their is no excuse for people not cleaning up after their pets. Not sure what the answer is to irresponsible pet owners but new arrivals shouldn’t be greeted with other dogs piles of poop. The houses are close together…feels like you can reach out and touch your neighbor (one side of the property has a camper) but the property owners have landscaped around the pool so you do have some privacy at the pool. There’s a hot tub on the balcony outside the master but it has no privacy from the house next door. Some privacy screens on both ends of the porches on both levels would make this house almost perfect. The house next door had a couple of families renting with lots of kids so we were not able to enjoy sitting on the screened in porch and reading a book or anything that required a little quiet time….but that’s to be expected at the beach. The bed in the master bedroom is very soft. We actually thought the bed was broken when we first sat on it :). Overall, we would rent it again.

Overall Great Stay

We visited with four adults, two kids, and our dog and overall had a fantastic stay. The proximity to the beach was great! The beach was very nice and not crowded with some great sea shells and a perfect place for evening bonfires. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate during our visit so our boys wanted to resort to the heated pool, but the heat was not working. The hot tub made an okay alternative for chilly nights, and the property manager did communicate and work with us for the non-heated pool (which was appreciated). The home was stocked with games, kitchen supplies, towels, beach toys, etc. In terms of the home, the kitchen was great for cooking tasty seafood meals and the master bedroom and bathroom were phenomenal. The living room set up was a bit small and awkward but we made it work. The other bedrooms were clean and comfortable, we just struggled with some of the TVs streaming/wifi capabilities. Overall, if you’re looking for a dog-friendly stay on the beach, this is a great option!

Great vacay!

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: The house was clean and tidy and had all the amenities. The master bedroom is the highlight of the house. Large closet, large bathroom with a supersized netted tub, large shower and hot tub on balcony. The only downfalls were the master bed is hard and low water pressure in shower. There were inconsistencies with thermostats. The downstairs bedrooms stayed very hot. Location is good and lots of room to yourself on the beach.

Peaceful and great location

This house was perfect for a family vacation! So close to the beach. The private boardwalk was wonderful, especially when you have kids and use wagons to carry beach gear. Kitchen was the best stocked of any VRBO. The private pool was a Plus+++ plenty of restaurants within 10-15 minute drive.
