We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice and clean. We loved the screened-in porch and the beach view. The beach is a short walk from the house. To watch the sunset we would drive to the rocks / stump hole. Sun-rise can be seen from the Bay. There’s a book in the house with lots of helpful information regarding restaurants and things to do. We rented bikes and those were enjoyable as well.

GREAT stay at Dolphin Cove!

We really enjoyed our stay at Dolpin Cove. The house was extremely clean upon arrival, cheerfully decorated in "beach" decor without being "condo beachy". Excellent beds, plenty of towels. Just a really happy place to stay. We will definitely try to rent this home again in the summer.

Quiet old FL beach house - great to unwind

Located in a rustic subdivision, the one-story house on piers is gulf front right behind the dunes, and you can see the Gulf over them. Large quiet-ish beach, easy walk to restricted nature area. The home has a nice screened-in deck. Near the wet lowland, so bring DEET bug spray for no-see-ums and mosquitoes. Didn't bother us. That's old Florida for a couple of months per year.

Dolphin Cove

Wonderful Home. Clean and everything worked. Great downstairs area for all your cars and beach stuff. Outside shower! Good location although 150 yds from the beach. Only thing we dislike and you need to note: cars can drive on this beach and beach is very narrow! This was a big concern for us with kids! We did not like that and it was not described in the listing.

Andrew, thank you for your review on Dolphin Cove. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the unit, inside and out! The width of the beach naturally changes often and vehicles are permitted on this side of the Cape. Let us know when you are ready to come back and we will find something that is a better fit for you and your family.

With the exception of the neighborly visit from a friendly cottonmouth, we loved the house. The house is very roomy. We loved the screened in porch in the evenings. The boardwalk makes beach access very easy. We would definitely stay here again!
