About this property

Dolphin View: Home Away From Home! Best of Both Worlds - Beach and Harbor!

Welcome to Dolphin View! Our beach home is located on Destin's East Pass and the Destin Harbor. It is central to the most popular Destin activities and the harbor. The view of the jetty from our Lanai will occupy guests for hours. You can watch pods of dolphins herd schools of fish along the rock barrier and watch the deep sea fishing boats race toward the gulf in the mornings and return in the afternoon. Take a stroll to Norriego Point, the local beach just beyond the gates of the East Pass Tower complex for the fireworks show every Thursday night at 9 PM between Memorial Day and Labor Day, or watch the fireworks at poolside. You'll find our condominium is comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated, sleeps 6 and has a spacious Lanai accessible from the living room and both bedrooms. The Water Taxi (seasonal) is only steps away and will take you across the harbor to your favorite location - NO TRAFFIC!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The BEST and most prepared host. Beach view was not what I was thinking but was still viewable. You could hear the ocean waves and enjoy all the amenities right there. It was so cool. We enjoyed taking the water taxi to Harbor Village.

Our stay was very nice. Pool is excellent and the apartment was very nice. Only bad part was jellyfish in the ocean. Hopefully they will be gone next time we come

We enjoyed our stay. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Even though the complex was experiencing air conditioner problems, we were comfortable because our host had portable AC units set up for temporary use. The location was very safe and secure, however, the many different security codes were overwhelming.

The condo and complex was very clean and just as described. The view was beautiful. From the beach area, we enjoyed watching the sea turtles up close and even saw some dolphins jumping in the distance. Our stay was comfortable, and the condo was equipped with every amenity needed. We loved spending time at the pool and beach. Also, the communication from host was fantastic as they made checking in and out easy and responded quickly to any questions. My family had a great stay at Dolphin View!
We loved watching the sea turtles in the water right off the back beach area behind the pool.
I enjoyed my morning coffee with a spectacular view every morning.
Fireworks across the way by “AJ’s” were fun to watch. That area seemed to be a lively spot and was where the October fishing rodeo weigh-ins were taking place.
Sunset from the jetties down the O’Steen beach trail. This was just a short walk from the condo. Sunsets are great here, as are beach days.
