About this property
Splashing Dolphins | Pet-friendly Canal-Front Home W. Boat Dock, Hot Tub + Pool
Splashing Dolphins has everything you want in a Florida home away from home—and much more! The 3-bedroom house, which sleeps nine people, includes a hot tub, multiple dining areas, an in-ground pool, a shady lanai and a boat dock with plenty of parking and a washer and dryer rounding out these five star amenities. You can bring your 4-legged companions along too; Splashing Dolphins is pet-friendly.
When it comes to first impressions, Splashing Dolphins makes a fabulous one. As you pull into the paved driveway, which has room for multiple vehicles, you’ll be greeted by palm trees swaying in the breeze. Walk around to the back of the house, and you’ll be dazzled. Here’s where you’ll find the spacious pool, with wide steps for easy access. Alongside the pool is a hot tub, perfect for soaking the day away. Please note that the pool is not heated. The brick patio surrounding the pool is furnished with chaises, chairs, a table complete with sun umbrella, and a state-of-the-art grill (dinner alfresco, anyone?). The entire space is enclosed to help keep out pesky insects while letting in plenty of sunshine—or the evening, moonlight.
The poolside patio leads to the covered lanai. Kick back on one of the marvelously cushioned chairs and while away the afternoon reading, sipping frosty drinks, and catching up with family and friends (or catching up on your sleep with a nap!). The ceiling fan will help you keep your cool on even sultry summer days. Also in the back, a pathway leads to another outdoor sitting area and, even better, a private boat dock steps from the house. The saltwater canal alongside the property flows into the Intracoastal Waterway; even if you don’t sail yourself, you can sit on the dock and fish, wave to the passing boats, and keep an eye out for dolphins and manatees. Pure bliss!
Of course, you have to head inside sometimes. At Splashing Dolphins, spending time indoors is as much a treat as relaxing outside. With its generous windows, open layout, and bright, comfortable furnishings, the home looks like something from the pages of a magazine. When you’re not on one of the plush couches watching a movie on the large flat-screen TV with cable, you can gather around the glass table in the sunny breakfast area to play a board game. There’s even a fireplace because even Florida can get chilly in winter.
The breakfast room’s table seats 4, and there’s also a formal dining room that seats at least 6 with ease, plus a breakfast bar with room for four more. The breakfast bar also serves as additional kitchen counter space. Airy, spacious, and equipped with everything from refrigerator/freezer to dishwasher to blender, Splashing Dolphins’ kitchen will please both those who love to cook and those who simply love to eat.
While all 3 of Splashing Dolphins’ bedrooms are restful spots, the primary suite is especially pampering. There’s a king-size bed, of course, plus a flat-screen TV and a door that opens directly onto the lanai, so you can walk straight to your bedroom after indulging in a midnight swim. The primary bedroom has its private bathroom as well, with both a shower and a luxurious soaking tub. The 2nd bedroom also has a queen-size bed and a flat-screen TV. The 3rd bedroom, with twin-over-full bunk beds and yet another TV, will delight the kids. These bedrooms share the second bathroom, which includes a combination shower/tub. Expecting additional guests? One of the living room sofas opens into a queen-size bed.
Anyone who says dreams don’t come true has never seen Splashing Dolphins. Make your dream vacation a reality; book your stay today!

Clean, big, comfortable house. Enjoyed the canal view and seeing eagles daily. Had a couple minor issues but they were corrected quickly.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are thrilled you had a wonderful and memorable experience with us. We hope to see you again soon here in the Sunshine State. Thank you, Your Distinctive Team
We had an amazing stay! There was plenty of room for our family of six. The pool and hot tub were very clean and the best part of our stay in FL. There were lots of little kid toys, pool toys, and beach towels. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!
This was one of our favorite VRBOs that we have had the opportunity to stay in. The house was spotless, well equipped, comfortable, in a very quiet neighborhood and also in a great location to see and enjoy the other nearby areas, beaches, parks and towns. Pool area and hot tub were great. We saw dolphins in the canal a few times and our pup loved watching fish jump, geckos run around and the variety of birds in the area. We would stay here again !
Due to weather we were not able to use the pool so only used the hot tub which was very nice. Good neighborhood, friendly neighbors, great location. Lots in the area to do.
We had a Great time AND WILL BE BACK!! The neighbors were super nice. The location was beautiful. The house was super clean and the Master Bed very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were nice. Thank you
We had a wonderful time at a beautiful place. Thank you!

Nice house the view from the lanai is great.
Had some issues at first but called and they were fixed promptly and we enjoyed our stay. Wish there was a table and chairs outside so my family could have eaten in the lanai.

Hello Ed,
Thank you for your comments. It was our pleasure to host you and your family for your getaway. If there was anything we could have done to make your stay more enjoyable, it would have been our pleasure. We appreciate all suggestions from guests as this is how we can continue to improve our customer satisfaction. Again, we thank you for your feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to host you once more in the near future.
Absolutely beautiful and open layout. Very clean throughout, furniture is very comfortable along with the beds. Loved the pool area and had a great time fishing in the canal. This home was perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you!
Very clean and comfortable, loved the pool area. Loved the area except for limited local restaurants and they weren’t that good. Neighborhood pleasant and good for walking our dog ( as well as paved path on the parkway that goes for miles).
Our family has been utilizing VRBO for our vacations four years now. Our goal has been to find a different area to travel to every trip. This has been the best home we've stayed at bar none - beautifully decorated and laid out, spacious enough for our group of six so we all had space to relax alone but three great places to have meals and play games. We had such an amazing and restful time we have talked about a return trip to this specific property. Highly recommend.

Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We're happy you had a fantastic time with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Home is very nice only problem we have had is the ac went out and the hot tub has quit working twice
We would definitely rent again if they can fix the ac and hot tub. We got lucky it cooled off some before ac went out. But we do love the house and property. Management has been good to work with in trying to fix problems.
Where do I start. When we arrived at the property and got settled in everything thing was great until i used restroom I went to wash my hands and no water. V trips arrived with in 30 to turn the water back on. Then the property was supposed to have cable or satellite tv, so the guy who came out that turned the water on started it steaming only,so beware there are no local channels or cable or satellite. The sauna on worked one night,the ice maker didn’t work either. Then on we had a water leak in the kitchen,water was dripping from the ceiling down onto the floor and counters in front of refrigerator but we leaving anyway due to the upcoming hurricane..just beware this house has issues.

Would Not Return
The house itself is very nice. That’s where it ends. The neighborhood is mediocre and has a bit of construction going on. The property had small lizards everywhere. I know it’s Florida and would expect to see a few but I have visited Florida many times and never seen this many. Mostly outside, but when we went to go in the screened in pool area we spotted several inside the screen. When we spotted one inside the house, we packed up and left. Reserved for a week and did not stay one day. I understand the trip was to be non refundable but we notified them same day that we had checked out and would not be staying. I had hoped that they would have at least worked with us and given a partial refund but we did not so much as get a response. If you are ok with lots of lizards and very buggy (swarms - it does not appear that they have any sort of pest management) then you would not mind staying here. We were not comfortable staying.

Hi, Danielle! I'm so sorry to hear you left so quickly, especially since we would have welcomed the opportunity to send someone out. And we do have pest control regularly inspect the property, so we'll continue working with our vendors to ensure the natural wildlife stays well outside.
From the moment we arrived we felt like we were at home. The house was everything as advertised and more. Extremely clean, which is very important to me, and absolutely everything that you could possibly need was in the house. The house is gorgeous, in a great area, and the views were incredible. Everything we needed to cook and never have to leave the house unless we wanted to. All of the beds were very comfortable And we had a great time. Will definitely stay again next year if it’s available. There was even a sweet, welcome basket from the owners. And whoever they have hired as their cleaning service definitely goes above and beyond. One last thing and I feel like this is important to mention, because we travel a lot and the little things matter to us. We stayed over Thanksgiving break, and there were even little Thanksgiving holiday flowers and touches around the house that just made it feel more welcoming. This is definitely a home, not just a vacation house.
Property was clean, very well supplied with everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and fishing off the dock! Bed was very comfortable. We will stay here again!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Susan. We enjoyed having the chance to host you, and we hope to be able to welcome you back!
Fantastic home on the canal with a wonderful pool/entertainment area. The home was extremely clean. Very quiet neighborhood, close to bike trails and about 15 minutes to beach access. We absolutely loved it and would definitely stay here again! VRBO was very helpful, when we got here we were given the incorrect code to get inside, but I was able to contact them and get the correct code and they also helped me get the Wi-Fi password.
