The house was really comfortable and the location was over the top. Quiet street, beautiful quiet beach views, easy walk to several restaurants. And Brad and Debbie are fabulous landlords!!!
We were cozy and entertained. Was a pleasant trip with my grow up kids.

Julie, thank you for staying at blue dolphin over the new year! The fireworks and festivities make Saint augustine a magical place during the holidays. 🎄🏖️
Perfect combination of beach and pool activities for families or anyone! The house has a nice feel of old Florida with all the amenities one needs . Great walking to restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Brad is extremely responsive and helpful with any issue or request. Couldn’t ask for a better spot. The pool is as described, big and clean. There are plenty of floats, etc . The beach is your front yard, no problem at all to go back to the house if needed. Great sunrises . Everyone who came wants to return next year.
All 9 of us felt this vacation exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect. Our grandson loved having a park and splash pad nearby and the adults loved nightly walks for ice cream. The house has a fantastic pool area stocked with games and toys for all. Best of all, right on the beautiful beach!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house has the BEST location on the beach and is a 10 minute drive to St. Augustine. The pool is awesome with lots of deck chairs and lounge chairs available.

Thank you Liana for the kind review. When you rebook for next year, I want to know what I can do to get that 5th star.
Perfect FL cottage on the beach. Beautiful sunrises & the beach is quite entertaining but definitely family oriented. Blue Dolphin was a treasure. So glad we found it. Hoping to return again.
Love this place exspecialy having a private pool. Wish there would have been some steps down to ocean hard to climb back up with our 86 year old mother.
We were able to book this beautiful house at the last minute for my son's 16th birthday. The boys had a great time at the beach surfing most of the day then hanging out in the pool! This property had all the boxes checked for us. Plus the host Brad is Awesome and super helpful! We will be staying again!!

About the host
Hosted by Brad
I purchased the house 25 years ago, with hopes that someday I will retire in Saint Augustine (my favorites city in the country). My family tries to spend as much time at Blue dolphin as we can, when the house is not rented. I enjoy relaxing at the beach, eating at Beach Comber or Salt Life (both walking distance along the beach) and riding my bike along the beach to explore. And I should not forget boogie boarding (there are always great waves).
Why they chose this property
This house was made for families. The pool the beach and the charm of a unique beach house built in 1936. There are guests that have stayed at blue dolphin when they were very young and remember the great times. Most guests include grandchildren, children and grandparent.
