Relaxing Break
Decided we needed some sun after a rough, snowy mid-western January. A repeat annual visit to the Dolphin Watch rental was just what we needed. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We felt very secure in the house. Great location with lots of restaurants, shopping and golf courses in the area. The reservation process was quick and easy.

We are so glad Dolphin Watch could be your sunshine escape after a long, snowy Midwest winter. There is nothing better than trading snow for beach days.
It means so much that you continue to return each year and that the home once again had everything you needed. We are especially happy to hear you felt comfortable and secure during your stay. That peace of mind matters.
Thank you for your kind words about the easy reservation process as well. We truly appreciate your continued trust in Solely and look forward to welcoming you back next January.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the fantastic location of Dolphin Watch. We hope to welcome you back soon for another beachfront getaway!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed another great stay with us at Dolphin Watch. It's fantastic to know the home's location and amenities made your vacation comfortable and convenient. We truly appreciate your loyalty and can't wait to welcome you back for year three at the beach!
Beautiful home. Perfect for our family with a Million Dollar view. The house however needs some much needed TLC. However, with that being said, we would rent it again for our next trip and also recommend to others.
Lovely place and location perfect for our honeymoon!

Very Good
We loved our stay here. Only complaint we had was the people setting up their beach chairs and tent in our private beach space! Also would be nice if the property provided 6 chairs and umbrellas instead of 4. We loved our stay!!
Our stay at Dolphin Watch was fantastic. The views of the Gulf are superb and the house is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are spacious and elegant, and everything you need is at your fingertips. Nice, big comfy couch too. Huge deck with lots of comfortable, large chairs. Would stay here again anytime!
We had a great time at Dolphin Watch. The water is clear and calm, the beach is powdery white sand. Absolutely gorgeous. The house was perfect for us, with two primary bedrooms and a loft bedroom for our teenager. Having the golf cart was awesome too! Host was very responsive and kind when we had a question. Can’t say enough good things about this vacation!
We had a wonderful winter beach vacation. The view from the deck was perfect for sunrise and sunset. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living area was spacious. The linens were very soft!!

Relaxing Vacation
This was our second stay at Dolphin Watch. We found the same comfortable home, with easy beach access. The house was clean and neat and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. While on the deck on one of our last days, we were delighted to be entertained by a pod/herd of dolphins. Would definitely recommend.
Husband and I came to work from home and this set up was great. Beautiful property and great location.

Outstanding Stay
I have been coming to Destin for years now and stayed at several different properties with different rental agencies, this was by far the best experience we have had. The property was very clean and the rental company was very pro active throughout our stay. Excellent location and has more amenities than you could ever need. We have already booked next year at the same property with the same company.

Wonderfully relaxing on the beach
This place was great. It was extremely relaxing. Right on the beach and gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. The fireplace added a cozy element. Beds were comfortable. Lots of restaurants close by. Would definitely recommend this place.
Wanted for NOTHING! Loved this place and hope to enjoy it again!

Dolphin watch
Loved waking up to the beach and going to bed with the sounds of the waves! The attention to comfort in bedding and bath towels was exceptional. We also loved having beach chairs and umbrellas put out for us each day. We also loved being centrally located to shopping and dining. Thanks for a great vacation!
