We loved staying at this beachside house. It was so convenient for our family with small children because of its direct access to the beach. The views were unmatched by any place that we’ve ever stayed, and the house was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Our kids loved using the provided toys, and we appreciated the fully-outfitted kitchen. We recommend this location 100%.

Thank you for choosing Dolphins Pass 🐬 for your vacation. Can’t wait to host you again!
The minute we opened the front door the most amazing view welcomed us. The sunrise and sunset was magnificent. The board games we played were fun for all.The large dining table fit us all for meals. We had a tournament that included ping pong and corn hole on the cooler day. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you may need to cook a meal.
The property was perfectly located near the beach where my handicapped husband could watch the kids swim from the large windows or out on the deck and still feel included. The house was beautiful and stocked with so many things that made our stay more enjoyable. The owner was excellent to communicate with and was fine with texting if we had any questions. I would definitely choose this place again!

Loved hosting you and your families at Dolphins Pass! Look forward to your return!
This place is really nice easy to find, and accessible. I stayed there with family which was a total of 11 people and all of the furnishings and kitchen set up was perfect. We ate most of our meals there, and being able to walk out to the beach was so nice. I would definitely recommend it as a great place to stay for a family.
This palace is AWESOME! The best view on Pensacola beach! It lives up to it's name, the Dolphins were constantly passing by. The home is immaculate, best kitchen, living dining...everything! Loved this place so much! Hope to return soon. My heartfelt thanks to the owners for making this dream come true.

Thank you for choosing Dolphins Pass 🐬!
Would love to host you and your lovely group again and again!
The house is lovely with a well stocked kitchen and amazing views. The owner is very responsive and helpful! It was a wonderful week in a comfortable home!!
The Dolphin Pass has everything; location right on the gulf side with your own boardwalk, plenty of rooms and space to hang out with 14 people, 2 years and older. The large windows and incredible view were breathtaking. The kitchen had a wide variety of cooking utensils. The ice maker was an added bonus for such a large group. Home owner is very accommodating, quick and clear communication/expectations. Already booked for next year!

So glad you loved Dolphins Pass and it is wonderful that you will be returning! Thank you.
Everything was wonderful! The house is cozy and has a fantastic layout for a group. The kitchen is well stocked and the living room is very comfortable with plenty of seating. You don’t even have to bring beach gear because the host has it all for you. This house was everything we hoped for and more. We took a multigenerational trip and everyone from my 10 month old to my grandmother loved the house and everything about it. Special shout out to the host: even if you somehow weren’t in love with this house, Andree would change your mind with her kindness, responsiveness, and willingness to help make your vacation perfect. I can’t rave enough!

About the host
Hosted by Andree Murlin
I am a retired Social Worker. I grew up in New Orleans, my family visited often, and our family loves Pensacola Beach.
Why they chose this property
My family has owned this house since 1981. It was rebuilt in 1997 following Hurricane Opal. It was named as Dolphins Pass then. And yes, the dolphins do pass by on most days. Growing up, I have spent half my childhood at this house on weekends and school breaks. My husband and I have just begun, and plan to continue updating Dolphins Pass. My kids think of this as a second home. We hope you and your family make many memories here year after year!
What makes this property unique
Pensacola Beach has beautiful sugar white sand beaches. The house is a 2 block walk to the Trolley stop. Enjoy multiple restaurants, gift shops, live entertainment, water activities (fishing, dolphin cruises, jet ski rentals), and weekly summer free concerts on the beach. Minutes away from the historic city of Pensacola where you can enjoy several museums, farmers markets, festivals, baseball, and much more. At this time the NAS Naval Museum is free and open to the public. Contact the Museum directly for more information. The island is home to Fort Pickens and the beautiful Gulf Islands National Seashore. Blue Angels practice "show" is weekly at NAS Pensacola or can be seen from Fort Pickens. During the season, their practice is usually Tuesday/Wednesday, weather permitting. Check online schedule for updated info. On most Sundays in the summer at @ 6:30 PM, The Blue Angels and Fat Albert fly in front of the house on their way home to NAS Pensacola.
