All over 60 spending family vacation together, weather was beautiful until the last day, layout of main level full bath off garage/poolroom was a little far from the bedrooms and garage/ billiard room was very warm to play pool in at most times. But over all we had a blast.

A well appointed house with wonderful owners. Myself along with some friends and family didnt want to leave. The property itself is breathaking, with wonderful water views, a much needed pool and neat little outcoves sprinkled around the yard. A nice patio table in the shade by the water, a tiki hut with a dining table, a grilling station and a dock with some primo fishing. The interior was spotless, the rooms were large and plentiful enough to fit 10 of us. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked and the sunroom was a great place to relax and umwind. Fabienne and Gerald were responsive and incredibly welcoming hosts, I'd recommend it to anyone and cant wait to be able to go back.

Paradise revisited

We are three senior sisters and their husbands who have found Casa Dolphina to be the perfect place for a yearly get together. This was our fourth visit with our fifth reserved. We keep returning since the amenities check all of our boxes, inside and out. Fabienne and Gerold are the perfect hosts who know how to make it known you are appreciated.

Beautiful Morning - Amazing Sunsets

Our stay at this waterfront paradise was nothing short of magical! This was not our first time renting this property, and we will be back again! The property exceeded expectations with its breathtaking views and thoughtful amenities. Waking up and enjoying coffee on the deck overlooking the water was pure bliss. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature’s beauty. We are already planning my next family stay!

The most wonderful family vacation!

Casa Dolphina was the perfect vacation spot for our family! We had 8 adults and 2 kids in our group. The house was clean, well kept, and the perfect size for everyone to be together but also have their own space. Some of the group fished from the dock while others relaxed in the pool and hot tub, even played some pool, and kayaked in our downtime. The sunroom was the most popular spot; rain or shine you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view of the water. The owners were fabulous, and their attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. Fabienne and Gerold were incredibly kind and came bearing gifts, welcoming us with open arms and made us feel comfortable in their home. They helped suggest things to do close by, even suggested some beautiful beaches to check out and dinner spots. They stayed in touch for anything we could have ever needed. Prior to our trip, they quickly responded to all of our questions. The location couldnt be better! You have everything you need, whether it be stores, golf, food, or even several beaches in just a short drive, but honestly there’s so much to enjoy at the house you may not even want to leave. 10/10 experience and 5 stars all around. Thank you for everything and sharing your beautiful home with us! We had the best time and will most definitely be back!!

Simply the BEST

Myself and 8 others found casa dolphina to be one of our favorite trips that we’ve ever been on (personally I put it at the top of my list of vacations) - the location is so beautiful it’s hard to put into words, besides the stunning views and activities offered at the house it is in a very convenient (and beautiful) location, easy to get to and with very short drives to and from popular locations such as downtown Saint Pete’s and the beaches (nothing was ever further than 30 minutes away) the house had every amenity you would need for a long trip and honestly you could stay at the house for every day of your trip and still have a blast. In conclusion 10/10 Hosts, 10/10 location and a 10/10 experience Fabienne and Gerold made it a point to make us feel special and also were super cooperative and communicative, we would not have had such a great trip without them!

My family recently spent a week at Casa Dolphina and my 11 yr old nephew summed it up best… “that was the best vacation I’ve ever had!!” he told me. Now, he hasn’t been on that many vacations yet in his young little life, but I certainly have and I can honestly tell you, he’s not wrong. As the planner extraordinaire of our family vacations, I can confidently say that my entire family echoes his sentiment. If you’re looking for an absolutely stunning, well maintained, clean, spacious, beautiful property full of charm and character then look no further because you’ve found it! The location & views-breathtaking! The neighborhood-peaceful, beautiful and friendly. The amenities-you’ll have absolutely everything you could ever want or need! I’ll also add that my parents with limited mobility really appreciated how accessible everything was for them. This home is a true gem and it exceeded every expectation and then some. We will forever cherish the memories we made here- sharing family stories in the sunroom over coffee, daily dolphin sightings, kayaking in the bay and exploring the nearby island. We truly had the time of our lives. My family cannot stop raving to me about how much they loved this home!! And if that’s not enough, the hosts Fabienne and Gerold are just absolutely delightful and kind human beings. I can’t say enough about how amazing & wonderful they are! Fabienne even planted a plumeria tree from my late great uncle’s home so now we have family at Casa Dolphina!
The sand on the island was soft and beautiful and the water was warm!

Another Great week at Casa Dolphina!

This was my family and my 2nd year renting this property and it was another great week for us! The property is very spacious for our family of 8 adults and 2 children. We love the pool (it is well worth it to pay the extra to heat the pool!)as we as the dock and access to kayaks. The owners welcomed us on our first full day and are always very responsive both for questions before and during our stay. I highly recommend this property and we are already looking forward to returning next year!

We arrived as tropical storm Debbie passed by. Even though the weather was bad for a day and half we had plenty of fun utilizing the game room to play pool, board games to entertain ourselves. After the storm passed we had beautiful weather and was able to soak up the sun by the pool, The girls loved the pool and the guys loved fishing from the dock where they caught dinner a couple days. The owners were awesome and. Rey responsive to any questions or needs we had before and during our stay. We will definitely come back to stay again. The house had everything we wanted and needed for a wonderful and friends vacation.

AMAZING!!!.....As always

Once again, Casa Dolphina knocked it out of the park! This was our second time staying and we may have enjoyed it more than the first. Fabienne and Gerold are amazing hosts and go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We had 6 adults and 3 children and had more than enough room. Saw dolphins everyday, 2 manatees, caught 4 small sharks, and multiple catfish. Can't wait to make it back!

Casa Dolphina

The property had a nice variety of activities for our family of 6 adults and 5 grandchildren (12-17). The pool table was a hit with the boys, kayaking was fun, and hot tub was a good relaxing time after fishing off dock and swimming in pool. The property owners were most responsive to any questions prior to our visit and during. We enjoyed Fabienne’s cupcakes too! The view from the back was a daily evening event…lovely view of bay with beautiful sunsets… Definitely recommend for a relaxing and fun vacation….

The home is absolutely beautiful and is set up perfectly for a family. The views are amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better host/hostess.

Relaxing visit in paradise!

The communication with Fabienne was excellent both before and after booking and during our entire stay. We had a wonderful visit and took full advantage of all the property had to offer from the swimming pool (strongly recommend upgrading to heat the pool!) to kayaking and relaxing in the hot tub. We had 10 people in our party - 8 adults and 2 kids and the house was very spacious. The kids are 1 and 3 years old and the bunk bed room with the pink panther on the wall was a big hit as was the dock lift, pool, cool birds that would stop by to visit and dolphin sightings. The host gifts both upon the beginning and end of our stay were much appreciated nice touches to make us feel welcome. I strongly recommend a visit to casa dolphina!
