The Dolphin Beach Home has a mirror image duplex home if you are interested that is called the Sea Turtle Pool & Beach Home. The Sea Turtle and Dolphin homes are both beautiful with similar functionality and layouts. Most of the beds, furniture, TVs, Internet and appliances and are exactly the same for both the Sea Turtle and Dolphin. The Sea Turtle Beach Home is on the north side of the property so in the winter it is a little more shaded while the Dolphin Beach Home is on the south side of the property that gets a little more sun and natural light coming in, especially during the fall and winter. However, the Sea Turtle sleeper sofa is a new La-Z-boy air mattress sleeper sofa that is easier to sleep on while the Dolphin sleeper sofa is an older coil-based mattress. The two living room recliner chairs in the Sea Turtle are new while the Dolphin ones are older and we already have a replacement for the blue-green chair but it is not new. The Sea Turtle kitchen table is more colorful and has six matching chairs while the Dolphin table is brown and has four matching chairs with a couple others that can be used. The Sea Turtle also has one less kitchen cabinet, which allowed us to place a fourth bar stool underneath the inside kitchen area to make it a little work area with the quartz countertop as a desk. Due to the position of the pool and lanai with the home and the driveway, the Sea Turtle has two bedrooms with direct views onto the lanai and pool while the Dolphin has one bedroom (master with king bed) with direct views onto the lanai and pool area while the other bedroom looks out to the driveway pickleball court and garden area. Otherwise, there are no substantial differences. The Pool, Pickleball Court / Badminton Court, and area to play Cornhole or Golf Ball Toss Game are the only shared areas. There are separate pool lanai seating areas and tables for each Beach Home, separate Grills, and everything else is separate. The Pool, Pickleball Court / Badminton Court, and area to play Cornhole or Golf Ball Toss Game are the only shared areas. There are separate pool lanai seating areas and tables for each Beach Home, separate Grills, separate Firepots, and everything else is separate.
If you want to have a family reunion vacation or have friends close by with more folks, both Beach Homes add up to many amenities.
