We saw the dolphins on day 1 and a few other times while we were there. Overall, the outside of the house needs some cosmetic repairs. The interior was great for us and our dogs. Our dogs did find every sticker bur (sp?) possible with their paws. So be wary of those and bring tweezers.Couches were good for afternoon naps! The views and dolphin sightings right by the house made this a great and relaxing Christmas vacation for us.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The location was amazing! Short walk to the beach, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We did see dolphins from the deck, it was maybe the closest we have been to a wild dolphin! It was such a joy being able to have our dogs there and the clean up instructions were simple. I am removing one star because while the house was neat & tidy it was not clean - a lot of dust & dirt on the window sills, marks on the doors, fabric of pretty much everything had a stain on it. It felt more like a fishing camp but we absolutely loved it and had a great time.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Plenty of open space. Well stocked with kitchen/cooking utensils. Able to fish and run crab traps right outside front door. Beach access right across highway. Mature kids can get to beach easily with bicycles.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This little bay front cottage is one of my favorite VRBO stays. It bears the wounds and scars from tropical storms yet it’s so comfortable and homey. The views from the porch are unmatched. My husband and our two dogs enjoyed our time there fishing, birdwatching, and watching the dolphins that came to play just in front of the little cottage. Chuck was fast and friendly with communication. I can’t wait to come back.
