Did Not Disappoint!
This is an excellent vacation rental property! The host Linda is excellent to work with! Very roomy and great house for large group or family! I was SO impressed with all the things the owner has included in the home, even just the little things! They have thought things out well, as to what you might need while staying there! Highly recommend this property!!!

Perfect location. Easy private beach access steps away. Plenty of room in the house and on both beachfront decks. Kitchen was well equipped as we like to cook; especially fresh fish from the nearby Farmers Markets. Great communication with the owners. Will stay here again next year!

Enjoyed the short walk to the beach with our grandkids. We had enough room to spread out for quiet time. Kitchen well stocked. Publix handy nearby. Traffic during these dates was so slow! But, the weather was amazing!

Beach stay
Great access to a beautiful beach. Funky Big house with lots of beds and living space. Grocery store (Publix) down the street (walkable) and beautiful Church (Ascension) similar distance the other way. Be aware- have to climb stairs; stock up on paper towels, TP, dishwasher/laundry and hand/shower soap at your first grocery run. Loved our stay!

This was an amazing house! Very clean and well kept. Just a very short walk to the beach, just one house in front of it, but sand from the bottom of the stairs all the way to the ocean. Their were 8 of us staying there, 4 adults and 4 children, it was perfect for us! We definitely would come back and stay here again!!

Fantastic Stay
We enjoyed our stay so very much that one of our guests is making plans to bring a group of friends back next year‼️We were so happy to be allowed to bring our dog on our stay! BTW he loved the water & was a huge hit on the beach💚It’s wonderful for guests to have master baths (2) & 2 full hall baths! Excellent with lots of guests‼️The kitchen was great with the island into the living room& plenty of dining space! It was great to have a washer & dryer but the washer sounds like it’s on it’s last leg!!! The second living room upstairs was great to have a quiet space to enjoy. We felt at home during our stay💚

Wonderful house, just about on the beach
The house is larger than the pictures show. Perfect layout for large group. Loved that there are 2 tv rooms, both very comfortable. Beds more comfortable than our own and the bedrooms as spacious. Incredibly well stocked kitchen with plenty of place settings and seating options. The decks are wonderful and it is truly steps from the beach, easy for my 85 yr old mom to walk to. Linda is great to work with, excellent follow through and a pleasure. I highly recommend renting this property, it has all you need and more.

Great home & location
We enjoyed our week at the Blue Dolphin. Linda was excellent to work with! She provided great information & communication. The home was clean & stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware & towels. The decks were great for relaxing or playing cards. It’s in a great location to the beach, grocery store, restaurants.

Property was great. Great location. Plenty of room for everyone - we had five of us and we were all able to have our own room. Beautiful views even though we were behind another house. Short walk to get out on the beach. I was lucky and had the upstairs bedroom and was able to work in the family room and watch the beautiful sunsets. Initially, when we arrived was a bit concerned as the trash was pretty full, but realized when we checked out we left trash and recycling as well as it is picked up earlier in the week. We had quick response and resolution to any issues we had. House does move if it's very windy, but nothing major that made me think - wouldn't do it again. All in all - enjoyed the week with my sisters and cousin relaxing in the sunshine - knowing in the midwest it was cold and miserable.

Comfortable and clean 5 bedroom home just steps from the beautiful beach and amazing sunsets of FMB! This home has a large well equipped kitchen and has a great layout that allows for privacy between the upstairs and downstairs living areas. We really enjoyed our stay and the owners provided a detailed welcome letter that was really informative about the house and area! We will definitely look to stay here again in the future! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home

The property was beautiful, roomy & so close to the beach! Our host was very very easy to work with & helpful in so many ways! We had planned on 5 couples, but only 3 made it. The property would be perfect for families with children or young adults. There are 2 rooms that have twin beds, 3 other bedrooms & 2 very spacious setting areas. Bonus are the 2 decks that have access from outside as well as in.Lots of shopping & places to eat - some within walking distance & others a short driving distance.Overall - would highly recommend a stay @ the Blue Dolphin!!

Four couples from the chilly north-we enjoyed the quiet of this home and proximity to the beach. It was nice to be able to grill right there on the busy weekend. Plenty of room to be together when we wanted and apart when we wanted. Good communication with Linda-thanks.
