Great Beach Stay
My wife and I had a great stay at the beach at Dolphin Views. The home is located right on the beach with excellent views from the deck and living room. The home was exactly as described in the listing, and was extremely clean at check in and very well furnished with everything we needed. Check-in / check-out was a breeze and we will definitely be visiting again.

Perfect little beach house for a family of 4
We had the best time at Dolphin Views! The house was adorable, clean, and had everything we needed and more. We experienced low crowds on the weekday and a very busy Saturday but both were enjoyable. Would definitely visit again!

Great location
This house was perfect for our stay. It’s true beachfront. I brought my dogs and they loved hanging out on the fenced deck. The house is within walking distance to Seahorse Grill which was great for dinner one night. We will definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean and well maintained. The location was perfect and within walking distance of two restaurants but far enough away there’s no noise or crowds. Honestly can’t wait to book this beach house again.
