Great stay

We came to Gulfport to visit family. Picked this home so we could bring our dog. Beautifully furnished - kitchen had everything imaginable, but we didn’t cook! Quiet neighborhood - enjoyed walking around in spite of the damage done by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Highly recommend this home and will put it on our “return to” list!

Nice trip

We had such an easy time with our stay! The house is perfect for couples or a family with the split floor plan! The fenced in backyard made it so easy for us with our little fur babies as well❤️ I would highly recommend if you love Gulfport or St Pete area because it is close to it all!!

Perfection as Always

This is our 2nd time staying at Dolphin House. The first time was in December 2012 before the upgrades & it was great the, but now it is amazing! The addition of a screened porch was wonderful, the new kitchen is gorgeous, & the coffee bar is great! Thank you for a relaxing vacation in a spacious house with awesome amenities!

Gulfport St Paddy’s

This was a great spot tucked in just behind all the hot spots in Gulfport. Easy walking distance to all that Gulfport offers. Clean and well maintained house, 3 separate bedrooms, 2 full baths, great kitchen, open concept with a couple of nice outdoor sitting areas. I highly recommend this place and plan to use it again.

Home away from home

This property was perfect for our staycation. We had a wedding to attend in the area and property was a perfect little hideaway while being close enough to getting everywhere we wanted to. Great walking distance to the picturesque Gulfport. The neighbors/neighborhood was quiet, perfect to have a cup of coffee and/or grill in the backyard. Our host had great communication with us and was able to address any and all the questions I had beforehand. We would definitely recommend to others as well as stay again.

Hurricane Interruption

Unfortunately we were unable to make our trip due to back to back hurricanes. That being said, I have previously enjoyed one of their properties and it was a 5 star property. I hope to rebook Dolphin House next spring. Buying trip insurance is a must...it covered my losses 100%.

Great Property and Location

We came for the Sarasota Arts Festival and are glad we stayed in this area. We own several long term and two short term rentals so we know how things should be managed. This property checked all the boxes. It was spotless and very well maintained. You can walk to several good Resturant’s and the local beach. We really enjoyed the Italian and Greek Resturants. The beds were comfortable and the screened in porch was an added luxury.

Third times a charm!

This was our third stay at Dolphin House. We like the layout, which allows for some privacy when staying with family members such as adult siblings. The kitchen is very well equipped. This was the second year that we made Thanksgiving dinner while there. The neighborhood is great for walking. There are restaurants and shops nearby. All in all a great place to stay.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

The property was awesome! Lots of room for our family. The split layout was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were all comfortable. The backyard was great for grilling. Literally one block from all the restaurants, bars, etc. We enjoyed going to Caddy's! Great establishment with drinks, food and heard some wonderful bands. Watched the fireworks, and also had a great italian dinner. Went to the ice cream shop and was wonderful as well. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
