We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house! It was perfect for our large family — spacious, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed.The layout was ideal, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still having great spaces to gather together for meals, games, and time by the pool. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet.The location was fantastic — just a short walk to the beach, and close to shops and restaurants.We made some great memories here and would absolutely come back. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a fun and easy beach vacation!

Dolphin cove was great

The house was spotless, and there were lots of traffic gathering places for our big group of family and friends. We cooked a lot with the kitchen and the outdoor grills, and it was fantastic.

Family Reunion Spot

Used this rental for our first family reunion and was not disappointed. It definitely met all our needs and expectations. The rooms were even cooled down before we got there! Private pool was awesome and it had a gate to keep the wondering toddlers out. Kitchen sat all members. Overall great property would book again!

Annual Birthday Beach Bash Bonanza

It's always challenging to find a house to fit our large family (including 9 Grandkids). Dolphin Cove was spacious enough for each family to have their bedrooms/bathrooms with plenty of common space as well! The fenced in pool added much appreciated security, and the fire pit was an unexpected bonus! We may have found the perfect spot for our Annual Birthday Beach Bash!

Great Experience

The property was just as described. The house was a perfect fit for the size of our party, which consisted of adults, teenagers and a few younger children! The neighborhood was relatively quiet for the week of Spring Break. Check-in and check-out was easy and convenient. Property management was helpful and very responsive. Short drive to the beach and shopping! Overall amazing experience, would definitely rent this house again!!

Great Home for a Large Group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a large group of graduates off to college for one last trip. The house was perfect as far as the layout. Adults had their own quarters and then there were plenty of additional rooms for the 14 rising freshmen in college. The pool was a plus and the kitchen/living area was perfect for gatherings, food, and relaxation. Not too far from the beach and easy to walk to.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our property and it fit our families needs perfectly. Our four kids, their spouses and our 13 grandchildren each had a bed and the number of beds fit our various family members perfectly (5 couples w 13 grandchildren ranging in age & gender). The property managers were very responsive. We found the mattresses to be comfy as well. There were a few minor repairs needed, but it didn't affect our stay at all. We already want to come back!

Great spot for multi-family getaway

We decided to do a long weekend with neighbors at the beach - 4 families, 8 adults and 11 kids ranging in age from 5-17. This house was the perfect spot. There were places we could all hang out indoors and outdoors, plenty of seats for everyone to eat together, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Some of the kids shared bedrooms but the bunk situation made that easy. It was too cold when we were there to spend much time in the pool at the house, but the neighborhood pools that are heated are a very short walk away. We did have a plumbing issue while we were at the house, but the management company was easy to get in touch with and sent someone out promptly who fixed the problem.

One section of property was unusable because of mold and dehumidifier and fans going. Master bathroom had mold in tub grout and tike grout on walls. Kitchen well stocked except for one coffee pot for 24 people. So bring some with you. One of the Dishwashers broken but they came and fixed it right away. 3 top bunk beds did not have any guard railing so they could not be slept in. UnsafePlenty of sleeping if available for use. Beds are very comfortable. Plenty of eating area for large group. AC is terrific. Too many extra charge threats. Been doing this almost ever summer since 1977 and never seen those kind of extra charge threats. Reachable only during regular business hours. Not impressed. So sorry. Rented this house last minute because of hill country floods cancelled us so you would think some gratitude since a large property was available during the peak of summer. Just kinda rude getting it. Live and learn. Never done a review like this in almost 50 yrs. Of vacationing. My photos are of the mold.

Serious insect problem. This place needs an exterminator immediately. Bugs (cockroaches) found all throughout the house, especially in the kitchen. Landscaping needs to be taken care of. Bushes are unkept around pool area and constantly dropping flowers in the pool. For the dollars pay for the rental, more attention to detail is needed.

Not the vacation experience we were expecting

We booked this high dollar rental for a special summer family beach vacation and paid a substantial amount of for the week, expecting a wonderful, memory making experience. Unfortunately the reality fell far short of that and the rental was a major disappointmentShortly after we arrived we were shocked to find that the kitchen ceiling was actively leaking due to broken A/C.Buckets had to be placed throughout the main living area and kitchen to catch constant dripping of water-completely disrupting the heart of the home where we had planned to gather, cook and spend quality timeWith small children and toddlers in our group, the wet cement floor was a constant slipping hazard, We had several calls with the management company, they sent a tech out a couple times then they finally had to have a company come and replace the air conditioners, which left us without any air-conditioning or access to the main living areas for an entire day of our stayWhat’s even more disappointing is the companies complete unwillingness to offer any meaningful compensation or refund citing contract clauses. For the price, this was unacceptable. The pool was dirty and the fire pit was full of cigarette buts, mold was apparent on some of the air returns, we could’ve overlooked those, but the way the AC mess was handled was terrible Poor customer service - would not book again
We had to keep adding more buckets

We have been renting homes in Port Aransas for many years and finally have a management company that offers a higher level of service. The house was immaculate and ready when we arrived. Check in was a breeze and the office staff was great. Can't wait to come back.
