We loved our stay! Jackie, our host was wonderful with lots of information to share and help make our stay the best. We enjoyed kayaking on the river, biking around town, and the short walk to the beach to enjoy some sunshine and relaxation. We would definitely come back.

Everything was as advertised. We enjoyed biking to the beach. Only thing I would change would be that we could have really used a full length mirror.

Cozy room with nice amenities. It’s Carothers street from a school playground so the outdoor seating area could be noisy during school hours. Lots of nice amenities including bikes, paddle boards, microwave, coffee etc. we’d stay here again.

Cute & convenient!
Had a great time at this place! It was cute and clean and had the necessities for a beach getaway! Love that they have chairs,umbrella and even a cooler to take to the beach and a dolly to use to take it all! Made our beach days sooo much easier and saved us a ton of money not having to rent/buy stuff! The owner returned messages promptly also! Only thing I would recommend to get would be to get a full length mirror somewhere in the room/back of one of the doors because the only other one was in the bathroom and it was smaller/high up and hard to see out of when you’re short. Overall had an excellent time and would definitely stay here again!

Dolphin Den
There was very little or no communication with our host, I had to call Vrbo to get the address. It was hard to gain entrance to our place. A learning process...The bed was horrible! The mattress needed to thrown out!. My wife forgot her med in the refridge and the host brought them to the cruise port after we were already on the ship, We were so relieved and appreciated the drop! Thanks so MUCH! Beside the bed and the coffee machine not working it was just OK!

Mostly As Advertised but Privacy Lacking
The unit is attached to a cute little house with a cute little garden that is nicely decorated. I liked the neighborhood, the beautiful lake front is nearby, an easy walk for most. I felt that the area and property itself were safe and drama free. My primary complaint and why I gave four stars is my perception of a lack of privacy. The head of the bed is right next to a door that is obscured by a curtain. I could easily hear the inhabitants conversations and the music they were listening to. Which means they could hear any conversations I was having. Needless to say I went for a drive in my car when I needed to speak with my wife on the phone and I wanted total privacy. The owners seemed nice enough, friendly and normal. So I didn’t fear for my safety. But I guess you never know. Some people may find it unsettling to have a door right next to their head while sleeping. Also, the unit has a very small ‘manufactured’ shower that larger people may have a problem using. And finally, the unit did have a peculiar smell. Wasn’t necessarily foul but not pleasant either. For the money and what is available in the price range of the unit, it is acceptable. Personally I did and I would suggest to other people that in lieu of staying at this property, find a budget hotel/motel to stay at.

Owner and Agent went above and beyond
I had some complications with the booking process due to a mistake on my end, spelled my email wrong, and the property owner as well as the booking agent were very helpful helping me iron out the situation. The unit was cozy and had everything I needed for a last minute stay at the beach. I will definitely be back!
