Great location, lots of room
We loved staying here. Waking up every morning to the water and the dock was amazing. There was plenty of room for our family to enjoy the week in Florida. We cooked several meals. The beds were comfortable. We saw two rocket launches from the dock.

Sibling reunion
This house worked perfectly for the reunion of our siblings and spouses. When we invited local friends and family for the day, we had plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The beautiful sunsets and rocket launch were an added bonus. We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Cove!

Weekend Recharge
Really enjoyed our stay--beautiful, clean, safe, quiet and cozy house. Favorite room was the dock! Enjoyed coffee in the morning and dinner and wine in the evening with great views and sunsets. Only complaint is that there were no fish biting or taking the bait. Could you stock the river prior to us arriving next time? LOL 😆

Memories
We can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing stay we had. It was absolutely beautiful. Plenty of room. Access to Walgreens- Walmart- restaurants- were less than 10 minutes. The pier was our favorite part :) We spent hours on hours especially with access to the kayak, canoe and pedal boat. Loved the fact that there were plenty of life jackets. Actually everything that we needed was at our disposal. We can’t wait to come back :)

We can’t wait to go back!
The property was absolutely perfect! There was 8 of us and we had plenty of room for everyone! Everything we needed was already there and available for us to use! The canoe and kayaks were a lot of fun! We even caught a couple fish from the dock! The sunsets were absolutely stunning right from the backyard! From booking to any questions we had Kathy was quick to respond! We can’t wait to go back and plan on it next summer-as soon as dates come available!

Nice properly
The house is truly amazing. The house has a lot of space and is located in a very nice neighborhood. I didn't like that there's was not enough towers. Also we were under the impression that we that each couple was going to get their own room and that was not the case. The backyard and back porch need some love and care. Mosquitoes and flies are definitely a problem. Overall we enjoyed the house.
