Apollo Beach, Florida
Make unforgettable memories with your family and friends while staying at The Gray Dolphin at Casa de Kingston.
Located on the Kingston Canal in the heart of Apollo Beach. This house is purely an oasis. Enjoy the amenities of docking a boat in our slip with canal access if you want to bring your boat or rent one during your stay, a private lanai with a heated salt-water swimming pool, a gas grill, two kayaks, bikes, and perfect location near Tampa Bay's best fishing spots and attractions like Beer Can Island, Anna Maria Island, Busch Gardens, Islands of Adventure, St. Petersburg, Amaile Arena, and so much more!
This is a lovely house with great common space for watching TV or playing board games. The pool area provides lots of area for lounging while watching the kids in the pool. The pool was comfortably heated which allowed for enjoying swimming even when it wasn’t particularly warm outside. The house was also nicely supplied with essential paper goods for our time there, which was very convenient.
Had a wonderful stay with family of 12 (grandparents, kids, grandkids). Pool area is perfect and pool is heated well enough to swim in even in the cooler than normal weather. Kitchen has everything we needed and beds were very comfortable. Finshing was suprisingly great from the dock, caught everything from catfish to crab, even a stingray. Manatee viewing center is a must-see nearby attraction. Great communication from the hosts. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed for the week. The best part was the outdoor space! The kids loved the pool and fishing off the dock. There was a lot of seating on the lanai. We spent a lot of our time outside relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Florida sunshine. Owner was super responsive anytime we had a question.
Property looks exactly like the photos. Clean and well stocked. The pool area is fantastic and we had a blast with the kayaks. Manatees came right up to us. Owners were very nice and prompt with all responses. The only thing I would say is it is a bit tight for 8 adults as the one bedroom is pretty small. Overall a great place and I would definitely recommend.
Good property as far as number of beds and kitchen well stocked and wash/dryer a big plus! However, the pool, tiki bar, covered eating area, ceiling fan in outdoor TV area, dock, kayaks, grill and pool floats/toys…fabulous!
I had a fantastic stay at this VRBO rental. The pool area was a highlight – clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxation. The modern kitchen was well-equipped and made cooking enjoyable. The overall cleanliness of the property was impressive. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway. Well-maintained pool area. Modern and well-equipped kitchen. Impressive cleanliness.
Overall the property was great and in a good location. I had great communication with the owner and they checked in with me almost everyday. Overall the accommodations were great but we did have a few issues. First issue was that the post of 3 bedroom/ 3 bath was false. The property was 3 bed/ 2 bath and when we confronted the owner about the lack of another bathroom they refunded us $100 for the inconvenience. Next, we had issues with the cleanliness of the property. Ceiling fans were packed with dust, the pool was dirty, grill was dirty, and under sofa was riddled with left over dirt and food particles. We attempted to use the grill and upon opening the grill there was a strong gas smell. We inspected the tank only to find that it was left on and the gas was empty. I had to replace the gas tank and was told by the owner I would be refunded but it has been almost a month since our stay and have not seen a refund yet. Last issue we had was with the master bedroom ceiling fan it was rocking uncontrollably. I inspected the ceiling and when I touched one of the blades it was loose making the fan unbalanced. With the little bit of tools I found in the garage I was able to tighten the screws and get the fan working properly. Although we had these issues with the property we overall enjoyed ourselves. House is beautiful and in a great location. Pretty good fishing off the back deck, I caught plenty of catfish.
Great time at Apollo Beach Home. Quiet and Peaceful, nice pool. Owner was very kind and quick to respond to any questions. Home very cozy. Awesome Tub!
Our stay at the gray dolphin was phenomenal! The home really does have everything that you need and the beds are absolute heaven! We enjoyed the heated pool and kayaking on the canal. The owners were very responsive when I had questions. Would highly recommend this property!
This house was perfect for our group. The kids loved the pool. The house was supplied with anything you would need. Great communication with the owner. Highly recommend this rental.
I rented this house so my Aunt and Uncle could fly down and surprise my dad for his birthday and allow for a nice spot for the whole family to meet up. The home was inviting, the mattresses were comfortable, the location was quiet, and the vibe was chill. Really enjoyed being able to sit by the water, lounge in the pool, and hang by the tiki bar. The owners reached out to check in and ensure we were enjoying our stay and we’re easy to contact both during and prior to stay with any questions I had. Great trip. The only disappointment is that I did not see any dolphins. Maybe next time:)
Thank you for letting us use your pool, sleep in your beds and let us stay in your home. Your pool is amazing and fun; your beds are comfy! Is there any house as amazing as yours? We went to Busch Gardens, the manatee center. Sunset bar & grill, the beach, Finns. It's amazing in Florida. I do not want to go back to Pennsylvania today. Thanks again for letting us use your house -
Very relaxing place. Quite neighborhood.
In spite of a major hurricane two weeks prior to our stay, this property was clean and ready for our group of six. The only reminder of the storm was the lack of a pool screen but that didn't stop us from enjoying the great back patio, tiki bar, and dock area. The neighborhood had fun Halloween decorations so we enjoyed walking and riding the provided bikes. Apollo Beach does not allow swimming so we traveled to Anna Maria and Clearwater to find the best beaches. We did not have a boat but used the two kayaks provided to explore the many inlets of the area. Nearby seafood restaurants, convenient shopping, the Tampa Aquarium and miniature golf kept us fed and entertained. The house has a great kitchen/living area with a super cool master bedroom/bathroom and three additional nicely decorated bedrooms. There are two nice indoor bathrooms and an outside shower. A pool heater was being installed the week we were there and will make the experience even nicer.
