    The house is great, fully furnished/stocked and very pet friendly. We stayed there last year as well, and the dogs remembered the place and felt right at home! We love the fenced backyard with lots of grass, for peace of mind with the dogs, and love that it has a pool as well. Overall, very happy with the house and our stay. Will definitely be going back!

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Dapper Dolphin house. The house is very nice and has everything you need. The neighborhood is nice. We would definitely rent this house again. The hosts responded immediately to my questions. We enjoyed the pool and are grateful for the fenced in backyard for our dogs. We enjoyed playing games in the game room as well. We did get eaten up by mosquitoes every time we went outside. Make sure you bring bug spray. The front bedroom and the guest bathroom are only separated by a sliding door just for future renters.

    We enjoyed our stay in this house and the pool was an added plus! The house was very clean and comfortably fit the 8 people we had. The kitchen was well stocked, which we appreciated since we enjoy cooking our meals on our vacation. The location was close to the center of town and the beach. We reached out to the property management a few times with questions and they were very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again! The only improvements we would note is 1) the pool could use some more shade, but we just put up a shade canopy near the pool 2) the burners on the propane grill were pretty worn out and should probably be replaced.

    The Dapper Dolphin was a great place for my family and i to stay. We went for a much needed vacation and this place was the best place we could have stayed. When you have kids of all different ages sometimes its hard to please them all, however the Dapper Dolphin definitely delievered just what we needed. There is a game room and a pool so all of my kids were definitely satisfied. Having something they all could do made relaxing for my husband and i so much easier. I highly recommend this place for anyone but especially those with kids.
