We’d love the house, the pool was the frosting on the cake. Everything we needed was available. And after several communications with Megan, she was prompt to reply and saw that our needs were met. Would’ve gone back next year if it wasn’t booked already.

Amazing vacation home

Our stay was amazing. We go to the keys every summer but this by far was the best stay. The house was perfect for our family. The pool was amazing and the water view and dock were perfect for our boat and getting out to the water quickly for fishing. Definitely recommend

Wonderful Stay!!

We stayed for 9 days in Dolphin retreat. The house was setup as pictured, plenty of space, big kitchen and outdoor hangout area with pool is so ideal for after a day on the boat. We were in contact with Property Manager, Meghan, her response time was very efficient and helpful. The house has everything you need; from pots and pans, to extra towels for bathrooms and pool. Access off canal to the Bay side, was convenient and quick for boating. We highly recommend this house!! Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful Vacation

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Dolphin Retreat and it was truly a delightful experience. The house lived up to its advertisement, especially for us as avid cooks, with its well-equipped kitchen. The highlight was definitely the beautiful and inviting pool, which was wonderfully warm. Additionally, the host's responsiveness added to the overall outstanding experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a lovely getaway.

Christmas stay

The place and pictures are accurate and the place was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. We had an infant and they had a pack-n-play wish we knew about because we brought one. Location was great we drove to Key West one day and it was an hour and easy drive. The pool we had heated and it was well worth it and a great pool with a nice back yard area to relax. I would recommend and would def stay again in the future.
