Pros and cons
Pros: great location, a couple blocks to the beach. The backyard is well landscaped, with a nice pool. Plenty of parking. It can sleep a lot of people - 17 comfortably- but there are only 3 rooms with closed-door privacy, if you're looking for that. There are two kitchens and an outside toilet, sink and shower. There are a lot of tvs, if you're looking for that. The espresso machines were fantastic! Beautifully decorated. The property manager, Jose, was very responsive and went above and beyond to get us a new highchair. I'm confident he'll be attentive to the issues. Cons: Some aspects of the place were a bit "tired" like the patio furniture, the couches and cabinets downstairs. It wasn't very well equipped- no dish towels, dishcloths, kleenex or paper towels. No beach towels or beach chairs, bring your own. Many outlets upstairs didn't work, and there was a playstation without a cord. Overall, we were glad we stayed and had a great time.

First time SPI
This home is beautiful and was perfect for our group of 12 adults and 1 1yo!! Location was so perfect, right by a grocery store where you could get almost anything you needed! Pool and outside space was so so nice. Jose was a fantastic host, always responsive and so friendly and helpful!! Thankyou so much Jose!!!!

Great place
We had a great time! There 11 of us 7 sisters/brother/ and 2 friends. Plenty of room every where. We used the upstairs kitchen for all meals. The bottom kitchen we used for cocktails and munchies. A quick walk to the beach. Store-3 houses away, liquor store-across from the grocery store. We had trouble starting a few things(music, some lights) but jose(mgr) was prompt and very attentive. We will definitely be back! Thanks again for a great trip! Now back to Wisconsin for 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow!

Perfect Location of Home!
Loved the location of this home as it is centralized to everything especially the grocery store and lots of eateries! I’ve rented a bunch of VRBO’s and this place had the best pool area with lots of sitting for everyone and loved having two kitchens available for my large group of 12. I would like to see more towels, pot holders (only 1 for two kitchens) dish towels (only 1 for two kitchens). Bathrooms were incorrectly advertised on the VRBO front page, but Host said he would make it right with me and hopefully I will see a 1 night stay refund soon. The only other suggestion would be is to add non-skid on the outside steps to the upper level ….when they are wet they are slick!

Perfect location and very friendly property manager
This house is located within a block from the island supermarket in one direction and a block from the beach in the other direction - perfect location! Nice house, looked exactly like the pictures with all the staged decorations. The upstairs was very nice, just didn’t realize the two upstairs bedrooms were totally open concept but it worked. The pool and backyard was the attraction for everyone. The house could use a little upkeep and if that happens I would give it 100.

Couldn’t have picked a better place!
We spent a long weekend celebrating my 40th Birthday with family and friends here. We had the absolute best time ever! I think we spent more time at the house than anywhere else on the island lol. The pool area was the best, we barbecued, made oven baked pizzas, karaoke’d and just hung out by the pool day and night. The property manager, Jose, was so incredibly nice and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Birthday Getaway
We had the time of our lives. The house was just as expected. Our group of 10 had more than enough space. The grocery store, liquor store, and beach are all walking distance (as were restaurants). We rented golf carts to get around the island which was also walking distance away. The pool swan was a great addition. I would definitely recommend you staying here if you have a large group and don't want to have to sleep in bunk beds. Plus the host was very nice and professional. The only thing I would have liked would have been a little welcome to The Dolphin House note that explained how to work the music by the pool, that the thermostat upstairs controls both houses, and any other small details that would help keep the guest from having to reach out to the host during their stay. Also, the code to open the door should be given upon arrival. I have to text and ask for it. No biggies. Just little things that could make things even smoother.
