This is a beautiful property. Completely modern with every amenity available. Communication with the host was perfect. The apartment had everything you would need for an extended stay including all linens. The host gave us access to their pool and fire pit and bicycles. The view from our balcony was amazing. We got to see the dolphins from the balcony. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Wolfgang and Mikki for a great stay. You are awesome! My wife is a retired teacher and she gives you an A

The property is in top condition, kitchen is superb and overall exquisitely decorated! Mattress was great! The location looking out over Dolphin bay is excellent. The neighborhood was safe for walking and with very little traffic.The drive to old St Augustine was just a few minutes and if we weren't so senior, I would have been an easy walk. Definitely recommend!

What a wonderful find. We really enjoyed our stay at the Dolphin Bay house. It was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. It was clean, generously sized, sweeping views of the bay with modern elements and a European feel. Amenities were plentiful. It is conveniently located within walking distance to all the downtown sites, plus a short drive to beaches in both directions. Hosts were superb—made sure we were taken care of during our visit—truly a 5-star standout experience and we highly recommend!

This property was amazing. It was super clean, modern, well equipped and in a perfect location to downtown St. Augustine. The property owner was exceptional and so kind. It was neat to see the numerous dolphins and one leaped out of the water close to us as if to say hello. I highly recommend this rental.
