The Dolphins Beach Cottage was the perfect spot for our group of six this weekend. We loved the excellent view and being right on the beach. It was very clean and the owner had all the info you needed for your stay organized in a binder. Our four teens liked the upstairs loft area and we enjoyed one of the back bedrooms. The spacious kitchen and living area were great. Small extras added to the stay like the available beach chairs and toys, grill, extra toiletries, and the DVD and book collection. When we weren’t in the water we loved hanging out on the large covered front porch area for meals or soaking in the view. We would highly recommend Dolphins and hope to make it a yearly vacation spot for our family!

Dolphins Beach Cottage has earned the rare Blender Bonus Award from my family, meaning that a blender was included without having to request it. And, for the first time in our experience, there was even a slow-cooker, outdoor cooking utensils, potato masher, salt and pepper, and cooking oil along with what I would expect and everything else I could think of. The included items were, by far, beyond those we’ve experienced elsewhere during our travels at extended stay and time-share locations. The thoughtfulness extends throughout the cottage that came stocked with games, movies, beach chairs, sand toys, folding TV tray tables, telescope, and a charcoal (you bring the briquettes and lighter) grill. The grill is near the downstairs foot wash and picnic table, and the deck/porch upstairs contains additional chairs with a side table and bench seating. We spent the majority of the time enjoying the sea breeze and views of the surf from the deck/porch with morning coffee, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails then nightcap. While adventure was certainly an option, we chose to relax with an occasional beach walk. We are not bird watchers but enjoyed watching different birds on the shore and the many brown pelicans dive for fish. Having everything we could possibly want already there really allowed us to de-stress more thoroughly than we ever have before. It was truly a revelation. We will be back.

Our family spent 4 days at surfside in this charming house, the grand kids loved the spiral staircase; there are two bath rooms down stairs with the sinks outside the bathtub/toilet area which made it nice for every one getting ready for bed. two down stair bed rooms queen size beds and loft with 4 single beds with one side you can close off which was nice for the kids going to bed early. The home owner had all things ready for us even flowers, They even let us check in early which was such a blessing when you have young children, there was even soap trash bags and many more little things you dont get at a big service. There was even enough seating in the living room looking out to the water loved it, we did some sea shell painting on the nice deck there, had easy access to beach also and its located far enough down from town where the beach is wider and we liked that having small children getting the cars going behind us on the beach, We will go back .

You couldn’t ask for a more perfect location or house. From the large windows that give an unobstructed view of the beach, to the covered porch for a morning cup of coffee or a late night glass of wine, to the loft that became 3 teenage girls private oasis, everything was perfect.

The house was cute and clean with all the amenities that a family would need. We had 7 adults, including 3 teenage girls, and there was more than enough room for all of us. The girls loved being able to walk right out to the beach to spend the day or at night to go crab hunting.

We will definitely look into using this house again.

Our family stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time. We slept 8 and everyone had a great night sleep. The upstairs loft,that closed off, allowed us to have an early bedtime for younger children. We enjoyed being able to sit on the couch and watch the waves. Easy access to the beach made it seem like our own private area. Jetty Park, located a few miles away gave us a nice change as we walked down the jetty and played at the playground. Nice hot showers, towels and an equipped kitchen made our stay very comfortable. There was ample living and dining space for our family gathering. The house was nicely decorated and provided a great get away.
