A great time at the Dolphin House
by James Tanaka
We had another wonderful time at the Dolphin House. The house was chalk full of comforts and amenities The house has ample space for our party of four to stretch out and relax. Gulfport, the town, is as charming as ever with excellent restaurants. We will be back next year!
Loved Dolphin House
by Cliff Knapp
It couldn't have been better - we loved the house - spacious - clean - decorated gorgeous- beautiful colors - beds very comfortable - Kitchen had everything you could need, a great screened-in porch with lovely furniture - 2 rooms to enjoy any time of day - or just relax and play a card game- etc. Thank you so much
Great Location, Perfect set up
by Dan Wasson
We were in town to visit Tropicana Field. The house was the perfect location close to restaurants and Beach and a short uber to the stadium to see the game. House had a very spacious lay out was perfect for not feeling claustrophobic. The screened in porch was great for a bug free outdoor experience. Beth was over the top available for any questions and extremely helpful through the whole booking process. I would 100% book here again.
Wonderful Vacation Rental
by Mary Louise Beardsley
The Dolphin House is updated, comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. We especially liked the screened porch and attractive, private and fenced backyard for our small dog. We would definitely be happy to return for another stay.
Great place to stay!
by Jon Grant
Great place to stay, close to the center of Gulfport! Walking distance close. Easy to get an Uber if you want to hit St Pete’ s. The house was awesome, 3 separate bedrooms, 2 full baths, full kitchen, 2 separate sitting areas inside and out.
Dolphin House 3/25-3/29
by Chris Huber
Fantastic. Best house rental ever
Only issues- Could not get Master bedroom Tv on.
One of bicycles tires flat
Glad to know about the bike tire. They had not completed a bike waiver and did not have permission to use the bikes. They also never asked for help with the master bedroom TV. We would have tried to fix both issues had we known.
5th visit to this house
by Mark Stevens
We have returned for the 5th I really need to comment? 🙂

Back for the 4th time!
by Mark Stevens
We traveled with our dog for a return to Gulfport for holiday festivities.
We keep coming back to Dolphin House because we know it will be clean, neat, well stocked with kitchen amenities and very comfortable. It also is within walking distance of Beach Street, waterfront and the Veteran's Park. The small yard is great for our small dog, and the house is large enough that I could hold video meetings for work in the front and not disturb my wife in the living room.
We will return in the spring.

Great House, Better Location
by James Viale
If you need to find a house that has it all and allows pets this is it. Very clean and has a new mid modern vibe to it. A short walk to the shops, restaurants and beach that Gulfport has to offer. We would rent again so highly recommended
It’ s Got it All
by Christine Dye
I want to start out by saying that I have rented over 10 different homes using VRBO and this one is in my top three. The Dolphin House has everything you could possibly need for your stay, from the most obvious needs, to the more obscure yet thoughtful additions. It was super, super clean but not sterile. You immediately feel like you’ re in your own home. You take your shoes off and relax. You can also pack light because there’ s a full size washer and dryer. No fumbling with keys because the doors have a keypad lock system that worked EVERY time. Gulfport is a delightful artist community that is laidback and inclusive. We loved it! Also it’ s a simple 15 minute drive to St Pete Beach. Owner Beth Sexworth has unprecedented communication with you prior to your arrival and there’ s an interactive electronic concierge kiosk in the dining room that you use to check in and check out. I’ ve never seen anything like it! Amazing. No question that I would rent this particular property again and from Splashy Inc in general.
Dolphin House
by Kelli Howard
We really enjoyed our stay at the dolphin house. It was a great location for walking to restaurants and the beach.
Great place for people & dog
by Mark Stevens
The house is outfitted with anything needed and the small yard is great for the dog. It's location is within 2 minutes of all the fun of Gulfport. We will be back again ( 3rd visit to this house & our 4th Splashy Ventures)
Nice area

GREAT!
Dolphin House Vacation
by Dante Leone
We had a fantastic stay at the Dolphin House. The house was in a great location and had everything that we needed. Would definitely come back again!
Wonderful stay
by Deborah Cox
Wonderful place to stay. They truly have thought of everything to make your stay more comfortable. The home is very spacious, clean, and a short walking distant to downtown shops and the gulf water area. This is not ocean area just so you know there is a difference. The management company is wonderful to work with. We would definitely stay again.
Exactly as Described
by Debra Goins
We love visiting Gulfport, FL and we love this rental. The description and pictures are on point! The location is literally one block from “ downtown” Gulfport and the Gulfport Beach is about a block and a half away. It’ s an inlet beach with very small wave action which makes it perfect for our granddaughter, age 2, who was traveling with us. Take time to walk the beach and sit behind the recreation building & skate park if you want to see dolphins and manatees in the bay. And for those of you who are still playing Pokémon Go, this is a hot spot for poke stops! A short drive to many other beaches directly on the gulf. We found those to be more touristy. This location is perfect and there is plenty of beach gear at the house including a wagon to pack for a day in the sun and sand.
This house is designed as two living spaces with the kitchen connecting them. While baby was sleeping in the front of the house, grown ups could visit in the back of the house without worry of waking her. Same was true in the morning, grandma and grandpa slept in the back bedroom and didn’ t even realize baby and her dad were awake.
We definitely plan to stay here for future family vacations.
Shout out to Beth and her team for recommending Pack Less, Play More for baby gear rental. We rented a crib, high chair and stroller. Made life so much easier.
Stay here to recharge and relax. Slow paced town with plenty of restaurants, coffee houses and souvenir shopping. There were two bikes available for us to use but we didn’ t have time. We were too busy relaxing and enjoying the perfect weather of April in Florida.
We highly recommend going to the St Pete Farmers Market in Saturday morning and the Gulfport farmers market on Tuesday mornings.
A Great Home, a Great Time, in a Great Neighborhood
by Philip Supple
So close to the "happenin'" Waterfront District, you can smell the shrimp a boilin' and hear the music drifting out from the bayside restaurants. My wife and our labrador had a wonderful time exploring the neat shoppes and bistros along the way. The house (with a fenced in backyard) was just perfect for our pup. It is also very clean, with all the amenities you need for outdoors - bikes, grills, patio furniture, screen-in back porch - and indoors - multiple 4K TV's, King bed, small library.
Beth and her crew at Splashy Ventures were very helpful in getting us up-to-speed. (The electronic concierge directed us to all the home's amenities and area attractions with a touch of the screen!)
Would gladly return to this vacation getaway and certainly recommend to a friend.

Dolphin House is Wonderful
by Jan Cooper
We love staying at Dolphin House! It’ s a lovely, spacious home with a wonderful screened porch and fenced back yard! The kitchen is really well stocked with everything you need! It’ s in the perfect location..... we walk to all of the restaurants, shops, and waterfront bars to watch the sunset. We can’ t wait to stay here again next year!

Great Place!
by Ryan Hairston
This house is actually better than advertised! Very well decorated with all the amenities of a five star hotel. The in-home concierge-kiosk was a nice touch. Property description is accurate regarding the location and layout etc. Property was clean and well-maintained. Totally would stay again.

Beautiful place!
by Mark Stevens
This house exceeded expectations. we came dogs and they enjoyed the yard and the house was dog-friendly. The kitchen has ever toy you need and better quality on some things than we use at home. ( I have to get new pans now). beds are comfortable, AC great, washer/dryer great and location perfect for walking to town or pier & park.
Thank you Mark.
Strobel Family Vacation 2021
by Theresa Strobel
The best. Love the house. Everything was perfect but the ac. Beth went above and beyond to keep us comfortable with the ac problems. Beth is the best.
Great Place!
by Jake Vogel
We really enjoyed the house and it was nicer than then the pictures showed. Everything was within a short drive including grocery’ s, restaurants and a neat town of Gulfport. A couple minor things. We were a bit under the impression there was a swimming beach within walking distance, that is not the case. There is a cool little walking area but if you intend to walk to a swimming beach it isn’ t right there. Nothing to do with the property but traffic is so slow there :). We would 100% stay in this exact same house.
Great Dolphin House Experience!
by Kimberly Coppage
Clean, comfortable, quiet and within easy walking distance to the town and the beach were the main highlights of our stay at this great vacation rental.
Relaxing respite in Dolphin House!
by Patricia Proctor
Two couples shared this house for two weeks in wonderful Gulfport. This house is very well located -- close to everything yet very quiet. It is a lovely home. It has a split floor plan that allows some privacy, which is a nice thing. It is comfortably furnished and very pretty. The kitchen is very attractive, well-appointed, and has everything needed to cook meals, and there is a nice gas grill outside as well. We had all of our meals outside at the table provided there, and really enjoyed that. There is a nice library of books to read, televisions with Roku provided, and really every convenience for a vacation. I highly recommend Dolphin House this is the second time we have rented it, and we are likely to do so again. Beth, the property manager, is very nice to work with as well. And Gulfport is a fabulous town with great restaurants, a pretty beach, and a nice arts scene.

A true charmer

A well maintained ,clean and beautifully decorated home. Walking distance to city beach, shopping , restaurant and nightlife.
All our needs were met . Will definitely return
Lovely and clean home in great location
by Dawn Kwiatkowski
Our stay (family of 4) at the Dolphin House was wonderful. The house was very clean and laid out well. Walking in the front of the home, you enter a nice living room and to the right is a small hallway with linen closet (well stocked with extra linens and quilt). Off this hallway was 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. All nice sized and ample lighting/storage. Back thru the first living room is the walk thru kitchen (recently updated nicely) with everything you could need, ample counter space and multiple coffee makers. Then you walk into a dining and living room combination that was very comfortable. To the right was a small hallway with large master bedroom, bathroom and separate room for laundry and cleaning tools. We appreciated the collapsible wagon for the beach. The outdoor space was beautiful and very private. Completely fenced in for our dogs. Dolphin House was all one level and in great condition. We’ ve rented many homes in the past and this was the cleanest and best layout. We also appreciated the easy walk into the cute downtown, only a couple of blocks away. We discovered Tutto Bene down the street and only a 1 minute walk. It was the BEST Italian restaurant outside of Italy (and we lived in Italy twice)! We ate there 4 nights out of our 4 night stay. It was reasonably priced and absolutely delish with a large outdoor space and great ambiance and service. The Tuesday morning art market in town was lovely too. We bought some handmade jewelry and tea. It was an easy drive to St Pete’ s downtown and beach area, but there was also a cute little beach a few blocks away from the house. We also loved that restaurants/park in Gulfport were dog friendly. Completely enjoyed our stay at Dolphin House and will definitely stay there again if/when we visit Gulfport. Also, Beth with Splashy was great to work with. Thank you!

Great Vacation
by Marc Cloutier
Dolphin House was even better than described. It is located one block-off Beach Blvd and all that Gulfport has to offer.
Beds and furnishing are comfortable and the fenced backyard was inviting and relaxing.
The home was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We have already booked another stay!
Thanks so much Marc and you are welcome back anytime!

Highly Recommend Dolphin House
by Sarah Frazer
We loved our stay at the Dolphin house. The house was perfect for our group of two couples + two toddlers. It was clean, beautiful, and looked as described. Beth and Splashy Ventures were so helpful in making the arrangements to easy. They helped us figure out renting kid equipment, bikes, finding good local spots to eat and visit. Gulfport is a cute, quiet beach side town, with easy access to other areas and beaches, or plenty to entertain you in Gulfport for a relaxing few days.
Thank you so much.

Relaxing, perfect Dolphin House!
by Patricia Proctor
Our vacation rental was excellent from beginning to end! Splashy Ventures made everything easy and Beth, the agent for Gulfport, was very accessible and very helpful. We loved the house--it worked exceptionally well for two couples, as it has two fully functioning living spaces connected by a kitchen. It is airy, perfectly furnished and clean and very pretty. A nice place to be! Location is excellent--a block from Beach Boulevard and the waterfront, but somehow still very quiet. IT also has a lovely backyard area and a covered back porch where it is delightful to sit and read or relax. I highly recommend this property!

We loved dolphin house ! From the location, to the house, it’ s clean, tasteful furnished, convenient, and spacious. It has everything you need in the kitchen, clearly labeled. I can say I am stealing ideas from what I see here for my own house ! It is clearly well maintained and that the host makes a special effort to make us guests feel at home ! Highly recommended.

Great location and accomodations
by Bob Citkowski
When you walk in the front door you just feel at home. The decor and bright interior welcomes you to relax. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you might need if you chose to need it. Nice dining area and two seating areas gave you separation if you need it. A great backyard with subtle night lighting along with a grill and plenty of seating to relax and eat outside if you choose. The yard is completely fenced to keep your dog safe if you have one with you. Gulfport is very dog friendly as are the people you’ ll meet. You’ re about a block from the water, restaurants, bars, shops, and beach. Lots to do right there as well as just a short drive to the gulf beaches, museums. downtown St. Petersburg, and the airports. A great location and a roomy home to stay in.

Fantastic Gulfport Stay
by Diane Danes
We absolutely loved the Dolphin House, it was perfect for us. Wonderful outdoor and indoor living spaces, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great bathrooms. Very uplifting colors and lots of light. Positive vibes, bicycles and coolers were a bonus since the beach is a must. Fantastic walking distance to town. Great stay.
Dolphin House is a gem
by James Tanaka
Perfect house in a perfect location. Walking distance to some of the best restaurants in the St. Pete's area. Clean, comfortable house with all the amenities that you could want.
We will see you in 2020!
Wonderful
by John Glover
Beautiful house in a perfect location. We loved Dolphin House. It was very comfortable for 3 couples and waling distance to the water and all the great restaurants in Gulfport. Only 10 minutes to downtown St Pete. Host was very nice and communicative. Will be back next year.
Thanks for coming back in 2019. I hope the book fair went well.
Great little house offering big pleasures
by Donna Bender
This house is well located and ideal for entertaining as it has a distinct front and back space
Great weekend away in paradise!
by Stephanie Osborn
We had a fabulous weekend at the Dolphin House this weekend with my sister and brother in law. The house was beautifully decorated, well stocked and comfortable. We loved sitting outside in the landscaped yard with festive lights, very relaxing. The house is well situated only a block from the shops and restaurants and a short drive to St Pete and the beaches. We especially liked our beach day at Ft Desota State Park, gorgeous water! Gulfport has a Key West vibe from forty years ago- eclectic, chill and the people are wonderful. We will be back...
Thank you ladies!

Yes, see you guys next year!

We were so impressed with the house. It was spotless and very visitor friendly. There wete e en fresh flowers waiting for us. This was our first visit to Gulfport so we were pleased to find we were walking distance from the bay and so many awesome restaurants and nightlife. The landscaping in great in the back as well.
We were a short drive from the beach, the mall, Walmart and the best dog beach park I've ever been to! No surprises with our rental, easy in and out. Highly recommended!
We are happy that you enjoyed your stay!

Perfect Home and an Awesome Location
by Gillian Anderson
We have spent the last two 4th of July holidays in this home. I am not sure we will be making the drive from Richmond next year, so I am here to tell you to SNATCH THIS HOUSE UP. The town and the fireworks alone make it a steal. Each year, we walk 2 blocks to the waterfront about 10 minutes before the show and are treated to a great show and simply walk back after. Beyond that, the house is adorable, the town is fun, and there are multiple beaches a short easy drive away. The property managers are super friendly and helpful too!
Richmond is a bit of a trek, but hopefully you will return one day!
Absolutely Wonderful Stay
by Darius Lawson
Let me start by saying that this house is in a perfect location walking distance (couple blocks) from entertainment (O'Maddy's) and shopping. The house has EVERYTHING you would need to have in order to be comfortable. The kitchen is stocked and the beds (my pet peeve) were great. They even provided nice, thick towels not the cheesy ones a lot of properties provide. It was extremely clean and my wife and I are already discussing planning another visit. Thank you for thinking of the little things that made my family and I have a great getaway.
Thank you so much!
Another wonderful visit at the Dolphin House
by James Tanaka
This is our fourth year at the Dolphin House. As always, everything was perfect. Just as advertised, the house was immaculate upon arrival and there were nice upgrades to the living and bedrooms. The best restaurants and shops in the area are literally a stone's throw from the house. We'll be back for sure.
Actually it was your 6th year!

FABULOUS RENTAL!!!
by Sandra Bernard
This rental property was beautiful!!! Extremely clean, kitchen fully stocked with everything you need (and more) to cook! The open floor plan was set up perfectly for relaxing, entertaining and vacationing. 2 bedrooms and living room in the front of the house and 1 bedroom and open concept living/dining area in the back. 2 bathrooms - I loved that the 2nd bathroom wasn't part of the back bedroom (altho it was right next to it) so it was always available for use. We had 6 adults + addl guests some nights and we were VERY comfie! Property Mgrs were very accommodating with top quality blow up beds for our guests that decided to stay overnight. It was 3 blocks from excellent restaurants, bars (with great bands) and shops so there was no need to drive! I live in town but staycationed with my out of state friends as we celebrated all of our 50th Bdays - we had a ball!
You guys were a great group - thank you!

Dolphin House Stay

The house was even better than expected. Very close to water and shops/restaurants. Very clean and maintained. Ample parking and great landscaping. They thought of everything when it comes to the comforts of home. Nicely loaded kitchen, comfy beds/couches, lots of dinning seating and outside sitting. Great property
Thank you so much!
Like Home Away from Home
by Wendy Prather
Everything was perfect for our 3 day stay. The home was fully furnished and equipped with everything we would need. The decor was tasteful and charming and the location for dining was superb. Check in was a breeze as well as check out. Responsive to any questions or concerns. Will definitely consider again!
We're so pleased to hear it! Thank you so much.
Everything was just right!
by Gillian Anderson
The house is adorable and in a PRIME location. Gulfport is charming and the people so nice. All of the beaches are just minutes away, so we went to St. Pete, Madeira, and Pass-a-Grille--each different, but still awesome. Day trip to Sarasota and a Rays game at night. Finally, St. Petersburg is really fun and hip and urban! Lots of good food and breweries! It was a pleasant surprise.
The central location is one of the amazing things about Gulfport. Dining, beaches, shopping and sports!
Return Visit Just as Amazing
by Susan Morley
This is our 2nd visit to this great property. It's roomy, neat, has everything we needed and more. We pulled the shades during the day and boy, when we got home the temperature was PERFECT and just dark enough for a good afternoon nap! We will be back!
She also had a brand new central heat and AC this time around! Woo hoo!
Great rental
by Susan Larson
Dolphin cottage was a perfect rental for my boyfriend, my daughter, her husband and myself while we were in the area for my son's wedding last weekend.The cottage was clean, comfortable, and roomy. We were only one block from the fun waterfront area of Gulfport with its wonderful restaurants and artsy shops. I definitely recommend Dolphin Cottage and would love to stay here again on my next trip. I also recommend dining at Isabellas and Pia's Trattoria.
We love Pia's too. Too much!!!
A family weekend getaway
by Jessica Lavoie
The perfect location for our family of 6 to gather to celebrate my sisters wedding. The property is very well kept and had everything that we needed and more. Management was very helpful and accommodating. The location is convenient to everything and just a quick walk to some great bars, restaurants and coffee shops. We hope to visit again!
Thank you so much!
Exactly like the pictures
by Dj Williams
The pictures on line were real and did not over state the home! Very clean, spacious and in a GREAT location. We had a group of 4 and the separate locations of bedrooms and bathrooms worked out well! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home!
You are welcome!
Gulfport Gem
by Melissa VandeWiel
We spent 4 nights over Easter in this precious home. The rental was immaculate and so conveniently located. We were a short walk to 2 parks, a beach, and multiple shops and restaurants. Gulfport is a charming town! During our stay, there was an Easter egg hunt on the waterfront for children, a spring festival, sunrise Easter service on the beach, and an art walk. We enjoyed a visit to nearby Weedon Island and Fort DeSoto park. Such great memories from our trip!
Gulfport is a wonderful place for activities and events! And lots of unique events that you won't find elsewhere.
Lovely House:Great Location
by Ann Mahoney
We stayed in the Dolphin House for a month and enjoyed every single day. The house is spacious, comfortable and very well stocked with china, linens, etc. It is also immaculate with upscale furniture- pets are allowed, but you would never know any had been in the house. The location is wonderful- an easy walk to the waterfront and all of the fabulous restaurants in Gulfport. My highest praise goes to Beth, property manager. She responds quickly to questions and if there are any issues ( I left some clothes in the closet on departure day) she readily facilitates a resolution. This property is an outstanding rental in the heart of a fun, cozy community.
Thank you so much Ann!
Excellent Location
by Donald Pugliese
The Dolphin House is ideally situated 2 blocks from the beach and main action of pubs and shops. The house is just like the pictures. Beautiful side and backyard, filled with Palm tress and other trees. Very private indeed. The house itself is very spacious, neat and clean. You don't need to buy anything for cooking, it's all there.
Beth was excellent. I talked to her on the phone and communicated by e-mails and Beth is very responsive.
I certainly recommend The Dolphin House as we would certainly book it again..... and we had excellent weather 🙂
Thank you Don. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay on hopefully your first of many winter vacations to come! Beth

We love Dolphin House in Gulfport, Florida
by Joseph Keyerleber
We've stayed at this house five times over recent years. It is so pleasant, comfortable, roomy and well-located near restaurants and the beach at Boca Ciega Bay. Owner-manager Beth deserves great credit for designing and maintaining this and her other properties. They are not fussy or pretentious--just done with great style and attention to detail, such as: lighting, HD cable tv package, decor, comfortable furniture and landscaping. And--Dolphin House is pet friendly, with a lovely enclosed yard and patio, perfect for our golden retriever. The split design means that you can have friends or relatives stay with you, with their own bedrooms (2), bathroom and living room, with the kitchen and dining area in between the two split areas.
Thank you Joe and Jody!
Canadian visitiors
by James Tanaka
We enjoyed another delightful stay at the Dolphin House. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the upgrades to the house. The charming house, literally a block away from some of the best restaurants in the St. Pete's area, was even brighter, more inviting and comfortable this year than last.
Thank you Jim! We look forward to hosting you again in 2016!
Can't wait to book again!
by Elisa Varella
My friends and I came from Philadelphia, PA. for a friends wedding that was held at St. Pete's Beach (only 15-20 min drive). When we first arrived, we were very pleased with the home. It was perfect for the six of us (all couples). Just a block or two away there are several restaurants, If you love seafood I recommend going to Maddies. Their food is AMAZING!
We only had one slight issue (that was caused by the previous tenant) with maintenance but, Beth was right on it and accommodated our needs and the issue was fixed within a reasonable timeframe. We all said we'd love to come back some time and stay here again.
Hi Elisa, I'm so glad that Dolphin House worked well for you and we do hope you return!

Winter Escape
by John Zenobi Jr
The Dolphin House was wonderful and just as described. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation home to accommodate two families traveling together. We each had our own space as well as a shared space for cooking and eating.Everything we needed was so easy to find as the kitchen was so well organized with labels in all the cupboards and drawers as to their contents. Gulfport is such an artsy and eclectic town and we were within walking distance to everything. We were also an easy drive to Clearwater, Tarpon Springs and other tourist locations. We highly recommend the Dolphin House to anyone wanting a great vacation home.
Thank you Barb and John. We love the location too. Beth

Delightful Stay in Gulfport, Florida
by Joseph Keyerleber
This was our third visit to Dolphin House in Gulfport, FL. We love Gulfport and we love Dolphin House. Gulfport is like old-time Florida, quiet and peaceful, easy to park and drive, good restaurants, art walks, and right on Boca Ciega Bay. Dolphin House is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, including three flat-screen TVs and wi-fi.
Most of all, it is dog-friendly, with a charming fenced-in backyard and patio. The owner continuously makes improvements and upgrades to the property. It is only a short walk to the beach and to the nice restaurants. We will definitely be back again.(The only suggestion I would have is that the larger sofa in the main living room seems to be getting uncomfortable, without enough back support.) Otherwise, everything else is just great!
Thank you Joe, Jodi and Junior!

Perfect Getaway!

This house has plenty of room for up to 8 people and is larger than it may seem. It is stocked and furnished as described, and the outdoor/patio setting is very pleasant. It is in a great location for walking into the little town of Gulfport, which we loved, as well as being easy driving distance of St. Petersburg Beach, downtown St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. The surrounding neighborhood is very modest, but safe.

There's no place like home
by Dennis Cassidy
We were satisfied when we walked in the door exceptionally clean with no fear
Of bed bugs. Fit all our needs with a great restaurant and bar a block away not
To mention the beach. Close to all desires or needs. Beth handled all our questions and concerns promptly and to our satisfaction. Just a pleasant experience well worth the cost

DOLPHIN HOUSE REVIEW
by Linda Hollyman
Had a great stay in Gulf Port. Dophin House was a lovely property with lots of space. Deceiving from the outside but very spacious on the inside.
All equipment in the house worked and was very easy to operate.
One issue with a few insects but I think expected in this climate. Bug sprays were available in the house so were used.
Location was good but as with most places in Florida a car is needed to get around.
Would recommend this location for a quiet and relaxing holiday.
Great House
by Randy Schnurbusch
Nice house. All new appliances inside, tile floors, spacious family room and master bedroom. Nice covered patio with large gas grill. Paver walkway around back and side of house with lighted landscape and six foot privacy fence. House is very pet friendly.
Wedding Weekend!
by Kevin Stewart
We had a wonderful time and everything could not have gone better! The house was perfect, spacious for our family stay and to prep for a wedding on the beach. We also loved the court yard in the back
Great location, friendly people
by James Tanaka
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dolphin House. The house was clean and comfortable with good wireless. A half block walk to great pubs and restaurants. Downtown Gulfport is hopping with funky art, music and friendly folks.
Home away from home
by Beverly Cordova
Dolphin house was comfy and room to stretch and relax. Had a great time and the restaurants, especially O'Maddys were close by. A great time.
Perfect retreat for all ages
by Ruth Stevens
This was the ideal place for our family which ranges in age from 7 months to 90 years. The house is divided in such a way that we could used one half for little ones and the other half for those who preferred quiet. Gulfport is a quaint village that lends itself to rest and easy access to fishing, eating, hanging out, partying, walking and jogging. We would definitely consider returning.
Three happy travelers
by Mary Frantz
We were three single women. The house is roomy with a sitting area and two bedrooms & bath in the front and then after the kitchen/dining area, a larger family room, master bath and laundry. Back porch is nice. The front bathroom could be updated, but its acceptable.
Gulfport is a cute little town with one street of shops and restaurants ending at the bay. Good restaurants, easy walking around, close to St. Petersburg and other interesting places. All in all a wonderful week.
Great home & location
by Carol Breen
Great new improvements to kitchen and largest bedroom. Easily can sleep six with plenty of area for private space. Also very pleasant for 3 or 4 people. Brand new refrigerator with lots of room.
Sailing vacation

This was a great location for our sailing regatta held at St Pete sailing center.
Charmed in Gulfport
by Mary Malen
We just returned to snowy PA after a wonderful 28 day stay at the Dolphin House in Gulfport. The place was very clean, surprisingly large and well laid out, had a kitchen with everything you could possibly need (with all the good restaurants in Gulfport, I only cooked 6 times), and beautiful landscaping. It was the perfect place to have guests as there are two living areas and three flat screen tvs. It is a block away from all the action, but the street is very quiet. The management (Beth) was extremely helpful. Any problem was dealt with immediately (ex: plumber). The only negative things were a dog odor on the sofa and the neighboring houses are fairly rundown. The Dolphin House is the most charming on the street. We loved our stay and we loved Gulfport!
