Family Getaway

This stay was perfect for us! I loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the water. According to my husband, the king-sized bed is easily the best mattress ever! We brought some of our own things (chairs, etc) for the beach, but it was awesome to have so many extras in the storage closet (chairs, body boards, umbrellas, toys, etc). I would definitely like to stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Watch! The unit was very clean, spacious and inviting. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect! We were steps from the beach. It was a nice short walk to the Garden City Pier and our new favorite homemade ice cream shop, Drippy's! Dolphin Watch is accurately named! Every morning around 7-730am while having coffee on the porch, we caught glimpses of dolphins heading towards the pier. Connie was very helpful and quick to respond anytime I had questions. We definitely hope to make many return trips to Dolphin Watch!!

We had a wonderful vacation here. The short walk to the beach was very nice. The cottage style condo was very very nice. It was very clean and communication with the owners was on spot. We hope to be able to rent this place again.
