Not quite what we were looking for
The property is well maintained, clean and cozy. The bathrooms are small and the stand-alone shower in the main bathroom is not tall people friendly. The master bedroom is in the middle of the 2 bedrooms and has no windows and the bathroom is a tight space and not tall people friendly either. The walls are rather thin in the unit and makes privacy difficult. The kitchen is very well stocked and it has a pantry and plenty of cabinet space. The washer and dryer are nice to have in the unit, especially with kids; made it easy to keep clothes from piling up. There is only 1 pool on the property and it is rather small for such a larger property. The staff on site were very welcoming the whole week. There are a few places to eat out and get groceries but at a higher cost. The island doesn’t have a ton of activities for families in our opinion, it is a beautiful place but not our preferred location or vibe for a full week beach vacation.

Unclean and unsafe!!
We wish we could leave a better review but unfortunately we had a horrible experience and unsatisfactory customer service. We attempted to reach out to the local property manager and corporate. The local property manager offered to come assess two complaints (closet door and toilet) but no one would address or primary corners on cleanliness and safety. Photos of our experience were sent to local and corporate property managers, VRBO, along with local officials. Overall this unit and the property are not properly maintained for safety and cleanliness. We are surprised to read so many reviews that state otherwise about this property. After contacting customer service we immediately gathered our belongings and found somewhere else to stay. The pictures on this listing are not what you walk in to. Our experience included: Vomit (at least that's what it appears to be) on the bed skirt of the guest bedroom Electrical cover in children's bunk room not secured to the wall and leaving electrical exposed. Closet door in the bunk room fell off and about hit/knocked over our two year old son. Thick layer of dust & grim on cabinets and air vent covers. Something spilled on kitchen counter. Entry door doesn't latch and bottom portion is broken where kids can get their fingers pinched or stuck. Toilet tank not filling properly in master bath. Machete knives left outside entry way unsecured and unattended. (Assume they belong to the unit located above). The pool is poorly maintained. The fencing around the pool is rotted and falling apart. Their is a large panel of fencing that is falling down that allows for children to have access. There is no safety around the steep steps of the pool area to prevent slipping and falling. Pool rails are rusting. Beach area is very small and not maintained.

Great off the grid getaway
Great off the grid getaway. The beach was close. The beds were good although the master bed was small. The house smelled a bit before we got there. The pots and pans were nasty. Overall a good trip.

Not a king
This property does not have a king bed as listed. It's a queen in the main bedroom and looks to have been from the beginning as it's the same bed as the pictures. It feels like a case of bait and switch. If you are looking for a king bed as are a large number of searchers, this is not the place. We certainly would not have booked the property. Overall the property was fairly clean and a quiet location. The swimming pool was smaller than we thought it would be and busy, so we never ended up using it. The beach was the best part as you could find a spot and it was more peaceful than other places we have been. For a large family there wasn't even a large pot to cook things like spaghetti and other pots/pans were getting tired and flaking. Luckily, we brought our own griddle, but unfortunately we didn't have our own salt/pepper as everywhere we have ever stayed had the basics. There were only 4 dining chairs for a place that sleeps 6. We had to use beach chairs in order to seat everyone at the table. The bbq wasn't put to use as it's getting rather tired and lacked propane. We ended up not using the first door that enters into the kitchen as the locking mechanism isn't right and difficult to get latched correctly to lock. We didn't bother to call about these basic things as we wanted to spend our time on vacation and not inspecting and fixing a property.

Clean, quiet, and friendly
The condo was very nice. We enjoyed every moment of the stay. The beach in front of the property is washed away due to storms, but if we walk 50 feet, the beach becomes wide open and private. Lots of towels, comfy beds, plenty of entertainment for families.

Who is in charge?
Had difficulty maintaining internet and phone connections. We could not enter the compound or rental on the first attempt because the gate and lock box information was on my phone which could not be accessed because of a poor connection. Left our car and walked under the gate. Found the property manager who did not know we were coming and was of no help entering the condo. I'm not sure who manages the condo. Is it VBO or Vacasa? We had a wonderful time and would come back again. Don't know exactly what is happening with the complaint, but it is very obvious that the property manager is NOT happy with whatever it is. She found it necessary to tell us all of the things she couldn't do for us and that there was a law suit pending. The fact that I received an email to review the property from both VRBO and Vacasa is very telling.

Disliked: Amenities
Location was accurate, close to pool and beach. This is a condo and not a single standing home, several things were broken, such as the sliding glass door handle and the sink not draining - backing up as well as the dishwasher not draining, when reported to the property management on site , they did nothing . The silverware was only for 6 , no extras which was annoying. The table only had 4 suitable chairs, when the condo is advertised for 6. There were plenty of towels and having a washer and dryer in the condo was great. I think with a few updates and additions, better communication on how to get things fixed this could be a more more desirable condo.

Quiet little getaway!
I had a great experience renting this home. It was very clean and furnished very well with the exception of no tea picture but we may do. I’ve never been to dolphin Island but I loved it and I will be back! Thank you to the owners for sharing their home!

Place was nice, the beach was beautiful and private which was the best part. There was some major miscommunication between Vacasa who "manages" the place and the onsite property manager about what time we could get in. Luckily the onsite manager let us in early, or we would have been waiting all day. Also key to get in was in a different lockbox than the lockbox on the actual door, that was very confusing. The lockbox on the door needs to get removed, it's there for no reason. Also the ad, specified there was a basketball court on property, there wasn't. Finally the pool is nice, but the water is freezing.

Comfy condo, good beds, nice kitchen, steps from private beach
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from private beach just steps down the boardwalk. Everything you need is provided. Lots of pots and pans-if you like big cups of coffee bring your super sized mug. Nice beds (middle bedroom has its own bathroom) plenty of seating, lots of natural light. View of ocean. We did a lot of cooking- fresh seafood! Close to everything. We will return to walk all the beach’s, hike the bird sanctuary and sit by its little lake. Lovely.
