Relaxing Break

Decided we needed some sun after a rough, snowy mid-western January. A repeat annual visit to the Dolphin Watch rental was just what we needed. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We felt very secure in the house. Great location with lots of restaurants, shopping and golf courses in the area. The reservation process was quick and easy.

Beautiful home. Perfect for our family with a Million Dollar view. The house however needs some much needed TLC. However, with that being said, we would rent it again for our next trip and also recommend to others.

Very Good

We loved our stay here. Only complaint we had was the people setting up their beach chairs and tent in our private beach space! Also would be nice if the property provided 6 chairs and umbrellas instead of 4. We loved our stay!!

Wonderful house with a gorgeous view

Our stay at Dolphin Watch was fantastic. The views of the Gulf are superb and the house is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are spacious and elegant, and everything you need is at your fingertips. Nice, big comfy couch too. Huge deck with lots of comfortable, large chairs. Would stay here again anytime!

Great house!

We had a great time at Dolphin Watch. The water is clear and calm, the beach is powdery white sand. Absolutely gorgeous. The house was perfect for us, with two primary bedrooms and a loft bedroom for our teenager. Having the golf cart was awesome too! Host was very responsive and kind when we had a question. Can’t say enough good things about this vacation!

Outstanding Stay

I have been coming to Destin for years now and stayed at several different properties with different rental agencies, this was by far the best experience we have had. The property was very clean and the rental company was very pro active throughout our stay. Excellent location and has more amenities than you could ever need. We have already booked next year at the same property with the same company.

Relaxing Vacation

This was our second stay at Dolphin Watch. We found the same comfortable home, with easy beach access. The house was clean and neat and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. While on the deck on one of our last days, we were delighted to be entertained by a pod/herd of dolphins. Would definitely recommend.

Loved waking up to the beach and going to bed with the sounds of the waves! The attention to comfort in bedding and bath towels was exceptional. We also loved having beach chairs and umbrellas put out for us each day. We also loved being centrally located to shopping and dining. Thanks for a great vacation!
