About the host
Hosted by Kathy Reynolds
Thank you for your interest in our vacation rental! We've owned Twin Dolphin since 2010 and in 2017 decided to share our favorite place with others. We received so much enjoyment from opening our home to others that we followed this vacation rental with 4 others: one in central FL (VRBO #1090075) and three in the Smoky Mountains of Western NC (VRBO #'s 1110772; 7935707 and 9453752). We are a VRBO Premier Partner on all of our homes which are all rated 4.98-5.0 on a 5.0 scale! Our original love is the Keys so when we had the opportunity to purchase the home across the street from our beloved neighbor in July, 2021, we felt we could create another idyllic tropical getaway for our family, and yours, to enjoy (VRBO #2413494)
We take pride in offering guests immaculate surroundings with tasteful decor and all the creature comforts of home. Your comments and suggestions are welcome as we strive to provide a seamless vacation for our guests! We will be easily accessible via telephone, text, and e-mail before and during your stay. Thank you for considering booking with us.....I hope you'll become a repeat visitor!

What makes this property unique
We love this home for so many reasons! The deep water canal, the privacy of a single family home with no neighbors on either side, ease of reaching the gulf side or ocean side in a few short minutes just beyond Boot Key Harbor, wonderful area for walking or bicycling. Publix, Walgreens and Home Depot are all less than 5 minutes away. Too many restaurants and nightlife spots nearby to name but there's always great live music somewhere less than a 5 minute drive. Or of course, many options for dining and dancing on the water by boat! This home holds such a special place in our hearts, we think you'll feel the same after your visit!
