We love to hear you had a great time! And that boat dock was a perfect place to tie up your boat, which is a huge plus amenity wise for Dolphin Harbor. Come bac and see us soon!
Great complex with a pool and a grassy backyard that overlooks docks and boat traffic between you and Ono Island. Very peaceful. The grass and mature trees really make this place a nice beach vacation.

We went to celebrate my birthday and had a blast! Plenty of room for all of us to eat, sleep, and hangout! Great proximity to the pool and grill… both were used!
We had a great time. We had to wake up extra early to see the dolphins but it was great.

Thank you for sharing a wonderful review on our Dolphin Harbor condo. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Very clean, lost of space for our group of 7. Very quiet pool was nice.
Great place to stay with our group of 7. Loved all the rooms and bathroom were very spacious. Would be great for couple also. It’s on the canal and enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the morning watch the boats going out. Can’t wait to plan our next trip with my family for next year.

Loved the location with boat docks since we bring our boat. Family enjoyed everything about the condo! Spacious, clean and management was great both times we have rented the unit, First in May and again in September.

We love our repeat guests! Thanks for always choosing Bella Beach Properties to ensure your beach vacation is one for the memory book!
This condo was beautiful and the perfect place for us to stay! We had so much room and the location was perfect. The docks are back in use after the hurricane and they did such a great job. We loved being able to walk out the back door and hop on the boat. We will definitely stay there again!

This is the 5th time we have stayed at this property and it needs a little TLC. We never could get the TV’s in any room to work. It would say no signal.

Glad to have you back! Sometimes TV’s can get placed on an incorrect input setting, especially if a previous guest is streaming or had a gaming console connected. Next time, please let us know during the stay as this is an easy fix. We can normally walk the guest through it over the phone but if we have to send someone, that isn’t a problem and can be done in a timely manner. We look forward to your next visit.
Dolphin Harbor is a beautiful property and the unit we rented was great. Bella Beach Properties are great to deal with and they made everything simple. We will be back next year!

Thank you for mentioning our hospitality. We are so glad you had a great beach vacation. We look forward to your return visit.
Fantastic floor plan for six adults and one child! Location was perfect for brother’s wedding, and two other family members, who had boats docked outside, were also pleased with their units. Pool was clean and fun too.
Condo was wonderful! We enjoyed being able to have our boat right outside the door. Plenty of room for more people than the 3 of us and I'm sure we'll have a full house when we return.

The only thing missing was a crosswalk to get safely over to the beach access! (Totally not the owners fault, of course)

We had a great time staying here. When we arrived the pool area said “closed” so our kids were bummed the first day, but after messaging the management we found out it wasn’t actually closed. You do have to walk across a busy street to get to the beach but it wasn’t bad and the beach access was super easy and nice. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a group of 10 women on a beach vacation. This trip was great. The condo was very large opened the back door and sat on the porch seen sharks, dolphins, and some crabs just sitting on the sidewalk. The beds were soft and the bathrooms were big. loved the location. already planning another trip.
