Beautiful home!pros- Loved the pool, hot tub and screened in porches. Kitchen is well stocked and house was clean and beds were overall comfortable. Cons- construction 3 homes down (so noisy a few mornings),you are beach front but it's not a private beach and you are right down from a public entrance (so may have trucks drive in and set up right in front of you). Not a big deal- just didn't expect it. Grill needs maintenance and pool needs a deep clean.Great week! Would definitely rent again.
Such a great beachfront house! The master suite on the top level was spacious and the deck hot tub access made it even better! This was our first trip to Cape San Blas and we were so impressed with the peacefulness of the area, the water color on the north side beaches, and the cute downtown Port St. Joe! Our pups felt right at home and loved walks on the beach. Would highly recommend this beach house and area!!
This house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. There was nothing more we could have asked for. Lovely views of the beach. Pool was fun. Such a relaxing and fun time.

We loved staying at Dolphin Lookout! It fit our family of 6 adults perfectly. Everything was great and we've already booked our next stay at Dolphin Lookout.
Dolphin Lookout has it all! Private oasis pool, hot tub, private beach access and an easy commute to local restaurants and shopping!
Be Our Guest again soon, Cathy!
This house was perfect for a family vacation! So close to the beach. The private boardwalk was wonderful, especially when you have kids and use wagons to carry beach gear. Kitchen was the best stocked of any VRBO. The private pool was a Plus+++ plenty of restaurants within 10-15 minute drive.

Great house. Management provided us with baby gates promptly. Very responsive. Ice maker in fridge didn’t work but who cares? Everything was great and we would go again!
This is a fantastic house and a wonderful location. I would highly recommend staying here. The pool was a hit and accommodations are outstanding. Very quiet, which is what we were looking for. I hope we can come back soon!

Thank you, Cie. We enjoyed having you and hope you will return to Dolphin Lookout next year for your beach vacation!
We had a wonderful time with family at Dolphin Lookout! The location is amazing...quiet and beautiful. The home has everything you need to be very comfortable, even while making Thanksgiving dinner in someone else's kitchen. Being able to see the sunrise and sunset from the deck was incredible! Thank you for sharing your home with us...we had the best time!

Thanks for staying at this wonderful home. The owners have outfitted Dolphin Lookout with everything. This we truly built for someone to live in (not just visit/rent)!

We had the best week at Dolphin Lookout! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need during our week stay. We loved the pool and two beach front decks. My husband was extremely happy with the grill and its location by the pool and a beach view. So glad we were able to include our two dogs on our vacation also.

Dolphin Lookout is a really COOL place. The waterfall pool, private master suite with gulf facing deck, hot tub and a fantastic kitchen. This home has it all!

We have never stayed in the Port St Joe area and will absolutely be back. We came during spring break week and the beach is never crowded...just small groups of those staying at the houses nearby. So grateful I was able to bring my two Frenchies with us. They loved the dog friendly beach. Our teenagers even had fun which is high praise.

Dolphin Lookout is a small private resort. The pool, hot tub and private beach access provide a quiet oasis where you can relax and take in the best of Cape Dan Blas!
My husband and I and our 2 pups thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect, from the fresh flowers when we arrived, to the gorgeous kitchen, upstairs master bath, and all the decor throughout. The heated pool was fantastic! We hope to be able to return soon! Thanks for sharing your beach home!
