Great villa. Communication with owner were excellent and very helpful to make sure your stay was top notch. Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Only 10 mins to the beach and less than that to shops , restaurants and takeaways
Myself, my son and 2 of his friends (all 17) stayed the week and thoroughly enjoyed the house, pool and location. Very easy to get places, loved the access to the walking trail, grocery store, etc.
Nataly and her husband were gracious and attentive owners who have a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. We would highly recommend that you visit their property.
This house was perfect for our family. Location was great. Pool area nice and big. House layout was spacious and comfortable. We would definitely rent this again!
Our overall experience was great!! And the house was clean spacious, and the backyard is absolutely inviting for spending time in the pool or just lounging by the pool, whether in the sun or under the covered area cabana. We highly recommend the dolphin house. Thank you Nataly and Vitaly for your hospitality.
We had a wonderful time at this home. The pool and outdoor living space was perfect for our family and where we spent the majority of our time, when we were not at the beach. The inside of the home was very clean and spacious. The home owner was easily accessible and responsive, which I greatly appreciated! We would love to return to this vacation home again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful week!
The owners were very responsive to our booking questions and so nice
The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook and the garage had everything you would need for a day at the beach from beach chairs to a tent, wagon, and cooler. We will definitely be back soon
Everything in the property was like in the pictures. The only thing I did not like is when the owner tried to accuse me for incorrectly booking the amount of guests that would re-at the property and send me a bill for almost $400. I had to send her proof that my sister had rented another property and she canceled the payment. I wish she would’ve communicated with me first before trying to charge me. It just made everything very uncomfortable and I was ready to come home. I definitely will not be booking with her again

Never again will I have these guests in my house. They treated my property disrespectfully and violate my important house rule (no noise after 10pm). Guests were screaming outside and running around the house after 10pm and ringing the doorbell about 10 times in an hour... I had to check the ring bell camera, suspecting that something strange was going on. So I saw that about 8-10 people were running and jumping in my flower bed with bushes and flowers that I planted near my house for comfort and beauty.
I also found that many more people were coming in and out of my house than booked. I felt deceived and wrote about it to the guest. After that, I sent a request to pay for additional guests. After talking with the guests, I decided to cancel the additional payment, believing them that the extra people are their guests. But my overall impression about the guests remained negative. Not surprisingly, they were not happy with my remark about violating the rules of the house.
Was a lovely place. But there wasn't any containers to store left over food, not a clean cookie sheet or cake pan. No measuring cups. Maybe in the garage have a drying rack! The decore was very nice. Better communication and maybe not count on the car that we told she would rent. Last minute she told us she rented to someone else. At Christmas in Florida cars were being rented for $2000 and up. So the one she had forvour family was $70.00 a day $490 for the week. So beware. Also never spoke once to her which would have been nice. She said her English wasn't the best. I gave her my phone # 3 times she could have just said Hello! When I mentioned the sheets and towels weren't clean she seemed upset but we were upset because at 10 pm when we were going to bed we had to wash sheets! The good definitely out weighed the things we didn't like but all in all a nice vacation. Maybe after reading this post they will add a few things to the kitchen. Maybe a nice Welcome note to the tenants since she couldnt speak good Engish! In the past we felt so Welcome in the homes we rented.

I have been in this business for 3 years and this is the first time I met the guests who were unhappy with everything. For some reason, they washed clean linen that was already clean prior to their arrival. They didn’t officially reserve a car but simply asked if it was possible to rent our car. Since no confirmation nor a payment for a car were received from these guests, the car was rented to other guests who confirmed reservation and immediately paid for the service. Of course, we could not rent a car to two families for the same days. These guests wanted a heated pool when they booked my house. We had a few months before their arrival and we decided to satisfy their wish. We urgently bought a heater for our huge pool for their comfort. We had to pull pipes underground, our workers did a tremendous job. We spent over $10,000 to have the heater plugged in before they arrived. We tried to do everything for the comfort of these guests. But they did not appreciate this and on the very first day they started complaining that they did not have a cake mold (which is not something most rentals provide). These are ungrateful and always dissatisfied guests. My assistant came to them and called them numerous times to respond to their numerous requests. They demanded things that we never promised them in the description of the house and in the photo gallery (for example, measuring spoons). I would definitely not recommend these guests to anyone.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The kitchen and pool were perfect for our girls trip. It was a little tight to sleep 11 grown adults. The host was extra accommodating to make sure we all slept comfortably. Great communication and hospitality.
My family and I had a wedding and some business to take care of in St. Pete.'s and needed a place stay all on one level. We found the house to be better than we had thought. Very tastefully decorated, very clean and all in great working order. The kids enjoyed the pool and we had the ability to have meals together as a family.
The owner was has a great outlined usage notes and communication was fantastic.
I would highly recommend this house.
The home was very clean and larger than it appears in the pictures. Everything was well-maintained. The property owner was very polite with all of our interactions and I would definitely stay here again when I'm in the area.
