A cozy couple’s retreat

Dauphin Pod is a perfect place for a couple’s getaway on a beautiful island. The two rooms, kitchenette and bathroom are just right for two. The place is clean, well-maintained and nicely decorated. There is a small kitchenette that, when we stayed, only had a microwave for heating things up (no table or stove) but a great place to get meals just down the street is Dinner’s Up, which has ready-to-eat take-out meals that only need to be warmed up, which we found to be a perfect choice. You can also sit out on the deck or in two other places downstairs for relaxing and eating. Also, don’t miss breakfast or lunch at the Lighthouse Bakery. We especially appreciated being in the residential part of the island, nestled in among the trees. The aquarium, Audubon refuge and a secluded beach are all nearby. There are bikes available and a bike path that runs the whole length of the island is just two blocks away. We loved the small town feel and friendly, welcoming people and look forward to returning for another, longer stay.

Relaxing & Peaceful

The owner paid great attention to personal details for not only myself & my spouse but also our 2 dogs. It was very pet friendly space. The house seemed secluded even though there were other houses around. The beach was close by along with everything else on the island. We were able to relax without having to worry about anything. We will be going back!
