We have rented via VRBO, and must say this was the best stay so far. Host were so warm and just a delight! Everything the listing said was true, and to the extent it should elaborate more about the property. Such a delight...Loved the birds and setting. This mini resort was all that and so much more...

Our family had tickets for the World Series and stayed here. The owners were amazing and their communication with us was by far the best I have ever had with a VRBO rental. The pool and hot tub were very clean. All the beds were very comfortable. The dock with fishing supplies was a great added bonus. And our Brewers won the World Series! Would highly recommend this rental for a family or group staying in St. Pete's! Thank you to the kind owners!

We had a beautiful time at this place. TONS of wildlife. We saw dolphins, manatees, and had many visits from the resident birds. The house was well stocked, and it was such a convenient location to so many things to do. Hosts were very friendly, and even brought us gifts.

We had an amazing stay at this property. Check-in was seamless and the property was beautiful. Fabienne and Gerold were amazing hosts, and responded quickly to any questions or needs. Even went as far as to drop us off welcome treats and a thoughtful departure gift. The home itself is spacious and clean, and the yard is beautiful. We loved spending time outside by the pool, and taking in the water views. Two of the upstairs rooms have beautiful water views. There was more than enough space for our group to fit comfortably. I recommend this property for anyone looking to come to the St Pete area. It’s in a great central location, only about 10 minutes to the beach area and 15 to downtown. Our group enjoyed being able to go back and forth. You won’t regret staying here!

We rented the home for a bachelor party and it was perfect!! The views, the vibe, the atmosphere in the home. We kyacked and spent most of our time outside by the pool grilling, drinking and enjoying the amazing views of the water. Our host was very gracious and kind. Checked on us and was available for any questions we had. 10/10 recommend.

This was our sixth visit in as many years to Casa Dolphina. We keep returning because we love the feeling we are staying in a private resort that ticks all of our boxes. The property is accurately described with a well stocked kitchen and an outdoor grill. The activities are too numerous to list but they include something for everyone. The wildlife is another bonus.Lastly, we want to thank our host, Fabienne, and her husband, Gerold, for taking such good care of us, and making us feel like family. We always look forward to seeing them. They are very thoughtful and show us their appreciation by giving us a welcoming, yummy, baked good as well as a parting gift. See you next year!

Words cannot describe this beautiful home. Exactly like the pictures, this is our second stay. Owners are immediately responsive to any questions. Do not hesitate to choose Casa Dolphina. There's a reason they have 10/10 on VRBO ratings!

Overall the place was great! Good location, we had a great time swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock. Was able to dock a boat for the week and the hosts were great in prividing different recommendations and places to go. Only reason for not giving 5 stars was the hosts were overly checking in. To one point the entered the back yard and then came in the house one morning without knocking or giving any warning while we were still in pj's and waking up. As much as their kindness was appreciated, multiple drop-ins for a week stay felt like too much when a text message could have sufficed.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed Casa Dolphina, the pool, fishing, dock, and having your pontoon docked here during your stay. We do want to clarify the impression that we repeatedly dropped in or entered the house without warning. We made one host visit during your entire week: our welcome visit at the pool area at 11:00 a.m., which was communicated to you by text in advance. Gerold was on the property one other time to perform routine outdoor spa maintenance, which he currently handles himself. While there, he handed a small gift for the group to a woman — a bottle of wine and some candy for the kids, simply meant as a nice surprise for your evening. At no time did either of us come into the home to check on you or your group. Any brief interaction Gerold had with someone from your party occurred only in connection with the spa maintenance and delivering the gift. We take our guests’ privacy very seriously and would never enter an occupied rental simply to “check in.” We’re glad you otherwise had a great stay and enjoyed Casa Dolphina and the recommendations we provided.

This is our third time to stay at Casa Dolphina. We had nine littles aged 7 months to 11 years and ten adults. We were very comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the swimming pool, sundeck, dock for fishing & crab traps, competitions & football in the pool room, electronic games in the TV room and canoeing to the beach across the bay. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We celebrated Pops 97th birthday and a great-grandchildren’s second birthdays here. Amazing memories and they become more precious every year. Felt like we were “home” when we opened the door. The owners are the sweetest and very attentive to any of our random questions. We loved our ten day stay. But don’t tell anyone and don’t book our stay dates. Haha! Make some memories yall!

What wonderful hosts! Such a sweet experience getting to meet them. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and found it ideal for our family vacation. The house easily accommodated our family of 8. Dolphin sitings were a real treat as was fishing from the dock and kayaking over to Jack's island. We would definitely rent this property again!

All the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The host Fabienne and Gerold were very attentive to our needs, they really wanted us to have a very pleasant stay. I wood definitely book another vacation at Casa Dolphina.
