Room was exactly as described. Heated pool was always filled with families with kids. The other pool was too cold to swim. Was nice to have two pools though.
It was a great vacation for our family-we loved the condo & everything was as advertised !The pool were great too & location was perfect We’ll definitely be back
Amazing view, quiet location in the facility. Far enough back off the busier road to not hear the traffic yet close enough to hear the waves from dusk through the evening. Beach access is wonderful. Great stay
Condo was nice. Needs some minor things but nothing too drastic. Needs some decent nonstick pans which I should have brought myself. Beds were comfortable and the shower was super nice. We enjoyed the resort style pool and drinking coffee on the big balcony with a beautiful view!

We will definitely add a new set of pots & pans!! Come again soon!
I have been staying at VRBOs for many years and this place was by far at the top of excellence of the stays. The place was clean and had so many supplies for us to use. It was in a great location. Would recommend highly.
Great view of the pool and ocean while sitting on balcony, very clean and comfortable. There’s a Go cart track walking distance from the condo and the pools were awesome! I will definitely be returning😍
It was very clean and nice! No complaints at all. I loved that we could sit on the balcony and watch our 10 and 12 year old swim in the heated pool. Our little dog had a great stay too, nice dog friendly areas. We walked to the beach several times. Owner was very good at communicating

Glad you loved this wonderful condo with a pool and ocean view. Glad you brought your furry friend! They are part of the family! Come again!
My wife and I have stayed multiple times over the last 10 year in the Dolphin Smile View. Every year we consider other condominiums, but in the end always go back to the Dolphin Smile. It's a great value now during the upgrade of the entire property!
Really enjoyed our stay! Very nice unit with more room than i thought. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Very easy and prompt communication!

The property on the outside needs work but you can see it was being worked on
It was a very nice place to stay and the inside of the condo was amazing. The owner was very helpful and we had everything we needed in the condo. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.
I've stayed at a few of these and my family and I can honestly say, this one was the cleanest, most stocked, manager stayed in contact constantly for anything we may need!
I will stay here again! Family friendly place. I wish I could give them 6 stars!
Dave was very communicative and polite. The condo was very cute, clean and spacious. Any time we took the kids off the condo grounds they begged to go back. Great trip, we will be back!
This is a wonderful beachfront condo in a well-maintained complex. Anything you can think of was supplied. I appreciated that there was an elevator and we didn’t have to walk up to the third floor. Beautiful poolside and beach views from the balcony.
