About this property

Gulf Front, Pet Friendly Single Family House Near Rock Wall ~ Dolphin Watch

Location is key for this beachfront vacation rental home. Perched on top of a sand dune, just passed the rock wall on Cape San Blas, it’s impossible to get any closer to the water than in Dolphin Watch. The gentle waves of the gulf hit just beyond the staircase leading from the house to the beach. On the opposite side of the house, just across the street, is the St. Joseph Bay. The bay is a marine life wonderland. Perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding and inshore fishing.

Dolphin Watch accommodates a party of 6 comfortably with 3 bedrooms on the top floor, and the living area on the main level. Each of the three bedrooms are gulf front with fantastic gulf views of the beach and access onto a large covered deck. The main floor living area is an open concept that allows everyone to spread out and enjoy one another while also taking in the breathtaking views.

**Pet friendly, max quantity and type required; additional fees apply**

Quiet, Convenient, Impossible to be closer to the ocean.
This house sits right on the water, I mean, literally the ocean comes under the house when the tide is high or there is a storm surge. Luckily, there is an empty lot between this house and the next, so you still have some beach to enjoy. It's very quiet, hardly anyone walks by. Our experience was like being on your own private beach. Couldn't ask for a better experience in that regard. There are a few things you should be aware of with the house. 1) Erosion has taken its toll and part of the driveway has no support under it. You'll see some 4x4 wood beams that are used as a curb to stop your vehicle from driving too far. I would avoid walking close to the corners or edges where the concrete driveway meets the bottom deck. 2) The stairs that go from the bottom deck to the 2nd deck have an extremely high rise. I speculate that they are not to building code, but I'm no expert. Also, they lack a proper hand rail. Be careful. 3) Other reviewers mention the house sways. I only experienced this when someone in the house was walking around, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean is playing a part in moving the house considering how the waves do hit the pillars. 4) All three bathrooms are great, but plan time for the hot water to recover. We were able to shower about 4 (of 6) people before the water heater ran out. I really hope the owners/management do something about the erosion issue. Aside from the above this place is excellent.

Blown away with nothing to hold on to.
There weren't any stair rails for steep tiled stairs. Very dangerous and I'm sure it doesn't meet code. The deck to the water was blown off and unusable. The only entrance/exit caba lock didn't work half the time. No coffee tables and Very poor lighting. Tv's were very confusing and internet didn't work half of the time. Water was only warm upstairs.

I'm not sure you can get closer to the water without staying on a boat.Everything was great, except for the dead fish from the red tide. That, however was not the fault of property owner, or rental company.

Wife’s birthday getaway
I took my wife down to have romantic getaway. I had secretly planned for her highschool best friends and college roommates to show up and have a surprise girls weekend getaway, and I drove home. It was a total success and the house was right on the water. Perfect for what we had planned. We never could get the internet to work and the Tv was limited so they couldn’t get the UGA game on(but my wife didn’t care). There was a strong cleaning chemical Oder but over all it was a good trip. I have already recommended it to my buddy for his wife’s 50th birthday.
