Perfect spot for our getaway
5/5 We enjoyed our stay here! It’s a small house but the perfect size for me and my husband. The shower was his favorite part. Very close to the sea wall and the strand. We would definitely stay again.

Good place
5/5 The place was clean which is a big thing to me.. It was just the right size for my husband and 1. Was glad for the fenced in yard so we could put our e- bikes in for the night. Really liked how close it was to seawall.. We just rode our bikes or walked, even to supper we just walked to Saltgrass steakhouse.. Would definitely stay again.

Blue Dolphin is clean and cozy!
5/5 House is ~80 years old and has been restored very well. Outside of window a/c units being a little loud, it’s a great place to stay. Bed is comfortable!

Not as advertised
2/5 The house was difficult to get in and out of . People park right in the one lane road. Very hard to locate turn in at night. House, bed and pillows smelled very old and rank. Found out it’s a rebuild of a OLD house from 50’s. Next door to another really rotted out house the owner has bought also and is renovating this fall. Guess it BBC will be advertised as new too by then. Was not on the beach at all.
