  • Dolphin Bay CV424 - Expansive Coastal Retreat, Sleeps 16, 2 Living Areas, Huge Outdoor Deck, Close to Beach

    WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PROPERTY
    Dolphin Bay is designed for large families and group getaways, offering over 3,000 square feet, multiple living spaces, and flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 16 guests. With two living areas, a full kitchen plus kitchenette, and a spacious outdoor deck built for gathering, this home makes it easy for everyone to be together without ever feeling crowded. Just minutes from the beach, it’s the kind of place where group trips feel effortless.

    HIGHLIGHTS
    -Sleeps up to 16 guests with 7 sleeping areas
    -Over 3,000 sq ft with two separate living areas
    -Full kitchen + additional kitchenette for large group meals
    -Extra-large front deck ideal for evening hangouts
    -Two ensuite bedrooms for added privacy
    -Pet friendly (see restrictions below)
    -Kid-friendly setup with bunk room and boat bed
    -Just a 3-minute drive to the beach, restaurants, and shops

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Dolphin Bay stands out as a true group-friendly home, with space intentionally designed for both connection and separation. Two full living areas allow your group to spread out comfortably — whether that’s kids in one space and adults in another, or simply having room to relax without feeling on top of each other.

    The kitchen setup is especially functional for larger groups. With both a full kitchen and a separate kitchenette, meal prep, snacks, and drinks can all happen at once without crowding — something that makes a noticeable difference during longer stays.

    The front deck quickly becomes the centerpiece of the home. It’s a shaded, breezy space where guests naturally gather in the evenings for conversation, games, and downtime after a day at the beach.

    Sleeping arrangements are flexible and designed with real groups in mind. Two ensuite queen bedrooms provide private retreats for couples, while additional guest rooms, bunk options, and the unique boat bed with trundle make it easy to accommodate kids and extended family. Every space is set up to make group travel simple and comfortable.
