Deacon on Dolphin! Quaint 3rd Row Beach House with Ocean Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Matt was super responsive the times I had to reach out with any questions. We had a last minute issue arise with car problems & he was super understanding with our situation & even attempted to help us find a local mechanic. We enjoyed our stay & the short walk to the beach, the home was cozy & clean."

Cozy beach studio within walking distance to the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a beautiful place. My husband, myself and our dog Moka loved our time here, though it was short. The only thing that was difficult for us was the step up into the bathroom. We were able to, but because of OUR health, it was harder. But what a beautiful bathroom it is! The whole place was absolutely wonderful and had all the necessities supplied - including body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Plenty of towels and wash clothes. A great kitchen fill with needed supplies. It's a beautiful place for a small family needing a getaway. Close to wonderful restaurants and within walking distance of the beach! I have already recommended. We were able to meet the owner before leaving and he is very friendly and very thankful for our stay! Thank you - to Jason and family - for use of you beautiful place!"

Oceanfront with HOT TUB & ELEVATOR. Views from every room!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location was perfect, only a few steps from the beach with incredible ocean views, especially at sunset. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway."
