Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The perfect affordable family get away. Built in 1953 the Dolphin has very cute vintage charm. Complete with a well maintained picnic area with grills and a big swing the place is very convenient for low key family fun. The beach access is easy to find and not too far to walk as the motel itself is ocean front. The pool is a decent size and maintained a cool temperature and was clean. Rooms are very clean but admittedly were a tad on the small side for our family of 4 and two dogs but it was ok because we didn't spend a lot of time in the room anyway with there being so much to do outside. Rooms are perfect for sleeping and doing the basics of life. Shower was modern and clean. We 100 percent would go back and highly recommend to others looking for a vacation without breaking the bank."

8/10 Good
"Although we believe some details around the property, pool, and landscaping could be improved, our overall stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Clean and nicely decorated rooms, lovely beach and pools, and mostly quiet location. The games in the upstairs lobby area need updated- the pieces are missing from most! Also loved the complementary morning coffee…just wished it would start closer to 6:30am rather than 7am."
