This property is right on the beach at the start of the boardwalk. Great location, friendly manager, clean rooms, affordable price. Highly recommend Dolphin Cove.

Such a great spot for a getaway. Check in was super easy and the personnel were thoughtful and accommodating. Even moved our room so we can have a superior view of the ocean. Walks to the pier and beach were so easy due to the hotel being on the beach and there were lots of great shops and restaurants close by. With the amazing view, we didn't even feel like we wanted to leave the room.

Nice little gem of a place.
You couldn't pick a better location. Steps away from the pier and all the restaurants and shops. The bed was super comfy, next time we will spring for an ocean view room in the front. We will definitely stay here again.

Love the closeness to the pier The room is a little too small. The TV channels are not easy to maneuver. Took me a long time to finally figure out how the remote works.

Great location above beach. Rundown motel with antiquated furnishings and bathroom. Small room, noisy neighbors. Smells stale and damp. Overpriced for the poor quality of the place.
