This was the perfect place for our group. Beautiful backyard and amenities, plenty of space and the hosts are absolutely wonderful. Would absolutely come back and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!
We had a great time at Casa Dolphina! The layout of the house is perfect for groups. Plenty to do, the view was amazing and the outdoor area felt private. The hosts were great and accommodated all of our needs.
Casa Dolphina has a backyard paradise and covered sunroom that is perfect for groups with varying ages and interests. The kayaks/kayak lift, fishing from the dock, the birds, dolphin, manatee, gorgeous sunsets, and the perfect hosts can't be beat. This wasn't our first visit and won't be our last.
Beautiful place for our group to relax after working the St Pete Boat Show. Nicely maintained property with stunning views and nice amenities. I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs that list pool tables as an amenity only to find out they were junk. This is a proper table with nice cues and a dedicated space. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to entertain properly. The hosts were friendly and very attentive.
Fabienne and Gerold were extremely accommodating hosts! The property itself is gorgeous - our family enjoyed spending time out on the pool deck enjoying the views, swimming, and relaxing on the patio. The kayaks are a must-do for any guest of the residence- we enjoyed taking them out to the island and exploring the intercoastal. The home was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 10. Fabienne and Gerold greeted us at the home with homemade treats and gifts, which was an extremely thoughtful and appreciated gesture. We will definitely be staying again!
Casa Dolphina is a fantastic place to stay. The expansive water views are world class, and the sun room, pool, kayaks, and hot tub are great amenities. Fabienne and Gerold are wonderful hosts who are committed to the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. They are very quick to respond to questions and brought thoughtful welcome gifts to the house early in our stay. The home is one you don't want to leave and we would love to return!
The property was amazing, perfect for our group of 3 families with 11 people-plenty of outdoor and indoor space for relaxing between exploring nearby attractions and down time. The hosts were very responsive and made our stay extra memorable.
We had a group ranging in age from 3-60 and everyone had an great time at this property. The kids loved the pool and amenities (it was well worth the extra cost to heat it), and the adults loved the hot tub, lounge area, and kayaks. And we all enjoyed watching the sun set while eating dinner outside each night. The house was very clean, quiet, and well furnished. There were thoughtful amenities like nightlights, trash bags, paper towels, etc. And we loved that there were little bins of sunscreen and other toiletries that previous renters left to use! Fabienne and Gerald were amazing hosts! They were the most engaged, responsive, and kindest owners we have dealt with over our years of renting on VRBO. We would definitely recommend this property and will stay here again if we ever go back to St. Pete's.
We had an amazing stay! The owners are great communicators and very attentive. The house was perfect for 12 of us to feel comfortable. We loved spending most of our time enjoying the pool, decks, and sunroom area. Kayaking over to the beach was easy and a treat!

Beautiful, well kept property. Fabienne and Gerold are amazing hosts that want you to have the best experience possible.
The kayaks on the property were a great idea to paddle out to the island. Fishing was great. Seeing dolphins right next to the dock pool was incredible.
We would love to come stay again.
There were five couples , loved the house with 5 king sized bedrooms , the pool and dock was wonderful ,went kayaking , loved the sunroom with the big table for all of us , the host with super special in every way , saw dolphins everyday , overall loved our visit
We had a perfect stay here. There were 6 adults, 4 children 6-12, and 3 generations. We simply had a brilliant time. There is so much wildlife here. We saw dolphins most days, a manatee on 2 occasions and so much more. We used the kayaks to explore and went to the nearest beach in them. We paid to have the pool heated and that was great. The owners lived nearby and they were always on hand if you wanted anything. The position of this property within the bay was perfect. We also used the fishing fods supplied and we caught several fish. A great place to relax.
we stayed at Casa Dolphina for 12 days and had a wonderful time. The owners were very attentive and helpful, and the house was spacious and clean. The grounds, and the pool, were second to none. Convenient location to many restaurants and beaches and shopping as well. yard games, and kayaks were available, which was a plus! You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!
We just returned from our stay at Casa Dolphina and it did not disappoint! Our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay. Fabienne and Gerold were the most amazing and gracious hosts. The property was absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the outdoor space. It was truly a private oasis. We will definitely book again.
This was our third visit to Casa Dolphina since 2021 for our LibraFest/Birthday get away. The house was AMAZING! Lots of space for all and very comfortable beds. Gerold and Fabienne are always wonderful hosts. I tell everyone how amazing this house is, and the location is perfect. We had a beautiful week of warm and sunny October weather. We enjoyed the kayaks and the pool/hot tub. We enjoyed a beach day at Treasure Island (Caddy's), shopping and walking around John's Pass and yummy area restaurants. We were always on dolphin watch and we did see a few during our stay. We also loved our daily visit from our bird friend. We hope to be back soon.
We had such a wonderful time. Fabienne and her husband were so thoughtful and welcoming. They brought us cupcakes, wine and chocolate which was so delicious and unexpected. They attended to all our needs and the kayaking and fishing was amazing. We definitely would recommend this place and stay here again in the near future.
This was the best stay I have had, ever. The house was perfect. The solitude and decor was just amazing. It was so relaxing for all of us who stayed at Casa Dolphina. We even got to see some dolphins out past the private dock. I will stay here again as soon as I can. I had always imagined what I thought a vacation should be in my mind, but this lived up to my imagination. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend anyone to stay at Casa Dolphina. You will not regret it one bit. Thank you to the owners so VERY much. Allowing us to make the most beautiful memories that will stay with us the rest of our lives. We will come back again.
We were a group of 5 friends who spent a week at Casa Dolphina and really enjoyed ourselves. The property is awesome, great views and sunsets, you never want to leave. Check in and check out were very easy and the owners were awesome to deal with. Thank you Fabienne and Gerold.
We had a fantastic trip to Casa Dolphina! The house was in a great location and was very spacious and comfortable! The owners were so communicative and helpful. We had a fabulous vacation and would highly recommend this property!
