Overall Great Stay

We visited with four adults, two kids, and our dog and overall had a fantastic stay. The proximity to the beach was great! The beach was very nice and not crowded with some great sea shells and a perfect place for evening bonfires. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate during our visit so our boys wanted to resort to the heated pool, but the heat was not working. The hot tub made an okay alternative for chilly nights, and the property manager did communicate and work with us for the non-heated pool (which was appreciated). The home was stocked with games, kitchen supplies, towels, beach toys, etc. In terms of the home, the kitchen was great for cooking tasty seafood meals and the master bedroom and bathroom were phenomenal. The living room set up was a bit small and awkward but we made it work. The other bedrooms were clean and comfortable, we just struggled with some of the TVs streaming/wifi capabilities. Overall, if you’re looking for a dog-friendly stay on the beach, this is a great option!

Great vacay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and tidy and had all the amenities. The master bedroom is the highlight of the house. Large closet, large bathroom with a supersized netted tub, large shower and hot tub on balcony. The only downfalls were the master bed is hard and low water pressure in shower. There were inconsistencies with thermostats. The downstairs bedrooms stayed very hot. Location is good and lots of room to yourself on the beach.

Peaceful and great location

This house was perfect for a family vacation! So close to the beach. The private boardwalk was wonderful, especially when you have kids and use wagons to carry beach gear. Kitchen was the best stocked of any VRBO. The private pool was a Plus+++ plenty of restaurants within 10-15 minute drive.

Beautiful but noisy

Loved the house but the 3 flights of stairs got old real quick. The master suite was incredible, but guest were uncomfortable going through bedroom to get to the hot tub. Be warned there is a lot of construction going on around the house and it is very noisy from early morning through evening, 7 days a week. It's a long walk down the boardwalk and then over the sand dunes, so you get quite the workout lugging all your beach supplies to the beach and back. The beach is beautiful but beware cars drive back and forth in front of you all day. With all that said I gave the rating of 5 stars, the house was well equipped and beautiful.

Family vacay

This property looks exactly like pictures online! Perfect location, distance to Cape and Port St Joe restaurants is not too far. Beach towels available and heated pool were added bonuses. A quick fix to the ice maker on fridge was was immediately taken care of when we notified host. The only recommendation I would provide would be to improve WiFi strength to allow all guests equal tv access, the signal didn’t allow viewing in guest bedrooms. The living room and master were fine, all others we couldn’t access. We had poor weather two days and this would have been helpful. Overall it was a lovely trip and great place to stay with family and our pup. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great Week at Dolphin Lookout

We had a great week at Dolphin Lookout. Loved the flowers and note on arrival. We had some minor maintenance issues and the staff were very responsive and so great to work with. The screened porch was great for sitting out in the evenings. Our family loved the pool and hot tub. We loved this area and plan to come back again soon. Again thanks for everything!

Our private beach access along with pool and hot tub was great for all kids (ages 6-15) and adults. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pans, bowls, etc. that we needed. Each bathroom had full size shampoo and conditioner for our use. We would very much recommend staying here and will plan to visit again!

Spring Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A perfect home for an early Spring Break. Weather was great most days but cool so the heated pool and hot tub were a huge hit. The home is well stocked in the kitchen- best I have seen at any rental property. Floor plan is large and open. Great views from porch and lots of room to have dinner inside or out. We usually stay farther up the Cape but really loved the change in location. Nice neighborhood away from the road. I would recommend this home without reservations

Everything was perfect, from the fresh flowers when we arrived, to the gorgeous kitchen, upstairs master bath, and all the decor throughout. The heated pool was fantastic!

Absolutely Perfect

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was perfect for large family group. Nicely decorated, organized and well stocked. The view was amazing. The pool and hot tub were especially enjoyable for the kids and the temp was warm allowing them to swim in December. We love that this property was pet friendly allowing us to bring our dog to the beach for the first time. All questions and needs were addressed immediately. Donna from Be Our Guest is professional and very responsive. Little touches were special like a small Xmas tree since we arrived on Xmas day. Would love to stay here again .

Beautiful home and location but....

This property was one of the nicest homes we've rented in the area. We travel to the panhandle every other year for a summer vacation. The private access to the beach was perfect. The pool was fantastic, and the home was very well-maintained. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to feel at home. We loved having the hot tub on the master bedroom level to enjoy in the evenings. The screened-in patio on the main floor made sitting outside and eating our dinners enjoyable while watching the gulf. The only drawback on this property was the 24-hour surveillance cameras pointed right at the pool area. While I understand the need to keep an eye on the property, this made me feel very uncomfortable and was a constant distraction. The entrance to the house faced the pool, where the Ring door camera monitored the comings and goings every day and the pool area. Overall, I loved the house and the location. I would think twice about renting again due to the heavy surveillance.
