About this house rental

No hurricane damage. Cheerful coastal vibe, two living areas and bedrooms and bathrooms split with 2/1 in the front and 1/1 in the back. Large laundry/office, sparkling new kitchen, coffee bar in the dining area, screened porch and outdoor dining area. Sought-after location in Gulfport where you can walk to everything – restaurants, shops, parks, beach and waterfront, Tuesday market and other Gulfport festivities. Both bathrooms have been remodeled. Small backyard with synthetic turf, pavers and lush landscaping.
We can't explain why guests say they relax the minute they enter Dolphin House.

Maybe it’s because the cheerful coastal vibe reminds them that they’ve finally made their escape to the beach. Or because comfortable furnishings and sun-filled spaces make this rental truly feel like home. Or because arriving in Gulfport means entering a vibrant community with a be-who-you-are attitude.

No matter the reason, we love knowing guests can find peace at our 3BR/2BA rental in the heart of the Waterfront District. From its shaded yard to its beach chic entertaining areas, Dolphin House is the ideal landing pad for you, your closest friends or family, and even your pup. Come discover Gulfport's beaches, dining, and jam-packed lineup of events - from farmer’s markets to full-fledged celebrations.

A DAY AT DOLPHIN HOUSE

In all three bedrooms, bright color schemes and tropical décor will fill you with Floridian spirit before your feet even hit the floor. Wake up lazily in the master’s king-size bed or either of the guest room’s queens.

Refresh in either of the two full bathrooms—one designated for the master, the other shared between the two guest rooms. If you need to check in with the real world, there’s a spot for that in the office by the master.

Get the day started by whipping up something fresh. Our fully equipped galley kitchen has plenty of counter space for chopping and prepping, plus a large fridge for all your farmer’s market finds.

Take your breakfast out to the shaded back patio and have a moment to yourself beneath the yard’s tall oak tree, or settle in around the six-person dining table for coffee and conversation.

The kitchen and dining space serve as the heart of this split floor plan home - here, you’ll find the perfect balance between privacy and time together.

Two living areas, one near the two guest bedrooms and another near the master, are chockfull of breezy charm. Opt for board games in the bamboo stalk green front living area or sink into cozy sofas for movie night in the back living area. Both have their own flat-screen TVs.

WHY WE LOVE DOLPHIN HOUSE

Fun, a little bit funky, and totally inviting, Dolphin House takes a cue from Gulfport itself. And it’s no wonder: this rental is tucked in the heart of town, just a 5-minute walk from the Waterfront District.

“Bored” isn’t in Gulfport’s vocabulary. No matter when you make your way here, you’ll find some way to immerse yourself in this unique community. Like GeckoFest, an annual end-of-summer celebration full of groovy jams, quirky street performers, and costume-clad revelers. Or bi-weekly art walks, weekly farmer’s markets, and summer sock hops.

When you’re ready to take a break from downtown’s lively spirit for something a little quieter, pedal one of our complimentary bikes a half-mile to the Pinellas Bike Trail or walk a block to the dog park with your four-legged pal.

Free Wifi. Now with Netflix! Pets welcome with additional fee.

Two Ring cameras onsite.

Reservations require the completion of a signed rental agreement including your credit card details. You are entering into an agreement with Splashy Ventures/Gulfport Florida and Splashy is the merchant of record for rent, taxes and fees.

Dolphin House Charmer was the perfect location for a few days' stay ahead of dropping off our daughter for her first year at Eckerd College in St. Pete. We used the front bedroom as a staging area for all of the stuff we trekked down from Minnesota with and found Gulfport to be a great middle ground for completing all of the final errands to finish outfitting her dorm room. The house had everything we needed and was so comfortable! We loved how easy it was to walk to coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and the waterfront. Given that we will be regularly visiting our daughter and exploring the area, I intend to make Dolphin House our regular spot to book!

This is our 2nd time staying at Dolphin House. The first time was in December 2012 before the upgrades & it was great the, but now it is amazing! The addition of a screened porch was wonderful, the new kitchen is gorgeous, & the coffee bar is great! Thank you for a relaxing vacation in a spacious house with awesome amenities!

We came for the Sarasota Arts Festival and are glad we stayed in this area. We own several long term and two short term rentals so we know how things should be managed. This property checked all the boxes. It was spotless and very well maintained. You can walk to several good Resturant’s and the local beach. We really enjoyed the Italian and Greek Resturants. The beds were comfortable and the screened in porch was an added luxury.

This property was perfect for our staycation. We had a wedding to attend in the area and property was a perfect little hideaway while being close enough to getting everywhere we wanted to. Great walking distance to the picturesque Gulfport. The neighbors/neighborhood was quiet, perfect to have a cup of coffee and/or grill in the backyard. Our host had great communication with us and was able to address any and all the questions I had beforehand. We would definitely recommend to others as well as stay again.

This was our third stay at Dolphin House. We like the layout, which allows for some privacy when staying with family members such as adult siblings. The kitchen is very well equipped. This was the second year that we made Thanksgiving dinner while there. The neighborhood is great for walking. There are restaurants and shops nearby. All in all a great place to stay.
