I can’t say enough about our family vacation last week! The house was perfect; exactly as depicted in the photos. The owners were exceptional. They checked on us, brought my grandson a birthday gift, left us a departure gift and were so kind and helpful. Would definitely stay there again and again!

If you want your BEST vacation at the BEST place - book this house! It is my 2nd time staying here and I lived it as much as the first time! The house, the pool, the outdoor space and the dock to enjoy the water & fish - book this house now!
Fabienne and Gerald are such incredible owners and so very helpful! They make you feel like VIP guests. I promise you will have the time of your life at this house!
I took my 17 and 14 year old daughters with 4 of their friends. Made so many memories. You will too!

Casa Dolphina, Fabienne and Gerold (owners) rate well ABOVE five out of five star rating for our diverse family. This home offered our 4 generation family ranging in age from 2 years to 76 years old SO much space, privacy, fun and entertainment. The owners live locally and stopped by to greet us with delicious home baked cupcakes, wine and a personalized memory from our stay. We will certainly return! Thank you for your hospitality <3

This house has room for everyone! It had the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. We used the pool table everyday and the swimming pool was the perfect size and temp. We enjoyed the kayaks and exploring the island. The most gracious owners you will ever meet and they even brought us cupcakes and a special gift for a birthday. You will want to come back again and again. We saw dolphin and manatee almost everyday from the dock. I can not say enough about this place and it’s close to stores and restaurants! The sunsets were unbelieveable. We enjoyed every minute at this amazing home!

The house is as pictured - comfortable beds, various dining options for family, everything we could have possibly needed. BUT, the outside is where the
Magic happens!!! Incredible view, pool, dock, kayak lift, etc. What sets this rental property apart from the rest are the Hosts!!! Fabienne and Gerold are the kindest and most responsive hosts we have ever encountered! From providing information about local places, to the cupcakes, to the little surprises left for us - they made the difference! Rent this place - you will not be disappointed!!!

We had an awesome week at Casa Dolphina! The owners, Fabienne and Gerold, were very thoughtful to welcome us with a visit and answer any questions we might have. They even brought us a yummy treat and a gift prior to our departure.
The layout, with bedrooms on the first floor was perfect for family members who were not able to comfortably go up and down stairs.
The house had everything we needed and more! We were especially pleased with the lift for kayaks and enjoyed kayaking the area. Most of our time was spent in the 4 seasons room and outdoors enjoying all the amenities in the beautiful resort like backyard. Daily passes of the dolphins were a highlight.
A family member destination wedding brought us to the area and this home was perfect for us. We highly recommend this home for large family vacations!

Delightful property that exceeded expectations and gave our extended family group of 8 plenty of space to be together and have individual space too. Pool, hot tub, kayaks and mini-golf were enjoyed by everyone. Hosts were very quick to fix minor issues and very generous towards us all.

Our stay at Casa Dolphina was wonderful. The house had plenty of room for our large group. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and we used it a lot. The pool and hot tub got a lot of use. We had fabulous sunsets and saw dolphins daily. Casa Dolphina is ideally situated a short Uber ride into the cute town of Gulfport as well as St Pete. Fabienne and Girold are wonderful hosts and even went above and beyond to mail my son’s jeans to him! Will definitely return!

We had the absolute BEST week! This house is amazing and truly has it all! Great location, great neighborhood, a good size pool (it is well worth the extra money to have it heated), the kids loved the hot tub, and we all had so much fun kayaking to the private island close by.
One of the highlights of the trip was all the wildlife we saw in the bay, plus all the fishing the boys got to do off the private dock! We saw dolphins, manatees, crabs, stingrays, caught tons of fish plus a baby Bonnethead shark.
The house had everything we needed and fit our needs perfectly. We spent the majority of our time hanging out and eating in the 'four seasons' room - our favorite spot! The booking, check-in, & check-out process was extremely easy and Fabienne & Gerold are the best hosts!!! We've already booked again for next year and can't wait to go back!

Our family of 12, with ages ranging from 14 to 92 could not have picked a better home and location. The owners Fabienne & Gerold were very kind and available if needed.
My Dad was so impressed we didn't need to pay extra to see the dolphins because they were in our back yard!
I am sure we will be returning with family or friends.
You will not be disappointed with this home!

Great location. Fantastic space to enjoy and relax between the hot tub, pool and large open living space this very unique and fun house with outside tiki bar and bbq area was a joy to stay. The sunset was awesome and dolphins on a daily basis. A very unique and pleasant stay.

We had 8 people (18-55) on this trip. The house and neighborhood are exactly like advertised. The hosts are fantastic, and very helpful for anything you might need, or advice on the area. We kayaked, fished, used the pool (heated) , used the hot tub, cooked some meals, and played many many games. The beach is a short easy drive as well as any stores you may need. I literally can not say enough about this property and the hosts

The home is absolutely beautiful and is set up perfectly for a family. The views are amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better host/hostess. We had requested special permission for a small family wedding which exceeded our expectations. Fabienne and Gerold went above and beyond, even surprised us with a beautiful wedding gift. Definitely returning.

Highly recommend - we will stay at the property again.

Our family met up at Casa Dolphina for a vacation prior to school starting.
We get together every year and this was the best location we have been to yet.
The hosts Fabienne Gerold are such lovely people. They greeted us and made us feel right at home. Fabienne made some amazing cupcakes for us it was a very nice start to our trip.
The property is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of our time outside where the view is picture perfect. The pool overlooks the water and every morning and every evening at sunset the dolphins swam right next to the dock. We all loved seeing them. We also saw manatees and parrots.
Our children are ages 14, 16, 17 and they loved kayaking. The dock lowers into the water and makes it very easy for everyone of all ages to enjoy the kayaks.
It was way too hot outside to use the hot tub but I can imagine in the fall this would be fantastic.
The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. Everyone had their own space and plenty of room for group dining.
When renting in a location you have not been to you hope the home is as nice as the pictures. This one is even better than the pictures because when you see that view it is just stunning.
We are looking at our calendars to see when we can all meet up at Casa Dolphina again next summer.

Fabienne and Gerold were amazing hosts. They greeted us with delicious cupcakes homemeade by Fabienne.
The house was wonderful. We have been coming to Florida for vaction for 20 years and this house was a combination of everything our family loves.
We saw dolphins, pelicans and mannatees daily. Kayaking in the bay was wonderful. My grandson and I jumped off the dock and swam in the bay.
Fabienne and Gerold even gave us a wonderful 50th Anniversary gift which was definitely unexpected.
Looking forward to our next trip tp Florida and seeing Fabienne and Gerold.
You can definitely not go wrong by booking this spectacular home.
My only regret was that we couldn't stay for 2 weeks this year.
Thank you so much to the Schwyn's for a wonderful vacation spot.

We a had a wonderful time at this property and the owners (Fabienne and Gerold) were absolutlely fantastic. Views of the bay and sunsets were stunning! Plenty of large bedrooms for all the adults and bunks for the kids. The outdoor (FL) room with all the doors off the pool was perfect for gathering out of the sun, while others we relaxing in the pool. Can't go wrong renting here and enjoying the FL sunshine and hospitality! Thank you for a great week!

This was our second stay at Casa Dolphina and it was just amazing as we had all remembered. The Tiki hut was a nice addition from our last stay. The owners are just the best people and very easy to communicate with them if you have any questions or concerns. We hope to be booking our 3rd trip in the future. There were 10 of us and had plenty of room and the house was so clean. I can’t think of one thing I would change other than staying longer. Other than going out for dinner we just stayed at the house and enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the amazing view. The kids did a lot of fishing off of the dock and caught many fish. Truly paradise on earth!!
5.0
The property had a nice variety of activities for our family of 6 adults and 5 grandchildren (12-17). The pool table was a hit with the boys, kayaking was fun, and hot tub was a good relaxing time after fishing off dock and swimming in pool.
The property owners were most responsive to any questions prior to our visit and during. We enjoyed Fabienne’s cupcakes too!
The view from the back was a daily evening event…lovely view of bay with beautiful sunsets…
Definitely recommend for a relaxing and fun vacation….

Family vacation for 10 people from 25 to 80. Younger guests loved the kayaks and the pool. Older guests loved the pergola and tiki hut. Beautiful house and great location. The owners were extremely wonderful and the pastries they brought were delicious. Would definitely stay again if returning to St. Pete. Thanks.

I was once told " don't travel for the country but the people". This could not be more true of our hosts Fabienne and Gerold. They met us at their home, showed us every aspect of the house to assure we were comfortable.
We had a family reunion with our two daughters and thier family. A total of 11 adults.
It was a once in a lifetime visit where we enjoyed swimming, outdoor cooking everyday,kayaking ,hot tub and of course a putting green.
There was a mechanical lift that allowed kayakers to safely enter the water. Something we never saw befote.
And when we wanted to go boating we found a great pontoon rental shop that picked us up and took our entire family boating all day.
All this was available because the Casa Dolphina was
easy to locate directly actoss from Jack's Island.
Our entire family was overwhelmed with the Casa Dolphina and especially with the personal attention giving us from our hosts.
As said earlier go for the people and they will make your vacation unforgettable.
