The home is beautiful and clean and well furnished. Large windows on the ocean side provided a beautiful view. The covered deck and pool were amazing and well used during our visit. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes and a good blender and coffee maker. We had six people and two dogs and were very comfortable. Dolphin Island is sleepy but enjoyable. A quick trip over the bridge connected us with shrimp boats where we bought 5 pounds of shrimp for $15! Great family vacation!

This house is perfect set up and location. Short walk across road to beach. Kids loved the pool. Only complaint we had we sent in a message regarding a few things and we never heard back on our first day. We was not able to get the fan in livingroom on. No tv remote in one of the bedrooms, coffee pot top was broken and few other small things. However overall We still very much enjoyed our stay.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. It accommodated our party of 14 plus a couple of dogs with ease. The pool is a nice touch for the kids. Beach access was easy and not crowded at all.

We had 6 adults and 4 kids and this home was perfect for what we wanted! The beach was an easy walk across the street and the pool was a great break from the beach. Kitchen and rooms had everything we needed.

Beautiful views in every direction. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool. Perfect place to go to get out of the hustle of live and slow down. We loved all of the local restaurants and shops. The town had something going on both weekends we were there. The house has plenty of space for large families. The kitchen was fully stocked for large groups. I will definitely be back.

4 college friends (who met in 1971) and spouses spent 4 days at Vitamin Sea! Enjoyed our visit even though the weather did not cooperate! Had a power outage along with plenty of rain!
Would like to mention that the ice maker in the refrigerator was not working properly. We contacted the proper number on Thursday May 16th and the guy said he would come out. He never showed and it never got fixed and therefore we had to going and buy ice. The freezer part definitely need repair!
We checked out at 9 am on Sunday May 19th and left a note also about the freezer.

Had a great week staying at vitamin sea. Had only a few minor inconveniences but nothing that would stop me from renting again (after all nothing is perfect). House was very well furnished with high quality amenities and comfy couch and beds. Definitely recommend to anyone.
5.0
We loved how nice the house was and where it was located. It was just a quick walk across the street to the beach. Had ample room for parking our boat under the house. Included all the normal cookware and utensils. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect size pool and patio for entertainment. Will definitely look at coming back to this house in the future!
5.0
The house was great, clean and new with all the necessary amenities. Th heated pool was small but all we needed. Beautiful views of the bay and the ocean from the house. It was our first time to the area. The beach itself was great however the water itself is awkwardly muddy looking and the horizon is dotted with the oil rigs out in the ocean. Kind of a turn off for us and most likely our last trip to the area.

We traveled as two families of 5 and shared the house for a week. Four adults and 6 kids ranging 10-14. The house was great, it has a great view out both sides and is newer which is a bonus. It seems to have a slight sway/rocking motion when the wind was high. We loved the pool area and the kids swam a ton. We never could figure out where the pool light switch was but it just seemed to turn on/off with a timer.
The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. They did include a few dishwasher pods to start off and a small bottle of dish soap and sponge. We had enough plates, pots and pans for all our meals. The gas grill was nice but the tank was about empty so we ran to refill it while waiting for Vacasa to get us connected with a local person and she reimbursed us for filling the tank.
There were no coffee filters so we had to buy those and Ship & Shore really did have everything you could need which was nice.
They should mention in the check in details email what they start you off with and what you might need to bring. If you drink coffee bring basket style filters.
The table and chairs in the dining area was nice, but I hope they invest in some felt pads for the bottom of the chairs because they are heavy and scraping the floor boards. There was a dust pan but no broom and sand inevitably gets tracked in, there was a corded vacuum we used a few times.
Also, switch the queen bedroom with the king in the “back” of the house so the two rooms looking ocean are king beds.

We had a fantastic week at Vitamin Sea! The house was perfect for our two families. The heated pool was amazing for the kids to play, since it was a little chilly most of the week to be in the Gulf. Terrific views, plenty of space and tons of laid back island vibes!
5.0
This venue was so beautiful! The heated pool was perfect for the cooler days. The swing on the deck was so nice to drink coffee and watch the sunrise and the ocean. The wall to wall sliding doors that lead to the deck and the view of the ocean made you feel like you were outside all the time.

We loved this property…the open floor layout, cleanliness, and amazing views from inside the home and from the deck.

We loved this home. Fully stocked kitchen, sheets on the bed, towels in each bathroom. Great view of the bay and the ocean. Super short walk to the ocean (one street) and the pool was lovely!
We wanted to control the pool lights and could not find a remote/instructions. That was the only thing!
5.0
Great location, just a short walk to the beach. Clean and very roomy. We had 11 people and it was just right for our family. The pool made it great for the kids.

Enjoyed our stay very much! The house had everything we needed! Make sure to bring all you need with you as there isn't much on the island. Great kitchen and grill to cook all while enjoying the pool.
