New Dolphinview

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: Awesome vacation home! Clean, secure, and family friendly. We have stayed in many houses on PI over the last 30 years, including the old version of Dolphin view. This renovated Dolphin View is now our favorite. Love the creek dock, all of the bedrooms and baths, and multiple porches. (The only thing it is missing is a hammock) This is also the first time renting from Tide Life - easy to work with, professional, and timely in their responses.

Lovely Week in PI

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Delightful home. It met all of our needs and more. The dock provided a great place to paddle board and tie up our boat. Only concern was the busy road but the realty/house had no control over that!

Noise simply did not travel. Equipped with everything you could dream of. Location is PERFECT. Ocean at back door, beautiful lagoon at front. We used both constantly.

Family beach house vacation, our first

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: Overall this was a great place to stay. The house was in a perfect location. We loved the island's rural feel and overall quietness. The beach was wonderful and we loved the access to the waterway out back. We spent a lot of time kayaking, walking and boarding. The house was clean and comfortable, but fairly outdated. The house is in need of some major aesthetic updating, window replacement (several fogged windows) and kitchen upgrading. Nice big house perfect for gathering as a big group, yet everyone having a private space to hang out as well.

Christmas Memories

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: We had a full house of family to spend Christmas from a variety of states. Unfortunately for the first few days it was the coldest weather of the year. Inside we played games and ate wonderful meals in a kitchen fit for a chef and house with every comfort you can have away from home. This recently remodeled home has top rated kitchen appliances, huge TV’s, amazing bathrooms, washer and dryer on both levels, and an elevator that accommodated our aging family members. The views of sunrise were magical, daily ocean polar plunges refreshing, and fishing in the creek relaxing. One of the best places we have stayed globally. Thank you to the owners for paying so much attention to detail in this beach home. Happy New Year!!

Absolutely Wonderful

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: My fiance and I came down for a last minute trip to make plans for our wedding. Suzanne was amazing, helping to locate a beautiful beach house that is dog friendly. 'Dolphin View' sits right on the water at Pawleys ... as well as creekside! The house is gorgeous, and we fell in love with it. We even called a professional photographer to take our engagement pictures there. We even happened to meet the owner, and he was a wonderful gentleman. If it wasn't already rented the week we plan to return in August, we would definitely rent it again. In future years, this will be our 'go to' vacation rental.I have already referred all of my family to Suzanne, knowing that they would receive the very best care.

Wonderful Stay at DolphinView!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We were very pleased with our stay at DolphinView. We had lots of room for our 2 married daughters and their families. We enjoyed being right on the beach, and the porch provided a wonderful place to admire the ocean view! Kitchen had all conveniences you might need. Wish there had been just a little more seating in the downstairs living area. Upstairs also had more living room space which was quite nice, but we found we wanted to be all together on the main floor. Everything was clean and beds were fine. Enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the creek out front. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. Plenty of parking under the house. Had lots of room on the beach; not crowded at all!! Wonderful time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my second year renting this house for a few days in the fall, and my second year working with Tidelife. The Tidelife folks are friendly and wonderful to work with. Linens were provided as expected - no problems there.Dolphinview...needs work. The diningroom floors are a water-damaged mess repaired with caulk and nails in some places (seriously, wear shoes in there!!), the doors are a mess (not a decent lock on any of them), the kitchen cabinets are literally falling apart, and one of the beds was leveled with a children's book (which in hindsight is actually pretty funny - nothing's perfect). Truly, I get that there was an ugly storm there last month (the still boarded up windows prove it), but this house is up for sale. It seems like the owners are putting the very least amount of money possible into maintenance, but beach houses basically need near constant maintenance - especially rentals. Most of the damage I noticed isn't a result of the storm (for instance the dining room floors had damage last year already, but now it's much worse). These also aren't issues that Tidelife or the owners would have handled during my stay (other than the book; we handled that ourselves HA!). On the other hand...amazing location, the heat worked, and the house was clean. I'd rent from Tidelife anytime - just not this house.

Amazing location but slightly concerning house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is the definition of adjusted expectations. This is our second year staying at Dolphinview (and we actually saw dolphins this year!!) with several close families and children. The location can not be beat which is why we returned, and may very well return next year even given the below concerns. Oceanfront with creek access allows for any activity desired, and thankfully due to that fact very little time is ever spent inside. The house itself if in poor condition from a maintenance perspective (furniture and beds are great) that has actually deteriorated since the previous stay, which is actually a bit of an accomplishment... There are legitimate safety concerns most notable are the complete lack of functioning external door locks as well as obvious damage to the underneath support framework. Mold is readily visible within the house and also the shadow of what seemed to be former smoke detectors are visible (I am not saying these are not replaced somewhere else because they likely were, this just came up in a post stay discussion with friends and given the current maintenance condition it seemed concerning). The house is currently for sale and unfortunately seems to be deteriorating toward “tear down” status, which is unfortunate. Overall though, the inside of the house is very comfortable and the furniture is in great condition and the house was very clean and well kept. Overall I would probably not be eager to recommend this house to a friend but may stay again ourselves if the situation dictates. Tidelife was amazing to work with and I recommend them 100%. I just feel this house is stuck in a black hole of being sold and delaying improvements. Tidelife likely can only work within the parameters of the home owner and they are likely stuck in a bit of a losing situation here. I would 100% rent from them again.

Spectacular home

This home is just perfect. It’s beautifully remodeled, huge, comfortable and right on the beach. Our only wish was that we could have used the elevator. We had elderly parents come to a 2-night family party and one had both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Getting up the stairs to the elevated house was especially difficult knowing there was an elevator that was not at our disposal. I do understand and suspect that if I was the owner, I may not make that luxury readily available to all guests. I would definitely stay in this home again and my siblings also noted they hope to do another family reunion and rent the same exact house. It’s truly spectacular in every way.
