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!

Wonderful week at the beach

We had a wonderful time with family at Dolphin Lookout! The location is amazing...quiet and beautiful. The home has everything you need to be very comfortable, even while making Thanksgiving dinner in someone else's kitchen. Being able to see the sunrise and sunset from the deck was incredible! Thank you for sharing your home with us...we had the best time!

My husband and I and our 2 pups thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary. 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!

Perfect Vacation!

We had the best week at Dolphin Lookout! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need during our week stay. We loved the pool and two beach front decks. My husband was extremely happy with the grill and its location by the pool and a beach view. So glad we were able to include our two dogs on our vacation also.

great location

We have never stayed in the Port St Joe area and will absolutely be back. We came during spring break week and the beach is never crowded...just small groups of those staying at the houses nearby. So grateful I was able to bring my two Frenchies with us. They loved the dog friendly beach. Our teenagers even had fun which is high praise.

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!

Great House on a Great Beach

We stayed at Dolphin Lookout for ten days and never had any problems. The house was in terrific condition. The kitchen has everything you need and more. When it felt too hot at the beach, we enjoyed the pool. Hot tub was great for evenings under the stars. We would stay again and recommend.

Beautiful home and location! We had a peaceful, relaxing week. The weather was perfect, the pool was a Godsend for my mom! The beach was perfect as well, short walk to and from,. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the living room furniture, it is not very comfortable. Other than that, I would definitely look forward to returning to this beautiful getaway!!!

New Years on the Beach

We had a lovely time. The home was so wonderful and had everything we needed. Enjoyed time at beach, pool, hot tub, riding bikes, horse back riding with "Broke a toe," ate at Joe Mamas (twice ;-)) and Krazy Fish. Mostly cooked using the great kitchen and grill. The supplemental pool heat was great. Best vacation we have had in a while. Thank you so much.

Beautiful location! Wonderful view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was so innervating to wake up each morning and view the gulf waiting for us! We had the beach to ourselves and as we sat and chilled under our umbrellas - the only sounds we heard were the wind and the waves! Treat yourself to this location - you won’t regret it!

Great Kitchen

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was perfect for that. The kitchen was well stocked with double oven, crock pot, toaster oven, mixer, decent knives, and plenty of cookware. However, the living room furniture was extremely old and uncomfortable. The master bed was extremely soft/worn out and the 3rd floor queen mattress was also not in great condition.

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 .

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!

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.

First time to the Cape, longtime 30a vacationer

Was great being on a beachfront property in Cape San Blas. The neighborhood was quiet, convenient and naturally pretty. The house was well appointed and taken care of. Our only issue was the beach area. Depending on the weather and tide movement, the water was sometimes muddy or green and we ended up going to a beach at the end of the cape which was much more like a Destin water quality. The next day, this situation inverted and the water at the house was much clearer than down at the end of the cape. We very much enjoyed the vibe of the area and the quantness of the cape, we will be coming back. Thx
