the interior and exterior of this home have been carefully thought out for

your vacation! Huge pool, patio and pool furniture, and a hammock in the

backyard. Plenty of beds, comfortable furniture, new central A/C, and games

(pool table, foosball, air hockey/ping pong/dining table) inside the home and

the garage game room.



Look no further if you are wanting a true eclectic Island experience with a

super fun/cool retro vibe! While this is not a brand new remodel, it has been

thoughtfully furnished for a large family to gather all under one roof!



3 full levels to create unforgettable family memories while avoiding the

“cookie cutter” Crate & Barrel boring decor that all looks the same :) New

pool installed as of Jan 2026.



Thank you so much for considering our Dolphin House! We hope you will enjoy

our home. Please understand this is not a brand new remodel - it has character

and some flaws & is not new. Up to two pets are allowed for an additional fee
