Wonderful House for Family Vacation

Vacation Date: July 21, 2021

"Family flew in from California and Oklahoma to spend a week together in Florida. It was our first time together since the pandemic. Tarpon Springs is a beautiful and quaint place to spend time. The house was so nice and roomy and offered lots of extras not normally offered...such a pleasant surprise. There were three generations; six adults and four teenagers (all boys). The house is large enough to allow spaces for alone time which is nice too. They boys had a great time kayaking, fishing and lots of swimming. The boys caught a few fish too. The pool is lovely. It was also so nice to have access to beach towels too. The man cave had kayaks, bikes, fishing poles/gear, and a pool table. The kitchen is nicely stocked with items needed to cook at home including pantry items which is not normal. So nice to have those conveniences. The only item we couldn't locate was a pizza cutter but a knife works. :) The parking is ample and really nice. We've stayed at other vacation homes where parking can be a challenge for a larger group. All bedrooms are upstairs so that's important to note in case you have anyone with difficulty navigating stairs. There are two main bedrooms with their own bathrooms which is really nice. All the bedrooms are super spacious. It was a nice and relaxing way to spend a vacation. Tarpon Springs has beautiful historic homes, great restaurants - Greek & Seafood, shops, and Howard Park is an easy beach visit with paddleboards, kayaks, bikes, etc. We saw dolphins, stingrays, sea turtles, land turtles, lizards, and lots of water fowl. Highly recommend this home. We enjoyed our time. Thank you!

Wonderful family vacation

Vacation Date: February 21, 2020

"We had a wonderful relaxing family vacation at Dolphin Cove. We watched the dolphins come by every day and fished off the dock with the supplied fishing rods (actually caught fish.. bonus!!) Adult and kids alike enjoyed the pool and closed in sitting area. The bikes and kayaks were a great added amenity. We had no need to use the beach area which is only a 5 minute drive away because our house and pool was so great. We did not utilize the man cave as much as we could have, only played a few games of pool but that is also a great touch. Thank you for having us.. we will be back!!!

"Fantastic home for our Thanksgiving getaway. We were 3 generations, and all of us loved it. Beautiful spot right on the water. The pool and hot tub were great. We had fun kayaking and biking. Loved the 'man cave' with pool table. Nearby beaches are beautiful and we enjoyed eating at the local Greek restaurants. House was immaculate and well stocked with kitchenware for our Thanksgiving feast. Sunsets from the pool are spectacular. We all hope to come again soon!
