About this property

Dolphin View: Home Away From Home! Best of Both Worlds - Beach and Harbor!

Welcome to Dolphin View! Our beach home is located on Destin's East Pass and the Destin Harbor. It is central to the most popular Destin activities and the harbor. The view of the jetty from our Lanai will occupy guests for hours. You can watch pods of dolphins herd schools of fish along the rock barrier and watch the deep sea fishing boats race toward the gulf in the mornings and return in the afternoon. Take a stroll to Norriego Point, the local beach just beyond the gates of the East Pass Tower complex for the fireworks show every Thursday night at 9 PM between Memorial Day and Labor Day, or watch the fireworks at poolside. You'll find our condominium is comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated, sleeps 6 and has a spacious Lanai accessible from the living room and both bedrooms. The Water Taxi (seasonal) is only steps away and will take you across the harbor to your favorite location - NO TRAFFIC!

Perfect location

We truly enjoyed our stay in this condo! Beautiful location right on the pass….loved watching the boats go by from our large covered terrace. We saw sooo many dolphin right off the beach…beautiful sunsets! The unit is located on Holiday Isle, which is a quiet residential area just off hwy 98. Felt very safe while out walking, enjoying the local marinas. Many restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Unit was exceptionally clean, beds super comfortable, and kitchen well stocked with anything you could need. Easy check in process, would definitely stay here again!

Owners were awesome! Great communication despite a few issues at the property.

I really enjoyed the location as it is on the harbor and not on the ocean. We located a public beach (O’Steen) nearby and we’re able to walk there from the property. The condo had everything we needed and more.
