The Lazy Dolphin I is the perfect place to relax and unwind, sit on the lanai with a cup of coffee and watch the dolphins who like to hang out right at the shores edge! They have been known to make trips to this area several times a day for feeding, thus came the name, The Lazy Dolphin! This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has everything you need! The kitchen is fully stocked from a crock pot, griddle, blender, french coffee press, to pots and pans and bakeware. The master bedroom has a king size bed with ensuite bathroom and the guest bedroom has a queen size bed, both with cozy furnishings. The second bathroom is off of the kitchen. The master bedroom and living room both have cable T.V. while the guest room has Roku T.V. so you can stream all your favorite shows on Netflix, Hulu, & more. There are also several movies and board games for when Mother Nature is not being cooperative. The screened in lanai has a BBQ grill and plenty of seating for the whole family. Directly in front of the driveway is a walk over mini bridge for beach access at your own little private beach! In the fenced in backyard there is a outdoor shower for easy clean up after the beach. Come have some fun in the sun at The Lazy Dolphin!! Our new addition to the rental market, The Lazy Dolphin II can also be rented for extra space or by other guests.

Wonderful place with dolphins across the street!

This was an excellent place to stay. It is right on a small beach frequented by playful dolphins! We really enjoyed watching them in the mornings when the water is calm. The property is close to larger beaches and shopping and eating areas. We loved being close to Carrabelle, Apalachicola, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and Crawfordville. The opening to beach access directly across the street is overgrown and would be easier to see and enjoy if it were incuded in the lawn service. The porch would be more enjoyable if the chairs were cleaner and the decor more inviting. The seating areas would be better if the furniture were updated. Overall this was a great place to stay and enjoy the area.

Relaxing

Lovely beachfront getaway. Loved the natural setting and no crowds. The property is nice and has been updated well. The kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of outdoor fun to be had. Beach chairs, PFDs, kayaks, grill on site. The backyard could use a little attention, but all in all good experience.

Enjoyed but only once

The property was nice but had a moldy smell. There were a few things we thought would be at the house based on the description that were not there like beach towels. We had to purchase when would have just brought from home.

Beach Getaway

The house is cute and relatively clean. The house was equipped with everything you might need and a fenced in backyard for our dogs to use. The king size bed was comfortable. The screened-in Lanai allowed us to enjoy the sounds of the waves. Dolphin sightings almost daily. The "private beach" is difficult to use. There are tree stumps & debris all over the beach. However, the public beach is a very short walk & there are hermit crabs to explore that live on the tree stumps and rocks on the beach. The only issue that we encountered was after a storm and the electric had flashed our thermostat seemed to keep resetting itself to a higher temperature. All night I was fighting with this thermostat and the next day I got a call from Patty, who asked me to keep the thermostat at 68. I have a disability and I suffer from heat intolerance so it was hard for me to be comfortable at this temperature but I was trying to compromise. The next night I woke up sick because someone had reset the temp to 70°. I reached out to the rental company and found the owner had been resetting my thermostat. After I explained to them that my need for the lower temp was a medical condition, they obliged and we did not have another issue. I was a bit perturbed at this because there was nothing in the rental agreement or house rules that gave a limitation on house temperatures. All in all, we would stay again just with the understanding that I need the house a little bit cooler than the average person.
