Wonderful view of the Matanzas area. Dolphins frequented the immediate dock area several times during our stay. The covered decks were helpful as they allowed us to enjoy being outdoors during both rainy and sunny days.

A relaxing and restful stay

We had such a wonderful stay here! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable, which made it especially relaxing. One of our favorite parts was watching dolphins right from the river view — such a special and peaceful experience. The setting was incredibly quiet and serene, making it the perfect place to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic views

We recently stayed here and enjoyed it immensely. We enjoyed the multiple decks, views, lower deck kitchen and fire pit. We grilled out and experienced some fantastic sunsets from the dock.

Dolphin Cove

We really enjoyed our stay with family of six and a couple dogs. It was a beautiful home with beautiful view from top two decks. So many small beaches to go to right up the road. Would stay again in heartbeat. Set up beautifuly for great family gathering and enjoying time together. The Shayla management company were wonderful and so easy to dealing with as well as extremely friendly. When pest control came out one day they called and kept us informed when they would be there. You can’t go wrong with this great house!!

Very nice! Could've been a bit cleaner, but overall it was worth it. Also there were a couple of pet stains in one of the bedrooms and on the stairs. Water damage coming from the upstairs bathroom, leaking through the floor onto the other stairs. This should be addressed sooner than later. I would stay here again, as it was beautiful.

Mixed Feelings

My family and I thourougly enjoyed the views of the water that the home provided and the kids LOVED chasing all the little crabs in the back by the dock. The dock was great for fishing but I found it misleading as to whether you can dock a boat there. We brought a boat and we’re unable to keep it at the house because of the tide which was not a part of the information in the house and would have been helpful being that we had to find a marina to accommodate us last minute on a holiday weekend and drive to and from the boat each day. BUT I should have also asked about boat access and I did not. The upstairs shower has old soaps and scum in it and my toddler niece found old food under the couch and the outdoor spaces did not appear to have been cleaned recently. The indoor spaces accommodated are family well but I think the bathrooms and entry ways need rugs to keep down the spread of dirt in the home. Overall we had a great time and would visit again if we don’t need our boat!

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re so glad to hear that your family enjoyed the views of the water and the fun moments by the dock! It’s wonderful to know the kids loved chasing the little crabs, and that the home provided a relaxing environment for your family getaway. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience regarding the boat dock. While it’s primarily intended for fishing and enjoying the canal views, we understand how additional details about its suitability for docking a boat could have been helpful. We’ll clarify this in our listing to ensure future guests have the right expectations. We also take cleanliness very seriously, and we regret that the home did not meet your expectations in certain areas. We have shared your comments with our cleaning team and will address these concerns immediately to maintain the highest standards. Additionally, we’ll consider your suggestion about adding rugs to entryways to minimize dirt tracking. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention, your feedback helps us improve. We’re thrilled that you had a great time overall and would love to host you again in the future. If your travels bring you back to the area, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
