Property is dated but functional. A house on the beach with tremendous views of the ocean and a private beach is the essence of the experience at this home. Watching the sun rise come over the horizon is special and spending time on the porches was relaxing and enjoyable. The host was excellent and responded quickly to a few minor issues that came up. Everything worked and we had a good experience.

Best house on S Ponte Vedra beach yet. We come yearly & this was the best location yet. House easily fit my big family & the upstairs extra “living room” was the perfect place for the kids to play while the grownups visited downstairs. Only improvement I would suggest is a direct path from the deck to the beach. But that was just a minor issue. Thanks again for a fabulous week.

Thank you for choosing our home. So glad it was the best location yet and that the house easily fit your large family—happy the upstairs living room worked well for the kids while the adults visited downstairs. Appreciate the suggestion about a direct path from the deck to the beach; I’ve passed it along to our team for consideration. Thanks again for a fabulous week and we’d love to host you again.

We stayed very comfortably in this home as a group of 11. Multi families and multiple ages. Two living rooms offered enough room for us to hang out in different parts of the house. All of the deck options were lovely, they are not connected from the outside and you do have to go inside to get to different levels. Although we brought our own beach gear and toys, there was a generous amount of options in the garage. Being just steps from the beach was the absolute highlight. And of course, having a view of the ocean from every room was also a treat.

Thank you for the review. Glad the home worked well for your group, nice to hear the two living rooms and separate decks gave everyone space and that the garage gear was useful. Being steps from the beach and ocean views from every room are hard to beat. We’d love to host you again.

Family Vacation

The location of the house is perfect! Beach was never crowded and so many things to do within 20 minute drive. Having 2 living areas was great for those who had to work while there. Everything needed for a relaxing beach day was in the garage.

Extended Family Trip

The proximity to the beach was 10/10. We loved being far enough away from “town” to enjoy the privacy but not too far away where we could drive in to Ponte Vedra or St Augustine for dinner. I cannot say enough good things about the property management. We had a minor inconvenience during our stay and they were on top of it immediately !! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Amazing views. Loved the rooftop deck. There was 24/7 support for issues, which was nice as we used it for internet issues. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms so great for a big group. The decks are amazing too and many hours were spent on them. This house is for sale though so booking far out might be a risk. As well, since it is for sale, some basic maintenance isn't being kept up. These are small things, but they add up. Loved the house though, loved the view, loved the decks, loved the sliding glass doors. Would stay again but would hesitate at the price if maintenance isn't kept up and if guaranteed to be available (not sold or buyer would honor reservation) Overall great experience and my family had a great time.

Lovely Beach Front Home

We had a very nice stay at Dolphin View! The views were amazing, we loved the 3 balconies and being able to walk right onto the beach. The placed provided a ton of beach chairs, beach toys, and towels. We had some issues with the wifi and the lock but they communicated quickly and resolved our issues quickly. We did notice mold on the vents and there was sand and a wrapper in one of the bunk beds, but everything else was in good condition.

Great location! Right on beach as pictured. Property company was very responsive to the few issues we had. A few things that future renters may want to know:Two living areas is awesome, especially if traveling with kids. Amazing views from 2nd and 3rd floors. Washer/dryer work great (April 2026)Lots of beach chairs and toys in garagePublix is 10-12 min awayTo get to the beach, you have to go down to the basement level and go through a bedroom, garage, or front door to then walk around to the beach. It would be amazing if steps were added to the main porch on the main floor that would lead directly to beach.Kitchen needs some additional baking dishes and utensils. Road is very, very busy. That’s going to be true of any beachfront property in this area. Beach is quiet tho, and this house isn’t near the public access.All in all, a wonderful house!

Great Trip

Wonderful vacation and we all enjoyed the home! A few minor things at the start but the team was responsive and quick to replace some items and get things sorted. The kitchen could use a few additions in the way of daily use items but overall worked well for us. The WiFi is not always reliable and affected the use of the TVs in some rooms as well as cell usage but again, not a big deal. The back deck and top deck are perfect for watching sunrise and sunset. It was also optimal viewing to watch a rocket launch from Canaveral! The beach is perfect and we were sad to leave. Overall we all enjoyed the home and were comfortable and happy! Thank you for sharing the home with us.

Great Location

The location of the house is amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed being directly on the beach. We had a minor issue come up and the management team was incredibly responsive and friendly. The beach chairs, clean propane grill, and beach floats were much appreciated amenities. The cleanliness of the house could be improved with a deep clean and the kitchen was not as well stocked as would be expected for a house that is advertised to accommodate 10 people. These are just minor improvement opportunities to move from a four star to a five star rating. But overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this property to others.

We are giving a 5-star rating to the management company. We were incredibly impressed by their responsiveness, professionalism, and patience. From the moment we booked, we felt well-cared for. A special thank you goes to Kat, who promptly came to the house to resolve an issue with the master bedroom TV and even replaced it with a brand new one. Sad to report, the brand new TV still didn't work due to weak Wifi connection. The service we received was outstanding, and we will definitely be renting from this company again.While we are thoroughly impressed with the management company, we would not rent this specific house again. The WiFi was a significant issue, and the only TVs that worked were the ones in the living rooms on the second and third floors. We had to rely on a phone hotspot for our son, who has autism, to watch TV in the master bedroom. Additionally, we were concerned that the only access to the beach was through the first floor inside the house, as none of the balconies provided direct access, which could be a potential fire safety concern.Despite the issues with the house itself, the management company exceeded our expectations. We look forward to booking one of their other properties for our next beach rental.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I’m glad our team was able to respond quickly and that you felt well looked after — we appreciate you noting that. I’m very sorry the replacement TV still didn’t work because of weak WiFi; that falls short of our standards. We appreciate you calling out what worked and what didn’t, and we’d welcome the chance to host you at another Portoro property in the future.
