This home was perfect for 5. Felt like all of us had our own space and we were close to everything. An arcade, pier, shops, restaurant, and gravity park.

Thank you for your review, glad everyone had a great time. Jibber and Laura
Had a wonderful weekend- the location is ideal, across the street from the grocery store and short walk to the beach. Located on dead end street next to the bay. Wonderful communication with owners and easy checkin process
Our second visit to this home was as enjoyable as the first. The owners take great care of their property. Thank you, Jibber and Laura, for a comfortable and peaceful stay!
Place was equipped with all the essentials. Quiet location near almost everything we wanted to do. Will definitely book again

Mary and Doug, It's always wonderful to have guests that appreciated our house and take care of everything. You are most welcome to book anytime and come enjoy South Padre Island and the Dolphin House.
Jibber and Laura
Perfect place to stay, especially now during COVID! The place has a washer and drier for you to wash sheets if you would like to and you don’t have to worry about bumping into people passing by while staying at a hotel. It was very clean and a great location on the bayside, with just a walk away for any fisherman leaving boats at Jim’s Pier.

It was great having you stay at the Dolphin House. Thank you for leaving it as clean as you found it.
Jibber
Love staying at this house. It is centrally located, easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and things to do Can launch kayaks into the lagoon just half a block away. About 5 blocks away to the public beach. Or straight down the main road to the bigger area of the beach. The owners were great to talk to, great with communication I would have to say, “ A must stay.”
We only have good things to say about our 6 week stay here. Jibber and Laura take great care of their property and their guests. The house was clean and comfortable and the outside landscaping was beautiful....we loved the tropical flowers and plants.
Thanks for making us feel at home. We would definitely stay again.

Picture can don’t show how nice this property is. It truly felt like home away from home. Had everything my family I needed for our stay. Truly walking distance for food, beach, groceries and shopping. House was so clean and taken care of.

Thank you for staying at the Dolphin House and being responsible guests.
Jibber
Our stay was fantastic, the home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of room for our guest and great parking. The location on SPI was the absolute best. Jibber, the owner/host was a superb host. He answered text immediately and addressed any questions we had even faster and was very accommodating. Definitely will be back next year!

Loved the bamboo theme and beautiful stained glass! Jibber was so friendly and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The beds were comfy, but the showers were amazing, super water pressure!! Close proximity to everything! The only downfall was the sewer construction that had the road tore up. Overall we would definitely book again!!
