About this property

Premium - 1BR 1BA BEACHFRONT Condo on the Gulf -new BEACH, no pool, VIEW+++

Your personal Sanctuary................... elegant, professionally decorated, private, quiet and conveniently located on the 5th floor of 'B' building in the Dolphin Way community. This 1BR unit is 10% LARGER than the typical 1BR unit. (Size is important!) It is located directly on the beach and only steps (135 feet) from the sugar-white sand. Dolphin Way is a gated 4+ Acre community with 400+ feet of beautiful beach frontage and ONLY 75 owners, located on the north end of the very private Little Hickory Island in an area known as Hickory Point. At many times you may feel as though you have your own Personal beach. As you can see in the pictures, the community is meticulously maintained with an unusual amount of green space. The first level is for your covered and Reserved parking. Elevators are available in each building. No walking up 5 flights of stairs with groceries in hand. This unit, although located on the 4th floor, is on the 5th level as the first level is for parking (not true for all communities). You have the uncontested BEST view of the beach and the grounds. From the beach you can see an illuminated Naples or Sanibel at night. Truly impressive visuals from this unit. It has a Penthouse view without the Penthouse price.

If you don't care about the details, read no more.

The unit has been completely renovated and upgraded with very high quality materials and furnishings. This premium unit has chair rail moldings throughout, special decorative trim on the doors and crown moldings. The entry, hallway, bathroom, lanai and kitchen have imported travertine earthtone tile. The Family Room and MBR in have soft plush carpeting to keep your tootsies warm. The kitchen has custom cherry cabinets with Professional series stainless steel appliances. The new built-in Samsung microwave also has a convection feature. The new range has an induction 4 burner ceramic top, convection oven and built in air fryer. The french door refrigerator and bottom freezer also has an ice maker. And when it is time to clean up, the new Samsung dishwasher makes the clean up incredibly simple. Want to elevate your legs, then relax in the family room with His and Hers power foot rest leather recliners. Watch your favorite movie or game show on the Samsung smart 55" flat screen SUHD TV. Use the Xfinity1 on Demand with voice command to view all of your favorite shows for viewing on YOUR schedule. NFLX has been added to the Xfinity lineup. Enjoy your favorite music selections on the Yamaha receiver. Klipsch surround speakers give you an awesome listening experience, regardless of your audio choice. The upgraded individual (3 section) motorized hurricane shutters can be raised or lowered effortlessly by the touch of a button, conveniently located Inside the unit. No need to get wet when it's time to lower the shutters. The upgraded Turtle Tinted glass sliders opening to the lanai, have Movable (not fixed) panels that allow you to open up the space to either side (your preference) and have 67% of the glass area open at anytime vs the usual 33% opening. This permits twice the airflow into the unit and increased accessability to and from the lanai. Could it be any easier? The MBR has a Samsung 40' Smart TV mounted on the wall. There is a folding chair if you choose to sit next to the bedroom sliders and watch TV.
Recently remodeled bathroom with step-in shower and beautiful champagne gold fixtures. (pictures to come)
You will share a washer and dryer, just down the hall walkway 23 steps from the front door, with not more than 1 other owner on the floor. Each floor has its own washer and dryer. Secure wireless high speed internet services are provided through Comcast with recently added wireless extenders for a quick internet experience . A wireless Epson all in one printer is available to print, scan or copy your directions to local dining establishments or shopping malls or your boarding pass just before you leave. You may call family and friends back home to share the local weather forecast and temperatures. Go ahead, rub it in!!! Significant savings over Diamond Head, Pink Shell Beach Resort, Lover's Key or other comparable beachfront hotels. International visitors welcome. Extended stays are available. I suggest you call me before you attempt to book online to discuss your potential visit.

Perfect Getaway
Beautiful condo in a quiet and peaceful community. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked with all the essentials plus unexpected spices and storage containers. The owner was very responsive and accommodating, a real pleasure to work with. This could very well be the best rental we have ever stayed in and we were not ready to leave when our time was up.

Spectacular View
Everything was exactly as promised in the description. Quiet, peaceful condo directly on the beach. A perfect place to enjoy the beach and the view, without the crowds of hotels and resorts; although still close to shopping and restaurants. The ocean view was amazing from the lanai, especially the sunset. Mr. Miller was in frequent text contact as I arrived to make sure that I had everything I needed. Sparkling pool, a variety of equipment for the beach. I had never rented a private home before and didn't know quite what to expect. The condo was beautiful and spotless, well stock with incidentals. Mr. Miller was very welcoming and helpful. I will definitely rent from him again in the future.

Beautiful view!
Location of condo was amazing with beautiful sunsets every night. Restaurants and shops close by. It sits in between Ft Myers and Naples, without the busyness. We enjoyed walks on the beach daily. Stephen was great to work with and let us know everything that was supplied in the condo. Which I must say was the best stocked condo we've stayed in. It was so nice to know what we did or didn't need to pack. The only minor negative was that there are no umbrellas by the pool for shade , but that's not Stephen's fault. Thanks for a great vacation!

Rest and relaxation
The perfect place to enjoy the beach - sand sun and surf. The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities and the best part was the view. Sunsets were gorgeous and it was just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing time. Stephen was very accommodating and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Dolphin Way Vacation
The condo I rented was great. My only complaint was the last 3 days they were renovating the penthouse above me. Jack hammers were a little much. The beach was in the best shape I have seen it in for a long time. The condo was great and very comfortable. Thanks Stephen.

Beautifully maintained, inside and out
This is a lovely condominium,and the owner couldn’t be more attentive and helpful. Stephen is always available to tend to any detail you may need help with. This was our second time staying in Dolphin Way in this condominium and it won’t be our last time. The weather was fantastic, the beach is gorgeous and uncrowded. There are many wonderful places to shop and dine close by.

My wife and I have stayed here the last two Januarys and we will be staying here again this January. This condo has far exceeded our expectations. When you open the shutters you have a magnificent view of the gulf and you can see dolphins on a daily basis. The owner is a true gentleman who pays attention to detail, maintains the condo in perfect condition, has it extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and always checks with you upon your arrival to make sure everything is okay. It is quiet since it is on a cul-de-sac and the beach is not crowded which is nice. There are many good restaurants, a grocery store, and retail businesses of all kinds within a few minutes drive. A beachfront paradise with all the conveniences of home!

My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to stay at this condo for spring break April 2014. The first week we had our two children (14 & 18) with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The condo has everything you can think of and even things you might forget. A printer, portable GPS, Netflix, Wi-Fi, etc. The bed was extremely comfortable and I woke up one morning and forgot where I was. I slept very well. The Kitchen is beyond normal. The appliances were state of the art. The condo unit is on the forth floor and the views from the lanai are simply amazing. Almost every night we would go down to the beach and watch some of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Florida. We would take nice walks on the beach, which was just restored in 2013. In the late afternoon, we would sit down by the shore with our toes in the water. The owner has chairs in a storage locker and they were like brand new. My wife and I have been coming to Florida for the last 15 years and I can say this was one of our top 2 trips. We love the Bonita Beach area and would not hesitate to stay here again. The owner was very sincere and great to work with. We stayed in touch by texting and he only contacted us to see how we were doing and if we had any problems. We had no major issues, but did have a very minor water problem from the penthouse above, which was taken care of immediately. The residents were exremely nice. There are numerous restaurants in close proximity and they all have great food and reasonable prices. Doc's is a a must go to restaurant and is only two (2) miles down the beach - Great food and atmosphere. If you want a relaxing vacation with no worries, this is a great place to stay. It has everything you can imagine and the views are beautiful. We will be back!!!

Second time in paradise
My wife and I have just returned to sunny Scotland after our second visit to the condo. I suppose coming back says it all. This is the best unit in the complex. When we opened the shutters, gosh! The view is simply stunning. Eating your breakfast on the lanai, watching the dolphins is a memory we take back to remember during the long winter. The owner is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. He has the unit stocked with every amenity imaginable. From state of the art wi-fi and HD tv's to the most comfortable beds and pillows imaginable. It is so quiet and relaxing that it got we hardly left the island. We stocked the huge new fridge and just relaxed in a beautiful location. The owners description doesn't really do it justice. For the ultimate in relaxation and comfort this is the place. Everyone is so friendly too. We met a lot of nice people and enjoyed a cocktail at the most gorgeous sunsets imaginable. Oh! Did I mention the views? Angela & Russell

Awesome beach front property with perfect ocean and pool views
Thank you for providing us with wonderful vacation accomodations during our May 2011 stay. We were very pleased that your description of your condo was what we actually found upon arrival. The many extras you offer your guests came in handy; especially the printer and free long distance phone service . We spent much of our time on the lani enjoying the water views and listening to the waves. The few steps to the pool and beach were the best we could have hoped for. We plan to return to your little heaven on earth when time permits. Bonita Springs is very accessible and offers lots of options for vacationers. Thanks again for offering such a fine unit.

We enjoyed a great two (2) week stay in this unit over the 09/10 Holiday period. The description provided on the VRBO page is 100% accurate. This condo has great views; it is well equiped, clean and very comfortable. The complex is convenient to everything you need and very quiet. During our stay we especially enjoyed the location and we had absolutely no problems what so ever. We would strongly recommend this condo to anyone desiring a beach front location that has all of the amenities that you need for an excellent get away. Pam & Bob

This is the epitome of comfort and escape.
We just relaxed - sat on the lanai, walked the beach, paddled in the pool, enjoyed the sun and warmth. Ohio is just not this nice in April! The weather was great - 80-85 everyday, with cool mornings & evenings. The sunsets are extraordinary!! The condo is beautiful and very well maintained. Everything you could possibly want is here. We would love to stay longer, and we would definitely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Miller

Host profile image
Young couple from the Hoosier Heartland looking for a quick getaway with a change in latitude and a change in attitude. We swapped a week at our RCI time-share for a week at a friend's condo in the Dolphin Way community. After we enjoyed a very relaxing vacation in this small, private beachfront setting, we decided to consider a possible purchase of our 2nd home.

Why they chose this property

We just fell in love with the community. Everyone we met was nice. We participated in the ritual of watching the evening sunsets with friends and fizzies. We can get to our condo with a direct flight in about 2 hrs and 15 minutes. Pick up the rental car and be on the beach in another 30 minutes. The flights are readily available and very reasonable, so we can go on the spur of the moment. The views from the lanai will leave you awe-struck!!! The change of environment immediately changes your facial expression to a big smile!! Quite a change from the CPA business in Bloomington, IN!!

What makes this property unique

There is an excellent selection of restaurants in the area . The weather, compared to our northern exposure in central Indiana is usually very favorable. Being here at the condo is an opportunity to get away from the busy hustle and bustle of running a business, telephones ringing, deadlines approaching and trying to meet budgets. Depending on the season, we can just sit on the lanai view the Gulf, the beach, and listen to the windchimes while enjoying the morning coffee and juice.
