Another great week!

Another great Spring Break week was spent with our families at Casa Dolphina! Fabienne & Gerold are the best hosts and we couldn’t have asked for a better house for our 2 families to stay at again this week! There was plenty of space for all of us & it had all the amenities we needed. Our kids had the best week swimming, sitting in the hot tub, kayaking to the private island, fishing off the dock, and just hanging out & being kids. We will be back again next year!

Best property and hosts near St Pete's!

We have stayed at Casa Dolphina many times. It is in a good location. The view of the water and skyline from the pool area is amazing, we see dolphins near the seawall on a daily basis, and the gracious and attentive hosts are the best.Greg

Paradise revisited

We are three senior sisters and their husbands who have found Casa Dolphina to be the perfect place for a yearly get together. This was our fourth visit with our fifth reserved. We keep returning since the amenities check all of our boxes, inside and out. Fabienne and Gerold are the perfect hosts who know how to make it known you are appreciated.

Winter RX

First of all our hosts were awesome, secondly we experienced a private outside oasis that was great for the littlest (2 months to the oldest 86 yr old in our family. We are a four generation family that loves being together and we had ample bedrooms, baths, a well supplied kitchen and three large tables we could eat and share time together.Our son-in law found his way to the dock every chance he had to catch fish, mostly small but still loved it. We had dophin shows frequently.

Amazing vacation

We picked this location due to all the amenities it had, that I thought would be great for my family. The hosts were excellent and super helpful with any of our questions or needs and was always there whenever we had a question or a need. Super friendly couple! My boys love fishing and we were able to fish right off the dock. We were visited by dolphins and stingrays every single morning around 7:30-8:30! We loved it! The property was beautiful and the boys loved playing pool, fishing, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub. The beds were super comfortable! The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare my meals. We wanted to stay another week and most definitely will be back if we go to that area again!

This is a great property

This was our second stay at Casa Dolphina and it did not disappoint. Very comfortable property. Well appointed and had everything 9 adults could ask for. We loved spending time on the lanai and in the dining room. Beautiful sunsets. The home is close to shopping and events. The owners are very welcoming and thoughtful individuals. Can't say enough about the home.

Simply the BEST

Myself and 8 others found casa dolphina to be one of our favorite trips that we’ve ever been on (personally I put it at the top of my list of vacations) - the location is so beautiful it’s hard to put into words, besides the stunning views and activities offered at the house it is in a very convenient (and beautiful) location, easy to get to and with very short drives to and from popular locations such as downtown Saint Pete’s and the beaches (nothing was ever further than 30 minutes away) the house had every amenity you would need for a long trip and honestly you could stay at the house for every day of your trip and still have a blast. In conclusion 10/10 Hosts, 10/10 location and a 10/10 experience Fabienne and Gerold made it a point to make us feel special and also were super cooperative and communicative, we would not have had such a great trip without them!

Our Home for the Holidays

This property was perfect for our family holiday stay! The view and amenities were amazing and close to so many other activities! (Beach, shopping, Dinner cruises, etc.) There were plenty of dolphin sightings, fishing off the pier, time in the pool/hot tub...and several family meals courtesy of the large outdoor gas grill. We were a family of 6 adult couples with lots of room and plenty to do. The home was well equipped with all essentials, and you really only need to grab a few groceries, unpack and you're home! We also could not have asked for a better VRBO host! They were so welcoming and immediately responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We definitely plan to come back and highly recommend this property!

Perfection!

My family and our close friends spent a week at Casa Dolphina. The property exceeded our expectations. The owners were absolutely the nicest people. Fabienne and Gerold greeted us with a homemade baked Tart which everyone enjoyed for breakfast. From kayaking to fishing, corn hole and playing pool at night… there were so many things to do. The owners made sure we had everything we needed. We cannot wait to go back!! I think we have found our forever VRBO rental in St Pete at Casa Dolphina ❤️

Beautiful Morning - Amazing Sunsets

Our stay at this waterfront paradise was nothing short of magical! This was not our first time renting this property, and we will be back again! The property exceeded expectations with its breathtaking views and thoughtful amenities. Waking up and enjoying coffee on the deck overlooking the water was pure bliss. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature’s beauty. We are already planning my next family stay!

Labor Day weekend with friends

A group of friends and I get together every year for Labor Day weekend (20 years and still going) and this year we rented this place. It was one of our best vacations ever, So relaxing, lots of free amenities ie pool, pool table, hot tub, kayaks, grill, comfortable space for all of us, great layout of the house, close to a small island to explore, large bedrooms with comfortable beds, views that make you never want to leave, boat dock to tie up too, the owners that go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and were so kind to bring us some welcome goodies and a sweet parting gift (Thank you so much!!). If you rent this place, you will not regret it. We will definitely be back and can't wait to enjoy this place again.

Life IS Beautiful!

Today I am home after a week at this luscious property and I can't even get out of bed. I'm depressed - I admit it. Because our vacation was summer perfection. What a wonderful week we had at this glittering, immaculate gem. The lovely hosts greeted us with homemade cupcakes and candy and a wish for a super time. We cooked, we swam, we cooked, we jumped back in the pool. We played actual pool in the Billiard Room. We lounged in the Media Room. And we cooked some more. Then back into the water. The home has everything you could want for - kayaks and launching dock, hot tub, huge pool deck/patio, outside putting green, comfortable private bedrooms, fully-stocked kitchen and a huge dining room table for meals, games and puzzles. There are plenty of things to do and see in the area but if you can spend the day floating in a pool and waving at boats going by - why would you leave? But we had to - eventually. We left with a ton of pictures and a beautiful thank you gift from our wonderful hosts Fabienne & Gerold! We will be back. Soon!

We arrived as tropical storm Debbie passed by. Even though the weather was bad for a day and half we had plenty of fun utilizing the game room to play pool, board games to entertain ourselves. After the storm passed we had beautiful weather and was able to soak up the sun by the pool, The girls loved the pool and the guys loved fishing from the dock where they caught dinner a couple days. The owners were awesome and. Rey responsive to any questions or needs we had before and during our stay. We will definitely come back to stay again. The house had everything we wanted and needed for a wonderful and friends vacation.
