All 9 of us felt this vacation exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect. Our grandson loved having a park and splash pad nearby and the adults loved nightly walks for ice cream. The house has a fantastic pool area stocked with games and toys for all. Best of all, right on the beautiful beach!
We had a wonderful time at The Blue Dolphin. Brad is very responsive. The house is PERFECTLY located on the beach AND in walking distance to many fun shops. Everyone in our group were different age ranges and there was something for everyone. The pool is huge, clean, and relaxing. We were able to walk to the donut shop whuch had great bagels as well, ice cream store, the Wednesday farmers market, and the gift shop. Brad's home on Anastasia Island had so much to offer inside and out.
Great location, steps from the beach and walking distance to restaurants, coffee, etc. House is as shown online. We liked the layout including the deck & pool. Our only issue was with cleanliness
Perfect FL cottage on the beach. Beautiful sunrises & the beach is quite entertaining but definitely family oriented. Blue Dolphin was a treasure. So glad we found it. Hoping to return again.
Our family came from Michigan to St Augustine to get some warmth. Brads beach home did not disappoint! It was spacious enough for myself, husband and 3 little kids as well as my mom and brother who joined us. Not having to pack up beach toys, coolers, etc in the car was amazing it was just a few short steps to the beach. Brad was an outstanding host and we would certainly come back. Thank you, Brad!
The home is quite spacious, but it has a lovely cozy vibe. Lots of items for the beach and pool that weâve always lugged on vacation, are provided by the owner (beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, pool toys, beach towels). This is the first time we were able to take our dogs on vacation with us, and we all loved the memories we were able to make. We definitely will rent again!
This beach house was perfect in so many ways for our family. The home was spacious and had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking right out onto the beach and then returning to jump in the pool. In the evenings we walked to dinner and ice cream. We will definitely return !!!!!
Brad was great to work with. Over all cleaning could use a little work. Lots of dog hair. Master bedroom is great but it is the only room that has an ocean view. Kids loved the pool and the beach area was also very nice.Everything turned out very good just disappointed that the only view of the ocean was from the master.
Love this place exspecialy having a private pool. Wish there would have been some steps down to ocean hard to climb back up with our 86 year old mother.
With super helpful and communicative hosts, plenty of amenities to ease the stay and a spectacular beachfront location with spacious pool and wrap around deck, we soaked up all the sun, fun and adventures St Augustine had to offer. With a rustic charm on a private road, we thoroughly enjoyed playing in the pool, hanging on the deck and exploring the beach/ ocean right out our front door. It didnât disappoint and made our reunion more splendid. Highly recommend this location, host and niche along the northern Atlantic of FL. A hidden gem with its close proximity to the historic downtown as well.
We were able to book this beautiful house at the last minute for my son's 16th birthday. The boys had a great time at the beach surfing most of the day then hanging out in the pool! This property had all the boxes checked for us. Plus the host Brad is Awesome and super helpful! We will be staying again!!
I purchased the house 25 years ago, with hopes that someday I will retire in Saint Augustine (my favorites city in the country). My family tries to spend as much time at Blue dolphin as we can, when the house is not rented. I enjoy relaxing at the beach, eating at Beach Comber or Salt Life (both walking distance along the beach) and riding my bike along the beach to explore. And I should not forget boogie boarding (there are always great waves).
This house was made for families. The pool the beach and the charm of a unique beach house built in 1936. There are guests that have stayed at blue dolphin when they were very young and remember the great times. Most guests include grandchildren, children and grandparent.
