Family enjoyed a week at the Dolphin Watch in Miramar Beach. The location and layout of the home is top notch. Direct access to the beach. Everything you need to enjoy your time on the water. Lots of places to hang out depending on your mood.. under a beach umbrella, on the deck in the sun, under the deck away from the sun, or on the sectional on a rainy day. House has everything you may need for your stay. It is showing wear that you would expect from being on the beach, but that did not damper our enjoyment of the property. Would definitely rent here again.

Relaxing Break

Decided we needed some sun after a rough, snowy mid-western January. A repeat annual visit to the Dolphin Watch rental was just what we needed. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We felt very secure in the house. Great location with lots of restaurants, shopping and golf courses in the area. The reservation process was quick and easy.

Beautiful home. Perfect for our family with a Million Dollar view. The house however needs some much needed TLC. However, with that being said, we would rent it again for our next trip and also recommend to others.

We loved our stay here. Only complaint we had was the people setting up their beach chairs and tent in our private beach space! Also would be nice if the property provided 6 chairs and umbrellas instead of 4. We loved our stay!!

Outstanding Stay

I have been coming to Destin for years now and stayed at several different properties with different rental agencies, this was by far the best experience we have had. The property was very clean and the rental company was very pro active throughout our stay. Excellent location and has more amenities than you could ever need. We have already booked next year at the same property with the same company.

Dolphin watch

Loved waking up to the beach and going to bed with the sounds of the waves! The attention to comfort in bedding and bath towels was exceptional. We also loved having beach chairs and umbrellas put out for us each day. We also loved being centrally located to shopping and dining. Thanks for a great vacation!

Relaxing Vacation

This was our second stay at Dolphin Watch. We found the same comfortable home, with easy beach access. The house was clean and neat and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. While on the deck on one of our last days, we were delighted to be entertained by a pod/herd of dolphins. Would definitely recommend.

Great house!

We had a great time at Dolphin Watch. The water is clear and calm, the beach is powdery white sand. Absolutely gorgeous. The house was perfect for us, with two primary bedrooms and a loft bedroom for our teenager. Having the golf cart was awesome too! Host was very responsive and kind when we had a question. Can’t say enough good things about this vacation!
