Welcome to Treasure Island! Enjoy the Gulfside's uncrowded pedestrian beach (no cars allowed for 300 yards but golf carts welcomed) where you can set up your group's spot for the day on the beach to build sandcastles, jump in the surf, find unique shells and sand dollars, boogie board, shore & surf fish and build an evening bonfire.

Grandson 12 birthday surprise
I planned this family gathering for my grandson who turn 12 and it was amazing. The beach house was beautiful and he enjoyed it so much. He and his cousins lived the view of the beach. The kid friendly room upstairs was awesome. Even my 2 yr old had the bed time ever. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Next time we will do later date as the beach was still a little cold for me. Thank you

Just what we needed!
We had a total of 11 people this year! 5 adults, and 6 kids! It was perfect, and never felt crowded! We loved that the kids had their own space to play and sleep, and that they were even able to run around and play outside without the adults having to worry too much about anything happening! We loved the proximity to the beach, just a short walk down the road! And it was so quiet compared to the bustle of the main island! Will definitely be returning!

Family Fun
Super fun house layout with kids bunked upstairs. Plenty of room for all 13 of us to hang out when not on the beach. Kitchen was well equipped for our cooking needs. The wagon was a lifesaver for our daily walk to the beach. Saw lots of dolphins. My youngest son loved fishing from the shore. We had a great time! Bring many cans of bug spray. The mosquitoes are ravenous!

Overall Great Place
Overall a great stay and the property description was great. Overall have zero complaints. Heads up - mosquitos are horrible after about 7pm. I would recommend the company do deeper cleaning in the master bathroom shower as you could see some mildew that was missed and the shower curtain was covered in mildew stains. Other than that, had a great time and we all enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely stay again

We enjoyed four days at the house. All of us played on the beach - swimming, collecting seashells and building a sand palace. We were able to grill a couple of meals at the house. The grandkids loved the third floor set up.

Sibling reunion in Freeport.
We had a wonderful time. This place was perfect for our group of older adults. There are stairs which is the norm on the coast. The size of the rooms and central location of the kitchen and living area make this house perfect for a small (8) adult gathering.

Amazing location😊
Had an amazing time, the location was perfect just little details here and there with broken things. The fridge doesn’t cool enough had to higher the temp in order to keep things cool. One of the sinks in the master bedroom was broken and the balcony had empty beer cans with cigarette buds inside them. Thank you😊

Great Views, Great Beach, Great Location, Great Amenities
So thrilled to have found this house for our family vacation! Great space for our family of 11, with all the comforts of home and benefits of being at the beach. The location was far enough removed from the "touristy" spots to feel private, but close enough to go see the sites. The beach was never too crowded, and is only a short easy walk from the house (1-2 blocks). We absolutely fell in love with everything and hope to make this our annual vacation spot!! ❤

Great place for families.
The house was very spacious and offered several sitting locations. The kitchen was large with a nice dining table that sat at least 10 people. The house was also well stocked with cooking essentials as well as a grill. The walk to the beach was short and pleasant. It is a great place for families to gather with young children as well as adults. Highly recommend.

5 Star Experience
We had such a great time at Blue Dolphin. There was so much space in the house to gather all together or spread out when needed. The grandkids (6, 4 & 3 years old) loved the upstairs bunk bed room and play area. They had no problem maneuvering the spiral stairs and the height of the bunk beds and rails on them made their parents comfortable with all 3 of the kids sleeping on the top bunks. Having a bathroom up there was super convenient too. The beds were soooo comfortable, the sheets and towels were super soft and clean. Really, we lacked for nothing. Communication between the property manager and owners was easy. Location to beach was close (having a wagon provided helped with hauling all our beach gear and tired kids every day). Recommend you grab your flashlights and look for crabs on the beach at night and check out the Bluewater Bar and Grill down the street. The beach was not crowded and clean. We had a stress free, enjoyable time. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space for us to vacation in.
