Perfect Hub for all FLA Gulf coast adventures
Dolphin Cove was the perfect rental for our recent family vacation. Amenities galore, kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, stove, oven, fridge, TVs, Cable and COFFEE MAKER... all the essentials for a fun-filled vacation, home away from home. Everything you can think of was supplied. Less than 1 mile to shop for food etc. Centrally located to many of the popular gulf coast attractions in the Tampa area. Our teenage son attended wakeboarding camp 5 mins from house. We visited Wikki Wachee Spring State Park, New Port Richey, Tarpon Springs and Clearwater Beach. Fished right off the dock in backyard and even saw manatees and dolphins there too. Easy access to Gulf. Sunsets were amazing, especially at Hudson Beach. Communication with property manager was super easy and they were quick to respond Plenty of room for large families. Would 100 percent recommend. Thank you for a much needed respite from the hustle and bustle.

NIce peaceful waterfront property
House was on canal that led out to gulf and Hudson beach area. lots of toys for use (kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, etc). nice hammock and patio area. way too hot most days to enjoy the backyard. house well equipped with linens and kitchen gear. has a fire ring and gas grill we did not use, too HOT! beautiful decor. huge kitchen and gathering area. one bedroom does not have any walls/doors for privacy-- there are screens you can use. main bedroom suite had door and so did the twin daybed room. TV in main bedroom and out in living area. laundry room well equipped. close to Walmart and other shops/food. nice location. thank you.

Except for issues with the house staying cool in the afternoons we thoroughly enjoyed it. Record heat levels during the days we were there didn’t help. Bring a fire stick though, the cable system is not user friendly.

On Canal
We loved that the home was on a canal and had a dock. The negatives outweighed the positives for me and we left early. There were ants everywhere, even got into our food, the no-see ems were horrible and stopped us from sitting outside, we are from Daytona and not used to this. There is nowhere to go to get out of the weather so if you want to grill or try to sit outside there is no shade or umbrella. The living room tv got about 4 channels that we could figure and the bedroom was Roku and we didn’t understand it, we are older and are used to cable.

Beautiful Home
My spouse and I stayed for the entire month of December and the home was well equipped with plenty of towels, dishes, pots, pans and pretty much everything we needed. Very peaceful and quiet area with great view to bird watch in the backyard. There was even a manatee in the canal. The next door neighbor Rick is a fantastic guy and very welcoming. Had great communication with Larry and was quick in responding to any of our needs. Highly recommend this home.

Dolphin Cove 11/22
We enjoyed our month long stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet yet close to everything we needed. We enjoyed the back yard watching a variety of birds and jumping fish. The highlight was seeing a dolphin pass by in the canal on the first morning. We didn't like the noseeums but they sure liked us. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. Thank you

Listing was great; host was available and answered promptly. The only issue we had with the property was the bugs (even with ant traps out, we still had ants) and the bugs at night made going into the backyard unbearable.

All was as described. The property has plenty of room and is well stocked with essentials. Our boat was easy to dock and the launch is not too far away. We found a great deli nearby with prepared meals and a great selection of meats (no seafood though). This home is the best cost / amenities we have found in the Hudson area on the water.

Sunny Relaxing Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Dolphin Cove home. It was spacious, very comfortable, bright, and tastefully decorated. The canal was awesome — every day we saw many interesting birds, dolphins and manatees! We loved sitting outside on the patio as well. Unfortunately, there is a safety issue with the dock. There was only one wobbly handrail, the other was laying in the yard. In addition one of the cables that attach it to the sea wall broke during a storm and high tide and the ladder pulled out of the rotten deck boards as well. I am hopeful that the owner will be able to have the dock replaced / repaired as soon as possible so it is safe for everyone. Overall, though, we had a wonderful stay at this lovely, well-appointed home.
