Summary: We had such a great stay at Dolphin Inn. Jorge communicated with us and was so helpful even before we got there. Check in was a breeze. The house was exactly as described and perfect for our three families to share for a week. Also - the house had absolutely every little thing you could need - beach chairs, umbrella, toys; fully stocked kitchen with any tools you might need; outlets set up everywhere. And everything labeled and accessible. If you want to feel like you are borrowing a friend’s home for the week, def stay here!
