If you haven't been to Holiday Isle, you are in for a treat. A peninsula surrounded by The Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor, it is a serene, little oasis within the heart of Destin with two and a half miles of paved trails for walking and biking. This ideal location is just minutes away from restaurants, shopping, boat docks, fishing, golf, and amusements.

Guests can seek dining and entertainment on the second floor. Entering the second floor you are comforted by the traditional coastal appeal. A comfortable living room with a large flat-screen TV, sleeper sofa, and a balcony that overlooks the Gulf welcome you. This townhouse is complete with a fully equipped kitchen and stainless steel appliances. In addition, this space is furnished with a dining table that seats six and allows for plenty of dining space.

Also, an ensuite bathroom with a spa-style tub, dual glass sinks, and a walk-in closet are found in this suite. The final bedroom is furnished with a set of twin bunks, a twin/twin trundle daybed, and a private bathroom.

Dolphin Cove is the perfect home to make family memories. An easy walk along the beach will take you to the jetties, where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet.

Great week!

It’s always a worry that “pet friendly” will smell bad and this rental did not smell bad. They also provided 3 beach chairs and umbrellas for our use. 5 min walk to the beach. The beach area was awesome with low waves so it was great for floating. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Drip coffee pot but no Keurig which was fine for us. Beds were super comfortable!! Showers had great water pressure! We had a great stay!

Great house!

Would recommend putting some type of visual warning for the step on the top balcony. It’s painted to where it blends in and one of my kids and myself both fell down it, missing the step because we didn’t see it. Wonderfully updated. Fully stocked with appliances and accessories. I loved the amount of towels and extra sheets provided and they were wrapped to keep them clean. Lots of space for larger family. The umbrella set up in front of the house are not available to rent (hotel only) so you have to walk farther down to the left to get a beach spot. If you don’t mind a small work out, it’s a quieter location. Lots of boat drop off/pick up throughout the day, but relatively quiet. Would definitely come back!

Awesome house, plenty of room, everything you would need. not much parking area. There is a garage but if you have two full size trucks parking one in the garage is out of the question.

Spring Break

Beautiful spacious property that came with everything we need to enjoy our stay. Property is three levels...king room on 1st level, main area on the 2nd level and 2 king rooms on the 3rd level. Beautiful views of the beach from the main level and the 3rd level. Location is ideal for resturants and attractions...short drive to the outlets. Family friendly location.

A rough walk to Walmart cove.

The property was as described, clean, well stocked. Extremely friendly property management company, probably the best I’ve ever booked with really. The property location, is not ideal. The cove is a hike to get to, and the reward for your arrival is not there. I named it Walmart cove for a reason. There’s a constant flow of boats from Emerald Isle dropping off guests, as well as multiple commercial snorkel boats. The only waves you get here come from passing boats. The sand feels weird, you don’t get much of a breeze. Our group decided we needed the actual ocean, so made the 1/4 mile trek to see the real waves instead. It’s not a bad place, but we won’t be staying here again.

We had a blast!!!

Everything was amazing. The only "problem" we had was with the Emerald Grand people and their claiming the beach, but it worked out because there is a nicer area away from those folks and their blue chairs a little farther down the beach. Will totally stay here again!!

Almost but not quite

Updated part great. Area no. Looked like on beach but not, area belonged to lg hotel do we had to walk far to get to cramped beach, inlet, not open ocean, I’m 67 and grandson 5 , long way to walk even for my adult kids 29 to 37 urs. Boys at beach even took down my tent before I got back😡the bottom patio area was flooded and slimy from rain, hubby slipped and hurt his arm badly.😠someone complained about our temporary parking car for 30 minutes😩even people next door complained about beach walk. Pics are deceiving. O, they did fix the broken dishwasher, nasty!but didn’t fix the garage door opener the whole week. I just wanted a short walk to open ocean , total ocean views 😟

Non accessible beach

This house is nice but the listing is misleading. The beach that the property is on does not belong to the townhomes. It is reserved for use by resort guests only during the day. Townhome guests can only use the beach before 9:30am and after 6pm.

Best Ever!

We absolutely loved Dolphin Cove. Because of the double red flags that were up on the beaches, if we had not stayed in Dolphin Cove, our kids would not have been able to swim our entire vacation. Dolphin cove is in the cove where the waves are not big, and you can let your kids swim in the water without worry. We also got to swim so close to the dolphins that we could hear them breathe through their blowhole. Hands down best vacation I’ve ever had. We will return !

Absolutely Amazing

Our stay at Dolphin Cave was an excellent break from the pandemic. We (a family of four) enjoyed our stay at a beautiful townhouse with the beach as our back yard and an amazing unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. The townhouse was in a quiet and serene community. Bedrooms were large and comfortable; all with private bathrooms and large TV’s. The three-story townhouse was equipped with everything that you could imagine.
