Perfect port in a storm!
Our stay at Dolphin Bay was perfect. We arrived a couple of days before Hurricane Milton, being from the UK we had never experienced a hurricane before and didn’t know what to do, or what to expect. Alexis at itrip was extremely helpful, and Wolfgang, the owner explained that he spends a great deal of time tracking the storms and he was staying in his property. He also explained that the apartment was built to withstand a category 5 storm. We decided to stay. All the information Wolfgang provided turned out to be accurate and we came through the storm unharmed. We were even able to extend our stay when our next rental in Sarasota lost power during the storm and we were unable to stay there. Nothing was too much trouble for Wolfgang and Miki in making us feel safe and at home. The apartment is situated in a perfect waterside location, dolphin were seen everyday along with many different types of birds. Osprey were aplenty! The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped, it had everything we needed for our extended stay. We will most definitely look to come back here, thank you Wolfgang and Miki, and thank you to Alexis at itrip!

Amazing place
This was probably the best vrbo we have ever rented. Place was immaculate. Pool was super clean. The owner checked on us and assured us that if we needed anything to just let him know. Great location and if you don’t mind a short walk you can go through a beautiful neighborhood and walk over the bridge right into downtown st Augustine. It was amazing to have mimosas and breakfast on the balcony and watch the dolphins swim by in the mornings. Also just a short drive to the beaches and if you have a 4x4 you can actually drive on the beach. We will definitely try to rebook whenever we return

nice property
Everything was very nicely decorated & laid out. The pool area was amazing!! Unfortunately, a new property was being built right next door which prevented us from enjoying the balcony, but that was no fault of the hosts. The only thing that I feel you need to be prepared for, is the spiral staircase going up to the apartment. It was beautiful, but very scary for me (I'm claustrophobic). But the area was great, not too far from all the action but far enough to be quiet.

Beautiful 2nd floor apartment w view
Lovely neighborhood and gorgeous view of water. We watched the sunrise out the front window. We used the available bikes for a nice evening ride and firepit in the evening. Short walk to Bridge of Lions. Circular staircase to reach apartment might be a problem for some.

Beautiful surroundings
It was really a beautiful place and in a nice neighborhood. It had a keyless entry so didn’t have to worry about any key to open the door. The spiral staircase was really pretty and once upstairs saw the whole place beautifully decorated. It has all the latest appliances and although we only ate breakfast and an occasional dinner there, we could have easily filled the large refrigerator with a week’s worth of food. Being close to the water made it a popular place for bike riders and joggers. But it was still a very quiet neighborhood. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners which was a nice surprise as well. Also it was so close to downtown St Augustine which gave us more time to enjoy all that the city has to offer. We weren’t able to enjoy the pool as we were busy every day with excursions. So we will leave that for next time. Yes we plan on coming back soon and would like to book again to stay in DOLPHIN BAY APARTMENTS.
