Condo was very clean and appeared as advertised. It was located near the back of the property close to the boardwalk to the beach as well as walking distance to the Beach Lounge.

We enjoyed our stay at the Island Resort Dolphin #53. Living in Paradise staff were wonderful. Our maintenance crew guys were outstanding and Alex and Maria in the main office were very helpful. We're still exploring areas in the southern part of the USA so we don't plan on coming back to Port A next winter. If we would return, we would contact LIP for our rental needs. Thank you again!

We absolutely love this place! This is our 3rd year in a row to stay in 53. I love the setup and decor, it feels like our little home away from home. Will likely be back next year as well. Can't beat the location!

Me my husband and 5 year old son had a wonderful time. We loved that the beach was just a walk away instead of having to pack up and drive there. The condo was very cozy and welcoming. Brings back memories from visiting when I was young and went with family. We will be coming back next year hopefully and will always stay in IR53.

Loved our stay at the Dolphin Retreat! It was clean enough and comfortable for the 5 of us. Being able to walk right out to the pool, basketball/volleyball courts, bbq, and beach was great. Would stay again.

This is our second time staying in this unit. I'll probably choose it again. I love the location, setup and specifically the room with the full size bed and bunk beds. The kitchen had everything that we needed. Beautiful place, the only thing I would change is my length of the stay. It's never long enough.

We loved the house. It is very cute, has everything we need and it's very convenient to the beach and amenities. The kids enjoyed the pool, beach volleyball, basket and tenis/pickle ball courts! The beach is a couple of minutes away and there is a shower to remove the sand before coming back to the condos.
