Summary: We like this place for the convenience. We park and don't have to leave in the car at all until vacation ends. But the floor was dirty we could feel the same grinding when we walked in and when we got back from a day at the beach then shower drain wasn't working! We went down to front office and no one was there finally someone came and the manager took 15 min to get a hold of. And then they said they called the plumber and it would be 30min minimum before he arrives. We were full of sand and dirty. We decide to change and go to dinner and get back and still not ready plumber is working on and then the owner asks me why we bought sand and told us 2 days ago it was fine and now it's not. We reminded him that we just arrived and checked in today and only 1 of 5 of us got to shower and it was not draining. It would have to have been days of sand pile up. We left again to let them finish come back and now it's 2hrs later and they're cleaning up. Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed. He couldn't give us a new room and only offered us to shower in another room THE NEXT MORNING. My husband demanded we be given a new room now or a room to shower now not tomorrow morning. Mind you it's now 830pm tired and dirty and the thought of going to bed like that felt horrendous especially after paying $300 for a room. Plumber told owner also that this wasn't us. That didn't help he was not being helpful. Finally he agreed to give us another room so that we could shower he allowed us until 10pm.

Summary: This place has a million dollar view! It’s an older property with a little bit of a funky smell but view and location are perfect. If you want top of the line you can pay 10 times more down the street, but for the price you can’t beat this place.

Summary: Having at least two rooms that were shower handicap accessible would be even better than just one room.

Summary: I know it wasn’t the Motel‘s problem, but the water was contaminated throughout the five cities around so it was just uncomfortable. We couldn’t really wash or brush teeth or wash properly. The room just smelled like urine to me. It didn’t smell like that to my fiancé, but it did to me

Summary: All 10s! We immediately fell in love with this cute property. Its on beach and actually technically at the pier. This property is very well kept. The floors and furniture seemed new. The paint inside and out were professionally done. And done well. After our 3rd days we wished we came earlier. Next time we will stay a full week. The Dolphin cove is perfectly located near everything you want. Even close to a few wineries. We visited 2.
We stayed in room #22 upstairs. With beach and ocean views. We kept our curtains and door open most of time we were inside.

Summary: Excellent location... office close by 9 pm at the ice machine is there. I recommended to put in other place so guest has access to the ice.
