Great location
Stayed in Dolphin for 2 1/2 nights (got in very late) in September with girl friends for a Girls Weekend. Cannot beat the location! Steps to the beach and short walk to shopping, dining and a great bar with live music - The Brown Boxer. If you are looking for the Ritz, high-rise, high priced condo on the beach, then keep looking. If you are looking for location, location, location, and a traditional beach cottage, this is it. Although we arrived very late at night/early morning, and had a few problems, Management worked with us. Rodney and al did their best to accommodate the four ladies from the north. We had some great memories at the Dolphin. Thanks Rodney!

To the Beach with Ease!
My husband, 3 teenage boys, and I were a tight fir in the Corner Cottage, but it was the only property left when we decided to vacation at the last minute. The Cottage was clean and met our needs. We loved being so close to the beach and having access to chairs and umbrellas instead of neededing to bring our own. This is no 5 star but we had great service and a great experience!

Great location, steps to the beach
We arrived early, and check in at the motel was a breeze. They gave us a map to get to the cottage, which also was quite easy. The cottage is cooled with room air conditioners, and the one in the kitchen was still broken (as I had read this in a review prior to booking our trip). This made cooking in the kitchen very uncomfortable, and one of the reasons we chose the cottage is we wanted to be able to cook for the kids instead of go to restaurants. It was only 3 buildings away from a gorgeous beach. Also walking distance to most other things you would want. The back yard was great with a small picnic area. Capt al and everyone else we spoke with was very friendly and helpful. It is an older cottage and meets all of your basic needs. It is not a luxury rental, and we didn't expect it to be. We thought it was great.

"Great Location, Steps to the Beach"
Hi Jennifer:
Thank you for spending your summer holiday at Clearwater Cottages. I am glad your family got to enjoy our beautiful beaches just steps away. Sorry the airconditioner went down, fixed now. Gayle , Rodney and my staff wish you the best.

Don't have high expectations!
I'll start by saying the only thing I liked about staying at this location was it was so close to the beach and pier 60. Quiet part of street so that was nice. When making reservation by phone i pre-arranged few things like i needed an air mattress as i have family of 5 and extra linens,I also told alan I would be arriving late around 9:30 and I also called day befor we came to remind him.He told me to come to Blue Wave Motel to check in we arrived at 9:10 nobody there I then called alan and he said to just go to the cottage keys under the mat.My problem with this is our taxi is gone i have 3 kids and 4 suitcases and i now have to walk 6 to 7 blocks to get to cottage. The cottage was not prepared for us no air mattress extra towels or blankets/pillows.Alan did bring these items reminding me these are things we handle when checking in. Haha what check in? Bathroom sink backed up constant,toilet had mess all over it when we arrived so i had to clean it,wall in middle of room that they never show in pics so not as spaciaous as it looks,random dishes,dvd player broke,random towels that looked as if they were from home,bed was stiff and noisey,TV in main room speakers blown so u can hardly hear it.I did not have high expectations with what we paid but was let down big time. If you like ritzy places this place not for you. would be good for young couples not families.We will not return.

We apologize for the misunderstanding about the late arrival. We did acknowledge that you would arrive late so the lights and air conditioners were put on and key left under the mat. We simply cannot wait all night for late arrivals and the office closed at 9:00 pm. We had no way of knowing you had a taxi, and did arrive within 15 minutes of your check in with the air mattress, linens and towels. The Corner Cottage is 850 square feet and a one bedroom little house generally for two guests, not 5, and although it is twice the size of most hotel rooms, it is quite spacious. The stiff mattress is a Sterns and Foster firm mattress. As we advertise, the Cottages are great for guests who want to be close to the beach for about half the price of the condos next door. It is not ritzy or high end, but great location, cute and funky, clean and a great value. Value minded families love the Cottages. Thanks for staying with us and your comments. Capt. Al
