Our stay couldn’t have been better! We were met by Sharon who checked us in and showed us our room. I mentioned that it was our anniversary and she left a bottle of wine for us! The room was immaculate. We had all the comforts of home. Our king size bed was amazing. Breakfast was prepared by Chris and he really outdid himself. The staff was very accommodating. I hope we have the opportunity to stay again! Thank you, Black Dolphin Inn!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the property was absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the dolphins swim in the intracoastal. The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping on Canal St.& Flagler Ave.; the beach is just a few minutes drive; and there are some beautiful sights to see in the local area. We will be back!

We enjoyed quiet and peaceful evenings. We drove onto the beach during the daytime and spent our days there. The room was well kept and well decorated (reminded me of visiting my grandma's home in San Diego as a child--coastal/ mid century Dutch). Bedding, temperature control, shower, etc. were all great. Breakfast wasn't "wow" food like the photos show, but it was fresh cooked and we enjoyed getting to sit at the kitchen bar. The staff was friendly and helpful during our entire stay.
