Premium accommodations. Attentive staff. Delicious chef-prepared breakfast. From our initial greeting by Audrey, to being shown parking and then the room, this is exactly what premium service is. Highly recommend the Black Dolphin! Words do not do justice.

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've looked at visiting this property for over a year, we finally decided to reserve a room. Let me say we were very pleased. It's very clean, quiet, great staff, breakfast was delicious, and the view of the Indian River was exactly what we wanted. The only thing I would change on our next visit is the room. Because I'm a light sleeper, the room on the first floor would not be my choice, due to it being to close to the kitchen and foye. The light shining through the window from the porch light being on all night bothered me. But other than that, the place is a little paradise. We met serveral people who visit the place often. It will definitely be a regular getaway for us! Thanks, Taylor and staff for the warm welcome

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.
