About the hotel

Welcome to Smiling Dolphin, your charming retreat nestled in the heart of South Venice! If you're dreaming of sun-drenched days and the gentle rhythm of the Gulf Coast, this vacation home is the perfect base for your Florida getaway.

You'll find yourself conveniently located, just a short 15-minute drive away from the picturesque shores of both Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach. Whether you're looking to relax on the sand, explore local wildlife, or simply soak up the sunshine, these popular spots are within easy reach.

For those keen to explore further afield, Nokomis Beach is approximately 8.7 miles (14 km) away, and the lovely Englewood Beach is just a little further at 9.7 miles (15.5 km). This means a variety of beautiful coastal experiences are all accessible from your doorstep.

At Smiling Dolphin, we pride ourselves on offering excellent value. While prices can fluctuate, you'll often find our rates are more competitive than major booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia, and LateRooms, and we always strive to offer the Best Price Match.
