I would like to address some points mentioned in this review… 1. Regarding prior burglaries at the Dolphin Retreat, there have been none. 2. Regarding the timeliness of our response, we were notified of the incident on 12/28/21, replied to the guest on 12/29/21 and the matter resolved on 12/30/21 3. The guest was given a full 50% refund of the funds received for this booking. 4. We felt this incident would have been avoided had the doors been properly locked. Below is our reply to the guest concerning this incident. Dear Michael, Thank you for your correspondence and feedback on the recent events. Again, we are indeed sorry for the trouble you and your daughters encountered on your recent visit to the Dolphin Retreat. After conducting our review, we have decided to refund 50% of your rental fee. With the help of Officer Langsner and our surveillance video, we determined the young lady gained entry through an unlocked sliding door on the ocean side of the downstairs. There was no evidence of forced entry and there are no keyed doors on that side of the home. We believe that it was a crime of opportunity and had the doors been locked, we don’t think she would have entered. All keys were found in their lock boxes and our video confirmed she was never In the vicinity of the downstairs front door or lock box. As for corrective action, Officer Langsner is issuing a “No Trespass Notice” to the young lady. He assures me that if she sets foot on the property again she will be doing some jail time. Best wishes to you and your daughters for a happy and healthy New Year. Kind regards, Dave
