Perfect House for a week in OBX

The property was clean and really well equipped. Everything you need for a large group. It’s a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute drive to the supermarket. Having the pool and hot tub made it even better for relaxing at the end of the day. Highly recommend staying here. The owner is very responsive and helpful.

Delightful Family Getaway

We want to thank Jeff and his wife for making this a perfect vacation! Everything was so easy from arrival to departure. The home was exactly as described and there were absolutely no surprises. Plenty of room for our family of 9 to be together in the common area. Besides the beautiful ocean view every room was decorated in a costal theme. We all truly enjoyed the swimming pool too. It was so relaxing after spending a day fishing on the beach!

Small Clan Gathering

The Weather didn't help the first few days, but there was plenty at the house to entertain all. Pool, games, and even a short outing helped keep the kids happy. The rooms were Clean, spacious, and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed for our busy meals. By the end of the week, the weather improved so that we could enjoy the Short walks to the Beach. Thank you.

Dolphin DELIGHTFUL!

We had a fantastic week at Dolphin Delight. We were immediately happy with our choice when we opened the doors. It was immaculately clean and the beach was just a short walk away (viewable from the spacious decks). Jeff was very easy to get ahold of. We thought we had an issue and contacted him and he got right back to us (there was not an issue). We will be back for sure!

2nd Trip to Dolphin Delight

This is our second stay at this house. We really love it here. Avon is very quiet and the location of this house is really nice. Super short walk to the beach. The set up is great for a large group and for kids. The kitchen is very well stocked and week cooked every night. Pool and hot tub are great. The only small thing I wish the host would do is switch the TV's to streaming/smart tvs. We travel with small kids who need a break and while they do have it hooked up to basic cable and a DVD player there are so many remotes and we couldn't get it to work half the time. I realize that's a SMALL critique about an overall great property but might be helpful to other families. But overall FIVE stars for sure. The host is also easy to reach and helpful.

Great OBX Experience

Dolphin Delight did not disappoint. The home was clean and comfortable. The pool, hot tub and game room added even more fun to our OBX activities. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to feed our group. The beach access is just one house away. DD is more than dog friendly. It is dogcentric. The owners thoughtfully provided dog dishes, dog mats and a space specifically for our furry friend’s food and water. The owner was responsive and helpful throughout the process. When we arrived we had some issues with the TV and the hot tub. Both were resolved promptly. We would also like to mention the delightful welcome basket we received upon arrival. In addition to the usual paper towels, etc., the owners provided playing cards, beach toys, note pads (great for making Food Lion lists and keeping score during card games), trash bags, OBX info, etc. A family wedding will prevent a 2025 trip but if we return to OBX in 2026 we will definitely consider Dolphin Delight

Ocean Views Bliss

My family ranging from 3 years old to well...retired, enjoyed a wonderful stay at Dolphin Delight! This house had everything! I brought things like extra hand soap and muffin tins, but all was provided. There are several large serving trays for charcuterie by the pool or large dinners, and service for at least 8. I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed while a hurricane was offshore. It was wonderful to have the pool, especially in the back of the house, for windy days. The over wash from the ocean really came up a couple of the days. The folks across the street (Ocean Side houses) had trouble parking their cars out of the water and loading unload in knee deep water. We were high and dry at Dolphin Delight! We also received texts from Jeff to alert us to the possibility of high water and rip currents. Linens provided were also already on the beds at arrival. Such a nice touch after a long road trip. This property exceeded expectations, and I would highly recommend!
