My family and I stayed at The Dolphin Inn during September. Coming from all over Virginia it was important for us to find a home away from home and that is exactly what we found as it had countless amenities and extras. We have been staying in the Outer Banks for many years in many nice places, but this is the last place we will stay- We loved it!!

We had the pleasure of staying here last Sept. We stayed with people from all over. The house is beautiful. Most of us had children and we loved the fact that if we didn't feel like going to the beach we could just sit outside. We are excited to be staying there again this year. Hopefully this turns into a yearly reunion of friends we would have never met had it not been for the Dolphin Inn.

We arrived and were most pleased with the accommodations. We were able to relax and to enjoy the area as well as the house. It was indeed a very restful week. I have rented homes similar to Dolphin Inn in Fenwick Island, Delaware on a couple of occasions. The Dolphin Inn is an excellent alternative to the Delaware accommodations. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enjoy this home.

Exceptional beach experience!

The "Dolphin Inn" is a gorgeous beach house! The owners are very responsive to meet your needs to ensure your perfect vacation experience.

The home has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated with unbelievable attention to detail. Take time to review the amenities provided on their website. The rooms are large and comfortable. The home layout with three levels is perfect allowing privacy for everyone. The bedrooms on the upper and middle levels each have a sliding glass door to the balconies so you can go outside and not disturb others in your party. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Centrally located to stores and restaurants I am certain everyone will have an enjoyable vacation.

Once you are settled in, please take a few minutes to read their welcome binder that provides you with detailed information about the area.

I highly recommend this home for your vacation. It will be a memorable vacation!!

Excellent choice for families.

This was the first time I had planned a family vacation for my extended family. The stakes were somewhat high as my In-Laws would be travelling from the West Coast to be here. Everyone was very impressed as even with the rather large number of small children (My two kids + my sister's four kids - all are under 7) there was ample space and it was obvious that the owners went out of their way to make sure the house was adequate at not only housing, but entertaining both small kids and adults. We also had Thanksgiving dinner at the house and the kitchen was stocked well enough to make and eat the meal without needed to bring cooking utensils from home. We used to Marina to launch our small fishing boat (free of charge) and we snagged a few nice sea trout from underneath the 158 bridge. We also collected and ate at least a bushel of the best (and largest) oysters I've ever eaten (Raw, Steamed, Grilled and Baked). We got those from down near the Oregon Inlet when the weather turned too sour to continue gigging for flounder. The house even had an oyster knife. My in-laws commented at how thoughtful the owners had been at furnishing the house and the amenities that were included. We're currently discussing coming back to stay in the Summer. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. My sister commented that she would be willing to pay twice the price asked in retrospect to do it again... and she's the cheapest person I know. Did I mention the location is perfect? It's out of the commercial area but close enough to Harris Teeter and Wal-Mart to grab stuff right before dinner. Duck is only a few miles up the road and is a very neat little town with a great vibe. 5 Stars for sure.
