5060 Dolphin's Watch * Oceanfront * Elevator
Beautiful Oceanfront Home in Kill Devil Hills Once you've seen Dolphin's Watch in Kill Devil Hills, you'll never want to spend your Outer Banks vacation anywhere else. This 4-Bedroom, 4-Bathroom oceanfront Outer Banks rental with an elevator features a Private Beach Access, a bubbly Hot Tub, and spectacular panoramic views of the ocean that will whisk you away to ultimate relaxation. Enjoy the Elevator that services each floor, a recreation room with a foosball table, two flat-screen TVs, and a wet bar with a microwave and a full-size refrigerator that's perfect for enjoying snacks and drinks while you unwind and find your Outer Banks bliss. Located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, you will find yourself near great shopping, restaurants, and family entertainment. From the inviting furnishings to the fantastic locale steps away from the ocean, Dolphin's Watch is a retreat that will leave everyone smiling.
When you pull up to this gorgeous home, you'll find plenty of parking as well as a ramp that leads to the Ground Floor entry. Grill up some fresh, local seafood on the Park-Style Grill out front and prepare your own fresh-caught fish on the Fish Cleaning Table out back. Be sure to rinse off in the Enclosed Outdoor Shower after you've taken advantage of the oceanfront, direct access to the beach that makes this such a gem on the Outer Banks. Inside, you'll find not only the elevator, that will take you to each floor, but a spacious Game Area with a Foosball Table and a downstairs Living Area with plenty of cozy furniture, including a Queen Sleep Sofa, and a Flat Screen TV that's perfect for catching up on your favorite shows in the evening or enjoying a family movie on a rainy day. Be sure to whip up some yummy snacks in the nearby Kitchenette with a microwave and full-size refrigerator, all located directly across from the Full Hallway Bathroom, making the Ground Level the perfect hangout spot for the entire family.
The highlight of the Middle Level is your private walkway out onto a Beach Deck and steps that bring you directly onto the sand, making this the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water with a warm cup of coffee in the morning. Relax in the evening as you enjoy ocean views from the bubbly Hot Tub, or lay back with your favorite beach read under the Mid-Level Covered Deck in a comfortable Adirondack chair. Back inside, get some rest for another day of exciting Outer Banks adventures in one of the 2 Queen Bedrooms with Flat Screen TVs, one of which has its own Private Bathroom. Get the kiddos settled nearby in the Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds and their own Flat Screen TV. A nearby Hallway Bathroom and a Washer/Dryer ensure that everyone will be comfortable and have what they need to make this the best vacation ever.
Upstairs, you'll enjoy unbeatable views of the ocean from the spacious Living Area with sliding glass doors out onto the Furnished Sun Deck and a Flatscreen TV that's ideal for putting on some music in the evening or settling the kids down in front of their favorite movie after you've spent the day enjoying the surf, sand, and sun of the beach nearby. Watch the moon rise up over the water from your comfortable Sun Deck after you've enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner in your Dining Area, with table seating for 10 and 3 additional bar stools. Cook up something impressive in the Kitchen with all modern appliances. For a little extra privacy, unwind in the King Bedroom with an additional Flat Screen TV and hallway access to the Full Hallway Bathroom nearby. There is plenty of room in this spacious home for everyone to enjoy being together while still having that little bit of privacy that we all crave. And with spectacular ocean views and the Jolly Roger just across the street, meaning you're just steps away from one of the best breakfasts on the beach, you'll never want to stay anywhere else once you've spent a week at Dolphin's Watch.
Enjoy the Fun of Kill Devil Hills Dolphin's Watch is just south of the Avalon Fishing Pier, meaning that you can make your way there in a flash for a fun day of fishing, dining, and sightseeing. There are also plenty of amazing restaurants nearby, including Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar and their famous Beach Shop, the Front Porch Cafe for an awesome cup of coffee, and The Jolly Roger just across the street. A few miles to the south, visit Jockey's Ridge State Park and climb the tallest sand dune on the Atlantic coast. Head north and stop by the Wright Brothers National Monument to learn about America's history of aviation and the first powered flight that occurred right off the local sand dunes! Afterward, swing by Lost Treasure Golf to try your luck at a fun treasure-themed mini-golf course or, if it's raining, catch the latest Blockbuster at the nearby movie theater. Whether you spend your days playing on the beach, casting your line out in the ocean, or exploring fun shops around town, there's a little bit of something for everyone at Dolphin's Watch.

Nice house but hot tub didn’t work
Check-in/out was easy and the location was great, but we were disappointed to find the hot tub needed repairs and was inoperable during our stay. The host/mgmt. co. didn’t communicate well and would take several hours before responding to our requests. Other than that, the house and beach were lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Home. Great Location. Very Clean.
The price to stay here was reasonable, especially given our requirements for 3 bathrooms, beach front property and queen/king size beds. Furniture has been updated since the photos were taken (red furniture is gone, replaced with blue). The location, right on the beach is perfect. It's nice to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the views or take the boardwalk down to the beach. The house is very clean. This is the only location we found with an elevator. Great for elderly family members and for hauling your belongings up to second and third floor. It is also one of the few places we found with a bathroom for each bedroom. Be aware that you need to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, bath and beach towels if you are staying more than a couple days. And you will need to bring your own dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher soap and other basic supplies. For example, we were given 1 dishwasher pod even though we were staying for 6 nights. Would be nice if they provided enough supplies for the number of people you have staying at the house and for the number of days you are there. All appliances were working and we had no problems there. The hot tub is always on so if you are sensitive to "white" noise from the motor, you may not want to stay in the 2 waterside queen bedrooms on the second floor. Not a problem for us as we all use hearing aids :-) The property manager is very responsive and answered all my questions quickly, both through the phone and VRBO message app.

Great location in the heart of OBX
Nice home, lots of room, great space for everyone during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub, ocean views with tge beach right off the back deck , sunrises and spotted dolphins swimming each morning. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, etc and the home was nicely decorated. The checkout process was quite fast & easy. The location in KDH made getting to various activities, shopping and restaurants very convenient. We were here late March, weather was typically in 60s every day, comfortable, no rain. Some restaurants & activities were not open yet for the season during our stay but still found lots of things to do, explore, eat, etc (and not over-crowded like other spring break destinations which was a huge plus for us!). The beach seemed clean and safe. A few of the downsides of this property: 1) it was annoying having to make our beds on arrival (unsure why this isnt done by housekeeping as part of their process?), 2) pillows/beds may be older with a lot of use (need to be flipped, reversed or just replaced), 3) sheets/towels were pretty thin (could also be replaced), 4) location of property across the street from The Jolly Roger, a bar/restaurant which played quite loud music late into the night which was mostly an issue for the primary bedroom & other room on street side of house Overall we were happy with our stay here and would recommend it and would stay again if visiting the same area.

Lovely property, great location
We loved our stay here! It was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect--short drives to lots of shops and restaurants, and the beach access is amazing. We even saw dolphins from the kitchen window! As with most beach houses, the selection of kitchen utensils was pretty random, and games and puzzles are in a similar situation. But if those are your main complaints, that's a pretty great vacation! If we come back to the Outer Banks any time soon we would stay here again.
