Perfect Outer Banks Spot

We had such a great stay at Dolphin Inn. Jorge communicated with us and was so helpful even before we got there. Check in was a breeze. The house was exactly as described and perfect for our three families to share for a week. Also - the house had absolutely every little thing you could need - beach chairs, umbrella, toys; fully stocked kitchen with any tools you might need; outlets set up everywhere. And everything labeled and accessible. If you want to feel like you are borrowing a friend’s home for the week, def stay here!

Fantastic stay with wonderful host

We were a family of 16 from toddlers to grandparents and this house was perfect for our group. The layout of the bedrooms and common areas worked great for us. There are thoughtful details throughout the home; such as a very well stocked kitchen, tons of dvds and board games, even baby gates and pack and plays. When we weren’t enjoying the pool and hot tub, there was plenty of room for us to gather in the main dining and living area for relaxing, playing games and having our meals. We really appreciated the beach chairs and cart for our short walk to the beach. There is a great bike bath out front so we rented bicycles to ride into Duck for shopping and sightseeing. Our host Jorge was extremely gracious and helpful throughout our stay. We can’t wait for a return trip!

Southern Shores the Dolphin Inn Way

Great beach house. Like a mini private resort. Kids loved it and wanted to stay extra days after our week was up. Beach one and half blocks away. Great pool, sauna, beach volleyball. Mother deer and two fawns strolled by property almost daily. Also saw Dollphins while on the beach. Kids couldn't wait to get back to the beach in the evening to see and catch the "Ghost Crabs".Jorge great host and assures your stay will be everything you expected. Southern Shores a great upscale local and convenient to everything like shopping, activities and other towns. Just a great family vacation!

Family Fun

House is in a great location. Very short walk to the beach. Close to everything but feels secluded. Very private yard and pool. It was very quiet when we sat outside. Well stocked. Owner was amazing and was in communication with us throughout the week! We had four couples, three kids 18-21, six little kiddos and one golden doodle.. The house was full but we all fit comfortably.

This was a great property for our needs. Plenty of room for shared experiences (games, movies, children’s talent show, etc) as well as private space to take a break from the fun or commotion. Lovely pool and play areas. Close walk to the beach, not far from grocery store, short bike ride on bike trail to Duck- or short drive. Many low key interesting sites. Great gym nearby and lots of golfing!

Outer Banks Family Vacation

Nice house and good location - only a couple miles to grocery stores and seafood market. Beach just a short walk away and a nightly rendezvous to catch the sunset. Very relaxing vacation and good sight seeing adventures. Only negative was we could have used more trash bags and cleaning supplies in the "sample pack". Kids enjoyed the pool which was spacious! Overall, a great family vacation!

Great family vacation home!

Jorge is a great host, and we are very thankful we had the opportunity to rent from him. Weird, right, that I know his name? But that's Jorge. He wants to make sure all of his guests have a great time and everything they could possibly need. He was transparent about everything and went above and beyond to make sure we had all that we need. We didn't have a Crockpot and he was willing to have us buy one and get reimbursed. That's the level of service anyone would want. About the house: We chose this house because of the playground. We had 5 kids under 5 staying, and it was a great way for them to let out some steam! The home is organized with the bunk beds on the bottom floor--perfect so that the littles can't hear you when you are up on the top floor later in the evenings. There were lots of personal touches that made this family-friendly. From the massive DVD collection organized by rating (kid-friendly at the bottom), to the baby gates provided, and even a baby monitor provided (helpful if your kiddos are sleeping on the first floor! If you are looking for a large family home that is close to the beach and packed with amenities designed for a family, this is a great beach house for you. :) The only downside is that you do have to cross a fairly busy two-lane road (the main road into Duck) to get to the beach. But, it's less than a 5 minute walk and didn't alter our plans at all. There are crosswalks available as well!

Great beach rental!

We had a fantastic stay at this beach rental property! The location was just right, with a quick 5-minute walk to the beach. What made it even better was the fact that the property provided plenty of chairs for our group of 9 and a wagon for easy transportation – a thoughtful touch that made our beach days even more enjoyable. One of the highlights of this rental was the pool and hot tub. On days when we wanted a break from the sand and surf, these amenities provided the perfect relaxation spot. Plus, they were impeccably clean, adding to our overall sense of comfort. The hosts deserve a special mention for their outstanding communication. From the moment we booked, they were quick to respond and incredibly helpful. They even scheduled a call ahead of our trip to address any questions or concerns we had. In terms of amenities, the well-equipped kitchen with plenty of pots and pans (all organized and labeled) was a pleasant surprise. We made great use of it, especially with the added bonus of a grill for cooking family-style meals for days we didn’t want to eat out. All in all, our stay at this property was truly wonderful. It combined convenience, cleanliness, and superb host communication, making for a memorable beach vacation. I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to create lasting beachside memories!

Exactly as advertised!

Our group, which consisted of 8 adults and 1 toddler, had the best stay at the Dolphin Inn! We spent most of our time at the pool, which was clean and very well maintained, stocked with plenty of rafts, since our son still isn’t crazy about the ocean. The house itself was beautiful and very clean when we arrived. There was a minor maintenance issue the day we checked in, which we were informed about by Jorge and Susannah prior to arrival and it was taken care of promptly, which was appreciated. The location of the house was great as it was convenient to get to the beach (5 minute walk), drive to Duck for shopping/dinners (10 minutes), or Venture a little farther but only about 15 minutes to the H2OBX water park, which we all had a blast at. We would definitely stay there again and cannot speak highly enough of Jorge and Susannah!

2022 Family Vacation

The Dolphin Inn is a great place to stay. We had 17 in our family stay and the house served us well. Not very far to the beach and we visited the beach all of the time, otherwise spent time in the pool or hot tub. The family loved it. We haven’t been to the OBX in years and the vacation reminded us of why we liked it there so much. Jorge, the owner, was great to talk to. I am big on communication and he provided everything we needed for a great family vacation. Lots of things to do, restaurants galore or just relax while strolling on the beach at sunset with your loved ones. 5 stars for sure.

The best family getaway!

This was the perfect location for our large family vacation. The location of the home is central to the many OBX towns which made them easy days trips too! Our trip included our parents, their three children and spouses as well as 6 grandchildren of varying ages. It was great for everyone. Having the kids downstairs was so fun for them and made the upstairs more relaxing for the adults. The kids swam, played volleyball, played in the pirate playground and in the hot tub, danced with the Wii, played foosball...the list goes on! It was the easiest walk to the beach also. Took about 5 minutes and you were on the sand with a wagon and beach chairs that we didn't have to pack and bring. The kitchen was perfect for many meals we made at home and the decks and hammocks were favorites of the adults...many books read and naps taken. Jorge was so incredible to work with. Super fast with responding and checking in to make sure everything was perfect. We have already recommended it to friends and will be back for sure!

Great place, great location

Loved the dolphin inn. Our stay was met with 50-60 degree weather with lots of wind and rain yet we still had a great time here. Very close walk to the beach which we did get to visit on a couple occasions. Glad this house is a little away from the main drag with all the shops and restaurants but still very close by. Very nice having a pool/ hot tub, sand volleyball and even a little pirate ship playground for the kids. Plenty of room for our large group with fully set up TVs in every room. Would definitely be willing to stay here again
