About this property
Dolphin Delight - Semi Ocean Front home with pool
Dolphin Delight is a fabulous family friendly Semi-Oceanfront 5 Bedroom 4.5 Bath home with Private Pool and Spa. It is located only steps from a great beach and in the heart of Avon. Enjoy ocean views from either of the two decks facing the ocean and watch over the pool and volleyball court from the two decks facing the sound side of the island.
Your family will not want to leave this wonderful second lot back home in Avon. Dolphin Delight will provide the perfect location to get away from it all. Covered parking under the house and a convenient dry entry that opens to the first level will make move-in a breeze.
The four bedrooms on the first level make for a peaceful retreat. Each bedroom on this level has a 32” flat-screen TV with a DVD player. Two queen master suites on this level offer direct access to a covered deck overlooking the pool and volleyball court. The third queen bedroom has a door into a semi-private bathroom. The fourth bedroom has a bunk set and a single bed with a trundle. These two bedrooms have direct access to a covered deck with ocean views. The laundry is also on this level.
On the top level, vaulted ceilings and large windows provide abundant natural light and offer ocean views. Watch a movie on the 55” flat-screen TV. All TV's have Smart TV capabilities with Spectrum Cable and DVD players. The sunny kitchen with breakfast bar is adjacent to the dining area, which has easy access to the spacious ocean-facing sundeck. The sun/game room includes a three-in-one bumper-pool table that can be used as a dining table, poker table or bumper pool table. From here there is also direct access out to the top deck overlooking the pool area, where there is a seating group under a covered portion and a picnic table for an outdoor eating option. Off the living area is a warm and inviting master bedroom with a king-size bed. This master also has direct access to the rear sundeck facing west. A half bathroom providing common access completes this level.
The private pool and hot tub are located on the sound-side of the house, with ample deck space and lounges for catching the sun rays or watching the children play. Grill your meals on either the gas grill located on the pool deck or at the charcoal grill in front of the house. Dolphin Delight’s fantastic location provides easy access to popular shopping, restaurants, water sports rental shops, and fishing/bait and tackle, as well as favorite ice cream shops.
There is convenient beach access one house south or two houses north of Dolphin Delight where you will find a wonderful sandy beach. There are two outdoor showers to freshen you up as you return from the beach. Store your gear in the under-house lockable storage room. Clean your catch of the day at the fish cleaning table while your kids play basketball out front or volleyball out back.

Thank you for your stay. We are so happy you enjoyed your week at the beach and your time at Dolphin Delight.
Check in was super easy, the kitchen had everything we needed, close access to the beach, the pool and hot tub were great, host was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay!!
We have stayed in different spots every year in the OBX, and this was the first that has us thinking we’ll be back for a second stay. It was definitely the perfect spot for us and the house was great!
This house was wonderful for our needs and just a short walk to the beach. The kids loved the pool and hot tub for those not-so-good beach days. Thanks for a great stay!
This is our 20th year visiting Avon, by far Dolphin Delight is our most favorite home: great location, spacious, fantastic amenities and the owner is extremely hospitable.
My family and I loved this house! Wonderful property, plenty of space and the pool was wonderful after being on the beach all day. It’s close to Foodlion, Duck Donuts and many retail shops without feeling like you’re too close. Great communication from Jeff, the host. Great trip, great host and fantastic property. We’ve already started talking about next year at Dolphin Delight!
We had a wonderful 24 hours. We were evacuated Sunday evening at 6:00 due to hurricane Erin. We have stayed here many years and this is the first that this has happened. This house has all the amenities and is a very easy walk to the beach. Wish we would hav3 had better weather to stay all week

The unfortunate reality of hurricane season in coastal regions means possible impact to our guests. We are sorry your trip was cut short. We look forward to next year. Thank you for regularly staying at Dolphin Delight!
This is our 3rd year staying in this hime and we absolutely love it. Very convenient location, great amenities and owner is awesome! We will be back next year!
This is our 2nd year staying, love the kicatiin and amenities of home, and Jeff is an incredible host. Very easy to communicate with. Will be staying again next year!
The house was perfect for our family! Allowed us to walk to the beach in the morning, come back for lunch at the house and then enjoy the pool in the afternoon! The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive to anything we needed! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a low key getaway with a larger group!
Location was incredible. House was exactly as stated, very clean and had everything we needed. Everything we needed was far enough away not to be heard to interfere with our relaxation.
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.
House is awesome, very close to the Ocean. Three levels, pool, hot tub & game room. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Jeff the owner is very helpful and kind. Very clean and comfortable house. We loved our vacation.

About the host

We fell in love with Avon and Hatteras Island, and decided to purchase Dolphin Delight to have a special place to spend our vacations. We had the home in a rental program under a local real estate company and now have taken over managing the property. Our hope is that you fall in love with this unique beach town and Dolphin Delight!
