Wow, thank you so much, Taylor! We're delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay at Blue Dolphin - #1161. Thank you for choosing Surf or Sound Realty for your Hatteras Island getaway. We hope to see you again soon!
Great place for our family vacation!! The weather was not cooperative, so we spent a lot of time in the house! Plenty of space for everyone and we enjoyed the pool table! Loved having two refrigerators.

We appreciate your glowing 5-star review of Blue Dolphin - #1161, Charlotte! It's wonderful to hear the home provided plenty of space for your family and that you enjoyed the pool table and multiple refrigerators. Even with the weather not cooperating, it's fantastic you were able to make the most of your stay. We hope to welcome you back to Hatteras Island soon for another memorable visit!
The Surf or Sound company will nickel and dime you for everything - pretty much everything was an additional charge, including bed sheets and towels. The house was nice but not set up well for a short-term rental (no towel hooks in bathrooms/bedrooms, no hand soap in bathrooms, no place to put luggage, etc.). Communication with the Surf or Sound company was less than ideal, especially during a state of emergency situation (nor’easter storm) that occurred while we were staying there. Trying to talk to someone on-shore when we needed something was nearly impossible, which made a stressful situation even worse. Buxton beach was about a 5-10 minute walk away from the home, but this beach isn’t great for swimming as the waves are extremely strong. I was unfamiliar with the Outer Banks beaches and thought we’d be able to swim at this beach but unfortunately we couldn’t. The pool and hot tub were a plus for that reason.I wouldn’t personally stay at this house again and would think twice before booking another Surf or Sound property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s pool and hot tub, and we’re sorry that other aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify that our welcome bags include a complimentary supply of starter essentials, with additional items intended to be purchased by guests as needed. During the September nor’easter, our team shared updates as information became available and allowed all affected parties to remain in their rental homes at no additional charge until it was safe to leave the island. We understand that the state of emergency created a stressful and uncertain situation, and we’re sorry that your experience with communication added to that stress. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to provide context.
House was clean and served us well with the bedrooms all being kings. The only reason that it’s. It 5 stars , several of us were planning on using the washer/dryer during our stay, but the washer although very new, did not work.

Thank you for the feedback, Casey! We’re glad to hear Blue Dolphin - #1161 was clean and that the king bedrooms worked well for your group. We’re sorry the washer wasn’t functioning during your stay. We understand how inconvenient that must have been and have shared your note with our team. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time.
Great house in a great location, but the washing machine didn’t work. A part has been ordered to fix it, so hopefully the next guests will be able to use it.
