Exclusive Dolphin Ridge "ISLAND TIME" with private pool and golf cart

Welcome to our ''5 Star'' energy rated vacation home. This home was built with energy efficiency and fun in mind. ''ISLAND TIME'' is located about a mile from town along Coast Guard Rd.

Along the way you may want to pause and gaze at one of the various ponds overflowing with wildlife. As you will discover, there are many custom features that make this house a state of the art, environmentally friendly, perfect family vacation home.

Memories made!

We had a wonderful stay at Island Time! The house is just as described, perfect for our group of 7. Loved the use of the golf cart for getting to the beach, the beautiful enclosed porch, and of course the pool!! We would mostly definitely stay again!

Property was amazing. Very clean, wonderful layout with master bedroom on main floor. Upstairs bedroom and bath worked great for our son, his wife and two small grandsons. They loved the bunk beds. Pool was very enjoyable. Golf cart was great to travel to beach. First trip to Emerald Isle, NC, but would certainly visit again. Don't hestitate a minute to book this house in the exclusive Dolphin Ridge community. Very good communication and we even got in before check in time. Also loved the little touches in this house...artwork, beach decor, great sectional, outdoor shower, gas grill, even hand soap in the bathrooms. Top notch house! Very deserving of exceptional rating.

Family Vacation 2024

This was a perfect location for our family vacation ❤️❤️ The house was wonderful! The pool was perfect for the little ones! The rides in the golf cart to the beach made it all come together. We travel here frequently and this was one of our best stays. Thank you to the owners and Brian for everything 😊

Emerald Isle Vacation

The house was very clean. The amenities were great. Having the golf cart available to us made going to the beach very easy. Margie (owner) and Brian (property manager) was very responsive to all of our questions. Brian made some great recommendations for the area to eat and activities. The pool was a great feature and we used it every day. The house is in a private community and is very quiet. It is close to alot of restaurants, the water park and shopping. Would definately stay there again.

A Dream Vaca

Everything was so easy! An amazing place with a lovely private pool! Maybe a quick 2 minute golf cart ride to the beach! Very clean and stocked with all the extras! Beautiful community and very family friendly! The property manager was super attentive and so sweet with my kiddos! Brian went above and beyond! This house is amazing and would stay here again in a heartbeat! 10/10 definitely recommend!

Vacation

House was very nice, but we had a few issues, very dusty and mildew all over up stairs Bathroom. We were bitten with sand fleas we think not sure. Had to wash all bedding. Other than a few issues we made the best of our stay. Nosey neighbors took pictures and said we had to many people staying in house which was untrue. It was just a family cookout. Probably will not rent this house again.

Another great stay

We had some maintenance issues pop up with the house this time but the property managers were extremely responsive and prompt in fixing them. The house is lovely and well-stocked with everything needed for a week away. I loved it that management gave us extra towels when we needed them. The golf cart is fun and makes getting to the beach a breeze. Our family enjoyed the board games. One request: please get a pool heater :)

Absolutely perfect!

Everything about this stay was perfect! The owner and house manager, Brian, could not be more responsive. Brian was so helpful by offering options for dinner and entertainment before we even arrived. The house was perfect - and CLEAN! The beds were comfortable and we had more than enough room for our party of 8. I promise the photos do not do this house justice. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We brought our own beach toys for the kids but they even had sand toys, boogie boards, pool noodles, etc. The golf cart was great for trips to the beach and the pool was fabulous when we returned! We will definitely stay here again!

The vacation house that has it all

This is the 3rd year staying at this property. Our family finds it very comfortable with a nice pool, spaces for kids, a screened in porch for peaceful mornings. The kitchen is the most well appointed of any property we've stayed at in Emerald Isle. The golf cart and our rented bikes makes it easy to get to the beach. We will return!

Great Experience

The house and property were beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the things we needed to make meals. The pool was perfect, in the sun part of the day and shade the other part. We loved having a golf cart, would have koved it even more if we could have taken it out of the development. Access to the beach was easy with the use od the golf cart. It was so nice to have Brian as our POC. He was great! He sent us ihelpful nformation and was really genuine about wanting us to enjoy our week. The owner was wonderful as well. She even left a handwritten card and welcoming gift, such a nice personal touch. We hughly recommend this house!

Perfect family property

This vacation home has everything and more. The home is clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well suited for families that churn out meals even while on vacation, and the pool was a refreshing end to a hot day on the beach. We’ve stayed in many places over our 26 years vacationing in EI, but have returned to this home for a second time. We look forward to returning to Island Time!

Great location and property

Well-kept home in a beautiful and private neighborhood. Golf cart, beach chairs and outdoor shower made beach-going easier. House had everything we needed for cooking and plentiful towels provided for 6 people. Dinners on the screened porch were lovely here, especially when deer meandered into the yard to visit nightly. Only critiques are kids’ bunk beds were hard and the pool has no heater.

This house had everything we needed. The property owner and manager were very welcoming and communicative. The golf cart was perfect to zip back and forth to the beach. The pool and game area in the basement were perfect to keep our kids busy when not at the beach.
