10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Our family had a fantastic stay at Dolphin Watch The house comfortably accommodated all 11 of us, ages 13 to 78, and the beachfront location with pool made it perfect for our vacation.We loved the ocean views, easy beach access, and the daily setup of chairs and umbrellas, which made our beach days even more relaxing. The extra beach towels were a great touch, and Jim was responsive throughout our stay.The kitchen was well-equipped for a large group, with two dishwashers, two coffee makers, and a coffee grinder.Dolphin Watch was a wonderful place for our family! We would gladly stay there again!

Communication was quick. Owner lives in town. Lots of room. AC worked great for us. The road side bedroom stays the coldest. Two dishwashers. Extra fridge in the garage. Easily fit 4 cars/trucks in the driveway without even having to use a garage. Far enough away from the pier to be out of the hustle and bustle but there is public access every couple of blocks. Love the touch of the 6 chairs and 3 umbrellas that the owner has put out for you. Makes it so much easier on you! Eat at Michael’s Seafood and shuckin Shack in Carolina beach as well as Celtic Creamery and Squigleys. Just remember this area prefers cash! Guest before us were not kind to the pool and I felt bad for how much cleaning they had to do to get all the sand out. We would absolutely stay here again!
