Dog-friendly home with ocean views, rooftop deck & WiFi - 4 lots to the beach

Blue Dolphin 054

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Blue Dolphin is a coastal beach cottage with an abundance of charm. In this spot just four lots from the beach, you can relax and admire the ocean view from the rooftop deck, unwind on the cool screened porch, or catch up with your loved ones on the furnished sundecks.

If you're in the mood for cooking, whip up a seafood feast on the outdoor park grill or head inside to the kitchen and dining area for a relaxed indoor meal. The owner has put a lot of thought and care into this beach home and it shows, from the living room with cathedral ceilings to the separate laundry area underneath the house. Enjoy three TVs (one is a 42-inch flatscreen), a DVD player, a stereo/CD player, and three accommodating bedrooms.

For great beach access and plenty of room both indoors and outdoors, Blue Dolphin is most certainly an excellent catch.

This house is close to anything you would want. Nice little house that is comfortable and cozy. We have stayed at Blue Dolphin several times and we find it to be just what we need for a fishing vacation.

We love, love, love the location, the coziness of the house and that we can bring our dogs on vacation with us. The house could use a new microwave and improvements in the water pressure for the outside shower.

I loved the low rise steps up to the front door, the stained shiplap planking on walls, the cathedral ceiling in main room, the old rattan ceiling fan with light fixture, the bay window in dining area, the large screened porch with swing, fully furnished kitchen, and large master bedroom. The walls had upscale framed outer banks artwork and ocean theme decor. Very beachy and relaxing.

8/10

The property has a rustic cabin, old beach house feeling. The kitchen is well stocked. Loved the barrel dining table. Loved sitting on screened in porch playing games at night. Short walk to the beach was a plus ! Needs some upgrades like new screening on porch and half bath fixtures and would suggest a ceiling fan on the screened in porch ( we bought a box fan for our stay).. Other than that we loved our stay there!

It is well furnished and functional, has the conveniences needed for a comfortable stay by the sea. Nothing fancy. Easy walk to the sand. We love this little cottage! We hope to always come back.

This house was perfect for 6. We didn’t have more or less than we needed in space so the value was there. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. We enjoyed putting together several of the house puzzles while there. The beach was only a short walk from the house and there were at least 2 public access points we could get onto close by. The beds were comfy and the AC worked well and kept us cooled. I wasn’t impressed with Vacasa as a rental manager though, which is no stain to the house owners. The check in time isn’t until 6pm, which is super late. I called multiple time up in advance of our stay about early checkin and was told first “we’ll call by 2pm that day you if you can checkin early” then on another call I was told to give a call when we arrived to see if we could get in. I received my check in email around 9am with the code. We arrived at noon and called ( which took forever but super pleasant agent) and I was told the house hadn’t been cleaned and we would not be able to checkin until 6pm. So we sat at the house outside from noon on. Come 5 pm no cleaners ever showed up. Eventually we entered the house only to find fresh towels and sheets already done, so it had been cleaned in advance if my noon call. We sat outside for hours waiting when we could have been inside. I’ve rented several times in OBX and this checkin process by far was the most painful. We had our dog with us and I just wanted to ensure we weren’t melting all day waiting, so I could make plans to keep him out of the hot sun while we waited. I received a text to rate the cleaning of the house and I let them know the vacuum was clearly broken. Which implies that the carpets haven’t been vaccumed appropriately nor could I clean up after myself. The rep told me sorry, but they can’t send a vacuum over. Super dissatisfied with that. So, house/location/value = great Vacasa customer service= friendly agents and crappy processes

8/10

It’s a great property, good location close to beach & dining, but some of the amenities are dated and could use some updating. Toilet in master bedroom needs new flapper in tank, dishwasher is not secured to counter were the 2 that should be addressed.

Great location and affordable in a nice neighborhood. But the ceiling in one of the bedrooms was coming down with water damage, and according to the guest book has been an unresolved issue for months. It left the whole place with a musty, mildewy smell.

We loved the enclosed porch and the privacy. The home had everything we might have needed. It's close to the beach and pier and some great restaurants. There's nothing fancy or pristine about it, which was just what we wanted.

I looooove the Paradise Penthouse. When my father was traveling with me (recently passed at age 91 years) he had an awesome experience with the ramp to the beach and viewing deck. The elevator was great for him and he was able to enjoy the beach from the viewing deck without having to struggle walking on the beach. The ability to travel with my dog was probably the number one reason I book this property. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
