                    Thank you so much for everything! This is the first time my family and I have been to Wrightsville Beach and your bungalow has made it truly memorable. The interior is gorgeous and the outdoor shower is amazing. Hazel loved the finced in yard while we grilled. We are a very active family and having access to all your toys was amazing! Thanks again for your hospitality and generosity. It was greatly appreciated! Thank you!

                    Thank you so much for a wonderful home during our beach vacation! The condo is just beautiful, and we are so looking to bringing our families back soon! Our favorite moments this week were on the long bike rides we would take everyday - thank you so much for providing the bikes! Our little family leads a very busy and scheduled life, so we were so exicted to have a week of R & R at the Dolphin Watch Bungalow! Thanks so much!

                    We really enjoyed our vacation in your beach house, especially the outdoor shower and use of the kayaks. We already googled kayaks for a future purchase! Walking to the beach was wonderful and being able to leave our car in the carport was great. Thanks for sharing your wonderful beach house and we hope to come again.

                    My wife, puppy, and I had an incredible experience at the Dolphin Watch Bungalow. The owners covered every detail - from the gratis use of bikes and beach equipment, to the thoughtful and very useful binder of information on the area. Additionally, the unit was spacious and spotless upon our arrival, and included every amenity we could ask for. While the owners live above the unit, they were very respectful of our privacy (and even tolerated our barking puppy!) We would choose this place again in a heartbeat!

                    Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay in the Dolphin Watch Bungalow! It was a memorable introduction to Wrightsville Beach and we can't wait to get to know it better next year! We also didn't mind the rain too much - we rediscovered a passion for puzzles in the games chest! The outdoor shower was a godsend after a hot day on the beach. We loved it. It was great to stay in a place that was so homey but beautiful.

Warm welcome by the owner and plenty of information provided regarding local activities. The outdoor shower was a definite plus. Highly recommend.

                    We have really enjoyed our week here at the bungalow. Time really flew while here. Your place is great - comfortable, relaxing and a great location here at the beach. Thank you, Fran, for your thoughtfulness with my birthday balloon - very sweet of you. Rosebud also enjoyed her doggie self and patio area. When John and I return to the area, hopefully your calendar will be open for us! Have fun always. VRBO rules!

                  Year Purchased: 2005

                  About the owner: We love Wrightsville Beach, so much so that we've made it our home. The minute we cross the drawbridge on our way back from our respective jobs as psychologist & life coach, we leave all worries behind. Almost daily, we either walk the beach at low tide, or when it's high tide, we walk the 3.5 mile 'loop' around the center of Wrightsville Beach. We make the most of living by the water by taking short sunset cruises around Harbor Island - If you twist his arm just a little bit, and for a small fee, Cap'n Chris might even give you a little boat tour of the area. We also love to take morning kayak padddles through the tidal creeks - you can't imagine the quiet or the thrill of coming upon a flock of roosting Ibis, egrets or herons - and rake a few clams for dinner. For a bit more excitement, my husband and son head to the beach to catch some waves, sometimes even alongside a family of dolphins. And if you have any trouble or are looking for a restaurant, museum or babysitter recommendation, you don't have to go far - we live on the 2nd floor!
