Wonderful home in a peaceful setting

Our stay was perfect. The home was lovely, well equipped, spacious enough for our two teenagers and two smaller children to be comfortable. The home has a lot of outdoor space, including a deck to watch the sunset and a small beach to launch a kayak or SUP. The green spaces were also lovely and well-maintained. The sound side was amazingly peaceful and the beach was a surprisingly short and easy walk. The host was a delight and our neighbors were welcoming. Our 8yo even made fast friends with the family visiting next door.

Beautiful cottage on the bay!

Dolphin House was the perfect place for our family vacation. The cottage is lovely, comfortable, and well-stocked. The view of the bay is gorgeous, and our 4 year old loved playing on her "private beach". Our only regret is that Hurricane Florence forced us to leave early, so we weren't able to enjoy the house for the full week. We will definitely return to Dolphin House for future vacations!

Perfect classic cottage to enjoy incredible sunsets & only a short walk to beach

We had a wonderful stay at the Dolphin House! The location is perfectly situated on Little Lollipop Bay and just a 2 minute walk to the beach, The beds are very comfortable and the decor well suited for this Wrightsville Beach Cottage. We enjoyed kayaking daily, walks on the beach, running the Loop, and biking to Motts for Seafood. Never used the indoor showers as the outdoor shower was fantastic! Susan, the owner, is so hospitable and has made sure that the house is well stocked with good linens, spices in the kitchen, and bath needs. We hope to return next year!

Just a wonderful place

Beautiful location - Sound right there, beach a block and a half away, downtown close. Very nice house with comfortable layout and nice furnishings. Great for adults, small children, and older children. We were in Wrightsville Beach with several other families staying in other houses - and everyone ended up staying at Dolphin house with us most of the time. The owner was easy to work with and very responsive to our questions and requests. Most highly recommended!

PEACEFUL PARADISE

When we arrived the house was clean the beds were made an the sun was shining. This home sits right on the bay and is just a block to the ocean, the best of both. I was staying with two of my college aged kids and five of there friends. The only complaint they had was that we were only staying a week. They did go ATV muddling and jet skiing, but said they could have spent the whole week in the backyard. The kayaks at the house and the inflatables we brought gave them plenty to do. Late night games on the back deck laughing and having fun made it a great time. The gas grill and well equipped kitchen made meals easy. The owner of this house has made staying a pleasure. We look forward to many more memories at the Dolphin House.

About the host

Hosted by SUSAN HOLMAN

My children grew up enjoying this beach house. As they grew up & moved on to college we began to share this special place. We love this house and spend time here every opportunity.We have wonderful memories made here & you will too.

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up on Wrightsville Sound & knew this was the perfect location for his family. When the property became available he lovingly restored it & we have enjoyed every minute spent here since!We are from Wrightsville Beach &knew this was the perfect location.
No matter how busy or hectic a summer day is at Wrightsville Beach, when you walk out to the porch overlooking the sound, it is quiet peaceful & absolutely stunning. Watching the tide rise & fall & expose all of its beauty is an extraordinary experience.
Rise early & walk the beach, go for a bike ride, a kayak excursion or walk the loop - its all right here. Peaceful & serene but plenty of activity.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy everything this location has to offer: swimming, surfing, kayaking, observing nature, reading, walking on the beach or loop,tennis at WB Park,biking,great meals at sunset on the outside porch, walking or biking downtown WB for an evening ice cream - its all so convenient & great fun
