About the host
Hosted by Lisa Duffy

Hi, I'm Lisa. My husband, Michael, and I have a special connection with Emerald Isle, a picturesque coastal town in North Carolina. We first fell in love with Emerald Isle in 1988 when we got married, and since then, it has become a regular destination for us and our children.
Over the years, Emerald Isle has truly become a second home for us. We have created countless memories and had joyful experiences in this beautiful beach town. One of the most unforgettable moments was when our youngest daughter got married here. The magical atmosphere and stunning views made it a truly special occasion for everyone involved.
While we eagerly anticipate retiring in Emerald Isle in the future, for now, we find solace and relaxation at A Dolphin Watch, an enchanting oceanfront beach house. It's our own little piece of paradise where we can escape and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Even when other families are not staying there, we're grateful for the opportunity to visit whenever we can.
From long walks on the sandy shores to observing the playful dolphins that frequent the area, Michael and I fully embrace everything Emerald Isle has to offer. Our love for this coastal paradise only continues to grow, and we can't wait for the day when we can call it our permanent home.
Until then, we cherish the times we spend at A Dolphin Watch, savoring the tranquility and eagerly looking forward to our next visit to this cherished oasis on the North Carolina coast.
