Highly recommend
We recently stayed at Dolphins and Dunes vacation rental and had an amazing experience. The spacious rooms and wonderful layout made for a comfortable stay, and being only 2 minutes away from the beach was a huge plus. The sunset views were breathtaking, and the nearby restaurants were convenient for dining out. The showers were amazing, and the location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The golf cart and gas grill provided added convenience for our stay. I can’t say enough great things about this place. One of the main strengths of Dolphins and Dunes is the less crowded beaches compared to other areas down the road. Being close to Topsail sanctuary and the outlet mall was also a great bonus. Overall, I would highly recommend Dolphins and Dunes for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation experience.

Air conditioners are not easily to operate. One leaked all night our first night of stay and kept us up all night! Internet and Roku needs attention as its slow and easily overloaded. House lighting fixtures on first floor are bright daylight and not warm color, with no shades… not ideal and felt cheap to us. Neighbor left bistro lights on their balcony which meant bright shining light into our bedroom window the entire trip. Golf cart had no park brake mechanism so had to park on flat surfaces and the plug outlet is coming off. House also strangely has no easy outside access to the outdoor shower/ hose which would have been useful after beach. So the price was right but this house is clearly a low budget version of the houses in this development. If these little things are important look elsewhere around Dune Allen. We love this development for easy access to the public beach access…. We won’t stay at this house again though!

Best vacation house!
Great vacation location! The area is lively but also relaxed. The rental house was beautiful! Everything was clean upon arrival and held our large family very comfortably! I would recommend this spot to anyone. We will be back!

A wonderful gem close to the beach!
We stayed at Dolphins and Dunes for a little winter break and had a fantastic time! The home was clean and even more spacious than I expected! Perfect for a family or a small group of friends. The neighborhood was peaceful, and the house felt like a home away from home! It's a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach, or you could use the provided golf cart if you have several things you want to take with you. The house itself is decorated so nicely and feels current, but cozy. There are so many fun features - a balcony you where you could relax with a drink and watch the sun go down, a small reading nook upstairs, a nice front porch, a full, spotless kitchen with all the appliances and cooking implements you'd ever need. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to it!

In need of attention
The home itself was decent, and the location was great, but the furnishings are in need of serious attention. Furniture is mismatched and some is even broken. Furniture in living room is terribly uncomfortable and dirty. Rugs in common areas are cheap and dirty. Carpet in bedrooms is very dirty. Headboards in bedrooms aren’t attached to beds and just flop around between bed and wall. Rodent poop fell out of air conditioning unit in upstairs master. The layout of the home is great, and all in all it really could be a very comfortable home with a little attention and new furnishings. Unfortunately, we will not stay here again.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023
