Dolphin Delight is a fabulous family friendly Semi-Oceanfront 5 Bedroom 4.5 Bath home with Private Pool and Spa. It is located only steps from a great beach and in the heart of Avon. Enjoy ocean views from either of the two decks facing the ocean and watch over the pool and volleyball court from the two decks facing the sound side of the island.

Your family will not want to leave this wonderful second lot back home in Avon. Dolphin Delight will provide the perfect location to get away from it all. Covered parking under the house and a convenient dry entry that opens to the first level will make move-in a breeze.

The four bedrooms on the first level make for a peaceful retreat. Each bedroom on this level has a 32” flat-screen TV with a DVD player. Two queen master suites on this level offer direct access to a covered deck overlooking the pool and volleyball court. The third queen bedroom has a door into a semi-private bathroom. The fourth bedroom has a bunk set and a single bed with a trundle. These two bedrooms have direct access to a covered deck with ocean views. The laundry is also on this level.

On the top level, vaulted ceilings and large windows provide abundant natural light and offer ocean views. Watch a movie on the 55” flat-screen TV. All TV's have Smart TV capabilities with Spectrum Cable and DVD players. The sunny kitchen with breakfast bar is adjacent to the dining area, which has easy access to the spacious ocean-facing sundeck. The sun/game room includes a three-in-one bumper-pool table that can be used as a dining table, poker table or bumper pool table. From here there is also direct access out to the top deck overlooking the pool area, where there is a seating group under a covered portion and a picnic table for an outdoor eating option. Off the living area is a warm and inviting master bedroom with a king-size bed. This master also has direct access to the rear sundeck facing west. A half bathroom providing common access completes this level.

The private pool and hot tub are located on the sound-side of the house, with ample deck space and lounges for catching the sun rays or watching the children play. Grill your meals on either the gas grill located on the pool deck or at the charcoal grill in front of the house. Dolphin Delight’s fantastic location provides easy access to popular shopping, restaurants, water sports rental shops, and fishing/bait and tackle, as well as favorite ice cream shops.

There is convenient beach access one house south or two houses north of Dolphin Delight where you will find a wonderful sandy beach. There are two outdoor showers to freshen you up as you return from the beach. Store your gear in the under-house lockable storage room. Clean your catch of the day at the fish cleaning table while your kids play basketball out front or volleyball out back.

Prepare for good times during day and night at Dolphin Delight.

    We had a wonderful 24 hours. We were evacuated Sunday evening at 6:00 due to hurricane Erin. We have stayed here many years and this is the first that this has happened. This house has all the amenities and is a very easy walk to the beach. Wish we would hav3 had better weather to stay all week

    My family and I loved this house! Wonderful property, plenty of space and the pool was wonderful after being on the beach all day. It’s close to Foodlion, Duck Donuts and many retail shops without feeling like you’re too close. Great communication from Jeff, the host. Great trip, great host and fantastic property. We’ve already started talking about next year at Dolphin Delight!

    Clean, well appointed, great kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals when you choose. Wonderful view of ocean from comfortable Adirondack Chairs - including Sunrise! Beautiful Sunsets from soundside decks! Don’t forget the pool and hot tub and you have everything you could ask for in a beach vacation!!!

    The Weather didn't help the first few days, but there was plenty at the house to entertain all. Pool, games, and even a short outing helped keep the kids happy. The rooms were Clean, spacious, and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed for our busy meals. By the end of the week, the weather improved so that we could enjoy the Short walks to the Beach. Thank you.

    This house was wonderful for our needs and just a short walk to the beach. The kids loved the pool and hot tub for those not-so-good beach days. Thanks for a great stay!

    We have stayed in different spots every year in the OBX, and this was the first that has us thinking we’ll be back for a second stay. It was definitely the perfect spot for us and the house was great!

    The property was clean and really well equipped. Everything you need for a large group. It’s a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute drive to the supermarket. Having the pool and hot tub made it even better for relaxing at the end of the day. Highly recommend staying here. The owner is very responsive and helpful.

    The property was good. Ocean was rough so enjoyed the pool a lot. Did have to get used to the steps. Had a minor problem with fleas showing up on the pet but otherwise enjoyed the stay.

    We want to thank Jeff and his wife for making this a perfect vacation! Everything was so easy from arrival to departure. The home was exactly as described and there were absolutely no surprises. Plenty of room for our family of 9 to be together in the common area. Besides the beautiful ocean view every room was decorated in a costal theme. We all truly enjoyed the swimming pool too. It was so relaxing after spending a day fishing on the beach!

    Dolphin Delight did not disappoint. The home was clean and comfortable. The pool, hot tub and game room added even more fun to our OBX activities. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to feed our group. The beach access is just one house away. DD is more than dog friendly. It is dogcentric. The owners thoughtfully provided dog dishes, dog mats and a space specifically for our furry friend’s food and water. The owner was responsive and helpful throughout the process. When we arrived we had some issues with the TV and the hot tub. Both were resolved promptly. We would also like to mention the delightful welcome basket we received upon arrival. In addition to the usual paper towels, etc., the owners provided playing cards, beach toys, note pads (great for making Food Lion lists and keeping score during card games), trash bags, OBX info, etc. A family wedding will prevent a 2025 trip but if we return to OBX in 2026 we will definitely consider Dolphin Delight
