About this property
Dolphin Delight - Semi Ocean Front home with pool
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.

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!
This is our 20th year visiting Avon, by far Dolphin Delight is our most favorite home: great location, spacious, fantastic amenities and the owner is extremely hospitable.
This is our 3rd year staying in this hime and we absolutely love it. Very convenient location, great amenities and owner is awesome! We will be back next year!
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.
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 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!
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.
We had a fantastic week at Dolphin Delight. We were immediately happy with our choice when we opened the doors. It was immaculately clean and the beach was just a short walk away (viewable from the spacious decks). Jeff was very easy to get ahold of. We thought we had an issue and contacted him and he got right back to us (there was not an issue).
We will be back for sure!
This is our second stay at this house. We really love it here. Avon is very quiet and the location of this house is really nice. Super short walk to the beach. The set up is great for a large group and for kids. The kitchen is very well stocked and week cooked every night. Pool and hot tub are great. The only small thing I wish the host would do is switch the TV's to streaming/smart tvs. We travel with small kids who need a break and while they do have it hooked up to basic cable and a DVD player there are so many remotes and we couldn't get it to work half the time. I realize that's a SMALL critique about an overall great property but might be helpful to other families. But overall FIVE stars for sure. The host is also easy to reach and helpful.
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
My family ranging from 3 years old to well...retired, enjoyed a wonderful stay at Dolphin Delight!
This house had everything! I brought things like extra hand soap and muffin tins, but all was provided. There are several large serving trays for charcuterie by the pool or large dinners, and service for at least 8. I was pleasantly surprised!
We stayed while a hurricane was offshore. It was wonderful to have the pool, especially in the back of the house, for windy days. The over wash from the ocean really came up a couple of the days. The folks across the street (Ocean Side houses) had trouble parking their cars out of the water and loading unload in knee deep water. We were high and dry at Dolphin Delight! We also received texts from Jeff to alert us to the possibility of high water and rip currents.
Linens provided were also already on the beds at arrival. Such a nice touch after a long road trip.
This property exceeded expectations, and I would highly recommend!
Check in was super easy, the kitchen had everything we needed, close access to the beach, the pool and hot tub were great, host was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed our 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!
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!
