Perfect for Family
My family and I (husband and my parents) stayed at Dolphin Retreat this January for a wedding on Harker's Island. It was the best location in proximity to the church and venue which were both on the island. The house was spacious and accommodating. We joked that none of us would leave. Kim was responsive as I messaged her the night of check-in to determine what I needed to grab at the grocery store on the way in. I wish I had more time to enjoy the house and beautiful views. We are planning to come back to visit friends, and would love to stay here again.

Beautiful property, great location.
Beautiful property and great location. It's in a very new community. Great views of the intercoastal area.
Has two amazing family rooms. Plenty of seating. Dollar General is 4 minutes away. Harker's Island Visitor Center is 6 minutes away.
Kitchen could use a 10" pan for cooking.

Love Harker’s Island house
Great well- kept house. Clean and fresh upon arrival. Nice linens, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, ample parking. Close to Harker’s Island ferry with access to National Seashore and Lighthouse. Owner is accommodating and easy to communicate with. Look forward to another vacation next year. Thank you.

Beautiful, functional house!
We stayed here for work. The house is large, clean and would easily suite a big group. It was everything that we needed.

Beautiful!
Dolphin Retreat checked off every box for our family. It was fresh and clean, the beds slept well and it even had nice water views from the loving room. It was also conveniently located near Harker's Island Fishing Center, where we kept our boat for only $20 / night. The price was also very fair. We plan to return in the summer of 2024. Loved it!
