If you're looking to relax near the sparkling ocean, Dancing Dolphin is the house for you. This lovely, oceanside, four-bedroom home has fabulous wrap-around porches, a screened dining deck, and a rooftop sundeck for your ocean-viewing pleasure. Situated two lots back from the ocean, Dancing Dolphin provides easy beach access as well. Family and friends will love it here, as well as furry companions, who are welcome for a nightly fee. Spend your mornings on the sand, your afternoons cooking your fresh catch on the grill, and your evenings unwinding in the private hot tub. (The hot tub is enclosed in a screened porch for privacy and all-weather availability.) For indoor entertainment, there are three cable TVs and an extensive DVD collection for both kids and adults. A new media room/virtual office creates a space for both focus and fun. Snacks and homemade dishes can be made in the well stocked kitchen. The home is within walking distance to numerous restaurants, ice cream shops, and bait /tackle shops. There's plenty of room for everyone with four bedrooms and a den. Two of the bedrooms, a king and a queen, are primary bedrooms with private bathrooms. The third bedroom has a double and a queen bed and the fourth offers a double and a single bed. The den includes a double futon and a video library for everyone to enjoy. There's also a workstation desk area available for the traveling professional. With a little bit of everything, this is a wonderful house where you can bask in the simplicities of life at the beach.
Please Note: As a barrier island, Hatteras is constantly changing. Beach conditions, dunes, and access points may vary due to erosion, restoration projects, weather, and other environmental factors.

We loved the house and the location. Please be aware of a leak in the drain directly above the hose on the lowest level.

Everything was as described. Hatteras Realty communicated promptly. The house was clean and very well stocked, especially the kitchen. The owners provided everything you needed for a relaxing family vacation.

Fantastic area and a great house for enjoying the beach and local food. Expansive screened in porches add to the atmosphere and views. The picnic table on the porch was our go-to for every meal and the upper deck is a must for sunset. We already want to come back.

The house was tastefully decorated with a coastal theme that was not over the top or "cutesy." The owners obviously took a lot of care with the decor. Well-appointed kitchen with cabinets labeled as to location of items. That made it a lot easier to find things and to replace them.

This was an excellent vacation rental for our family trip to Avon. Plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 children. Beach access is very close and convenient. Hot tub was not used during the hot summer, but would be nice to use in the off-season. Great rental!

Nice house
The stay was great. I was hoping to stay again this year in the same house for our annual fishing tournament the 3rd weekend in October but the listing this year makes you stay for 7 days Saturday to Saturday so that will not work for us this year. We stayed Wednesday to Sunday. The house was perfect. Hopefully next year it will not be a 7 day minimum in October

I've been renting houses on Hatteras Island for decades and this house was, by far, the most well-stocked kitchen I've encountered. I also appreciated and initial stock of supplies for the kitchen: paper towels, dish soap, and dishwasher powder.
The bedrooms and living room were comfortable and there were several games and puzzles available. The hot tub was great and beach access is across the street.
I do wish the lower porch was accessible from the interior of the house.

Beautiful home with lots of amenities
Home was a great place for our family to stay. If we had one complaint, there are a lot of stairs, but once you're in, mostly everything is easy to get to. Beach access is right across the street too. Awesome home, will rent again!

Perfect
Clean and spacious, walking distance to beach. Beds are comfy. Plenty of options to relax inside or on the many decks, in the deck chair or hammock, we liked it. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking. Recommended. Replace the carpet in the bedrooms with hardwood and it would be more than perfect.

A wonderful stay
The property was clean, accommodating, and had everything we needed and then some. The large multi-level porches were great, you could see the ocean from the top level, and there was a hot-tub and hammock for relaxation. The beach access was a minute walk from the door. The kitchen had every conceivable cookware and appliances, there were pet items available, and tons of boardgames and puzzles. This property is the easiest recommendation I can make.

Great Week at the Dancing Dolphin!
This was our second stay at the Dancing Dolphin 106. The kitchen was well stocked. It is conveniently located to the path to the beach. It is dog friendly. Linens were included for the beds and towels for the bathrooms, which was a great surprise. We would definitely stay here again!

What A Wonderful Week In Avon!!
Dancing Dolphin is a very comfortable beach home with plenty of room for all our guests. Perfectly located for access to the beach, as well as the restaurants, and shops in Avon. This was my granddaughter's first visit to the OBX, at 11 months old! Dancing Dolphin made it an even more special week for all our family! Thank you!!

Awesome and so relaxed
If you want to get away from all the hustle, esp during these times, Avon is the place to try. This house is well kept w modern touches including a new top deck, decor and nice kitchen finishes. Very clean and so convenient to the canal/sound and easy walk to the beach. Would love to see a dock, hot tub and maybe awning of some sort on part of the deck. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home!

As soon as we arrived, the house was cleaned and everything was in excellent working order. I love that we are able to unpack and settle in as quickly as possible without worrying about any messes or malfunctioning pool equipment or electronics. From start to finish, our stay was memorable and relaxing. My only complaint is that we couldn`t afford to stay longer. I`ve already recommended it to multiple colleagues This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
