Description
Twin Dolphin is the perfect size for those looking for charming accommodations while still delivering on lots of vacation fun! This comfortable three-bedroom ocean-side home comes with charming decor and furnishings in a pleasing living room/dining/kitchen combination area. Relax and watch some shows on one of two TVs or watch a movie with two available VCRs and two DVD players. The three bedrooms will be perfect for taking a quick rest to recharge your batteries. In addition to the TVs, plenty of board games and books will help provide lots of indoor fun for the kids. And since Twin Dolphin is just four lots up from the beach, ocean fun is never far away. The location of this home is on a quiet street, perfect for the kids to run around and play while the adults relax on the sundeck with built-in seating. The large screened porch with a swing and picnic table will be a great place to enjoy an evening meal while you wait for a beautiful sunset. Twin Dolphin also offers a lockable storage room with a washer/dryer and has a new outdoor shower. You'll also enjoy being close to the OBR Pool and Avon Pier. With delightful comfort and lots of fun extras in a pretty ocean-side location, you'll definitely have a fun and memorable Outer Banks vacation when you stay at Twin Dolphin this year!
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.

Nice place to stay. The master bed is just a bit too soft for me, but others my like it. Great location, close to everything. Excellent parking as there is ample room under the house.

This cottage is your wonderful classic beach cottage steps away from the beach. Nothing fancy but was clean and simple. Met our needs. New Beach access was nice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Vacasa service was extremely responsive! Water line broke, no running water. We reported it and it was fixed within the hour!

Beautiful location
The house is dated, but the location is fantastic, being only a very short walk from the beach and minutes from any needed amenities.
The check-in process is a little painful, with such a late check-in and then they let you know it is available early, however it is inconvenient when you are planning your trip to arrive for your scheduled check in.
Once you get past the automated attendant and get to a real person, the property management team is fantastic. After a city wide power outage, the AC to the house didn’t kick back in. Once I got a live person, they had the issue resolved within hours.
Overall, a beautiful location and the house had everything you need to have an amazing time at the beach.

We enjoyed our vacation week at the Twin Dolphin. The house was OK - good location, well equipped. The screened in Porch was nice. It could use some updates on the furniture and the outside deck needs to be replaced. The hose was very clean when we arrived & it was available early for check-in.

We had a great time at Rancho Relaxo! The accommodations were perfect for our family. The condo was well kept and very clean. I loved having the deck to sit on each night as I listened to the waves crashing! I was glad there was a laundry facility as I washed up the towels after the beach and also some clothes so I didn`t have to do laundry when I returned home. The beach was a simple walk down the boarded path and the beach was rarely crowded. We enjoyed having such a great space to stay, cook, relax and enjoy life for a week!

We had a great time at Dolphin Watch. The best part - the beach wasn`t crowed and only a two minute walk to the beach. We set up early and could walk back to the house for lunch, restroom, etc. For 20+ years, we have our family vacation at OBX. We normally stay right on the sound but directly on the beach was convenient, no need to drive the truck to get there or on it. The house doesn`t mention a large dog create, baby gate, play pin, play station, hair dryers, a couple of beach chairs, sand toys and a closet full of games. All of which we packed. We will definitely stay at Dolphin Watch again! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
