A nice house . Could use some updating, but it was perfect for the price.

Lovely home that was obviously well cared for…everyone was comfortable there. Downstairs bedroom smelled mildewey but I imagine bedrooms on ground floors oceanfront have that problem regularly.

The house is roomy with great access to the beach.

My family and I with young children had a great time at the house. The location was great and owners very responsive and accommodating.

Never been to Sunset Beach before and this was the perfect spot to get acquainted with the area. Convenient to pier and public access. House was clean and kitchen was well equipped. We like to cook and Bill's seafood was a great resource. Great supply of games and beach equipment. Loved the screen porch and open deck. Excellent beach house!

Great place to stay for a family. Very clean and set-up for family worked great. Will stay again.

You cannot beat the beach access from this house, and sitting on the balcony/screened porch with the cool ocean breeze blowing was our absolute favorite. Our combined families of 12 people slept very comfortably here, and the kitchen was the most well-stocked of any VRBO we’ve been to. Thermostat broke while we were there, and property maintenance man had it replaced the same day we called. Would definitely stay again.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was a great size for our family of 10 adults and kids. Best feature was the GREAT screened porch. It was big, well-furnished and well-shaded all day long.
I love to cook and the kitchen was furnished much better than most rentals with utensils, cutting boards and good-quality cookware,
The beach area was very nice as well. Not too crowded, a gentle slope good for the kids, and fine firm sand great for bike-riding.
I would definitely recommend and return!

We loved every minute of our stay at The Grey Dolphin. The house was clean and comfortable. We especially loved the porch for sitting and listening to the crashing waves. It was peaceful and exactly the type of vacation we were looking for.
10.0 / 10.0
We will be back. easy walk to the beach and great house for a family getaway. We cooked everyday and had everything in the kitchen we needed. Extra chairs and toys were also useful. Thanks

We spent a great week at the Grey Dolphin. The proximity to the beach is great. The kitchen is well stocked. We prepared several dinners and it had everything I needed. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Any inquiry I had was quickly answered. We loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off after a hot, sandy day at the beach.
10.0 / 10.0
We have been regular guests at this house. It has a great beachfront location and lots of stuff on hand so we don't need to pack as much.
10.0 / 10.0
This house was perfect for our 2-family vacation.
Everything was spotless on check-in, and the appliances all seemed new. I texted the owner a couple of times with minor questions, and the response time was almost immediate. The location is perfect, right on the beach access and a very short walk to the shops and the pier. We especially enjoyed Sunset Slush for the best Italian Ice I've ever had, and the Island Market has great T-shirts, basic grocery items, and super-friendly people working there. We even met Chikka, the owner's adorable rescue dog. The house is extremely-well-equipped for vacationers. Beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and cart are provided, making the walk down to the beach a lot easier. There's a place to rinse your feet when you come up from the beach, and there's also a fully-enclosed outdoor shower with excellent water pressure. The screened porch was amazing, and we watched a beautiful thunderstorm from it one night. The attention to detail inside the house was also wonderful, with boxes of Kleenex in every room, a nightlight in each bathroom, and a fully stocked first aid kit in the living room. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, including brand-new oven mitts and salt and pepper. I really liked the way laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were all provided. This is definitely one of the best houses I've ever rented, and I highly recommend it!
8.0 / 10.0
Overall it was as very good experience. The property is as listed. GREAT location on the beach. The house is immediately adjacent to the beach path so you are as close as you can be to the water - less than a one minute walk. There is a convince store, coffee bar and ice cream store that are a two minute walk from the property. All of the amenities on the property were as advertised and worked as promised. Our party did find some of the signage in the house off-putting. Many items are tagged with the cost if lost or damaged - Beach Chair, $60 if missing, SpikeBall, $40 if missing. We understand that missing or damaged items will need to be replaced by the renters but it does smack of a college spring break house rather than the family vacation that we took.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our time at this house! It was a perfect layout for a family, including a separate entrance for the downstairs bedroom that gave that person more privacy. The beach was just a short walk and the house is also close to entrance road to the bridge, where there was an ice cream shop, perfect for the kids.
The hosts were great at communicating and very responsive to questions.
We’ll definitely be back!

We have stayed here many times and will continue to go back. The house has a convenient set up for families with older children and a perfect location on the beach and a short walk to the "town."

10.0 / 10.0
We had a great week in Sunset Beach and the house for the most part met our family needs.
Pros …
Location to beach access terrific
Roomy back porch - used a lot
Essential items for kitchen, bathrooms and laundry included
Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and toys were great
Private outdoor shower was nice
Cons …
Small Jack and Jill bathrooms
Standard height toilets on main floor
Narrow kitchen layout
What could be improved …
More small spoons supplied in kitchen
Ice maker in fridge barely makes ice and not fast enough for large group
Update toilets to chair height for older adults
Update tub/showers to walk-in showers with glass doors would be nice
Light bulbs burned out or not working inside and out.

The Grey Dolphin was very clean and well stocked, just as it was described in the rental information. The bedding was especially nice and very comfy. The inside living area is not overly spacious, but the screened-in porch on the oceanside of the house is fantastic and adds significant space for relaxation and time together. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom are very clean with great temp control. We had an excellent stay and definitely recommend this vrbo rental.

Too cozy for big family, narrow kitchen
This was a family trip with eight grandkids age18 to 6 mos and six adults, our first trip to Sunset Beach. Very different from other North Carolina beaches. Houses are set farther back, everything is a bit longer walk, and no real ocean view. That being said we were right on the access near the pier which helped but lacks privacy, Always hearing people below our windows. Being on the public access also means it can be very crowded especially since it was Fourth of July. Leaving our house was not convenient so we were Thankful for Publix delivery!!!! If we come back to Sunset, I would pick a place further down the beach Away from the pier. This is not a lifeguarded area so you really need to keep your eyes on the kids. The Current pulls them quickly towards the pier which is dangerous. appreciated the booster seat, pack and play, lots of sand toys and beach games available.(along with posted replacement cost!) However, the kitchen was not very kid friendly. There was no plastic glasses or plates and the Dishes were Very heavy, Actually the dishwasher door was broken, and would drop without notice catching me in the shin. At one point the bottom tray fell out with the heavy dishes. Can’t believe nothing broke! We gave up and bought paper plates. Maintenance came out and offered to come back to try to repair it but acknowledged it really just needed to be replaced completely. so hopefully that’s being done. The kitchen was very narrow, we joked it was a “1 butt kitchen only”! Yet it is advertised as a large kitchen. Lots of pots and pans, but no organization to them so we were constantly digging through the cabinets To find what we needed.
On the plus side, the house had beds to fit our group of 13, and the beds were pretty comfortable. You need to be aware that the downstairs bedroom has a completely separate entrance. We had a responsible teenager in charge of the kids in that room and it worked okay but we ended up leaving a door unlocked all night so that they could come upstairs if needed . The living area was cozy. Not really enough room for everyone to sit and watch a movie together, which our group liked to do. But there were extra chairs so we could pile around the kitchen table when we had family games. Admit we had a conflict early, a couple of our teens tried to “help out” and offered parking in our driveway…. We Appreciate mot getting sent home early! Overall had a good week but wouldnt rent this house again for this group

Our First Trip to Sunset Beach
The property was very clean, and the layout perfect for our family size and ages. Decorated to make us feel at home on the beach. The porch was awesome. There to celebrate a surprise 80th birthday with extended family(like a reunion). Most all siblings, nieces/nephews also rented a property at Sunset Beach, but we had the best location.
Our stay at the Gray Dolphine was great.

Great Stay Close to Beach
We stayed for a week with another family (4 adults and 4 younger kids total). It was the perfect-sized place for us. Location is great, right on the dunes and a direct walk to the beach (keep in mind the dunes are pretty big at Sunset so it's still a 3-4 min walk if you are with kids or carrying lots of stuff). It was our first time at Sunset Beach and we loved it. Definitely recommend this house!

Lovely home
The house was very well done and had everything we needed for our week stay. It was clean and everything was in working order. Because of our family make up, we actually need a little bit larger house but we had a wonderful week.

Perfect for families
This property was a perfect place for a family reunion…plenty of room for 10 adults…and everything you would need is supplied! Very clean and a great location. David was very responsive to my text messages and he made sure everything was perfect for our stay! We will definitely stay here again when we are at Sunset Beach!

Great Week!
This beautiful beach home had everything we needed! It was extremely clean and welcoming! The location is a very short walk to the beach!

Great Spring Break
Had a wonderful spring break week while staying at the Grey Dolphin. The home was conveniently located with easy access to the beach and the small shops. The home was nicely clean and had all the amenities you would hope for when staying a week away from home. We loved our time and we would certainly come back in the future.

Sunset Beach
Very comfortable house, although a bit far from the beach, even though it is first row. No good views of the ocean. All bathrooms are shared. The porch is wonderful. All appliances were clean and in working order. It was very nice to be able to do laundry.

The house was perfect for 6 adults and 4 children ranging from 9 years old to 3 months old. Clean, full of amenities for the adults and the kids and the location is great! Beach access right in the backyard, which was super convenient with the kids. The screened in porch was amazing! Owners were very responsive and helpful - would absolutely recommend the house and hope to be back soon!

This was our first time in Sunset Beach as a family. My husband & I, our 4 adult children and 2 spouses and our 2 grandchildren stayed in the house. We had a wonderful time. Our host was very responsive during our stay - checking in to make sure everything was in good order upon our arrival as well as answering our emails promptly during the stay. The location is convenient to local restaurants, ice cream shops, and fresh seafood markets. The deck views were beautiful from sunrise to sunset. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation Spot
We just got back for a 2 weeks stay and we had the best experience. The location is amazing. The house is the perfect size. The owner is available and responsive. All the details [full size washer/dryer, reverse osmosis water, beach chairs/umbrellas, etc.] were thought through and made for a great experience. Also, the screened in porch was a winner! I highly recommend this property.
