Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we made great use of the space and enjoyed it. There were several issues that could be addressed for a more pleasant stay:-The couch downstairs needs replaced. It was so old and dirty looking that we did not even use that space. -There needs to be some window coverings on the two ocean side bedrooms downstairs. The sheers that are on there are nice during the daytime but offer no privacy which is a problem since the sliding door and windows are accessible from the decks outside. -When we arrived the house had a terrible smell which was exacerbated by the warmth of the house. We were able to air it out in a few hours with the exception of the smell inside the refrigerator, but it was not a good first impression. -Other minor issues included the grill and bottom deck need cleaned, shower curtain liner needs replaced, mirrors added to all of the bedrooms, stove eyes need fixed for pans to sit flat and cook evenly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is certainly nicer in person than in pics. Owners have managed to update the property without losing the beachhouse charm. Felt way more authentic than the average corolla mcmansion.Located at the end of a dead end far from any cross streets so a great place to walk a dog or for kids on bikes.Cleaning service missed a few things but they let us in early so call it a wash. Beach realty customer service was noticeably better than some other agencies we have used.

We travel with 6 adults and 1 large dog...there is plenty of space for all to spread out. The experience of oceanfront living room and deck is wonderful--we spend a lot of time on the beach, but it's also great just to hang around at the house to watch the water. This is a very quiet section of Ocean Sands, even more so than others, so fewer lights at night = good stargazing. See you next summer!

Reviewer Comments: The house was spacious, equipped with everything needed, has a great view of the ocean from the top floor, the sliding door in the kitchen would not lock properly so we had to put a baby gate to secure it, the walk to the beach was short and while we were there, the AC broke. We contacted the realty company and it was fixed within a couple of hours. The only real issue is that the WiFi was not secured so we did not use it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family enjoyed our stay. The location and views are excellent. The house had everything we needed. I would however suggest that they leave a few cleaning items such as Windex and Lysol so we can keep the place sparkling. I was concerned with the stairs in the front of the house. It is a wooden spiral like staircase which was tricky and the railing was low and I was concerned someone could fall over it. Also the deck stairs in the back of the house going up to the top deck was shaky. We had a problem with midges for 3 of the nights we stayed there and could not use the decks or grill. There were thousands of them. The screen doors were covered. I don't think this problem was one that was exclusive to this house. I think everyone was having this problem. Once there was a thunderstorm and the winds changed the bugs left. Also there is no private walkway to the beach. There is a private walkway leading to the public access to the beach. Over all it was a great stay.

Kitchen has everything a chef can ask for. We are every meal at the house no need to go out. The carpets were a little worn would have preferred hardwood. No pool but did not need one with a baby in the house. Had high chair, gate, and packin play for the baby. Hot tub was used once. The beach was absolutely gorgeous. The family reunion of 75 people for the week included both Ocean Sands b and c developments so we were all close. Will definitely recommend the property

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented several homes in OBX but this is far and away my favorite. It has a magic I haven't felt at other rental homes. There's so much light and it has a fantastic view of the ocean from the top level. Access to the beach is right by the house and there are decks off the kitchen as well as the master bedroom. Unless I want to stay on Hatteras Island, I will always stay in Dolphin Destination!

We have stayed in the OBX 3 other times, but this trip was certainly our best! Great job and thanks for the clear and easy text communications as we came into town. We hope to stay with you again!

This property was not well maintained and also dirty. The AC vents were dirty, the fans dusty, the couches and comforters had stains on them, the toilet bowls were brown (there were no toilet brushes) and the rugs did not appear to have been deep/steam cleaned ever. The provided beach chairs were all not functioning and rusty except two and the outdoor shower stall was filled with old beach stuff. There was a charcoal grill in the tiny back yard area (no gas grill on the deck). The worst experience we had was to find the upper decks, windows and sidings infested by mosquitos. We were not able to enjoy the deck as did our neighbors because a swarm of mosquitos would hatch every three days (we stayed for two weeks) and occupy the deck for a couple of days or two and then the cycle would repeat. We did eventually report this to the rental company but did not get a response. Otherwise the rental company was very responsive and did provide clean comforters and a vacuum and cleaning material for us upon our request.Our experience staying in this property negatively affected an otherwise lovely vacation in one of the best locations and beach areas in Corolla. Thankfully we had the beach to escape to.

Wonderful views of the ocean from the large windows and multiple decks. The house is just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. We would highly recommend this rental and Beach Realty.

Very easy great experience.

We stayed at Dolphin Destination with our sons and their families for a week in November. The house was set up with ideal spaces for preparing food together, eating, and gathering for games and conversation. Each family had its own space as well. The beach was steps away- every morning and sunset we were all gathered there. The hot tub was the after beach warm up. We enjoyed biking and exploring the Outer Banks. Everything we needed - or just found convenient!- was provided. We all highly recommend. Thank you for the thoughtful setup and provision of conveniences!!

We rented this home the two previous years as well, and have always found it to be clean and very well maintained. The thought and consideration that the owners have put into the decor and comforts for their guests is excellent and very much appreciated. It's location right on the beach is ideal.

Enough space for everyone to get some away time too. Thank you for sharing your home with us !

We are so happy we made this choice.. amazing location and experience. We did have 2 minor issues (electrical and HVAC) and in both cases the management response was immediate and addressed both issues. Thank you!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is getting expensive for the age/ condition. Convenient location [oceanfront] but layout of home doesn't take advantage of the ocean views. Several items were requested to be repaired [screen door, dripping faucet, A/C vent in Owner's Suite can't be shut] remained unfixed. Would probably look for other ocean front properties if we didn't have a small dog with us. Questionable on making a recommendation to others.

The owners make it feel like home and it’s not over the top fancy but that is why we like it. We had one issue that they addressed right away the downstairs air conditioning wasn’t working. They came that same day and the owners were on top of it as they had to order a new unit but Beach Realty called us to keep us updated and made sure we stayed cool and got us some window units which worked wonderfully! I also wanted to give a shout out to how fast they addressed this and checked on us throughout our stay! Can’t wait for next year!
