We really enjoyed our stay! This was my first time at ocean isle, The canals out back provided some entertainment with the turtles since we couldn’t see the ocean, it helped to watch the turtles and we even saw an alligator! A little miscommunication caused us to not be able to rent linens or beach gear in time so we had to purchase both but now we have chairs to take in the future! The seat turtle nests were the highlight of our trip for sure! The house was very clean, and a direct walk of about 5 mins to the beach which wasn’t bad! The pool is further, takes about 10-15 and isn’t really ideal to walk down, so that was a bummer but we got to enjoy the beach because the water was so warm!! Overall a very nice trip

Lots of turtles to watch from the balcony. You should see the Museum on second street. If you are playing put-put golf you can park at the pier for free. Our hosts were very nice.

Great place, great beach, great time with family!

Beautiful condo. Seemed more like a beachy home, which I loved. Well equipped kitchen. Very spacious. Everyone had enough space to do their own thing but family meeting place in lovely kitchen and dining room.

We only had a few days to get away and the Blue Dolphin was perfect. It is a first floor condo and is exactly as described on VRBO. It is just across the street from the beach access which was great for the teens in our group. We saved a little money by bringing our own linens but the tradeoff is you have to make your own beds when you get there. Is it worth it? You'll have to decide for yourself. Jolene was very easy to work with and easy to get in touch with. The only other thing that we found which might be an issue for some is that you are not allowed to have canopies on the beach. You can use umbrellas and the wind-blowing shade things but not tarps or canopies. So just be aware. We had umbrellas so it was not an issue. One of the greatest things for our group was that there was a bathroom for each bedroom. Great location, nice condo, great host to work with, and a very reasonable cost... win-win-win-win situation for our group.

Hands down the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in! The condo was very clean and fully equipped. It has a full size washer and dryer which is amazing when you have five kids. The hosts were very nice and quickly responded to all questions we had. It is conveniently located two streets over from the beach on a very quiet street. The fridge was large and had a working ice machine. I can’t say enough about how nice this condo is. Definitely recommend!

We loved the location. The property is roomy, nice and clean. The owners are great to deal with.

Jolene was such a gracious host and very attentive to our needs. Her place was beautifully decorated with a great beach vibe all throughout the place. It was well stocked in the kitchen with everything we needed and I may mention that it was spotless when we arrived. The beach access was within walking distance we did not even need to rent a golf cart. Would definitely rent again when my family gets together.

First trip to OIB, and we had a great time. The location was great - steps away from beach entry! The condo was spacious and provided all that we needed. And Jolene was fabulous - my daughter left all her swimsuits in a drawer, and when we texted about it, Jolene quickly found them and offered to ship them. I think Jolene was happier to find them then we were...so sweet! Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was perfect for our family with a well stocked kitchen, lots of games, and space for everyone to relax. The owners were very responsive and quick to communicate!

The house was clean and well equipped. Had a great vacation!

Everything was better than I expected. I will definitely stay there again soon.

Worth every penny. This place is clean and spacious. It was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners were great to communicate with.

Excellent communication from the owners from start to finish. They provided a document with extensive information: everything we needed to know and more about the unit, what to bring and what to do in the area. We weren’t able to take advantage of it, but the owner even messaged to let us know that the unit was available early the day we were checking in. The condo was beautifully decorated, there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for the whole family. We opted to rent a golf cart to get to and from the beach and pool, but the distance is walkable. Highly recommend!

We stayed at this condo four years ago and had a great time and really liked it. We had a little bit bigger group this time but decided to try staying here again. The condo handled our group perfectly. With four large bedrooms and four bathrooms, everyone had enough space and privacy. We love the light, the canal views from the deck, the sun that shines in and brightens the place! The proximity to the beach is wonderful and having a membership to the beach club is a real plus because you can walk down there and have lunch and take a swim in the pool. They have good food and yummy drinks. And it was never crowded, even in mid-August. A really nice week in Ocean Isle AGAIN!

The owner was very responsive. What a beautiful villa! The amenities are superb. The villa had everything we needed, large selection of pans for cooking and plenty of storage containers and pitchers. We will definitely stay here again.

Overall our first stay at Ocean Isle was challenging! The property was as described which was good. We did have a few unwelcome critters and there was pretty obvious black mold on one of the bathroom ceilings.

Our family had a great time! Location was very good. Rooms were a good size and kitchen items/utensils were of good quality. Rented golf carts which were very helpful when getting group to pool and beach areas. Would definitely go back!

We enjoyed the property very much. Good access to the beach that wasn't crowed. Kids enjoyed the turtles big and small. Watched a loggerhead turtle come on shore and lay her eggs. I would highly recommend.

All in all nice..couldnt sit on porch in rain leaked through from top

Super friendly hosts that were easy to work with. Nice condo in a beautiful setting just a few minutes walk to beach access. The porch overlooking the turtle pond was perfection in the evenings to unwind.

We were very pleased with the condo! It was super close to the beach and the kids loved the turtles! The only downfall for us was the pool. It was not close to the condo and always packed

My family had a wonderful stay. Owner was very responsive to questions.

The online rental process was simple & efficient. The owner communicated with us immediately. Upon arrival the house was spotless & beautifully decorated. Loved it!
