The home was comforting. The views were amazing. The island has a lot of history Our trip was during Hurricane Lee so waves were so loud and memorizing but for me the best part was the shooting stars at night.

All the pots and pans were very dirty. All the mattresses were poor. All the boogie boards were broken, so didn't have boards to use, and cabinet contents not as pictured. The views and the beach were incredible. The pinball machine was fun!

Wonderful trip, we love Topsail and this was a lovely home in a nice location. We really enjoyed our stay.

Dolphin Tales was a great vacation house! It is right on the beach and had everything we needed. Loved the decor!

The house and location are amazing. The property was easy to find, clean, well maintained and cared for, and generally well equipped. Everything was in good working condition except beach umbrellas and some beach toys, all of which we considered extras provided at the owner's expense and not integral to the property listing

The property was big enough for our family of 5 and was a great location. The property needs some TLC through out.

Beth was a wonderful host and worked with us to ensure we could book quickly. Nice place with all the amenities. Our pup enjoyed her first time at the beach. Our stay with our kids was such a great time with memories made. Thanks again!

Great house!! Very clean!

The house was very much what the pictures show, and it was clean. Clearly well maintained property. Enjoyed our stay and definitely would stay there again.

We had a wonderful time and all because of Beth and her husband being wonderful hosts! They made our trip so easy and fun. The house was wonderful, clean, and had the best view.

First time to Topsail and was not disappointed! This home was lovely and Beth super responsive to all my questions. Amazing ocean view and dancing dolphins every day! Loved the delivery of fresh sheets and towels for the week as I knew my linens were fresh and clean! Super relaxing week! Next time we will rent kayaks from the Beach Bar directly across the street to take in the beauty of the intercoastal. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Very nice half house. Up stairs, downstairs. 3 bathrooms is SO HELPFUL. Being able to bring our pet was everything to us! 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids. We happily enjoyed our stay and noone wanted to leave!

My husband and I rented this property over thanksgiving so I could concentrate on finishing my school semester. I would take breaks and go down to the beach to clear my head before hitting the books and papers again. We really enjoyed this place and have no regrets. Just FYI for future residents.. You will have to make your own bed when you get there. I wish I would have known this prior so we could have made the bed before I was totally physically and mentally tired. We found the bedding was in bins at the bottom of the stairs to come into the townhome. Other than that this place was perfect and I will rent from them again!!

This was our second stay at Dolphin Tales this year!! The home is beautifully kept and well-stocked. We love the quiet location and it’s only minutes from anything you need. We even saw a pod of dolphins and a whale from the deck! We had the pleasure of meeting Beth, the owner, this time and she was wonderful! We look forward to our future stays at this property!!

Beth was great with communicating with us. House was just beautiful. Great location. Looking forward to coming back. Great experience

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Dolphin Tales! The place was clean, the kitchen appliances were new, the kitchen was fully stocked w/ utensils, K-cup coffee maker, and air fryer, the place had tons of room, and it had a great view. The beach was not crowded at all. We really enjoyed sipping wine on the master bedroom balcony overlooking the ocean. The location of this condo was ideal because its just a few minutes drive to Food Lion and a few restaurants. We love the fact that we didn't have to find accommodations for our beloved dog. We would definitely rent this condo again!

We would absolutely stay here again. We had lots of room and the kitchen was well stocked. The location and views were wonderful. This house deserves 5 stars.

The property took care of all the needs of our 3 generation family trip. The house was clean and well provisioned. The manager was always very responsive. Most importantly, the beach was fabulous

Enjoyed our stay at the Dolphin Tail. We would definitely stay there again.

Very nice place right on the beach! Pet friendly and very clean. Everyone loved the location and layout of this place. Definitely would rent again.

Loved being able to step out and be on the beach and sand just a few feet from the house. Great location, felt like we had our own almost private beach.

We had an amazing week this is beautiful home fantastic location literally 40 feet to the sand. Well laid out floor plan very clean we would stay again

This half of the duplex was perfect for our family group. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the porch, which had an area of shade as well as an area of sun, and gates that could be latched to keep our dog inside.

Smooth process. Quick response to questions. Everyone enjoyed arcade games.

We absolutely loved our stay!! The house was perfect and had everything we needed. The location was quiet and peaceful, but centrally located to shops and food. The views from the decks were superb. And with two young children the ease to the beach was the best! The video game console was an added bonus! My family is already planning our next stay!!

Second time at this lovely townhome right on the beach. Wish the weather hadn’t been so cold but not much could be done about that! Otherwise the trip was lovely and we look forward to next time.

The home is perfectly placed to watch beautiful ocean sunrises and evening walks on the beach. Host was extremely accommodating and had excellent communication response time. Hope to visit again!

We found this property to be just as advertised. Recently updated home (new flooring, countertops, faucets, appliances). Kitchen was really well stocked. Owner (Beth) was incredibly responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay even if the weather was cooler than we'd hoped. The view was spectacular! Right on the beach.

Very clean and nice. We loved the beach right in front of our rental. Excellent communication by owner. Would recommend.

Absolutely perfect condo! Everything we could possibly need and great location for our stay. Great beach access! The owners were super accommodating and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again!

Clean, relaxing space, well stocked kitchen, good wifi, easy access, no issues.

Had a wonderful, relaxing week at Dolphin Tales. Saw dolphins almost every day of our week-long stay. There was ample room for the six of us and being just steps from the beach was fabulous! Took the dog on several walks a day which she was thrilled about. The only negatives were some of the pots/pans in the cupboards were not the cleanest and the sliding doors did not slide very well which made it hard to open/close them (assuming it has something to do with the sea moisture). This is not uncommon in the 1-2 rentals that we stay in a year, however. I was also surprised there was no cheese grater or a whisk that would have made making the pancakes a little easier. There was plenty of silverware, plates, bowls and glasses/mugs which was appreciated. The dishwasher was also much nicer than mine at home :) Overall, a 5 star stay with just a couple inconveniences.
