Excellent!! What a beautiful home and piece of property within short walking distance to everything in Solvang’s adorable town. The kitchen was so well stocked with serving platters, baking and cooking items. A definite must stay if you are looking for a spacious, charming home with your own courtyard retreat. Thank you for sharing your gem of a place.

This home is so lovely! Plenty of space to spread out, comfortable beds and bedding, well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful and peaceful yard with several seating areas. Our group enjoyed the fact that there were multiple king beds - always a plus when you have multiple couples. One little thing that was really nice that you don’t often find in rentals is that they have plenty of throw blankets. We enjoyed the fire pit and bocce ball outside, too. Location was perfect - close to everything (walkable) but on a quieter street. We would definitely stay again.

Outstanding property! Our whole family fell in love with it! The whole estate was fastidiously neat and clean, beautifully decorated and landscaped, superbly comfortable, and supplied with everything we needed for a fabulous weekend stay to celebrate our granddaughter's graduation from UCSB! We are immensely grateful to our host Carol for allowing us to enjoy her beautiful property!

Beautiful, conveniently-located home

Our multi-generational family group had a wonderful stay here. The home and gardens are pristine and gorgeous. There was so much space for everyone to spread out. Attention to detail is obvious. The owner was clear and responsive in her communication. We loved the location because it allowed us to walk into Solvang village easily (and quickly return with our pastry stash, haha!). I would definitely recommend this lovely home!

Great place for a big family

The front entrance doesn’t show how beautiful and big inside at all. But once you open the front door, you definitely say “Wow !” It’s nice place for the family or friends gatherings. 👍 We had a wonderful stay there for our daughter’s wedding at the Hill top ranch. The town Solvang is also very charming.

Highly recommend the Dolphin House

Dolphin House is well-located in center of Solvang so we could walk to most activities. The house is well-equipped and features a beautifully designed and meticulously maintained garden with reading lounges, 2 outdoor dining areas, bocce court, and an outdoor living room with fire pit. The owner is welcoming and super helpful!

We absolutely loved the house, inside and out. We didn’t even know how wonderful it was and how great the location until we got there. Carol, the host was super helpful. We spent a lot of time around the fireplace or the outdoor fire pit. Everything was perfect!!!Now we need another excuse to go to Solvang so we can rent the house again.

First Visit to Solvang

The town is quaint and fun. This property is spacious and stunning — and steps away from a wide range of dining and shopping. Beautiful interior gardens and plenty of amenities made for a truly comfortable and memorable family gathering. Owners could not have been nicer.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
We are owners and operators of Ingeborgs Danish Chocolate Factory and have either grown up here in Solvang or lived here for over 30 years. We've always loved hosting people here in the village to get away from the busy lifestyles our friends and family normally face daily. Please come here to take a breath and be our guests at the "Delfin Huset" The Dolphin House. Velkommen til Solvang.

Why they chose this property

This large piece of property is not only perfectly landscaped, but quietly set near the center of the village and ideally ready for that big family or close friends whom need some "Me" time.

What makes this property unique

The Dolphin House is large enough to either BBQ together outside, partake in Boccie, or huddle in a corner area and have some privacy.
