The house is amazing: gorgeous, large, and very well appointed. There is an additional casita with full kitchen, bedroom, 2 bathrooms. All rooms were very clean, well decorated, and every amenity we could ask for. The host was very welcoming and communicative, and made everything easy. The house even had beautiful Christmas decorations with a tree for us.

Starting with our introduction to the Dolphin House by Carol everything was a dream. The Dolphin House is even nicer in person than in the pictures. The courtyard has a tranquil bubbling fountain, an outside dining area with a spotless grill and a covered area with a cozy gas fire pit. The location was fantastic - close and walkable to everything in Solvang. I would recommend the Dolphin House to anyone- especially family reunions, friends trip etc… it was perfect!

My family and I stayed here for a combined vacation and extended family vacation! This property exceeded all expectations and was perfect for our group of 8 adults! Carol met us when we checked in to ensure we were comfortable with everything and was great with the reservation process! It is walking distance to town and such an oasis!

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.

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.
