Very cozy and private. Owners are very respectful of your privacy. The pool is a little dated, but overall, a nice place to stay.

Excellent little property nestled back in a nice residential neighborhood that’s quiet and safe. It was private, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Updated modern appliances allowed me to cook a couple meals. Reasonably close to Downtown Historic Beaufort. Not biking distance but a quick drive. Straight shot into Morehead City, easy drive as well. I will be back. It was perfect for me or for two people.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Dolphin while we were in town for our son's baseball tournament. It was the perfect place to come back to after long days at the ballfield. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, the pool was a great place to relax, and the location was ideal, close to restaurants, shopping, and plenty of things to explore. It gave us the opportunity to enjoy the area without spending every minute in the heat at the baseball fields.The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free from beginning to end. The home was exactly what we were looking for, and we truly felt at home during our stay.We would absolutely recommend the Blue Dolphin to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing place to stay and are already looking forward to coming back again soon!

Great little place for two

We absolutely loved this little place. It was just the perfect place to relax and unwind. The pool was my favorite part! We had privacy and wonderful hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed. They even went out and boughta grill before we got there because I had inquired as to if they had one!

Pool House

We were taken aback that the place was in host back yard but place was very nice and the host made their self scarce so it was just fine! Bring your bath soap as they didn’t have any.

Great little getaway

We were not aware of the property being a converted guest house on the owners property and that the pool was in their back yard along with the guest house but it did have its own entrance so there’s no face to face with property owner. Other then that it was a nice time to get away for a night. The owner was very respectful. We didn’t have any issues whatsoever with the stay. Great place to hang out for a night.
