So great to hear that your family had a great Thanksgiving at "Dolphin Destination". Being on a cul-de-sac and oceanfront is a perfect place to be anytime of the year. You can experience the marine life and birds and especially those great sun rises on the ocean. Please join us for many more vacations in the future.

Dolphin Destination

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week, thank you for letting us enjoy your home. The location near the beach was fantastic. Our kids lives running between the hot tub and the beach. Note for the owners: the master bath toilet needs replacing, the seat was yellow, interior was stained and it made the room smell like a urinal. Other than that, the place was clean and welcoming.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 February 2024
We are very happy you enjoyed your week at Dolphin Destination! It sounds like the kids were able to make some great memories at the beach! We appreciate your feedback about the toilet and will surely pass along this information to the Owner! We hope to see you again soon!

Climbing Dolphins

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a very good experience. We stayed at Dolphin Destination previously, about 15 years ago and was pleased to see the property continues to be updated and well-maintained. The only downside was the never-ending stairs. We remembered the stairs, but apparently forgot that we're oldeer now than last time and the stair climbing with luggage was difficult. We dreamed about an elevator.

A.C. on upper level broken

The property was clean, attractive. The AC in the top level where two of the bedrooms are was broken. They had installed three small window units which did not adequately cool the space. It was 87 degrees by the thermostat in the dining room. the second bedroom was even hotter. I called, was told they had no more units, and to call back the next day. someone came out the next day and installed another floor model ac in the bedroom with no ac. When the sun was out, the upstairs was so hot that we were confined to the small downstairs area. this was a long planned for family vacation with people coming fron NY and Texas as well as NC. It was very disappointing to have inadequate AC

Nice Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really liked the location as it was less crowded than other parts of the beach. Because one of our family members moved we did not have a dog but watching the other dogs play on the beach, we know she would have enjoyed it. Perhaps stagger the days or times to rent home as traffic was terrible on Sunday afternoon. Having never been to Corolla, we were unaware of the issues. Consider giving new renters this information. The house was in need of new furnishings, appliances, window coverings, carpeting, and a better way to enter house from the beach as there is no good place to put wet bathing suits or hooks to hang towels inside when done using outdoor shower. Outdoor shower needed to be cleaned. Some of the steps need to be replaced as nail heads were raised and a tripping hazard.

Thank you for your recent review of our property "Dolphin Destination", we hope to have you back with us again to Kitty Hawk Rentals. We manage homes from South Nags Head up to Corolla; next time we could find you something a little farther south to avoid the traffic traveling to the Northern Beaches. Next time you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks, don't forget to give us a call.

Love the location not the house

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd year renting this house. Upon arrival the only tub in the house had a faucet gushing water. Called in maintenance. The tub did not get fixed until Thursday- stay started on Sunday. As noted by another review in Oct.22 the shower curtain was very moldy and needed to be replaced. Still was not replaced at our visit. Lower level has a moldy smell. Several items in the house just need general maintenance- especially for charging premium prices. Fixtures are loose, outside hose is leaking with a rip in it. The lamp in one bedroom was broken, picture was sent to maintenance. Linens from the prior week were left outside all week and never picked up. It's a shame because this is a beautiful beach with great views. Very convenient to the grocery store and shops.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 February 2024
Terri, we are sorry to hear the property did not meet your standards. Just a reminder to please call in to report things such as the hose and shower curtain as those are things that can be handled abruptly during your stay. We are glad the lamp was fixed and eventually the tub faucet. It is unfortunate sometimes when an item needs a vendor to complete the task as it could take awhile in the Summer since they are all so busy. We hope you will give us another chance to make your next vacation great!

Quiet vacation rental in a beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we made great use of the space and enjoyed it. There were several issues that could be addressed for a more pleasant stay:-The couch downstairs needs replaced. It was so old and dirty looking that we did not even use that space. -There needs to be some window coverings on the two ocean side bedrooms downstairs. The sheers that are on there are nice during the daytime but offer no privacy which is a problem since the sliding door and windows are accessible from the decks outside. -When we arrived the house had a terrible smell which was exacerbated by the warmth of the house. We were able to air it out in a few hours with the exception of the smell inside the refrigerator, but it was not a good first impression. -Other minor issues included the grill and bottom deck need cleaned, shower curtain liner needs replaced, mirrors added to all of the bedrooms, stove eyes need fixed for pans to sit flat and cook evenly.

Pleasant surprise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is certainly nicer in person than in pics. Owners have managed to update the property without losing the beachhouse charm. Felt way more authentic than the average corolla mcmansion.Located at the end of a dead end far from any cross streets so a great place to walk a dog or for kids on bikes.Cleaning service missed a few things but they let us in early so call it a wash. Beach realty customer service was noticeably better than some other agencies we have used.

Wonderful Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family enjoyed our stay. The location and views are excellent. The house had everything we needed. I would however suggest that they leave a few cleaning items such as Windex and Lysol so we can keep the place sparkling. I was concerned with the stairs in the front of the house. It is a wooden spiral like staircase which was tricky and the railing was low and I was concerned someone could fall over it. Also the deck stairs in the back of the house going up to the top deck was shaky. We had a problem with midges for 3 of the nights we stayed there and could not use the decks or grill. There were thousands of them. The screen doors were covered. I don't think this problem was one that was exclusive to this house. I think everyone was having this problem. Once there was a thunderstorm and the winds changed the bugs left. Also there is no private walkway to the beach. There is a private walkway leading to the public access to the beach. Over all it was a great stay.

Kitchen has everything a chef can ask for. We are every meal at the house no need to go out. The carpets were a little worn would have preferred hardwood. No pool but did not need one with a baby in the house. Had high chair, gate, and packin play for the baby. Hot tub was used once. The beach was absolutely gorgeous. The family reunion of 75 people for the week included both Ocean Sands b and c developments so we were all close. Will definitely recommend the property

Returning next year

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2015 was our second visit and we've rebooked already for next season. Our family is very happy with Dolphin Destination. We travel with 6 adults and 1 large dog...there is plenty of space for all to spread out. The experience of oceanfront living room and deck is wonderful--we spend a lot of time on the beach, but it's also great just to hang around at the house to watch the water. This is a very quiet section of Ocean Sands, even more so than others, so fewer lights at night = good stargazing. See you next summer!

Fall get away to NC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was very good. Easy access to the beach. I would recommend this home to a couple with children, but not to several couples. Bedrooms other than the one master suite were more functional for children or young adults in the family, not additional couples. The downstairs was a little musty smelling. But maybe this is true for all rentals on the beach.
