About the host
Hosted by Grace Stapleton
Jed and Grace Stapleton live in Chesterfield, Virginia with their three children. Jed works for a large life insurance company, and Grace is a therapist working for a private practice. Our three kids keep us very busy with their sports, activities and big personalities. Owning a beach house is a life-long dream come true for us, and we're happy to share our beautiful home with you! We hope you enjoy your stay!!!
Why they chose this property
After vacationing in Nags Head for years, we discovered the quaint Tri-Villages on Hatteras Island. We loved the laid back surfer town vibe, and the beaches are the most beautiful in the Outer Banks. The water stays warmer until October, sometimes longer due to the Tri-Villages being located at the very northern end of a southern gulf current. When you get to the beach path, you feel like you've found a secret entrance to paradise.
We loved our Realtor, Maryruth Reiss from Ocean Realty. She was so patient and wise. She showed us many homes, but this one was in the best shape. It just had a fun vibe. We're so happy we took a risk and bought The Blue Dolphin.

What makes this property unique
The wrap-around deck is very spacious and has a new custom table that can seat the whole family. Sitting in the hot tub at night sipping your cocktail, the stars appear brighter and closer than ever. The family room vaulted cathedral ceilings with stained wooden slats gives the home an old time beach feel. Hatteras Island is one of the only places in the world where you can see the sun rise on the beach and set on the sound.
You'll love all the improvements we've made over the years: a swing for kids and a swing for adults under the house; new tile floor in the kitchen and laundry room that looks like a beach boardwalk; new furniture and fixtures in the bunk room, bedroom upstairs and family room. Very few beach houses are this well maintained.
The proximity to the ocean is wonderful. Once you arrive at the private beach path, the walk across the dunes is amazing - the wildlife peeping out of the dunes is enjoyable for both kids and adults alike (many times we have seen deer munching on the greenery on the dunes). When arriving at the beach, you are met with an expanse of beach good for either beach volleyball, or simply digging a large sandcastle. The ocean temperatures are notably warmer than Nags Head.
Enjoy the comfortable Tri-Village area, with it's quaint shops and quiet atmosphere. Life here is much slower paced so be prepared to unwind. It's always hard to leave, and people frequently try to extend their stay.
