Peaceful Oceanfront Stay

We had a great stay at Dolphin Watch East. The highlight was definitely the view — you’re just steps from the beach, and the decks give you a perfect place to relax and take it all in. We caught a few dolphin sightings in the morning and really enjoyed watching the sun rise over the ocean each day. Having direct beach access made it easy to come and go throughout the day. Beach location wasn’t over crowded, but the property was still close to needed amenities like restaurants, and stores. The house itself is clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. Everything felt solid and well-maintained, and the kitchen had what we needed for cooking meals. The layout worked well for our group, and it was clear the owners put effort into keeping the space guest-ready. A nice bonus was the renter’s closet, which had some beach chairs, boogie boards, and other beach gear available for us to use. That made things easier, especially since we didn’t have to pack all that ourselves. All in all, this is a great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back, oceanfront rental with everything you need for a relaxing beach trip. We’d definitely come back.

We loved the easy access to the beach that didn’t have steep stairs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Watch East. We enjoyed being ocean front and watching all the dolphins swim by on a daily basis. The home itself was very clean. Sometimes with rental properties the pictures you seen online are very different from what you encounter when you arrive. That certainly wasn't the case with this property. It lived up to the pictures! The outdoor space was wonderful too. Our boys enjoyed playing outdoors and sitting on the different decks to take in the beautiful views. We will most certainly be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Erin W - Posted: 3/1/2021

This was the second time we stay in this house and we've loved every bit of it. Plenty of appliances and supplies in the kitchen and we love the reverse floor plan. Plenty of deck seating and thankful for the addition of the umbrella holders. Other than the beds being a little uncomfortable and the sliding screen doors difficult to open and shut, this house is great!
Rebecca M - Posted: 9/1/2020

I loved the view. Sitting on the deck watching and listening to the waves. Only a few minutes walk and we were on the beach, which was clean and not crowded. Plenty of room for myself and my son's family of 7, which included 5 boys.

I can't say enough how we enjoyed ourselves!!! Thanks again for a great vacation!!! We will be back
Diane N - Posted: 9/1/2019

The location to the beach is fantastic.
Steve L - Posted: 7/1/2018

The view!! And I have to say that we had an awesome time!! We were a group of ladies who graduated together in Havelock (now in our 60's), and we get together twice a year to catch up with each other. All of us said what a great time we had and would love to do it again. We made a lot of memories there, laughing and talking, laying out on the beach. Thank you for an awesome time!!!
Lisa C - Posted: 5/1/2018

Our family of nine really enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Watch East over the New Year weekend. Despite it being cold outside, we enjoyed watching movies from the DVD library collection and playing games from the game closet at the kitchen table. We had plenty of parking, bedrooms, full baths and seating to accommodate our family. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room, while our adult children were glad to have their own space. The kitchen layout worked well and was well equipped. The house was clean and nicely decorated- it looked like it was recently updated and painted. The ocean view was beautiful and we especially enjoyed watching dolphins from the main deck.

We will definitely come back here for our next family retreat.
Kim T - Posted: 1/1/2018

Very well equipped with kitchen supplies wouldn't need to take anything extra. Loved the Lennon service had a very good supply.view was amazing would love to have had a picnic table outside. Loved having access to a grill. We love spending all the time possible outside. Really enjoyed our vacation
Jennifer W - Posted: 6/1/2014

We really enjoyed the location of this rental; nice decks and views. The rental could really use an updated TV in living area. Having cleaner available to clean stove top would be nice as it was oily and needed to be cleaned when we arrived. We will definitely consider renting this unit again.Enjoyed our stay in Emerald Isle as always and look forward to next year's trip.
