The space
Lots of little repairs and touches for the 2024 season!!! 2024: New Roof. New window framing. New floors!!! 2023: Upstairs bathroom has been completely remodeled, including new tub and surround. 2022: New Hot tub (!!!!) 2021: A new ramp below the steps for when it rains hard. New under-carriage, new siding on the home and new tile in the downstairs bathroom (and much, much more!).

There's so much space in this three-bedroom cottage due to the large family room with vaulted ceiling. Enjoy sunset dinners on the deck with built in dining table, playing corn hole, then soaking in the hot tub under the stars. "The Blue Dolphin" features games, books, movies, toys for the kids, boogie boards, beach chairs, highchair and port a crib. Under the house you'll find a large, paved driveway (enough to park a boat!!), swings, charcoal grill, outdoor shower and fish cleaning station. The house is 6 lots back from the ocean front road!

This house is perfect for one family, a family plus the grandparents, or two small families vacationing together. The expansive family room makes the home comfortable, even with 8 guests. The huge deck is perfect for the evening breezes, drinks with friends, or a challenging game of cornhole. Enjoy the sunrises in the morning on the Adirondack chairs!
Guest access
Full access to the property including access to the hot tub, outdoor shower, grill, fish cleaning station, and wrap-around deck.

Note: Please do not attempt to access the Owner's closet in the downstairs Queen bedroom. This contains our personal belongings for use when we are at the home. Thank you for being respectful of this closet!!
Additional notes
VERY IMPORTANT: bring your cell phone and charger because there is no home phone at the residence. If you happen to forget your cell phone charger, Dollar General carries most models (the store is about 1 mile North of the house).

ALSO.... NO TOWELS ARE PROVIDED. You will need to bring your own BEACH and BATH TOWELS. They are also available to rent locally, if you would prefer to do that. Please make sure to walk the trashcan up to the curb prior to your departure. This is so that the next guests first impression of the home is not the smell of trash while entering the residence!!

If you prefer to rent towels during you stay, our property management company, Shore Details, provides that service and will drop them off for you prior to your arrival. Please contact them at ((PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) if you are interested in any of their concierge services...
Guest interaction
You can reach us over cell phones through voice calls or texts during your stay.
Neighborhood overview
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood on lovely Hatteras Island. Enjoy the comfortable Tri-Village area, with it's quaint shops and nearby restaurants and quiet atmosphere. Life here is much slower paced so be prepared to unwind. The home has many of the amenities of modern living yet the pace of life on Hatteras Island is friendly but notably slower.

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 and the northern sections of the Outer Banks.
Getting around
A car is necessary on the island. There is a ferry to Ocracoke Island to the south. Closest airport is Norfolk, which is a 2 hour drive north of the home.

Pay very close attention to the speed limits when on the island and in the surrounding vicinity. The North Carolina police are VERY stringent and will give out tickets to "out of towners" caught speeding or not obeying the local traffic laws. Please be especially careful of walkers and bike riders on the island.
