Perfect beach location!

This house was so calming to be in, and had everything we needed to feel at home away from home. The check-in and check-out process couldn't have been easier with the keyless entry. We knew the house was oceanfront, but didn't realize how close to the beach and ocean it actually was. Pictures don't do it justice!

Relaxing and comfortable

We had a wonderful stay at the house. It was very clean and the furniture was comfortable. We had everything we needed to prepare and serve our Thanksgiving dinner. We were able to walk right out the door to run the local Turkey Trot (super convenient). Loved walking up to the ocean view every morning and strolling the beach as the sun rose. It was the perfect chance to get away from the day -to-day chaos and just relax and enjoy time with family.

Shore Details was very professional and super friendly! We had a great experience for our first rental from SD. My only wish is a text or call if the house is ready early, which is was to our delight 😊 Thank you!

Wonderful place to be with family

Such a wonderful house on the beach with a fun pool and hot tub that was serviced twice a week. The kitchen was stocked with nice dinnerware, utensils cookware and the two refrigerators side by side was an added bonus for 7 adults and child. The decor was just the right amount. We have already made reservations for 2023.

50th Anniversary Family Vacation

This was a perfect house for our family. With the two levels and four bedrooms, everyone had space to have privacy and the gathering areas were spacious. The decks provided wonderful views of the Atlantic. The private pool was an added bonus. We had a fabulous time away from the hustle and bustle.

Some notes on Dolphin's Reach

We are longstanding renters at Dolphin's Reach and the property is exactly what my family wants in a Hatteras beach rental. We are entirely satisfied with Shore Details' management of the property. Some things that we noticed for the first time this trip though included some obvious mold in the kitchen ceiling over the sink and in the upstairs bathroom. This really needs to be addressed soon. Also the pool seemed to have a very low water level upon our arrival; we added some so that there was constant water flow into the filter intake. Finally, the basket in the dishwasher for silverware has holes in the bottom of several of the compartments, and the silverware keeps falling down through the bottom of the basket. It needs to be replaced. Otherwise everything was great and we are looking forward to our next visit in 2023, already booked.

Aug 7-14, 2022 Stay

Walking up the front door, the first thing we notice is the very rusted door lock. I get sand makes the rust quick, but this was our FIRST impression of the house. As previously mentioned in a review, the dishwasher does not “wash” very well, if any at all. The upstairs lock for the balcony/deck is also broken. The path to the beach could definitely use some trimming! (Especially for children to be walking through) A lot of the windows also have damaged screens. However, that is not what stands out the most and which could potentially cause some health issues to guests/us. There is quite a bit of water damage throughout the house, the “game room” being the most severe smelling like mold/mildew. So strong, that we didn't get to use this room one time during our stay. We noticed black mold/mildew throughout the floors in the home. (Bathroom, kitchen, dining room space.) The kitchen sink leaked as well as the sink in the master bedroom. The outside receptacles did not work outside, and a lot of the receptacles in the inside were loose. We really LOVED the location of the house and would consider staying at this location again if we were 110% certain these issues were resolved.

Dolphins Reach

The location, access to the beach and amenities would earn Dolphins Reach 5 stars. But the condition of some of the aging furniture, especially the dining room table and chairs diminishes its overall appeal. Its close proximity to the beach keeps us coming back. Both young and not-so-young will be returning same time next year!

Beautiful location, clean and comfortable

We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, the beds slept great, and the pool with different levels of seating was great for all ages. We used the charcoal grill multiple times, and having 2 refrigerators was very convenient. Our only complaints were the dishwasher doesn't wash very well and the silverware basket needs to be replaced. Also, there is a sulfur smell to the water and ice, but we just bought ice down the road… so that wasn't a big problem. There was a leak in the pipes in the downstairs bedroom ceiling, and the maintenance people were very nice and prompt. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hated to leave. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Dolphin's Reach was amazing. Being able to walk right outside the house to the beach was so convenient and seeing Hatteras Light in the evenings was special. The hot tub and game room were a plus. One of my favorite memories will be eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the ocean. Highly recommend this location.

Our stay at Dolphins Reach was fantastic!

The view of the beach can't be beat-morning sunrises are gorgeous. You can “roll” out of bed in the morning and be on the beach in seconds…(private path/ walkway to the beach)- This was such a bonus to me, as a photographer, for those early morning photos. Having coffee and breakfast on the deck, overlooking the ocean, was like no other place we've stayed on Hatteras- the view is truly incredible and sweepingly wide. We saw dolphins every single day, all day long, swimming back and forth, and were lucky enough to see them jump completely out of the water several times… it was like being at Sea World, but 100 times better! The hot tub is positioned well, and is perfect for seeing the hundreds upon hundreds of stars visible in the OBX sky at night. The house itself is roomy and set up well for group gatherings and for privacy. The kitchen is well stocked with NICE pots and pans… what a pleasure it was to cook!! Our 2 1/2 week stay went by in a flash- it was an absolute joy to stay at Dolphins Reach. We look forward to returning.

Everything about the rental of this property was professional and we have nothing bad to say about it, even if I had to come up with something I couldn't. It was as pictured and as advertised. I plan on staying here again and again.

Best Vacation Ever

This house suited our family perfectly. My husband and I, brother and sister in law , and our adult son and wife. Everyone had their own bedrooms and bathrooms. The open concept allowed gathering for drinks, cooking, movie watching and game playing. Most of all we loved the location. A few steps over the dunes and we were on the beach. We will definitely be back.

First time visiting Outer banks, the house was perfect

We had a great time during our first trip to the Outer Banks. The house was very easy to find and has plenty of parking. The beach is very clean and is actually closer to the house than it appears to be in the photos. The house was clean and comfortable with lots of separated space to spread out while with a group. Would definitely go back again.

Perfect Location

This house is very clean, and has been well-cared for. It is perfectly located: at the edge of Hatteras village, right over the dune from the beach, and right off of scenic 12. The driveway is cement and there is decking all around, with an extra shower off the carport (no dragging sand into the house). The house is tastefully furnished and the views are unforgettable. Check-in and check-out was contact-free, and we had zero issues. We loved our stay here!!!

Quiet Escape

Overall, We enjoyed our stay! The location is VERY quiet February which is exactly what we wanted. We had been living in our own Covid pod for a year and needed different walls. We did some walking tours on the trails in the area and plenty of walking on the beach. For anyone looking at doing the same, the wifi is strong! We were able to run 3 online classrooms and 2 adults working simultaneously without issue! Communication and help from the property management was outstanding. The property is nice, with wonderful views. We are a "cooking" family, the kitchen accessories need help, they are "well used" many plates and cups chipped and pots/pans need replaced.

Amazing break in the midst of the pandemic

In the midst of much loss and the challenges presented by the pandemic, staying at this property offered a chance for emotional healing and easy social distancing. The location is walkable to the local Red & White grocery market, which is well stocked. The ability either to walk out the door onto the beach or to step out on the deck to watch a range of migrating birds and wave riding dolphins is spectacular. Don't go expecting lots of restaurant options after early December, but that's okay with a beautifully appointed kitchen and an ocean view! Be aware that the ground level room is not connected to the upstairs, and the roof top deck, while featured in the photos, is not open to guests. The living room and bedroom furniture for the ocean view rooms has been upgraded from the ones shown in the photos and are quite comfortable! We would definitely return to this property in the future if the opportunity arises!
