Dolphin Delight is a magnificant family friendly Semi-Oceanfront 5 Bedroom 4.5 Bath home with Private Pool and Spa. It is located only steps from a great beach and in the heart of Avon. Appreciate ocean vistas from either of the two decks facing the ocean and watch over the pool and volleyball court from the two decks facing the sound side of the island.
Your family will not want to leave this excellent second lot back home in Avon. Dolphin Delight will provide the ideal location to get away from it all. Covered parking under the home and a convenient dry entry that opens to the first level will make move-in a breeze.
The four bedrooms on the first level make for a calming getaway. Each bedroom on this level has a 32” flat-screen TV with a DVD player. Two queen master suites on this level offer direct access to a covered deck overlooking the pool and volleyball court. The third queen bedroom has a door into a semi-private bathroom. The fourth bedroom has a bunk set and a single bed with a trundle. These two bedrooms have direct access to a covered deck with ocean vistas. The laundry is also on this level.
On the top level, vaulted ceilings and huge windows provide ample natural light and offer ocean vistas. Watch a movie on the 55” flat-screen TV with an Internet-capable Blu-Ray DVD player in the living room. The sunny kitchen with breakfast bar is adjacent to the dining area, which has simple access to the cavernous ocean-facing sundeck. The sun/game room includes a three-in-one bumper-pool table that can be used as a dining table, poker table or bumper pool table. From here there is also direct access out to the top deck overlooking the pool area, where there is a seating group under a covered portion and a picnic table for an outdoor eating option. Off the living area is a warm and inviting master bedroom with a king-size bed, 32" TV, and a DVD player. This master also has direct access to the rear sundeck facing west. A half bathroom providing common access completes this level.
The private pool and hot tub are located on the sound-side of the home, with ample deck space and lounges for catching the sun rays or watching the kids play. Grille your meals on either the gas grille located on the pool deck or at the charcoal grille in front of the home. Dolphin Delight’s fantastic location provides painless access to fashionable shopping, eateries, water sports rental stores, and fishing/bait and tackle, as well as favorite ice cream stores.
There is convenient beach access one home south or two homes north of Dolphin Delight where you will find a incredible sandy beach and an outdoor shower will be waiting to freshen you up for the next round of fun. Store your gear in the under-home lockable storage room. Clean your catch of the day at the fish cleaning table while your kids play basketball out front or volleyball out back.
Prepare for good times during day and nighttime at Dolphin Delight.

Finding the best vacation property experience:
Getting the best rental value:
- Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, change your family's Hatteras vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
- Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
- Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
- Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Avon:
- Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Dolphin Delight has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
- Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
- Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
- If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
Considerations for your stay:
- Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
- Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
- Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
- Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
- Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
- Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
