Dolphin Dreams

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

If you are looking for a vacation home that checks all the boxes, look no further. Dolphin Dreams, conveniently located near shopping and restaurants and an easy walk to the beach, will fill all your needs.

If you'd prefer to have fun on the water rather than in it, book a trip at the nearby fishing charter for a mellow day as you cast a line. The Avon Fishing Pier is also within walking distance for even easier fishing accessibility. Venture a bit farther in either direction to reach parks to explore.

When you come back you'll be greeted by your house's two carports, two outdoor showers (to wash off the beach sand), a basketball hoop, a Stair Tamer luggage lift, two bicycles, a jogging stroller, and a variety of beach toys. A fish cleaning station is also located under the carport if you opted to go on a fishing trip earlier in the day. The home includes its own pool if you want to have fun in the water without the hassle of leaving the house. Or take a soothing soak in your private six-person hot tub, then have a snack or a refreshing drink at the pool-side tropical bar with its own mini-kitchen.

Inside, the large great room has its own 60' TV with surround sound so you can watch your favorite shows with crisp visuals and sound. The living area sports beautiful ocean views and high ceilings, highlighting the spacious interior. Gather everyone in the game room and have some competitive matches on the pool table or choose to play one of a wide variety of games and puzzles while enjoying the mini-kitchen and private deck. When you get hungry, the well-equipped kitchen has its own breakfast bar and large refrigerator, as well as pantry storage if you decide to stock up on groceries. After indulging in a meal with one another, have some quiet conversations together or alone time at the elevated Crow's Nest. Try the work desk where the WiFi is kept in case you feel like catching up on remote work. As the evening winds down, take your pick of six bedrooms, many of which have ocean views, full baths, or both. On the third level, you'll find the primary bedroom with its own private bath and oceanview deck access. All bedrooms also have their own TVs so you can lounge comfortably while viewing. Best of all, this home includes an elevator and a ramp for step-free access, so no one will ever be left out.

Nice stay overall. Great location. Hiccups on checkin

The place was very well kept and well laid out. We loved it. The checkin process at 11:30 PM was clunky - the code didn't work. We resolved it over SMS in about 20 minutes but it was a cold 20 minutes in the howling wind.The round table by the pool table was sticky and not wiped down before we checked in - other than that the place was very clean and ready to go. Lovely house. Great location.Thanks.

Great house, not great management company

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the property. Everything was clean. The rooms were comfortable. The views from the balconies were amazing. We really appreciated all the beach equipment provided, and also the games and puzzles. Our complaint is with Vacasa. When we arrived at the property, the code we were given for the front door was incorrect. It took us speaking to Vacasa and them having to send someone out to finally get in. Our other complaint with Vacasa is that the internet did not work. My husband was trying to work, but wasn’t able to. It was also raining the first day we were there and all we wanted to do was watch a movie, but couldn’t. Again, the house was amazing, but our experience with Vacasa was not.

Great home for family vacation with a lot of amenities and centrally located to fun things to do. Heated pool, hot tub, elevator and dumb waiter were necessities to enjoying the view and access to the ocean/beach.

Everything We Could Have Hoped For

Wonderful floorplan in this house which allows for ocean views from nearly every room, and separate areas where one can find their own personal private time to read or reflect. Loved the house, and definitely would like to rent again!

One street back from beach and access was easy. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms were very tastefully decorated. The pool was probably one of the nicest ever!

Great vacation home!

This house was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much! Very clean and spacious. The elevator and luggage lift were so nice and made carrying groceries and belongings so much easier. Pool area was nice and the beach was just a short walk. You just have to be careful at the beach access as it was a little steep if you were carrying items. Grocery store and shops were close by. Overall the best house we have ever stayed in Avon. I would definitely recommend.

Fun in Avon

The location is very close to the beach and not too far from the pier if you prefer to fish from there. The basketball hoop got some use and the access to two bikes was great. The weather kept us from spending time outside, but the decks and outdoor lounge area are nice options, too.

Family gathering

Very clean and ready to go on time. Close to the beach. Views from the nest. Maintenance very responsive when called with issue resolved. Close to the Food Lion. Close to the Farmers Market on Tuesday. Close to the Avon Pier, for Thursday evening concert. Very relaxing. Separate pool room, defused noise. Very sparkling clean pool and hot tub, inviting. Thanks for providing a superior property for our families from MN, SC, PA to gather.

Other than some maintenance issues, a/c unit had to be serviced and a leaking toilet on the third floor our stay was uneventful. It was a nice surprise to have laundry detergent packets available, not sure if they were supplied or left by the previous renters. Also, a great supply of towels available which isn't always the case. One downfall is the a/c on the second level. It was quite stuffy especially the last bedroom on the left. I know you couldn't have a ceiling fan due to the bunk beds but I did not see a vent either so we went to the local Ace and purchased 2 box fans to keep the air circulating. The concrete and tile around the pool needs a little work. I would not have a problem recommending this property in the future.

Outer Banks Surf's Inn

the property was old and not well cleaned - we had called to find out about kitchen equipment and what they said they did not have was there - the entry time kept creeping back from the original time. They called to tell us that dryer was broken (It was not) but the grill was. Communication from rental agency Vacasa was poor and uncaring. They called to complain about how we did not allow someone to enter and my husband was on the deck - the truck they said was there was nowhere in sight. They would not let us in the house though it was cleaned and after the time we were supposed to enter when we signed for the house but wanted us to leave early so they could get in and clean. The flies were ridiculous! Close to beach - pool and hot tub were clean and fun. A lot of sand toys and 3 bikes in outdoor closet. Very close to grocery store. A lot of pots and pans and baking pans. plenty of dishes/silverware. The bins in entry way were tied - again no information that there were extra towels in them so we washed towels repeatedly. Enough bath towels, very few hand towels. Supposed to be starter shower soap, none there. The bed situation worked well for us and our kids had fun with pool table, puzzles and games.

Surf’s Inn

Over the past ten years, we stayed in this house multiple times and loved each moment. While not ocean front, it does have views of the ocean with easy access. If not enjoying the now replenished beach, lounge at the pool or hot tub. If raining or late, play pool on the upper floor. This house has it all!

Lovely, well appointed home

The house was well equipped and very clean. The open family area was perfect for hanging out together. The kitchen had a wide array of cooking necessities. The pool was another fun place to hang out! On a personal note, I thought the decor of the house was adorable and it had comfortable furniture too!

Surfs Inn is a winner

Clean and comfortable. This house is well kept up and nicely decorated. The kitchen is a bit small for a full house but is well stocked. The driveway is somewhat elevated so it stayed dry not under water during bad weather. Blinds all around keeps the morning sun from overheating the kitchen and living area. Overall a great place to stay.

Everything you could possibly need

This is a great house. Has everything you could need from the elevator and dumb waiter to help with unloading and loading all of your stuff to the outside kitchen area to grab drinks while in the pool. The views are great and just a short walk to the beach. They even supply a huge selection of activity item in the storage area from bikes to floats. We truly enjoyed our visit. When something broke, the property management responded immediately. We look forward to returning next year!

Awesome rental

Surfs Inn, met all of my families needs. The layout is perfect! 5 out of the 6 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with most having their own bathroom and outside deck. Private areas inside and out. The 2 spacious outside showers helped with many family members coming off the beach. The highlight for all my children and Grandchildren was the private pool. We all had a great fun filled week! Would definitely stay at SURFS INN again!
