Dolphin Delight is a astounding 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 magnificent 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 enormous 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 exceptional 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 phenomenal 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.

Strategies for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Hatteras vacation home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Hatteras rental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Dolphin Delight has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents 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 crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
