About this property

@ Ocean Front Guest Friendly Home "An Emerald On The Beach"

The Grey Dolphin is a very cozy but spacious house. In there you can organize your family reunion or staying in a peaceful house, enjoying the beach and nature that Sunset Beach and around offer.

This house counts with comfortable rooms that sleep 14 people,

It has four (4) bedrooms upstairs with Jack and Jill bathroom.

Room 1: King bed

Room 2: Twin & Queen.

Room 3: Queen.

Room 4: Twin & Queen.

Living Area: A half bathroom.

GROUND FLOOR

With a private downstairs entrance, is Room 5: Bedroom with a queen and a pair of bunk beds. It has a dedicated full Bath ( this room doesn´t have access to the Living area)

This house is very close to the town, where you can rent kayaks and bikes and walk to the boardwalk and see the sun drowning in the water.

You can check the few shops that are in town, there you can buy souvenirs and ice cream.

Everyone asks us how close the beach from the house is, well is as closest as it can be, the boardwalk that brings you to the beach is next to our house 😉.

As you can see in our amenities, we provide a long list of things to love your time inside and outside the house, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and beach toys. You are welcome to use them.

Remember this is a family house so please take care of the stuff. We try to update our house supplies and furniture very often to offer you always the best of the best.

Unfortunately, for the pet lovers, we do not accept them, not because we don’t love them, but to keep the house clean for the next guests. Also, we are smoke-free.

At the end and before every staying, a professional cleaner comes to clean and disinfect the whole house and stocking the house for the next guests.

Even though we, the owners, are not in Sunset Beach, we are one call, text, or email away for any assistant you need and if you need assistance, we have local people ready to help.

Great location
We spent a great week at the Grey Dolphin. The proximity to the beach is great. The kitchen is well stocked. We prepared several dinners and it had everything I needed. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Any inquiry I had was quickly answered. We loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off after a hot, sandy day at the beach.

Great beachfront location
We have been regular guests at this house. It has a great beachfront location and lots of stuff on hand so we don't need to pack as much.

Amazing stay!
This house was perfect for our 2-family vacation. Everything was spotless on check-in, and the appliances all seemed new. I texted the owner a couple of times with minor questions, and the response time was almost immediate. The location is perfect, right on the beach access and a very short walk to the shops and the pier. We especially enjoyed Sunset Slush for the best Italian Ice I've ever had, and the Island Market has great T-shirts, basic grocery items, and super-friendly people working there. We even met Chikka, the owner's adorable rescue dog. The house is extremely-well-equipped for vacationers. Beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and cart are provided, making the walk down to the beach a lot easier. There's a place to rinse your feet when you come up from the beach, and there's also a fully-enclosed outdoor shower with excellent water pressure. The screened porch was amazing, and we watched a beautiful thunderstorm from it one night. The attention to detail inside the house was also wonderful, with boxes of Kleenex in every room, a nightlight in each bathroom, and a fully stocked first aid kit in the living room. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, including brand-new oven mitts and salt and pepper. I really liked the way laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were all provided. This is definitely one of the best houses I've ever rented, and I highly recommend it!

Sunset Beach Get A Way
Overall it was as very good experience. The property is as listed. GREAT location on the beach. The house is immediately adjacent to the beach path so you are as close as you can be to the water - less than a one minute walk. There is a convince store, coffee bar and ice cream store that are a two minute walk from the property. All of the amenities on the property were as advertised and worked as promised. Our party did find some of the signage in the house off-putting. Many items are tagged with the cost if lost or damaged - Beach Chair, $60 if missing, SpikeBall, $40 if missing. We understand that missing or damaged items will need to be replaced by the renters but it does smack of a college spring break house rather than the family vacation that we took.

Wonderful location and perfect house for a family
We loved our time at this house! It was a perfect layout for a family, including a separate entrance for the downstairs bedroom that gave that person more privacy. The beach was just a short walk and the house is also close to entrance road to the bridge, where there was an ice cream shop, perfect for the kids. The hosts were great at communicating and very responsive to questions. We’ll definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by David Dal Pra

Host profile image
My wife, Franca & I were both born in Italy. We were extremely fortunate to have met in New York.

I am a retired man whose mind is always thinking about ideas to do. My wife sometimes thinks there are not that good, but she agrees that buying these properties in Sunset Beach and rent them definitely was a GREAT IDEA.

We love coming with our family and spend time together. Also, I love to keep maintaining the house upgraded, talking with our guests, that some have come for so many years already, we have become friends.

Did I mention I am awesome at making sand balls? haha, that is the other thing I am loving about coming to this place. I can share my talent with the kids and grown ups at the beach.

I GIVE MY GUESTS SPACE, BUT I AM AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED
I am not on the beach, but I am just a phone call away by cell, text, or email. We love to interact with our guests. We are committed to making your stay as perfect as possible. When needed I have personal assistance available on site.

MY MOTTO:

"DO WHAT'S RIGHT". This way I have nothing to regret


Why they chose this property

Let me tell you, I fell in love with it as soon as I walked in the first time. We own another house in the area, and one day walking I saw that this house was for purchase and I decide to go inside and look.

Immediately I walked in I thought of my extended family that cannot fit in the other house during our stay here, so I decided to purchased it to have more space for my family reunion and to share it with you!

It is cozy and charming, and its deck is so bright and it has a division for the ones who want to tan without going to the beach, it is perfect to dry the beach towels and bathing suits.

It has a big outside shower with hot water, for the ones who want to clean themselves feeling the warm weather. If you have kids, this is the perfect and most fun shower. Kids in my family run from the beach to clean themselves, change down there too, grab some snack before dinner is ready and keep playing, riding their bikes, scooters, or playing ball.

It is very close to the town and the boardwalk, but it is not that close to being bothered by people in town.
