Look no further, “Dolphin Patch” has all you need to make your 4x4 OBX vacation unforgettable! There’s a reason this home has many repeat renters who return year after year. Perched high above the dunes, this oceanfront home features panoramic ocean and sunset views. “Dolphin Patch” is located on one of the most expansive areas of the 4x4 beach, so there is plenty of beach to enjoy, even at high tide. Well-appointed bedrooms, multiple family gathering spaces and a long list of amenities ensure that “Dolphin Patch” has something for everyone to make your next vacation special.

The top floor features an open floor plan with the kitchen, living room, and dining room, providing space for everyone to gather and enjoy spectacular ocean views through every window. Deer and the Corolla wild horses visit the property often. Sea birds soar by and dolphins can often be spotted playing in the ocean. Step out onto the deck and relax in the captain's chairs to feel the ocean breeze and see and hear the waves break on the beach.

The well-stocked, spacious kitchen is a cook’s dream. Two full-size refrigerator/freezers and a large pantry in the kitchen allow you to bring everything you need for your stay. The elevator makes unloading luggage and groceries a breeze. The wine and beverage coolers provide additional space to keep your drinks cold. The kitchen’s double oven lets you easily cook for a large group. Double dishwashers and double sinks make fast work of meal-time clean up. The wet bar area just might make mixing up favorite cocktails while watching the sunset a favorite evening ritual. Mornings might include having coffee around the granite table in the covered, screened-in porch.

“Dolphin Patch” has many additional spaces to gather. The den provides a relaxing space and access to the middle floor deck with more ocean views. The deck wraps around to the large hot tub, tucked away under the top floor’s covered porch, so you can soak and soothe even on rainy days. A separate west-facing porch with rocking chairs is a favorite spot to enjoy sunsets.

The lower level rec room features a full-size Brunswick premium slate billiards table. Another wet bar and the third refrigerator round out this space. Pop popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy a favorite movie in the theater room complete with leather reclining theater chairs. Step out and enjoy swimming in the private pool at “Dolphin Patch,” with its spacious concrete deck and plenty of lounge chairs. Two private outdoor showers are just off the pool area. Enjoy the home’s private lighted walkway over the barrier dune to walk directly to and from the beach.

Not that you’ll ever need to leave during your stay, but “Dolphin Patch” is located approximately 9.2 miles up the beach within reach of local shopping and dining. Make treasured Outer Banks vacation memories at “Dolphin Patch!”

Andrea   ·  Stayed August 2024

"You could not want for anything more in this home-it has a well stocked kitchen with multiple fridges and tons of cookware and other kitchen essentials. The hot tub, pool, theater room and pool table are great giving everyone lots of things to do if you don’t want to sit on the beach which is just steps away. The house is very well appointed and the view from the deck can’t be beat!"

Response:
Andrea, Thanks for the lovely review! You mentioned so many of the reasons to love Dolphin Patch. Thanks for being such great repeat renters. See you again in 2025. Lydia and Joe

"Size of the home and amenities. The amount of refrigeration units allowed for the 6 families we have to buy, plan, and cook meals. The bedrooms and baths were accommodating along with the overall space. Location to the beach was also a plus with little ones!"

Melody   ·  Stayed June 2024

"Love the house and location. Only suggestion would be a ladder to get in and out of pool… perhaps in the center of the shallow end steps."

Response:
Melody, we are glad you loved the house and have already re-booked for next year. We appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey. Thanks for the kind words and the feedback. Best to you and your family. Lydia and Joe
