New for 2024 Spring Season: This home will feature newly renovated decking and an updated gazebo area. Updated 12/14/23

This unique, hexagonal oceanfront home combines traditional charm with modern convenience and comfort. Enjoy the sweeping ocean views and watching for pelicans soaring overhead or dolphins playing off-shore from a number of vantage points - the spacious decks, gazebo with snack bar or the screened porch. The one-level living space is great for a couple or family who wants to experience the immediacy of the ocean while enjoying modern comforts. Memories made at "Dolphin's Leap" will last a lifetime.

"Location, location, location"

"House was well maintained. Perfect size for 1-2 people"

Bethel   ·  Stayed September 2023

"This house is perfect for one or 2 couples. Great location. The deck is the best! We spend most of our time outside, with choices of sun and shade, being out over the dune vs close to the house. And we love that the deck is fully gated so we can have a dog outside with us, relaxed and confident he won’t be able to run off. The gate just before the gazebo is very useful also, it helps us manage the excited barking at every dog that walks by."

Raymond   ·  Stayed September 2023

"Not everyone needs a castle sized home . This is the perfect size for a small family and made better still by allowing the dog family members to also enjoy a vacation. This lovely house has the best outdoor deck and furniture to enjoy the ocean. We have rented this home twice and would certainly not hesitate to return. It is simply the best!"

"On the beach with great ocean views. Lot of outdoor living space."

Nathan   ·  Stayed June 2023

"We loved the watching the sunrise with our family (pup included) while sitting on the covered dune deck and the private access to the beach. In a market dominated with huge homes, this smaller one met every one of our families needs for making a memorable OBX vacation."

"As always, the best. Doesn't get any better than Dolphins Leap!!"

"The deck and hot tub were amazing. The views are the best in Duck."

"We had a perfect week at Dolphin's Leap. The outdoor decking & gazebo were the highlights of the property. The perfect weather had us starting each day walking our dog on the nearly-deserted beach. The town of Duck is so nice in that dogs are allowed off-leash on the beach as long as they are closely monitored. Although the beach access shared with the neighboring house was mostly impassable, a neighborhood boardwalk access was only 1 house up the street, offering poop bags, a shower & footwash and even a Little Library offering books to borrow. We followed our walks by having breakfast under the deck's gazebo, overlooking the ocean. Some part of the home's decks remained in the sunshine for the entire day, unlike the taller homes whose decks and pool areas were shaded by 2pm. We brought back dinner-to-go a couple of evenings & ate under the gazebo, watching for dolphins, which we saw everyday. The house was a nice beach cottage ... very clean, with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We shut off the AC the moment we arrived & opened the windows in the kitchen & main bedroom (others were un-openable) to enjoy the breezes & sounds of the waves. The outdoor areas of the house could have been better-prepared for the spring season: the screen porch had a thick layer of sand on the floor & covering the table & chairs, & even the sliding door to enter the home had sand in the runners making it difficult to slide the door open. Fortunately, there was a broom provided so you could clean some of the sand off the decking & away from the door (definitely more than an overnight or weekly accumulation). The door lock could use some 3-in-1 oil to make locking & unlocking less difficult. Also, we wished there had been a safety bar in the shower area of the bathroom, as we found it a bit unsafe getting in & out of the tub ... we had purposely chosen this house as it allowed 1-floor living once you navigated the 12-step staircase to the main level, as my husband has Parkinson's Disease. A couple other minor things could've been improved upon: better instructions for TV usage & a trash dumpster that had wheels so you could roll it out to the street. But overall, just a perfect oceanfront cottage with wonderful outdoor areas to enjoy the lovely weather & peaceful vistas! So much so, that we are planning to rent for 2 weeks in 2024!"

"Dolphins leap is the best house around with the deck right out to the beach. We saw beautiful sunrises and watched for dolphins. My 2 dogs can run out to the deck and watch for people and they are safe on the deck. The house had everything we needed and very clean. If I could I would rent it every year."

Patrick   ·  Stayed September 2022

"The Deck was amazing, access to the beach was great."

Kristin   ·  Stayed August 2022

"The gazebo on the deck was a life-saver for family that for various reasons could not go down to the beach, but could sit there and still experience the ocean."

Linda   ·  Stayed May 2022

"First of all Duck has more lenient laws about dogs on the beach. Next - I love Dolphin's Leap because it isn't one of the huge houses. AND best of all is the covered gazebo!! Even in the rain I sat out there. Another plus is the big yard on the street side. It is sort of enclosed by greenery so my dog can play out there without me being worried about him running off. I look forward to my week at Dolphin's Leap all year."

Rebecca   ·  Stayed May 2022

"Love the home, laundry downstairs is difficult but doable. Storm washed out the walkway to the beach but we made do. LOVED the views. Kitchen needs to be restocked for measuring cups, pans other than non stick, and faucet mechanism with spray is not working… This is a fabulous house.!!!! Well kept and updated and despite hiccups a great place to stay!"
