3 Bedroom House in Emerald Isle

Welcome! You’re on beach time at The Chatty Dolphin!
Rest, recharge and relax. We’re all about having fun in a casual beach setting and hope our home away from home provides this for you too! The area has so many things to offer and this location is unique to the island as a nature and animal lover's delight! Pet friendly with additional fee. Restaurants right around the corner, and 41 acre park just outside the backyard!
A private hot tub overlooks the wooded backyard, gazing up into the tree canopy. Turn on the jets, changing color lights and waterfall and take in the abundant sounds of nature. For additional ambience, string lights adorning the sky can be turned on as well, and LED tiki torches come on each night.
An outdoor shower makes post beach clean-up of your family (including the four-legged ones) a breeze with hot and cold water, along with a nearby hose for cleaning up beach gear.
With the addition of an outdoor dining table, family seating for six is adjacent to the wood fired pizza oven. The pizza oven is a fun and fantastic way to make dining an experience without ever going out. Dough, sauce and cheese to get started with are provided along with all the tools and some books for how-to and fun recipe ideas. Also great for baking bread, cedar planked salmon, pizookie cookies, cobbler, cast iron cinnamon rolls and more! Yum!
Winding down? Enjoy hot cocoa and cider provided while roasting S’mores on the firepit. S'mores materials all provided! Firewood and hard wood for cooking are available for purchase at local grocery stores, Ace and Walmart; a bundle of complimentary hard wood is included to get you started.
On the back deck are the soothing sounds of the fountain coupled with handcrafted cedar bench and planter full of fresh herbs for your cooking pleasure. A stainless grill is on the back deck and ready to make your next meal.
Inside the kitchen we have an Instant Pot, Ninja Blender and Bread Machine. The bread machine can be set on a timer to make and bake so you wake to the enticing aroma of fresh baked bread. Sourdough boxed mix and additional bread flower and yeast are provided along with a recipe ideas book. Nothing like fresh sourdough paired with the local catch on a coastal evening, or paired with some traditional local chowder.
Some of the kitchen appliances are a little older, but American made and still going strong. Nearly any spice or cookware item you’d wish to use while cooking is probably stocked in this kitchen, as we love to cook and try new local recipes! Stainless pans, pots and cookware. In the summer the Ninja hooks us up with refreshing smoothies after visiting the nearby farmers markets and in the fall and winter we find ourselves making soup with the Instant Pot and Ninja which saves time and money to spend on the fun stuff while traveling. A Kuerig, k-cups, tea, sugar, honey and creamer are provided.
In the master bedroom is a King size bed and attached bathroom with large shower. Plush bath towels (XXL bath sheets), hand towels and wash clothes are included two per each room. The other bedrooms are each Queen beds with a guest bathroom separating them (shower/tub unit). All linens are provided, and everything is washed between guests, comforter/duvet covers and all throw blankets too!
In the Laundry Nook you’ll find beach towels, and spa towels for the hot tub. Broom and dustpan, handheld broom and dustpan, handheld vacuum, detergent, wool dryer balls, first aid kit. A stand-up vacuum is in a guest room closet also.
In the living room you’ll find two plush sofas that are extra soft and cozy! Apple TV device which you can login to your subscription channels, i.e Netflix, Prime, Disney +, Hulu and more is ready for you. In addition a DVD player with DVD’s is ready for use, and a CD player with CDs. Board games, books, an electric fireplace and cozy throw blankets make the space ready to enjoy. The fireplace can be enjoyed with or without heat.
Munchies are covered with sweet and savory complimentary snacks on-hand in the snack tower.
Beach access: A few minutes drive to the public beach accesses on Ocean Drive (which has golf cart parking too, if you're renting a golf cart) or a ~14 minute walk.
Parking: Plenty of parking on the driveway with room to park a boat also. (Please, no parking on the grass/yard).
Location: A tad inland on the Sound side of Emerald Isle, adjacent to 41-acre park with dog-friendly trails, disc golf and kayak launch. Dining such as Gaffer’s and Lazzara’s Pizza and Subs, ice cream and candy are just around the corner. Water park, fuel and go-karts nearby. We love all the cool wildlife we get to see and experience with this location that we otherwise wouldn’t see elsewhere on the island; it’s a special place.
Emerald Isle is full of so many fun things to do that it’s essential to have a quiet place to recharge! We’re that place, cozy and on a quiet street. Thank you for considering your next stay at The Chatty Dolphin!

Summary: The main reason for our stay there was that it was not a hotel or condo environment and it had a hot tub. The first thing we encountered was a master bedroom that smelled like urine. We the ventured out to the front porch where my wife caught her footvon a nail that was a quarter inch above the floor and there were several like that. When we went to use the hot tub the water level was about down to the seats so we had to fill it back up whiched caused us another 36 hours before the temperature was back up to par. Oh the water level was down 6 - 8 inches when we left two days later. The listing said that they provided the fixins for the pizza oven. They did but it was all expired and we had to go out and by our own. They also had a tier stand that they stocked up with snacks for you to enjoy. ALL the snacks except the small bags of chips ahoys were expired. 2024 expired!!! The fans in the master bedroom and one other bedroom could not be ran past low speed because anything above that the fan sawyed and rattled so loud it was inbearable. Last but not least the A/C was not working. It would not cool the house during the day and the set temp would not be reached until early AM like 3:00 or 4:00 AM then it would steadily rise as the outside aircrose. Oh, property location. You practicall had to drive everywhere because if you rented a golf cart ( we did) you could not get anywhere with it as you werent sllowed to drive it on the toad that took you into town so that was a waste
