Dolphin Lookout lives up to its name
We loved staying at Dolphin Lookout. The location made a quiet respite after days spent in Beaufort or out on Cape Lookout. The water views were spectacular, and one of our party fished every day off the dock. The pool table got a lot of use, as did the porch swings. We rented kayaks and were out on the sound every day! Highly recommended. And don't miss the Stained Glass Gallery on Harker's Island. We did a bit of gift shopping there. Our only quibble was that for a house that sleeps eight, we found only one wine glass! Hardly a deal-breaker, but our five adults had to make do with drinking wine out of tumblers . . . . But we saw dolphins every day while swinging on the front porch, so Dolphin Lookout lives up to its name and we highly recommend it.

Summer 2022 vacation
Great views with large windows facing the water. We saw dolphins, stingrays, and little fish. Located in a rural neighborhood, very peaceful. Very nice to have a dock with a boat lift. Its pet friendly. I would recommend this property and will consider returning.

A Sound Vacation
The house was very roomy and as described. The kitchen was sparse on utensils and other essentials, but we made it work. The grounds were gorgeous and the water was so calm. The guys had a great time fishing and crabbing from the pier. The views from the back deck were wonderful. All in all our stay was very enjoyable and would reccommennd this house for rental.

Wonderful trip and home
This is a terrific spacious home with a great layout. The decks and property are amazing. We loved the 3rd floor with the pool table. Super views all around with amazing sunsets! And the dock and lift make it idea for anyone who wants to get out on the water. Mary- the property manager was extremely helpful and accommodating

Beautiful and relaxing vacation
The house was perfect for our family. There was space for everyone to both come together as well as find a quiet place to do things on their own. The views were wonderful and it is on a nice quiet street so we were able to truly read and enjoy ourselves. We were able to drop our kayaks in the back and paddle around as well as enjoy some great fishing off the dock. Caught several sharks and some other smaller fish. We all had a great week!

This property was spacious, clean, and modern. The leasing agent was very quick to respond to questions and the linen service was a nice feature. I will upload a short clip of the fishing highlights to Lee Hendrix NC Gold on YouTube if you're into fishing.

Wonderful short trip.
We stayed over Labor Day weekend and chose this home due to the dock as we have a boat. As it turns out we were able to use the hydrolic lift which was even better. The home, the view and the dock were amazing. The sunsets were picturesque and the ease of getting to Beaufort/Moorehead for evening dinners was great. Already planning another trip there. The house was well appointed and very comfortable for families with a dart board and a pool table. If you plan on boating please make sure you use navigational charts and know your tides as it does get shallow. Other than that, you will not regret staying here at all!!!

Good fishing!
Nice place and good fishing off the dock. We were able to see dolphins, stingrays, crabs, jellyfish, etc. We were intown to visit our youngest son, a Marine, and this house was great. Each day we were able to play pool, darts and fish. We caught several types of fish including a few baby sharks. My wife loved the porches.

Great weekend get away spot fishing trip with the fellas!!
We really enjoyed our stay for our party of 7. Fishing trip with the boys!! There was plenty of room for everyone. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the back deck staring out at the water. Very close to Morehead City were we chartered a boat for a day. We fished off the dock at the house and caught a couple baby sharks. Everything was clean would definitely stay here again!! My only gripe was there was no outside trash cans. I called the property manager and they said that they are working to correct that though.
