Such a great location
We were a bunch of college friends now in our 40s and this was such a greasy gathering place and location for a quick reunion. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect. Beautiful grounds, definitely recommend for large groups or families

Wonderful and relaxing stay
This house was perfect for a 50th birthday lady's reunion get away. The house was very clean and well appointed. We loved sitting around the fire pit outside and enjoying the beautiful garden. The house is easy walking distance to all the stores and restaurants in Solvang and a short drive to Los Olivos and the winerys, but we enjoyed the house so much we didn't want to leave.

Fun Family Weekend Getaway
My family and I stayed here for a combined vacation and extended family vacation! This property exceeded all expectations and was perfect for our group of 8 adults! Carol met us when we checked in to ensure we were comfortable with everything and was great with the reservation process! It is walking distance to town and such an oasis! My family loved it and would definitely book again in the future!

First Visit to Solvang
The town is quaint and fun. This property is spacious and stunning — and steps away from a wide range of dining and shopping. Beautiful interior gardens and plenty of amenities made for a truly comfortable and memorable family gathering. Owners could not have been nicer.

Beautiful home with gorgeous outside space
We traveled with 6 family members to celebrate my Dad’s 90th birthday and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The house was spacious, immaculate and gorgeous. The outdoor area was stunning! We were able to walk restaurants and spent our days wine tasting in Los Olivos. We’ll be back!

Wedding weekend
Fabulous weekend at the Dolphin House! This was our second stay and it is an amazing home and our host Carol is wonderful! We had a lot going on with wedding events at many different venues, and it was great to have this amazing house to come home to. Plenty of room for our toddler granddaughter to roam and also great quiet rooms for the two babies . Beautiful home

Wow - better than expected!
We were 8 women ages 35-78 celebrating a birthday reunion. Perfect place! Spent all our free time in outdoor spaces or around large kitchen island (although we never cooked more than toast). We would definitely go back.

Great wine tasting weekend
A group of 11 of us stayed at the Dolphin House for a bachelorette weekend of wine tasting. The property and house are beautiful and spacious. It’s right in downtown Solvang so you can walk to anything in town. It’s a quick ride to Los Olivos and the various Santa Ynez wineries. Carol is lovely. She is very communicative and made the entire stay seamless. I highly recommend!!

Perfect House
---------- Forwarded message ------- We truly enjoyed our weekend. The photos online do not do this property justice. Bigger, more beautiful an extra large kitchen, living area and outdoor space. It was perfect for our group of 9 adults, family and friends attending a wedding in Buellton! Thank you, Joyce

A large beautiful home, with a cozy feeling
Can’t say enough how special this home was for our group. 9 women, celebrating a birthday. Home was immaculate, every amenity suppled. The gardens were so beautiful to enjoy, surrounded by grass..Walking into town a real benefit, for the shoppers, verses anyone staying back to relax. Heating and Air, very modern. Kitchen top appliances. Enough said. Probably can tell we all had a great stay!

MOST AMAZING HOME & HOSTESS!
We are a small group of mostly retired friends who make a wine trip once a year to Paso Robles. This year we decided to enjoy the Solvang area instead. We will definitely be back! This home is absolutely amazing in every way! It is beautiful, clean, roomy, and has every amenity to make you feel at home & pampered. Carol, our hostess, was so welcoming & accommodating. Her communication was outstanding! Thank you, Carol, for helping to make our trip the success & fun that it was! We will be back!

Highly recommend the Dolphin House
Dolphin House is well-located in center of Solvang so we could walk to most activities. The house is well-equipped and features a beautifully designed and meticulously maintained garden with reading lounges, 2 outdoor dining areas, bocce court, and an outdoor living room with fire pit. The owner is welcoming and super helpful!

Family stay for wedding
The Dolphin House is in the middle of Solvang, easily accessible with a short walk to Danish bakery, restaurants, shops and a brewery. The Hotels are in short walking distance if meeting a wedding party etc. The House is beautiful, clean with every necessity you could need. Clean linens, complete stocked kitchen with pans and utensils to have additional guests for a party. Open garden with adjoining house for additional bedroom with kitchen and living area, bathroom and full en-suite bathroom. Multitude of comfortable outdoor seating with tables, chairs and firepit. Outdoor game of Boche ball or corn hold. It was a paradise and with all of our guests enough private space for each. Washer and Dryer were a great addition,, Highly recommended,

Great place for a big family
The front entrance doesn’t show how beautiful and big inside at all. But once you open the front door, you definitely say “Wow !” It’s nice place for the family or friends gatherings. 👍 We had a wonderful stay there for our daughter’s wedding at the Hill top ranch. The town Solvang is also very charming.
