Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN DOES THE POOL OPEN / CLOSE?
The pool is open early May to mid-October. But we'll open it in April for $100 + tax per week.
​
IS THE HOT TUB OPEN ALL YEAR?
Yes!
​
IS THIS THE BEACH HOUSE FOR US?
Our location is very central. We can help you figure out the distance to your favorite activities. If the Dolphin Inn is not a good fit, we’ll be glad to point you in the right direction.
​
IS THE HOUSE ACCESSIBLE?
Guests will need to navigate stairs.​
​
ARE THERE OTHER FEES?
-
One mature dog is welcome ($95.00 pet fee)

Sheets and towels are included or BYO to save $250

​
IS THE POOL HEATED?
No, but it's naturally warm into the fall. While many houses in the Outer Banks have pools in front of or behind their houses, ours is on the south side so it's always warmed by the sun.
