Screened porch bliss
Great stay. Screened porch is the star - cut the cool breezes that sent everyone else inside. Beach was not crowded even though near two public access points. Perfect beach for your dog. People/community very friendly and courteous. A very relaxing peaceful week.

Great Beach Cottage
Overall, we really enjoyed staying at Dolphin Watch. The home is exactly what we look for in a cottage on the beach. Comfortable, clean, and inviting in an old school way. Is it opulent? Nope. But it feels like your home away from home. Topsail charm without the prentenciousness. It truly has all you'll need in the kitchen to boil up some shrimp and grill some fresh snapper. As a big bonus in August, the AC ran perfect. My teenage daughters loved the hot water capacity too! The owner has stocked a homemade spice Cajun rub that is excellent!

Already Planning Next Year!!
My husband, our four kids, my mom, and our two dogs just spent an entire week at Greg’s place. We had the most fantastic time right from the start. The best part about the whole place is the amazing screened in porch that allowed us to be outside at all hours of the day, regardless of the weather, with a full view of the ocean. Everything was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. We already can’t wait to return next summer. Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

Perfect Beach Cottage
This was our first time staying at this property and me and my family had a wonderful relaxing time. The screen porch was perfect for the kids to eat lunch outside at the picnic table and read in the swing and rocking chairs in the afternoons. The kitchen had everything we could’ve needed. Everything was clean and tidy. Great location. Quiet part of the beach, mostly other families. We loved being able to just walk down and be right on the beach to swim or fly a kite. Thank you for allowing us to stay. We would definitely book here again if we return to topsail beach.

Wonderful Getaway
Home was clean and provided many amenities. Definitely would stay there again. Only suggestion I would make is a lock w/working key on door to screened-in porch from house.
