The house is amazing: gorgeous, large, and very well appointed. There is an additional casita with full kitchen, bedroom, 2 bathrooms. All rooms were very clean, well decorated, and every amenity we could ask for. The host was very welcoming and communicative, and made everything easy. The house even had beautiful Christmas decorations with a tree for us.

Starting with our introduction to the Dolphin House by Carol everything was a dream. The Dolphin House is even nicer in person than in the pictures. The courtyard has a tranquil bubbling fountain, an outside dining area with a spotless grill and a covered area with a cozy gas fire pit. The location was fantastic - close and walkable to everything in Solvang. I would recommend the Dolphin House to anyone- especially family reunions, friends trip etc… it was perfect!

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.
