There was a time when going to the Ocean for a vacation and staying in a motel was mysical. That feeling of excitement as you pushed open the wooden door, often swollen from humidity, the chain lock still rocking back and forth as you walked real fast across the room and opened your room's very own back door - sudden... more

My wife and I stayed here ONE night in April 2008. We were traveling around the North Carolina southern coastal area and contacted the Dolphin Lane directly on a Friday afternoon and were told there were plenty of rooms available for either a two or three night stay.

This was very disappointing. We had an efficiency Oceanfront room. I kept smelling an odor and the day we left, I... more

My husband, niece, and nephew stayed here for four days. Overall it was a pretty good time. Good things: It was extremely close to the beach and you didn't have to drag your beach things that far. We had an ocean side effeciency and the view was so much better than I thought. I would sit and watch out the... more
