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.

Excellent!! What a beautiful home and piece of property within short walking distance to everything in Solvang’s adorable town. The kitchen was so well stocked with serving platters, baking and cooking items. A definite must stay if you are looking for a spacious, charming home with your own courtyard retreat. Thank you for sharing your gem of a place.

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!

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!

This home is so lovely! Plenty of space to spread out, comfortable beds and bedding, well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful and peaceful yard with several seating areas. Our group enjoyed the fact that there were multiple king beds - always a plus when you have multiple couples. One little thing that was really nice that you don’t often find in rentals is that they have plenty of throw blankets. We enjoyed the fire pit and bocce ball outside, too. Location was perfect - close to everything (walkable) but on a quieter street. We would definitely stay again.

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,

As a group of 6 women who have all traveled a ton over our 55 lives, this is by far one of the most beautiful places we have all ever stayed! The home was immaculate, the space for all of us to spread out was fabulous and the beauty of the home and the yard was stunning! Carol was a great host!! We were so happy to meet her and Kim as well! Everything was so close to the home. Walking distance to the entire town but yet in its' own compound! Loved that the kitchen had everything we needed, bathrooms as well. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and grill numerous times during our stay. Even played a game of Bocce! We are definitely recommending this place to friends and family! We hope to be back! Thanks for hosting us!! -Pam

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!

The owner was clear and responsive in her communication. We loved the location because it allowed us to walk into Solvang village easily (and quickly return with our pastry stash, haha!). I would definitely recommend this lovely home!

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.

We spent a lot of time around the fireplace or the outdoor fire pit. Everything was perfect!!!Now we need another excuse to go to Solvang so we can rent the house again.

As a group of 6 women who have all traveled a ton over our 55 lives, this is by far one of the most beautiful places we have all ever stayed! The home was immaculate, the space for all of us to spread out was fabulous and the beauty of the home and the yard was stunning! Carol was a great host!! We were so happy to meet her and Kim as well! Everything was so close to the home. Walking distance to the entire town but yet in its' own compound! Loved that the kitchen had everything we needed, bathrooms as well. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and grill numerous times during our stay. Even played a game of Bocce! We are definitely recommending this place to friends and family! We hope to be back! Thanks for hosting us!! -Pam

Central, walkable Solvang location close to shops, restaurants, and bakeries. Several note easy access to Los Olivos wineries and that the street feels quiet and private.

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.

The establishment met all our needs. It was a fantastic family stay. The house and outside area was beautiful. One we will be making again in the future. The perfect location to walking downtown and enjoying the amazing community.

Location, location, location! You won’t want to stay anywhere else. This home is absolutely stunning—private and relaxing, yet right in the heart of all the action in Solvang. It strikes the perfect balance, making it an ideal spot for a group getaway. Truly the perfect home base.

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!!

Excellent!! What a beautiful home and piece of property within short walking distance to everything in Solvang’s adorable town. The kitchen was so well stocked with serving platters, baking and cooking items. A definite must stay if you are looking for a spacious, charming home with your own courtyard retreat. Thank you for sharing your gem of a place.

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!

Our multi-generational family group had a wonderful stay here. The home and gardens are pristine and gorgeous. There was so much space for everyone to spread out. Attention to detail is obvious. The owner was clear and responsive in her communication. We loved the location because it allowed us to walk into Solvang village easily (and quickly return with our pastry stash, haha!). I would definitely recommend this lovely home!

This home is so lovely! Plenty of space to spread out, comfortable beds and bedding, well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful and peaceful yard with several seating areas. Our group enjoyed the fact that there were multiple king beds - always a plus when you have multiple couples. One little thing that was really nice that you don’t often find in rentals is that they have plenty of throw blankets. We enjoyed the fire pit and bocce ball outside, too. Location was perfect - close to everything (walkable) but on a quieter street. We would definitely stay again.

Layout of home is spacious and perfect for families traveling together. Both of our daughters, their husbands, and our 2-year-old granddaughter and 7-month-old grandson had plenty of options where to hang out and/or play indoors and outdoors. The 6-burner Thermador range, huge island and well-appointed kitchen gear are a chef’s or novice’s dream. A short 5-minute walk took us into Solvang where the pace is unrushed. Sunstone and Beckman Wineries were visited and given a thumb’s up. If you enjoy local history, don’t miss the Elverhoj Museum. It’s small, but well done and worth the modest admission fee. We will be back!

I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO’s, and this was an exceptionally pleasant experience. It was clean, better than advertised, quiet, spacious, really easy to work with the owners. Would come back to Solvang just to stay here again.
