We absolutely loved the house, inside and out. We didn’t even know how wonderful it was and how great the location until we got there. Carol, the host was super helpful. 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.

Family stay for wedding
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,

Great place for a big family
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.

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.

Great wine tasting weekend
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!!

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.
