Property Description
Welcome to The Blue Dolphin—a sweet and salty slice of Salvo, perfectly tucked between the ocean and the sound. This cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage is just the right size, whether you're looking for a full-time home, a relaxing getaway, or a smart little investment. With deeded beach access just a short stroll away, you’ll have your toes in the sand in no time.
Step inside and you'll find a home that’s been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated. The kitchen, laundry room, and downstairs bath feature fresh tile flooring, and the upstairs bathroom was fully remodeled. The kitchen includes newer appliances—like the fridge and stove—as well as a brand new dishwasher installed in spring 2025. The laundry area also features a new washer and dryer, replaced at the same time, making everyday living and turn-day prep a breeze. The major systems have been upgraded too, with a newer HVAC, ductwork, and water heater to keep things cool and comfortable year-round.
Outside, the updates continue: a new fortified roof in 2023, a sparkling hot tub added in 2022, and a full exterior refresh in April 2024—including new siding and trim, rebuilt decks, and a fresh coat of paint. The result? A clean, crisp beach cottage that’s ready to roll.
Spend your days soaking in the hot tub under the stars, tossing a few rounds of cornhole with friends, or heading to the beach for some surfing, paddleboarding, or kiteboarding. You’ve got ocean access just down the street and sound access across the road in Wind Over Waves. The nearby Salvo Day Use Area is perfect for picnics, shallow water play, and those epic Pamlico Sound sunsets. Plus, the multi-use path through the Tri-Villages makes it easy to bike or stroll to local favorites like Real Watersports, Good Winds, and Waterman’s.
The Blue Dolphin isn’t just a house—it’s a vibe. Updated, laid-back, and right where you want to be.
