Enjoy spectacular sunrises as you lounge on the over-sized rear deck complete with a stunning 180-degree panoramic view of the Bay and a quick commute to ALL the happenings in the 757!
Reserve your stay today and enjoy your own private beach on this pristine swath of the Chesapeake Bay! In Season rates run from May 15 thru September 4 and run from Saturday to Saturday.
Out of Season dates are flexible and require a 3- day minimum and are at reduced rates. We are strictly devoted to family-oriented vacations. Please note NO Parties, Family Reunions, Weddings, or large gatherings are allowed @ The Frisky Dolphin.
“The Frisky Dolphin” is located on the private end of fabulous Buckroe Beach in historic Hampton, VA. Buckroe Beach is on the Bay and is a ¾ mile stretch of white sand beach with an abundant & diverse ecosystem of plants, birds, and sea life. Pods of migrating Bottle Nose Dolphins frequent the surf in front of the unit frequently providing a spectacular show dancing on top of the water performing aerial stunts. Bird watchers will delight watching the Brown Pelican, osprey and even the majestic Bald Eagle soar overhead at close range hunting their next meal.
Sliding glass doors span across the entire back of the house spilling out on to the over -sized rear deck from the living room, master bedroom and one guest room. Each room has a clear view of the sand and the surf. Drift off to sleep listening to the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore.
The living room is spacious and features a fireplace with a beautiful stone chimney and a set of dual sliding glass doors spilling out on to the deck. The living room is complete with comfy furniture, mini stereo system, and a 60” flat screen TV.
