Dancing Dolphin is a pet-friendly Outer Banks escape that your family will love! An open top-level layout (with great views) keeps everyone connected while allowing plenty of room to spread out. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features granite countertops and an island bar, connecting the dining area and living space with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. A loft game table offers an additional area for cards, poker, or puzzles.

Multi-level decks wrap around the home, providing plenty of space to relax outdoors, and the rooftop overlook offers a stunning ocean view. The four master bedrooms all have an attached bathroom and are spacious and comfortable. A ground-level rec room with a pool table adds another fun hangout spot after a day at the beach.

With the private community beach access just 200 feet away, beach days are effortless. After a morning on the sand, return to your own private oasis featuring a sparkling pool, a hot tub for unwinding, and plenty of seating to relax in the salty breeze. An outdoor shower and changing area keep the sand outside where it belongs, and the fish cleaning station makes preparing the day’s fresh catch a breeze. Whether grilling up dinner or lounging with a book, the outdoor spaces are designed for making the most of your time by the coast.

Located in the quiet and family-friendly Carolina Dunes community, Dancing Dolphin offers easy access to Duck’s walking and biking path, making it a great choice for joggers and explorers.

Ben Franklin

Stop by Nags Head's Ben Franklin at Mile Post 10 on the Bypass where you will find everything you need for the beach! From Clothing, T-shirts and Swimwear to Boards, Chairs, Umbrellas and Tackle. You'll find it all…and of course, we have the best selection of Souvenirs anywhere on the Outer Banks. Enjoy your vacation! Independently owned by a member of one of the Outer Banks’ oldest families, the Ben Franklin store is stocked with just about everything a visitor would need to go to the beach.

 

Ben Franklin stores were once part of a five-and-dime retail empire, with about 2,500 locations across the country in its heyday. As decades passed and the times and customers began to change, many closed their doors, leading to fewer than 150 of these nostalgic shops. Nags Head Ben Franklin, however, has withstood the test of time and adapted to the needs of its customers to provide a memorable shopping experience on the Outer Banks.

 

Debbie Terry Tolson, manager of the Ben Franklin location in Nags Head, recalls working with former owner Tommie Daniels. Daniels’ father, Moncie Daniels, started the business in downtown Manteo in the early 1900s. The Daniels family has been a longstanding fixture in the Outer Banks business community—Moncie even sold gas to the Wright brothers in 1903.

 

Tommie, with an excellent business mind, saw the opportunity the new Bypass presented and, in 1977, he opened the Nags Head location of Ben Franklin. He was one of the first businesses on the Bypass,” Tolson says.In addition to a new location, the Ben Franklin store saw a new group of customers.

 

“People would come from all around because Tommie had a little bit of everything—it was more like a five and 10 then,” Tolson explains. “As he went to the beach, he began to get more tourists, so he started catering more and more to visitors.”

 

Today, the 21,000-square-foot souvenir shop quickly catches the attention of anyone driving by thanks to the ocean-themed mural that decorates the façade of the building, painted by local artist Rob Snyder. This Ben Franklin location has become the must-stop shop for both first-time visitors to the area and generations of families who escape to the Outer Banks annually.

 

Tolson credits the great prices and friendly customer service to the success of the location, which keeps families returning.“People come in all the time and tell me, ‘my grandmother or my grandfather used to bring me here and now I’m bringing my children,’” she shares. “One of my favorite parts about working here is seeing the people come back year after year.”
