Conceived in the early '70s with a mariner's heart, Dolphin Cove is a truly special private waterfront enclave in Stamford, distinguished by its singular lifestyle that masterfully combines authentic maritime pursuits with an exclusive, resort-style ambiance, creating a genuinely unique community.
Nestled along the water, this haven overseen by the Davenport Point Waterfront Association provides a serene living environment enhanced by magnificent vistas of Long Island Sound, the Old Greenwich shoreline, Stamford Harbor, and the community's own Lagoon, visible from the vast majority of its properties.
For boating enthusiasts, Dolphin Cove presents an ideal haven, boasting waterfront residences with deep-water access that welcomes sailing regardless of tidal shifts, and the prevalence of private docks ensures effortless waterway entry.
Beyond the individual maritime focus, the community spirit flourishes around the magnificent Dolphin Cove Club, distinguished as one of the region's largest and most beautiful waterside Club Grounds. This exceptional Club Area is the hub of activity, featuring two inviting pools with a Cabana, pristine access to two private beaches, a tennis court for friendly matches, and an impressive Pavilion perfectly suited for hosting memorable family parties and community gatherings for up to 200 people, all fostering a vibrant and active lifestyle just steps from home.
Here, amidst the beauty of nature and a distinct resort-like ambiance, the vibrant energy and conveniences of bustling Stamford Downtown and the charming character of Old Greenwich Village are always within easy reach.
One of Dolphin Cove's most prized secrets is a boater's dream: unparalleled deep-water access. Remarkably, sailboats with drafts up to seven feet can navigate throughout the community's harbor, Lagoon, and the connecting Cut to Long Island Sound, even when the tide is completely out. This consistent depth is possible because the waterways are entirely man-made and free from incoming rivers that would cause silting, which means dredging is rarely an issue.
At Dolphin Cove, maritime charm meets a diverse array of architectural expressions. The street names themselves – Flying Cloud Road, Dolphin Cove Quay, Half Moon Way, Gipsy Moth Landing, Joshua Slocum Dock, and Top Gallant Road – evoke a rich nautical heritage, reflected in the prevalent Colonial and Cape Cod styles, often reimagined with contemporary flair to maximize stunning water views.
Homes range from classic single-family residences to more expansive, custom-designed properties, many featuring traditional wood or shingle exteriors that blend seamlessly with the coastal New England landscape, creating a timeless and inviting community aesthetic. Life in Dolphin Cove offers an enviable spectrum of living spaces, from cozy three-bedroom homes around 1,800 square feet to grander residences exceeding 4,000 square feet, catering to various lifestyle needs.
Many residences boast features such as private pools, expansive waterside terraces, open floor plans designed for entertaining, and, most coveted of all, panoramic vistas of Long Island Sound, offering breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that define the ultimate coastal living experience.
Life at Dolphin Cove unfolds with an inviting blend of exclusive comforts and engaging community spirit, right from its heart. The magnificent, community-owned Club Area truly sets the tone, featuring two sparkling pools with a cabana, private beaches perfect for leisurely afternoons, a tennis court for friendly matches, and an impressive Pavilion capable of hosting joyful family gatherings of up to 200 people. This beautiful waterside hub, one of the region's finest, along with the deepwater harbor offering dedicated boat slips for every home—often seeing residents connect through shared maritime interests at community focal points like the Ponus Yacht Club—naturally fosters a lifestyle where boating is a cherished pastime and social events, both on and off the water, weave a tapestry of friendship and support, creating a warm, village-like atmosphere that residents treasure.
Beyond the Cove's private embrace, a world of delightful local amenities further enriches daily life. Residents can easily venture to the verdant expanses of Rosa Hartman Park or Kosciuszko Park for picnics, relaxing strolls, or active recreation, offering lovely green counterpoints to the maritime setting. For those drawn to the wider waters, Sound Waters Sailing provides wonderful opportunities to experience the thrill of Long Island Sound, welcoming everyone from seasoned sailors to curious beginners. This seamless extension of leisure, combined with the convenient proximity to the charming boutiques and cafes of Old Greenwich Village and the dynamic offerings of bustling Stamford Downtown, truly allows Dolphin Cove residents to savor the best of all worlds – a tranquil, amenity-rich haven with vibrant local experiences just moments away.
Because we love Fairfield County!
