Arrive easier. Leave easier. Start your vacation relaxed—not sitting in traffic.

Escape to our waterfront canal home in beautiful Colington Harbor, where you can enjoy the best of the Outer Banks without fighting the beach crowds or heavy traffic. Located just 3 miles from the oceanfront, our home offers a relaxing coastal setting with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

This home is designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the water. Recent updates include an updated kitchen and a new fire pit added for 2026, perfect for evenings by the canal. The home also features a screened Florida-style lanai, giving your group a comfortable outdoor space to relax without the bugs sending you inside.

Guests love the waterfront lifestyle here. You can swim or float in the warm canal water, launch a kayak or paddle board with ease, and explore the nearby canals and sound. We provide easy water access steps, a floating dock, and space for your water fun right from the property. Bring your boat or WaveRunners too — we have a dock, lift, and Jet Ports, depending on the size of your watercraft.

The main level features a large deck overlooking what we proudly call Garber Harbor — the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply relaxing by the water.

The lower level is all about fun and convenience, with a hot tub room, TV, refrigerator, and our Jimmy Buffett-themed sports bar complete with 3 TVs and a sound system. There is also a full-size refrigerator downstairs, making it easy to store drinks, groceries, and supplies for a full week’s stay.

Inside and out, the home is loaded with amenities to help make your vacation easy and comfortable, including:

Hot tub
Fire Pit (added 2026)
Grill
TV and audio systems
WiFi
Refrigerators on both levels
Private deck off the primary bedroom
Bathrooms and showers on all levels
Corn Hole Boards - Large Backyard
Kayaks and bicycles available
Plenty of driveway parking

As part of Colington Harbor, guests also have access to community amenities including the HOA pool, private beach, and tennis/pickleball courts.

You will also appreciate the convenience of nearby essentials. There is a convenience store close by for last-minute needs, plus a local seafood market on the same road where you can pick up fresh catch and even steamed blue crabs.

We have lived in and loved this home for 20 years, and we hope you will enjoy your stay here as much as our past guests have. We have tried to provide nearly everything you need for a fun, comfortable, and memorable Outer Banks vacation.

Please note: There are no linens included. Guests should bring their own linens and towels, or we are happy to recommend a local rental service that can have everything ready for your arrival.
