About this property

This cottage is located on Colington Island and is off the beaten path but still only 3.5 miles (a quick 8 minute drive) to the beach. You will be welcomed to this very clean and cozy, fully stocked and full of character cottage with a WATER VIEW OF THE SOUND. This cottage is located 1 lot from the sound and has a great water view.

The cottage is ground level and free of stairs. All doors are wide and handicap friendly. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. There is a utility room with washer and dryer available for guest use. Both bedrooms have queen size beds. The sleeper sofa also offers a queen size bed. Linens and bath towels/wash cloths are provided. The kitchen is stocked and has everything you need to prepare your evening meal after a day at the beach. This home is furnished with local hand painted eclectic decor. The outdoor shower welcomes you after a trip to the beach or for a shower under the stars. Just around the corner you can go crabbing on what us locals call “the crabbing bridge” such a great time and great way to make memories! This cottage is fantastic and waiting to offer you the perfect vacation!

Both bedrooms have Zinus 12 hybrid mattresses. These are a medium firmness in hopes of finding comfort for the majority of guests.

Thorough enjoyment of the cottage on Colington Road

This cottage was the perfect accommodations for my husband, my mother, my dog, and myself! It's location is convenient to nearby eateries and activities. The host did an amazing job at making sure we had all we needed, and had all the information we needed. Her recommendations for treats and eats were excellent. The cottage was clean and inviting. Well done!

Love the House

House was nicely updated and everything was as described. Everything was there that we needed but a grill. It was easy to get to and a good location to do sightseeing. The view could have been a little nicer.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had an amazing week at the cottage. The place was centrally located and we easily visited all of OBX from here. The house was sparkling clean. Our 14 month old love the open space since he was just learning to walk. They have a lot of nice touches and extras for all the things you might forget. We would definitely stay here again.

Great weekend getaway!

Very cute, well taken care of cottage, where our family of four felt welcomed and comfortable. Everything was very clean and the owner was so friendly and engaging. The location was perfect for quiet evenings and just a short drive to the beach and great food and fun.

Our favorite place

We have stayed at the Island cottage numerous times and have never been disappointed. We ran into some medical issues with my son this last trip and the Host could not have been more kind and helpful, they even offered to watch our pets while we went to the hospital. Love this place and the people. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Hidden Gem

This cottage was everything that was described and pictures showed in the listing. It was cozy and felt like a home away from home. Very clean! Nice decor and very well stocked. Close to everything. Tanya was a wonderful communicator. She got back to us within an acceptable timeframe and answered any questions we had and made great suggestions.

Great for anyone!

We have rented many vrbo’s in the past and I have never been in a home that is so well equipped and welcoming. There is anything you could possibly want from snacks, spices, toothbrushes and on and on. Very dog friendly and wonderful for mobility issues. Unloading and loading the car was so easy since you park right at the front door. We recommend this vrbo highly and Tanya is a gem.

Everything you could ask for

Tanya was a great host and the house is exactly as described. Brought my mom down for an early 77th birthday celebration and it was great for her because of no stairs. We can’t wait to come back.

This place was perfect for my 88 yo father who cannot do stairs. Tanya’s very thoughtful touches made the stay exceptional. The beds are so comfortable. The sheets are high quality. Tanya has so many extras in the cottage you need to stay there and see them for yourself.

OBX

We loved staying at this property. It was VERY clean, had a beautiful view of the sound, and was in a great location. Close to everything you would need or want but still in a pretty quiet area. Tanya provided so many extras throughout the house, in case you forgot something. She really put a lot of thought into what her guests may need. We were very impressed. Would definitely stay here again.

Best VRBO property I've ever rented. The owner has thought of absolutely every little thing you could need during your stay, including a well stocked kitchen. Super comfortable, bright, and spacious. Beautiful view of the sound. Quick access to the beach and everything you need. Excellent communication from the property manager, with many useful tips about the area and things to do. Would definitely stay here again!

Fun little getaway!

This was such a great little escape, perfect for us and our dog! The property manager was very nice and gave us great recommendations for food and shops and was very quick to reply. The house was very clean with a cute basket of complementary snacks and waters. We could walk to a pizza place down the road and to a coffee shop, both were fantastic! We also pulled out some chairs and relaxed by the water which had a great view! Would definitely come back!

Sweet cottage on the bay - welcoming of pups!

My family enjoyed our four days at the cottage very much. The house is extremely well stocked with many thoughtful details like mints, dog treats, and toiletries to replace any items you might have missed when packing. The bath tub is deep and was a big hit with my kids. There is even a bed for your pup! We were very delighted by the comfort and hospitality of the cottage.
