We enjoyed everything about this unique stay. We enjoyed the island, the community pool, the uniqueness of the house itself, and the great access to the canal and sound. We would love to come back. I don’t love having to do an actual checkin at the office that was further north - as I am used to vrbo - going straight to the house.

We loved our stay at The Pirate House!! The house was quaint but exactly what we neeed. We loved that we were able to bring our dog. The view of the canal is lovely. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was so unique and fun. It was great for our family of 5 and dog. The neighbors were very nice. I wish it was a but closer to the beach but the community is as great and beach access was very easy to get to. We got locked out one night and within 25 mins we were back in so that was impressive. I would deff stay again! overall a great experience

Very cute house and my 2 boys absolutely loved the pirate theme! Beautiful sound view and nice neighbors. Location was great for beach access without having to go too far. Suggestion- bring towels, and bathroom mat and kitchen drying towel. Other than that it was a perfect stay. My kids even cried before having to leave and keep asking to go back!

Perfect Sunsets on the Dock

The first week of our summer vacation was on the beach in Avon. The second week was here in Colington. It was exactly what we needed - just relaxing. Canoed to the pool a few times. Looked forward to the sunsets every night. Hope to be back.

We love traveling and visiting new places.

Why they chose this property

We've always been drawn to the coast and we were lucky enough to get the amazing opportunity to have this property in Kill Devil Hills. What we love the most about The Pirate House OBX is it's nestled in a quiet peaceful relaxing area but still close enough to all the activities the Outer Banks has to offer.

What makes this property unique

This is not a cookie cutter traditional square beach cottage. Built in the 1970's the Pirate House OBX is one of the original A frame cottages built in the Colington Harbour area. It's angular design and quirky pirate themed décor provides you and your group with a truly unique vacation experience
