Never let the water out of sight at this beautifully renovated waterfront home - all that stands between you and your private boat dock is a sliding glass door! Spend sunny days swimming, crabbing, or launching kayaks and paddleboards off the pier. Bring your boat or rent one and explore the Outer Banks and miles of uninhabited beaches. You’ll also have access to a seasonal community pool and tennis courts.

Sip crisp drinks from your furnished patio or elevated deck - both offer serene water views. The light and bright interior showcases wall-to-wall windows. Enjoy a coveted open layout with a sleek full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, subway tile, and a three-seat breakfast bar. Whip up favorite recipes and serve memorable meals at the dining table. Kick back and watch TV in one of two seating areas, or peruse a collection of board games and enjoy a family game night. An outdoor shower and washer/dryer add convenience during your stay.

Fantastic week!

The house was so clean and the views are impeccable. The relaxation on the dock would have sufficed for me all week. Coffee out there or sitting by the row of windows when it rained was amazing. Beds were extremely comfortable. And my daughter was obsessed with jumping off the diving board at the pool all day!! Thank you

Not what I was expectinb

One of the reasons we chose this location was due to public pool access. We were not able to use the pool any of our trip. The people cleaning it were rude as if we should have known it was closed. I prefer to lay out by a pool rather than on sand which is what my plans were. Another thing my grandma was one of the people staying and she had trouble with the stairs. The boards were loose and would shift.

Our Stay At Scout's Cove

This was the perfect property for us. We LOVE the Colington area and this cottage is perfectly situated right on the water. It was the perfect size for us and our two dogs. It was nice to have a fenced yard to be able to not have to leash them up for potty breaks. The house is cozy and well-equipped. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Cute Quiet Beach House

We loved staying here for the week! It was calming and peaceful since the house is not off the main road. It is in a private community, further from the main road, which allows for a lovely retreat away!

Home great; service not so much.

The fenced yard for dogs was fantastic! Open the door and let him out. The waterfront deck was also very relaxing. So much better than a hotel or even a condo with dozens of other people around and no private outdoor space.

Wrong entry code

Waiting to get correct entry code after a 7 hour driver was ridiculous. No one could help for 30 min. Then the local manager got us in promptly.. Everything else was good. Feel like a partial refund for inconvenience would be the right thing to do.

Great property and community

The property was perfect for our trip. We were able to do some fishing in the sound. The neighborhood has a great community location to fish. It also has a dog park and a nice outdoor area with a playground and picnic tables. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. It is close to Nags Head and Manteo. The house was very nice. We loved the layout and the deck on the sound. The internet was not working but they provided a hot spot which worked most of the time. It only went out once and came back up within a few minutes,

Comfortable, but lacking amenities

The home was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. If we come back, we’ll need to remember to bring hand soap, sponges, and trash bags. We were disappointed in the lack of amenities, but we only stayed the weekend so it was a minor inconvenience. The dogs loved the backyard and the kayaks were great. A couple cute cafe options nearby. I’d recommend this location for sure.

Refreshing Short 3 Day Vacation

Loved the property. It was a great place for a short three day break from reality. Yucky weather but the location made it a peaceful get away. We will def use this service for our next trip. The process was easy from beginning to end. It was mindless for my busy schedule. Thank you

Great place, beautiful view.

We enjoyed our stay and I loved sitting on the boat dock in the afternoon. My only complaint is there are no curtains or blinds in windows facing the neighbors. There is new construction on one side and no curtain or blind covering the bathroom window.

Perfect for our boys

Great family stay with our dogs and boys ages 17 & 19. Our boys were all about the fishing and the outdoors. The place is nice, not luxurious, but was overall the perfect place for what we were interested in doing. Bring your own kitchen items including napkins, trash bags, plastic food containers etc. Our only real complaint was the grass hadn't been mowed. My only recommendation would be a low dock for the dogs to swim. We enjoyed it a lot.

Great updates made the house a home!

The nice updates especially floors for the dog. She felt at home right away. Only needed more lighting going up the steps and at the dock. Looks like you were working on decorative lighting. Only a few cob webs in house. Love the new lighting inside. Niice! We felt very much at home!

Great stay, cute house

We enjoyed our stay. The house was relatively clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The dock was unusable but that was communicated to us prior to our arrival. The only issues we encountered were there wasn’t a lot of clothing storage (one bedroom had a closet but no dresser and the other bedroom had a dresser but no closet) and we really wished there were blinds/ window coverings. The neighbors new homes are very close (not pictured in the listing) and we felt like we were on display. Taking all of that into consideration, we would still stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
