Lovely house with awesome yard/screened in porch.

The house was as described. Lovely, clean, and great neighborhood. We had a rainy two days during our stay so the screened in porch was a great bonus. We could still be outside but dry. Owner also checked on us. Nice touch! Would recommend for a family.

Wonderful!

Great house, neighborhood and location!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House is very clean, nicely appointed and the fireplace was wonderful for our wintertime beach getaway. Would love to come back in warmer weather to take advantage of the lovely screened in porch, water access, and other neighborhood amenities. House is also extremely close to the Wright Brothers monument/park. Host was very friendly, helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!!

Harbor Home, Colington Island, Outer Banks

Spent the first week of November for our autumn trip to the Banks. This 2-bedroom cottage was ideal for my wife, me, and our pet Stella. The location, on a residential harbor, was ideal for enjoying the activities of the surrounding area; but, tucked away on the sound side in a quiet, gated community. We really enjoyed sitting on the boat dock with a beverage in the afternoons. Hope this property is available so we can stay here again.

Fall Road Trip from FL to ME

We stayed for 3 nights and experienced breezy weather, great generational restaurants, shopping, sunsets, lighthouse sights, and more. Beautifully situated cottage that was exactly how it was described. Comfortable beds, rockers on back screened porch, fully equipped kitchen, and more. The communication was always prompt and informative. Thank you for making our first leg of the trip relaxing.

Enjoyable stay at Colington Harbour, NC

Our family of six (6) really enjoyed ourselves in Colington Harbour at this lovely beach front property. It was clean & well-maintained. We were three (3) couples (brothers & their wives) that got together for the weekend for fun, fishing & driving on beach. We literally just walked out the back door to the water. Everything you wished for was within a mile or so...great restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Wright Brothers Musuem was well worth the visit & that too was about 5 miles away. The cottage has all the amenities needed (i.e., disherwasher, plates, cups, silverware, refrigerator & washer/dryer). There are two (2) nice bedrooms (one has a half-bath). There is a pullout couch, but bring a topper if you are older! We purchased food to cook on grill provided in the back one evening. There is a screened-in back porch where we spent plenty of time lounging around & tasting different spirits. Check-in was very easy. Host provided all instructions to gain access to cottage & how to get the permit for entry into the gated community well in advance of arrival. We loved our neighbor & even one long-time resident came to say hello & chatted for awhile. Such a friendly neighborhood. The Host (Ms. Barbara) was responsive when texted & checked on us to see if everything was to our liking. All-in-all, when everyone's schedules permit, we plan to return for much longer than a weekend!
