About the host
Hosted by scott garber Owner
My wife and I are brand new Host with VRBO. We have a wonderful home on the water we call Garber's Harbor. We wan to share our home with families that want to enjoy and learn what the OBX area can provide for a fun vacation. We have owned this property for over 20 years and we know you will enjoy the neighborhood and the amenities offered in our harbor. We have our own beach and community pool. Tennis, Pickleball and Basketball courts. If you have a boat or wave runner we have a boat ramp available and we have a lot of dock space. Easy access to our canal to swim or float. And we have Kayak for your use to paddle around the 7 canals that make up Colington Harbor. My wife Debby also does the cleaning in our house and we live about 2 miles away when you are using our home if you have any issue or needs for supply. It is our goal to make sure you have a fun experience staying at our place at Garber Harbor
Why they chose this property
Waterfront home that has 3 living levels. Lower level is our entertainment level with our screen in bar grill area. TV sports bar setup or music system to set the mood in our Jimmy Buffet Key West theme bar. It is also were we have our Hot Tub with it's own TV and sound system. Our main living level has our dinning rooms and kitchen centered between 2 living rooms. I room for relaxing and sitting around for conversation or puzzles or cards and the other living room area has our TV Audio System room and Colington Island Card Dinning table. This level also has a large deck for outside drinks and conversation and to watch all the boaters floating by. Looking over the canal and watching the water can add to the trip in saying we can just relax and enjoy what the day offeres right here on our deck.
What makes this property unique
There are many homes you can choose from, but we offer water front canal home. Bring your boat or wave runners kayak or paddle boards or use ours. Go to our pool or play pickleball or tennis.
