Discover a Waterfront Gem and Retreat at Westwind
Have a calming, memorable vacation at Westwind. This 5-bedroom home is located in Colington Harbour on 80' feet of breathtaking canal frontage with open access to the Albemarle Sound. The four-bedroom elevated saltbox offers additional kid quarters with a bunk bed, a private sundeck, a front screened-in porch, and a 480' square foot screened-in porch that overlooks the canal. Waterfront-covered decks and dockside seating areas provide the full enjoyment of waterside living. End your days on vacation by appreciating a gorgeous sunset on the water. Bring your boat, a fishing pole, or crab pot, or just relax on the roomy lighted dock with water and electric service. And for your convenience, a fish-cleaning table is available to all guests who stay at Westwind. Make this your ultimate canalfront escape!

When you pull up to this epic waterfront getaway, you'll find plenty of parking under the covered Carport to get comfortable for your Outer Banks vacation. Pass by the Outdoor Shower (which is great for rinsing off after a day at the beach or kayaking in the canal) as you head towards the downstairs Parlor Area where you can relax while you grille up your fresh, catch-of-the-day on the close by Gas Grille! After dinner, walk down to the dock where you can have fun crabbing, fishing, or putting your boat in the water for a little aquatic exploration.

On the Main Level, you'll find everything you need for a calming vacation and more! Appreciate the sunshine on the Front Sun Deck or make your way into the Screened-In Porch with cozy furnishings and a fan to keep the air circulating, making this the ideal place to savor a peaceful cup of coffee in the morning as you bask in the cool breezes off the canal. Inside, relax in the cavernous Living Area with high ceilings and soft furnishings located around a Flat Screen TV for the best family movie nights and ideal relaxation when you need it. Cook up some fresh, local seafood in the Kitchen with modern appliances to savor in the open-concept Dining Area, which is comfortably illuminated by the afternoon sun through the glass doors leading out to the front deck, or at the Breakfast Bar close by. Get some rest in the Queen Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom and access to the Laundry Area with a Washer and Dryer, so mid-week washes are fast and painless. Another Queen Bedroom features access to the second Screened-In Porch which overlooks the canal and offers plenty of space for waterside dining and fresh, open air while you relax and let the worries of the world wash away.

Take the inside stairs up to the Top-Level Loft overlooking the Main Living Area where you can get some sleep in the Queen Bedroom with access to a Private Deck with canal vistas, and an additional Queen Bedroom, or the convenient Bunk Room with 1 Bunk Bed Set that's great for letting the kids appreciate some time in their own space. A Full Hallway Bathroom keeps everybody comfortable. For some additional fun, take advantage of the Game Area with a Foosball Table and keyboard. And when it's time to head outside and have some fun after you've rested up, be sure to enjoy the many Colington Harbour Community Conveniences including a Sound Access, a Soundside Playground, a Basketball Court, and Community Pool (subject to availability). Westwind is sure to be your ideal Outer Banks escape year after year! Once you've spent a week in this beautiful home, you won't want to stay anywhere else.

Quiet Community With Ample Attractions
Colington Harbor is a impressive, secluded island community offering striking vistas and ample opportunity for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and an array of other watersports! Located about 15 mins. back from the main bypass, you are never far from something fun to discover or something good to eat. Try a tasty slice from Colington Pizza (they even deliver!) or sample a crab benedict and mimosa for Sunday brunch at The Saltbox Café. Colington Café is another great place to enjoy the local fare, especially if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary. If you enjoy cooking at home, stop by Billy's Seafood Market for a fine selection of fresh seafood including everything from shrimp and oysters to mahi-mahi and tuna. While you're out exploring, be sure to stop by the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you can experience an interactive museum about the nation's history of aviation and enjoy a 360-degree view of the surrounding beach as you stand beside the famed monument. There's also a great public bicycle and walking path close by along with dozens of stores and other great activities to ensure your vacation is a blast!
