Escape to our waterfront canal home in gorgeous Colington Harbor, where you can savor the best of the Outer Banks without fighting the beach hordes or heavy traffic. Located just 3 miles from the oceanfront, our home offers a calming coastal setting with painless access to stores, eateries, and local attractions.

This home is designed for gathering, relaxing, and appreciating the water. Recent updates include an refreshed kitchen and a new fire pit added for 2026, ideal for evenings by the canal. The home also features a screened Florida-style lanai, giving your group a comfortable outdoor space to relax without the bugs sending you inside.

Guests adore the waterfront lifestyle here. You can swim or float in the warm canal water, launch a kayak or paddle board with ease, and discover the close by canals and sound. We provide simple water access steps, a floating dock, and space for your water fun right from the property. Bring your boat or WaveRunners too — we have a dock, lift, and Jet Ports, depending on the size of your watercraft.

The main level features a huge deck overlooking what we proudly call Garber Harbor — the ideal spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply relaxing by the water.

The lower level is all about fun and convenience, with a hot tub room, TV, refrigerator, and our Jimmy Buffett-themed sports bar complete with 3 TVs and a sound system. There is also a full-size refrigerator downstairs, making it easy to store drinks, groceries, and supplies for a full week’s stay.

Inside and out, the home is loaded with amenities to help make your vacation easy and comfortable, including:

Hot tub
Fire Pit (added 2026)
Grille
TV and audio systems

Refrigerators on both levels
Private deck off the primary bedroom

As part of Colington Harbor, guests also have access to community amenities including the HOA pool, private beach, and tennis/pickleball courts.

You will also appreciate the convenience of close by essentials. There is a convenience store close by for last-min. needs, plus a local seafood market on the same road where you can pick up fresh catch and even steamed blue crabs.

We have lived in and adored this home for 20 years, and we hope you will enjoy your stay here as much as our past guests have. We have tried to provide nearly everything you need for a fun, comfortable, and memorable Outer Banks vacation.

Please note: Guests should bring their own linens and towels, or we are happy to recommend a local rental service that can have everything ready for your arrival.
