About this property

Waterfront Retreat with Private Dock on the Sound

  • Canal Front Cottage is your Outer Banks reset. A peaceful waterfront escape with a private dock perfect for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Large upper deck with grill, chef-ready kitchen, fast WiFi, and memory foam beds.

    Sip coffee on the screened porch, watch sunrises and sunsets over the canal, and enjoy our shaded private beach area and hammock.

    65" TV and game room. Linens included. Minutes to beaches and dining. Quiet, family-friendly, and great year round.

    The "Canals of Colington Harbour" is one of the best kept secrets in the Outer Banks! Here, at the Canal Front Cottage, you will get the most amazing sunrises and sunsets, a beautiful view of the canal with deck access right off the master bedroom, a beautiful kitchen and dining area for family gatherings, a game room, and so much more.

    Not to mention all the wonderful things to explore in the area. Beach days, secret sunset spots, lovely walks and boardwalk hikes, kayak tours, lighthouse tours, ferries to secluded islands with wild horses, game nights with the family, beach bar hops, fishing on the pier, you name it!

Perfect Landing

The location was perfect for our first family vacation in a very long time . Being able to crab and fish right from the dock was great! Pool was fantastic be prepared to pay $2 per a bracelet for the pool though for your stay (I left my bracelets behind, hopefully they'll be available to the next people!) Brian was so accommodating and responded quickly.

Mini vacation

We had an amazing time during our short stay. The house is amazing just as described. It is peaceful and relaxing. The sunrise on our last day was absolutely beautiful. A very short trip to the beach. Will definitely be staying again.
