Before stepping inside you can easily rinse off in the outdoor shower.

You'll immediately feel welcomed in the open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light that shines in through the windows positioned for southern sun exposure.

You're guaranteed to get a great night's sleep in any one of the 3 large bedrooms, One room features a comfortable Queen bed and its own private balcony, while one of the others has plenty of sleeping space with 2 Double Beds. There is also a full-sized bathroom in the hall with a tub/shower combo. In the evenings, you'll love stepping out on the top-level sun deck to get a front-row seat to a famous Outer Banks sunset.

Quiet Community With Ample Attractions
Colington Harbor is a beautiful, secluded island community offering amazing views and ample opportunity for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and an array of other watersports! Situated about 15 minutes back from the main bypass, you are never far from something fun to explore 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 famous monument. There's also a great public bike and walking path nearby along with dozens of shops and other great activities to ensure your vacation at The Bright Side is a blast!
