OBX Island Cottage~Water view~ 1 level, no stairs~ Beach 3.5 miles (8 min drive)

This cottage is located on Colington Island and is off the beaten path but still only 3.5 miles (a quick 8 minute drive) to the beach. You will be welcomed to this very clean and cozy, fully stocked and full of character cottage with a WATER VIEW OF THE SOUND. This cottage is located 1 lot from the sound and has a great water view.

The cottage is ground level and free of stairs. All doors are wide and handicap friendly. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. There is a utility room with washer and dryer available for guest use. Both bedrooms have queen size beds. The sleeper sofa also offers a queen size bed. Linens and bath towels/wash cloths are provided. The kitchen is stocked and has everything you need to prepare your evening meal after a day at the beach. This home is furnished with local hand painted eclectic decor. The outdoor shower welcomes you after a trip to the beach or for a shower under the stars. Just around the corner you can go crabbing on what us locals call “the crabbing bridge” such a great time and great way to make memories! This cottage is fantastic and waiting to offer you the perfect vacation!

Both bedrooms have Zinus 12 hybrid mattresses. These are a medium firmness in hopes of finding comfort for the majority of guests.

We had an amazing week at the cottage. The place was centrally located and we easily visited all of OBX from here. The house was sparkling clean. Our 14 month old love the open space since he was just learning to walk. They have a lot of nice touches and extras for all the things you might forget. We would definitely stay here again.

House was nicely updated and everything was as described. Everything was there that we needed but a grill. It was easy to get to and a good location to do sightseeing. The view could have been a little nicer.

We have stayed at the Island cottage numerous times and have never been disappointed. We ran into some medical issues with my son this last trip and the Host could not have been more kind and helpful, they even offered to watch our pets while we went to the hospital. Love this place and the people. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We have rented many vrbo’s in the past and I have never been in a home that is so well equipped and welcoming. There is anything you could possibly want from snacks, spices, toothbrushes and on and on. Very dog friendly and wonderful for mobility issues. Unloading and loading the car was so easy since you park right at the front door. We recommend this vrbo highly and Tanya is a gem.

Tanya was a great host and the house is exactly as described. Brought my mom down for an early 77th birthday celebration and it was great for her because of no stairs. We can’t wait to come back.

This cottage was everything that was described and pictures showed in the listing. It was cozy and felt like a home away from home. Very clean! Nice decor and very well stocked. Close to everything. Tanya was a wonderful communicator. She got back to us within an acceptable timeframe and answered any questions we had and made great suggestions.

This place was perfect for my 88 yo father who cannot do stairs. Tanya’s very thoughtful touches made the stay exceptional. The beds are so comfortable. The sheets are high quality. Tanya has so many extras in the cottage you need to stay there and see them for yourself.

My 16 year old daughter and our dog stayed at this amazing cottage for three nights…we all wished we could have stayed longer. I have never rented a more well equipped house in my life! We had everything we needed and more. The cottage was clean and welcoming! We can’t wait to go back!

Best VRBO property I've ever rented. The owner has thought of absolutely every little thing you could need during your stay, including a well stocked kitchen. Super comfortable, bright, and spacious. Beautiful view of the sound. Quick access to the beach and everything you need. Excellent communication from the property manager, with many useful tips about the area and things to do. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at this property. It was VERY clean, had a beautiful view of the sound, and was in a great location. Close to everything you would need or want but still in a pretty quiet area. Tanya provided so many extras throughout the house, in case you forgot something. She really put a lot of thought into what her guests may need. We were very impressed. Would definitely stay here again.

This was such a great little escape, perfect for us and our dog! The property manager was very nice and gave us great recommendations for food and shops and was very quick to reply. The house was very clean with a cute basket of complementary snacks and waters. We could walk to a pizza place down the road and to a coffee shop, both were fantastic! We also pulled out some chairs and relaxed by the water which had a great view! Would definitely come back!

My family enjoyed our four days at the cottage very much. The house is extremely well stocked with many thoughtful details like mints, dog treats, and toiletries to replace any items you might have missed when packing. The bath tub is deep and was a big hit with my kids. There is even a bed for your pup! We were very delighted by the comfort and hospitality of the cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The first thing we noticed was the cleanliness!! The kitchen was well supplied and equipped for cooking. The beds were super comfortable. The cottage was perfect for my husband and myself. The location was great - away from the business of OBX, but still easy to get around! Loved the coffee shop/ice cream shop within walking distance. Tanya, was very responsive and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. I Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

This property is outstanding. Communications were always prompt. The cottage is extremely clean and well organized. The beds are very comfortable and we slept well. Most especially, Tanya thought of everything - provisions in case it rains, extra toothbrushes, extra blankets and linens, a pad of paper and that's just the beginning. Everything we needed was there and she was so helpful with suggestions for our trip. We highly recommend this property.

This cottage was comfortable, cozy, and pet friendly. The hospitality for both humans and pets was outstanding. It was well stocked and had everything you could ask for. Colington Rd is right in the middle of it all. You had Kitty Hawk to your left and Nags Head to your right plus short drives to everything else in the Outer Banks. There is a coffee/ice cream shop basically across the street. The host (Tanya) gave many suggestions and we tried many of them - all good! Very relaxing, laid back vacation that we enjoyed with our 2 dogs - beach & hiking everyday! Thank you Tanya for being a great host & an awesome cottage for our stay in KDH!

Our family recently stayed at OBX Island Cottage and it was an unforgettable experience for all of us, including our dogs! The property was not just pet-friendly but truly embraced the idea of making our furry family members feel at home. From the spacious accommodations that provided plenty of room for our 2 dogs to relax. The accomodations were comfortable for my family and the property is well equipped with all the things we needed. Tanya went above and beyond, offering thoughtful touches like dog bowls and treats. She quickly responded to all our questions. Our vacation was stress-free and very memorable. We were thrilled to discover that many of the local attractions , nearby beach and dining spots were dog-friendly too, allowing us to enjoy meals and activities as a whole family. This made our vacation so much more enjoyable and relaxing, knowing our dogs were welcome everywhere we went. Overall, this cottage provided the perfect setting for a family vacation where our dogs could be included in all the fun. We can’t wait to come back!
