SWEET WATER SUITE! Couples / Single Adventurers / Pet Friendly

RELAX AND RECHARGE AT “SWEET WATER SUITE!" This shabby chic studio apartment is huge, bright, spacious, very private and located inside this beautiful home! This lovely unit is set up similar to a duplex apartment with the studio apartment as one of the two units located inside the building.

This premier Outer Banks Vacation Rental is centrally located in the heart of OBX. This cozy unit is located on the second level, on the harbor side of the building, has wonderful canal front views, and is perfect for both couples and single adventurers! Pet Friendly as well. The development it is located in is "Colington Harbor" a resort boating community that has everything. There is a sound side beach with awesome sunsets, boat launch (may be small charge). Enjoy mornings at the ocean and afternoons on our bayside beach. This summers Yacht Club Schedule is showing Wednesday sails at 6:00pm, other events take place on various days. Colington community sound side beach is a great place to chill almost any time! Groups of party boats can frequently be seen anchoring just off shore. We have found Saturdays between 5:00 and 7:00 to be a great time to enjoy watching some of the neighborhood’s beautiful sailing vessels as the go in and out. Stay just a little while longer and catch one of our beautiful sunsets before returning home for the evening!

Our shabby chic suite, contains a wonderfully comfortable king sized bed with great linens and six standard pillows, an entertainment center with small flat screen T.V., a cute kitchenette equipped with everything you might need, cozy dining area, and plush living area in the same room. In addition, it has a huge luxurious bathroom and two walk in closets. The suite entrance leads directly to a rather large deck, which is divided in half by two large privacy planters. This allows our guests to have a cozy outdoor area complete with your own chase lounge chairs, dining set, and a gas grill. The grounds are a shared space. In the yard there is a fire pit guests are welcome to use (please supply your own wood). There is also an outside shower located next to the lower deck for returns from the beach. In addition the home features a recreation closet in the front for our guest which includes two beach chairs, an umbrella as well as a small cooler.

Answers to the most commonly asked questions?

1. Will I have the place to myself, where are you located?

We the owners/caretakers live in an apartment directly next door. The owners unit contains a large living room, which is located directly next to your apartment, which the owners use only to access the rest of their home. This helps serve as a sound buffer between the two units. If you are the type of person who enjoys a great B&B. and don’t mind the possibility of running into an occasional friendly face, you will appreciate this living arrangement. There is no breakfast included, but there is a little more privacy.

2. I am not sure about your pet policy . . . is it ok . . .?

We allow up to two, well-behaved dogs, with responsible pet owners for a fee of $75.00. Pet owners are of course responsible for any and all damage incurred by your dog. Please do not bring a puppy or dog that may chew or scratch on things . . . remember if they damage something . . . it will be replaced at your expense. Dogs are not to be left unaccompanied on the deck or on the grounds. Be advised, certain breeds, may jump in after a duck or something, and the property does not have a ramp for you to get them out safely.

3) May I dock my boat at your home? No, for liability reasons we do not allow boats to dock at our home. The home does feature a brand new bulk head and dock.

4) What is a studio apartment? - A studio apartment, also known as a studio flat, a self-contained apartment, efficiency apartment, bed-sitter or bachelor apartment, is a small apartment in which the normal functions of a number of rooms – often the living room, bedroom, and kitchen – are combined into a single room.

5)Insurance - We highly recommend vacation insurance to every guest, it is affordable and gives you peace of mind should cancelation be necessary.

Hopefully this answers all your questions about “Sweet Water Suites”, and you are excited at the prospect of renting this property!

delightful suite, stunning waterside location, generous hosts
Our week at this suite in Collington Harbour was delightful. Both the inside and the huge outside terrace are gorgeous. The perfect place for either relaxing or doing lots of swimming from home or taking interesting trips along the coast.

Paradise at the OBX
The location was central to anything and everything at the OBX. The room was very spacious, the bathroom was more like a bathhouse and you had a deck view of the harbor. Our stay was a 10. Makes me want to live at the OBX.

Great place to stay, good activities
If you want to get off the beaten path while on the OBX and enjoy some fun activities, this is a great place. This place has a beautiful room with all you would need, access to grill out, a small kitchen, incredible bathroom, as well as fun activities such as biking or kayaking in the canals. I loved taking my daughter and her friend there. They had a blast enjoying all parts of it.

Quiet and close
The property was close to every thing but was still quiet. It was in a residential area but still just a short drive to everything we wanted to do. The place was clean. The community pool was just a short drive away and was very nice. There is a park adjacent to the pool which was great for watching the sunset.

Peaceful retreat
Leslie & Ed offer a very spacious, very clean suite. They include nice touches that make it more like a B&B than a normal rental. And they are very welcoming to dogs as well which is a huge plus for us. The mattress is very firm and the sofa is quite comfortable.

Good location, as pictured, very spacious , nice bathroom, pet friendly and if traveling with a pet I can also recommend the Colington cafe which has some outdoor seating and great food-you will need resrvations. It is on Colington and on the way in/out from 158 the main road.

Peaceful Getaway.
From the moment we arrived we noticed all the little touches the host provides. From fresh cut flowers on the table and the room’s inviting aroma to the bottle of wine and treats for our fur baby, we immediately felt at home. Plenty of space to stretch out and private deck to enjoy the view, we enjoyed relaxing there as much as at the beach. It was a perfect romantic getaway location.

Beautiful Suite on a quiet street
We had a very relaxing week. The suite was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beach crowd and was very quiet. Ed and Leslie were most helpful with suggestions of what to do.
