You’ll also have access to a seasonal shared pool and tennis courts.

Sip crisp drinks from your furnished patio or elevated deck - both offer serene water views. The light and bright interior showcases wall-to-wall windows. Enjoy a coveted open layout with a sleek full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, subway tile, and a three-seat breakfast bar. Whip up favorite recipes and serve memorable meals at the dining table. Kick back and watch TV in one of two seating areas, or peruse a collection of board games and enjoy a family game night.

Our Stay At Scout's Cove
This was the perfect property for us. We LOVE the Colington area and this cottage is perfectly situated right on the water. It was the perfect size for us and our two dogs. It was nice to have a fenced yard to be able to not have to leash them up for potty breaks. The house is cozy and well-equipped. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Great property and community
The property was perfect for our trip. We were able to do some fishing in the sound. The neighborhood has a great community location to fish. It also has a dog park and a nice outdoor area with a playground and picnic tables. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. It is close to Nags Head and Manteo. The house was very nice. We loved the layout and the deck on the sound. The internet was not working but they provided a hot spot which worked most of the time. It only went out once and came back up within a few minutes,

Vacation July 24-31
Booking our stay was very easy and communication before check in was great. The day of check in was very smooth with a keyless entry and code was sent a day prior with no issues. When we arrived at property the yard was not mowed and was not mowed till the day before departure. Inside the home there were only one item to last a whole week (laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, paper towel roll and one trash bag) this was for an entire week of stay. The bedrooms did not have anywhere to place luggage items and no counter space in the bathrooms which was a hassle to find things. I know this residence is pet friendly but there was dog hair along the floors, beds, couch, and baseboards. The chairs and couch in home are broken and can feel springs when you sit down. The beds are very uncomfortable and there were no extra blankets or sheets if needed. The bathrooms did provide some toilet paper, and towels for whole week stay but only 2 washcloths. Residence is located in a gated neighborhood which was nice, neighbors were very friendly during our stay but if you wanted to enjoy dining and shopping the residence is a good 15-20 minutes from things.

Perfect getaway!
We love the OBX! This was our first stay on Colington Island and it’s a great house and location. Fishing and swimming in the backyard kept us busy when at the house and location was good to hit our OBX favorites. House was clean and had everything we needed.

July 4th week
At first sight the full trash can was knocked over in the yard and the grass was about knee high all week. The grass was cut the 6th and last night we were there. The hand rails going up the steps are a vinyl cover and they are not secure. That was almost really bad. The dishwasher was severely overloaded and left full. That should have been emptied before we arrived. Of course most of the dishes were still dirty so 15 mins into vacation I had to clean/work. There were no blankets on the beds but sheets were provided. A few things were broken from previous guest that should have been thrown away or fixed and just left. Wi-Fi never worked for us. Some of the outdoor furniture advertised in the listing isn’t there but there is still plenty. The dock is brand new and has a nice swim ladder. The property is located at the end of a cove so not a lot of boat traffic to worry about. Loved then fenced in yard and the dog friendly house in this community. Overall the house was decent but maybe post a trash pick up schedule for the renters in the house and definitely need help cleaning up. I HATE to complain but I also didn’t want to work as soon as I walked into my vacation house.

The ENTIRE reason for booking this house was fishing!!!!!!!! We had to wash and put away someone elses dishes!!!!!!! It was not clean and neighbor is a real KAREN. Don't book here!

Refreshing Short 3 Day Vacation
Loved the property. It was a great place for a short three day break from reality. Yucky weather but the location made it a peaceful get away. We will def use this service for our next trip. The process was easy from beginning to end. It was mindless for my busy schedule. Thank you

Great stay, cute house
We enjoyed our stay. The house was relatively clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The dock was unusable but that was communicated to us prior to our arrival. The only issues we encountered were there wasn’t a lot of clothing storage (one bedroom had a closet but no dresser and the other bedroom had a dresser but no closet) and we really wished there were blinds/ window coverings. The neighbors new homes are very close (not pictured in the listing) and we felt like we were on display. Taking all of that into consideration, we would still stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect for our boys
Great family stay with our dogs and boys ages 17 & 19. Our boys were all about the fishing and the outdoors. The place is nice, not luxurious, but was overall the perfect place for what we were interested in doing. Bring your own kitchen items including napkins, trash bags, plastic food containers etc. Our only real complaint was the grass hadn't been mowed. My only recommendation would be a low dock for the dogs to swim. We enjoyed it a lot.

Great, quiet stay
The cutest little house in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for a relaxing stay. The house was very dog friendly with the fenced in yard. The only thing I would change is to put more blinds up. The house has gorgeous views but no blinds or drapes for privacy in the common areas.
