Never let the water out of sight at this beautifully renovated waterfront home - all that stands between you and your private boat dock is a sliding glass door! Spend sunny days swimming, crabbing, or launching kayaks and paddleboards off the pier. Bring your boat or rent one and explore the Outer Banks and miles of uninhabited beaches. You’ll also have access to a seasonal community 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. An outdoor shower and washer/dryer add convenience during your stay.

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,

Comfortable, but lacking amenities
The home was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. If we come back, we’ll need to remember to bring hand soap, sponges, and trash bags. We were disappointed in the lack of amenities, but we only stayed the weekend so it was a minor inconvenience. The dogs loved the backyard and the kayaks were great. A couple cute cafe options nearby. I’d recommend this location for sure.

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 place, beautiful view.
We enjoyed our stay and I loved sitting on the boat dock in the afternoon. My only complaint is there are no curtains or blinds in windows facing the neighbors. There is new construction on one side and no curtain or blind covering the bathroom window.

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 updates made the house a home!
The nice updates especially floors for the dog. She felt at home right away. Only needed more lighting going up the steps and at the dock. Looks like you were working on decorative lighting. Only a few cob webs in house. Love the new lighting inside. Niice! We felt very much at home!

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!

7am mowers and blowers in our yard in a community with quiet hours NOT enforced. Inspector knocking on door because dock was unusable/disrepair so estimate was needed!!!! 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!

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.

Good location, clean, excellent dock
Stayed for two weeks for boating, fishing and relaxing. The big selling point was the dock for our boat and it didn’t disappoint. It was sturdy and accommodated our 28’ boat through the remnants of a hurricane with no problem at all. It is at the end of a canal so there isn’t much wind, rain or tide to deal with which is nice. The house itself is first and foremost clean. It’s not the newest or the fanciest place you can rent but it’s comfortable and has everything you could need. I have no real complaints. I’ll just point out a few things. The Collington community is at the end of a 5 mile winding two lane road from 12. This itself is no big deal…unless there is construction (which there was). We had a few long waits getting in and out but no big deal. The house itself looks like a work in progress. Everything is there, just some of it needs finished (trim needs painted, pantry door needs hung, just little details. Again, no big deal. If you are looking for the holy grail of rentals (dock and pets) this is the place.

Summer Vacation July 24-31,2022
House is in a great & quiet location and pretty clean. Upon arrival, kitchen faucet leaking which we contacted Vacasa, and it was fixed quickly. Grass had not been cut for weeks so our dogs did not want to spend anytime outside, after contacting Vacasa someone came and cut the grass the next day. Dishwasher did not work; dryer took hours to dry a load of wash. There are NO CURTAINS so if you want to get up at the crack of dawn with the sun and have no privacy then you are in luck with this house. The chairs on the dock were broken and splintery, the ladder into the water was slimy and there is a huge wooden footer at the top of the ladder which makes it very hard to get up and down it when getting in and out of the water. The backyard was a disaster and it looked like they had a homeless person living in the basement access which was a little creepy. The picnic table was broken and unusable, and the grill was nasty. Trim around the attic access panel that is over the sofa, full of nails, fell off and almost the person sitting under it. This house has potential if it was just kept up on and had curtains installed. An easier way to get in and out of the water would be great, my dog wanted to go swimming so bad, but we had no way to get him out of the water if he jumped in. Oh, and there is no closet in one of the rooms, just a dresser. Then the other room has a closet, but no dresser. There are also no doors on the pantry?! We contacted Vacasa on these issues the day we left, I refused to give up part of my vacation waiting around for workers to come and look at these items since we brought our dogs, I did not want anyone entering the home if we here not there, since the first day they came to fix the kitchen faucet they came unannounced. We still have not received a response other than they are very sorry... I feel bad if the homeowners do not know how run down the house is getting, if this is all Vacasa's responsibility to keep the house up then they fall very short!

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.

Home great; service not so much.
The fenced yard for dogs was fantastic! Open the door and let him out. The waterfront deck was also very relaxing. So much better than a hotel or even a condo with dozens of other people around and no private outdoor space.

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.
