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 Sunset Kove is a blast!

Outerbanks vacation

The property was just right for our family. We all enjoyed the area and the centrality of Colington Harbor in the Outerbanks. We cooked a lot and found that the kitchen was fully equipped. We were able to dock our small boat behind the house. The weather, however, did not cooperate, and we didn’t get to enjoy either the boat or the beach as much as we wanted. Fortunately, there are lots of other activities in the area. If we come back to the outerbanks, I would definitely consider renting house.

Overall the house was fine. The outdoor shower was nice, the keypad for entry was easy to use and there are several kitchen items for use. However, there was so much kitchen items that there really was no room for us to put our food/pantry items — no cabinet or pantry space. The mattress protectors on the bed were also stained on several of the beds which is really frustrating because the check in items specifically say you are not supposed to remove the mattress protectors. They really need to be changed out.
