Waterfront Cottage With Coastal Charm
Imagine how relaxing it would be to wake up with the sparkling water right outside your window—this will be your reality when you book The Bright Side! Located in the coveted Colington Harbour community, this modern 3-bed 2-bath cottage sits right on the canal to offer visitors a private dock, expansive decks, and incredible waterfront living! Spend your days enjoying the awesome community amenities like an outdoor pool, large sound beach, and tennis courts or lounge out by the water at the Ocean Bay Boulevard beach access that is only a short 11-minute drive away with lifeguard, bath house, handicap-accessible ramp and paved parking!

The spacious driveway allows parking for 3 vehicles. The Bright Side offers a backyard oasis that will provide hours of entertainment for you and your four-legged companion! Inside, the game room's foosball table will surely gift hours of fun for the entire family as you put your favorite shows on the large, flat-screen TV and unwind on the cozy furniture. A shaded patio area is perfect for reading your favorite book while staying out of the sun, or if you prefer to lounge in an Adirondack and work on your tan by the water, a wooden walkway will take you to a lovely deck area right by the canal. Step out onto the dock to cast your line in the water or climb down the ladder to enjoy a leisurely swim. The manicured lawn allows plenty of space for your dog to play. Before stepping inside you can easily rinse off in the outdoor shower.

You'll immediately feel welcomed in the open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light that shines in through the windows positioned for southern sun exposure. Step out onto an expansive sun deck with gorgeous views of the canal while you sip your morning coffee or enjoy a cold drink on a warm afternoon. With comfortable furniture and plenty of coastal décor, the inviting living area is the perfect place to gather with the whole family and plan out your exciting itinerary every day. A gourmet kitchen provides plenty of storage and counter space while offering modern appliances and everything else you need to whip up a seafood masterpiece. Enjoy breakfast at the kitchen island bar with seating for 2 or sit down for a family meal in the adjoining dining area. Rest easy in a beautiful Master King Bedroom with TV, ceiling fan, a private balcony, and an attached full bath with a bubbly jacuzzi tub. You're guaranteed to get a great night's sleep in any one of the 3 large bedrooms, One room features a comfortable Queen bed and its own private balcony, while one of the others has plenty of sleeping space with 2 Double Beds. There is also a full-sized bathroom in the hall with a tub/shower combo. In the evenings, you'll love stepping out on the top-level sun deck to get a front-row seat to a famous Outer Banks sunset.

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 The Bright Side is a blast!
