5531 The Bird House * Waterfront
A Waterfront Location that Boasts Incredible Views
Whether you're a water sports enthusiast or you simply want to kick back and relax with a stunning view, a stay at The Bird House will offer everything you're searching for and so much more! Located within the gated sound side community of Colington Harbour, this beautifully decorated 3-bedroom vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills promises to provide exactly what you need to make your upcoming Outer Banks vacation the best one yet. Thanks to its amazing waterfront location along one of the many canals that wind their way through this coveted community, The Bird House is the perfect vacation rental home for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy easy and direct access to the calm waters of the canal that lies along the edge of the property. Here you can hop on your kayak or standup paddleboard and head out for a soothing excursion along the canal—or make the journey to the place where the canal flows out into the Roanoke Sound for a more adventurous excursion on the water.
On the Main Level of this home, step inside and enjoy a relaxing waterfront afternoon in the spacious Living Area with cozy furniture and a Flat Screen TV for easy movie nights or entertainment on a rainy day. Pop on over to the Kitchen where you can make a delicious meal of fresh, local seafood for your whole family to enjoy at the nearby open-concept Dining Area or the convenient Breakfast Bar in the center of the Kitchen. Pass by the Laundry Closet with a Washer and Dryer on your way back to the back where you'll find three bedrooms ideal for getting some rest before enjoying another day of exciting Outer Banks adventures and outdoor exploration. Choose from the Queen Master Bedroom, an additional Queen Bedroom, or the Bedroom with a Double Bed, giving everyone plenty of space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of life on the canal.
Step out onto the Canalfront deck with your morning cup of coffee for a brilliant sunrise over the waterfront and plenty of birdwatching before taking your boat out onto into the canal for fun times and excursions like fishing or general exploring. Be sure to take advantage of the Colington Harbour Community Amenities with a sound access, a playground for the kids, a sheltered picnic area, a basketball court, and a boat launch if you'd rather go straight out onto the sound! Once you've spent the week out on the water while staying at The Bird House, you'll want to keep coming back year after year for this incredible waterfront experience.
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 is a blast!
Beach Access: Ocean Bay Blvd - 4.2 miles/10-minute drive with handicap parking, handicap ramp, wooden walkway, bathhouse, lifeguard, and showers.
