This cottage belonged to my grandmother, her name was Ruby.
It has been updated in 2023 with a completely new kitchen and bathroom, fresh paint and refinished hard wood and tile floors throughout.
The water for the cottage is a deep well and with well water there is sometimes a bit of an odor and there can be some color also. It's all completely normal for the area, the local water treatment company says the well water on this property has some of the most balanced pH and highest mineral count they've seen on the Outer Banks so we've decided to keep the well water for now.

Keeping it simple at this centrally located milepost 8 Outer Banks cottage.

Located off the beaten path in Colington in a very quiet neighborhood.

This cottage is very nearby the Blue Crab Tavern. You may hear some music and people having a good time over there . "The Crab" as we call it usually quiets down by 11pm, even on evenings when they have bands playing out back on the dock.
Wanna see a beautiful sunset or enjoy a cold beverage while sitting out on the dock? Walk on over and meet the owner Argie, this year is her 31st year in business!
