Treehouse OBX. Cozy cottage in family/pet-friendly neighborhood. Close to sound.

Launch your own kayak or canoe just a block away at Kitty Hawk Bay or just stroll over with your cup of coffee to welcome the new day...and walk the dog. Launch your sail or motor boat at the Colington Harbour Boat Ramp. The community pool and tennis courts are just a short drive w/in the Colington Harbour community or a nice walk if you're up for some exercise. Greet the new day on the covered front porch of Treehouse OBX and watch the neighbors getting their day started or, if an animal lover, the birds and squirrels can sometimes put on a show for you.
Live-oak trees shade this cozy two bedroom (double/twin), one bath cottage...with an additional outdoor shower. You MUST try the outdoor shower under the stars...its exhilarating!!! Central AC/H, dishwasher, 2 flatscreen TVs, high-speed internet, phone, under-porch conversation area, all necessary small appliances, gas grill round out the amenities. Newly painted (outside) and new flooring in 2014.
Great restaurants down the road, convenience store and fish market within biking distance if you choose.
Two bikes available. If venturing off Colington Island, you are close to area attractions such as Wright Brothers Memorial, fishing piers, cinemas, shopping centers, & amusements. Public ocean beach access with showers and dressing rooms at end of Colington Rd ( approx. 4 miles). Many other area attractions...lighthouses to climb, Lost Colony Outdoor Drama in historic downtown Manteo, off-shore/inshore fishing. Take a day trip to Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, and try to spot a wild horse in Corolla.
This Friday to Friday rental is located in a quiet, family-friendly year-round residential neighborhood. You will be removed from the hustle and bustle of seasonal high traffic and mayhem! Owner lived in this home for 13 years and still considers this area of the Outer Banks most unique.
Owner has membership at the Colington Clubhouse which allows guests to use pool and tennis courts. Join other visitors and residents at the pool or the soundside beach for swimming and/or picnic-ing. Guests arriving earlier than 4pm check-in time can cool off and begin their vacation at the pool.

Location is great. Property was great. Use the local beach was great. Our dogs loved it.

We had a great time. The property was perfect. We were doing things locally and didn’t get to use all of the amenities. But I would recommend this is a great place to stay for us and our dogs.

Beautiful property perfect for family

We had a wonderful time here. The porch is lovely and the outdoor shower was one of our favorite parts of this property. Nearby are a nice small beach and very nice pool where everyone was extremely welcoming. We had our dog with us and she loved walks/runs around the property, the little park nearby where dogs are permitted, and the porch. Local restaurants like Higher Grounds and Colington Cafe are lovely. The owner was very accommodating and responsive.

Quiet and Comfy Cozy Treehouse

This is a lovely property in a very nice gated community. Close to the bay and not far from the Atlantic beach. Clean, comfortable, with all necessities. Screened in lounge/patio area as well as front porch with comfortable seating. Cute and beachy themed. We enjoyed our stay.

I Love Treehouse OBX

What a wonderful location. The little beach that is about 100 yards away is a perfect oasis. Had it all to ourselves and a few pups who came to say hello. House was such a quaint little place hidden away in the trees and the outdoor shower was pure bliss. Betsy is such a wonderful hostess and more than a little accommodating. Be sure to eat at Colington Cafe, awesome service and fantastic food.

Tree House in OBX

We only stayed two nights but this was a nice property on the sound side of OBX. It is nice to have a place to stay other than a crowded hotel or an expensive rental house. It was priced well and off the beaten path. We did not use the pool so I cannot comment on that. After enjoying the days with our adult children in town it was calm and quiet in the evening away from the hustle and bustle! Thanks for having us!

Sweet Retreat in Colington Harbor

Stayed here with my 2 dogs and absolutely loved the amenities, especially the enclosed front deck....the house was clean and neat and provided everything we needed....Betsy was very communicative and prompt through the rental process and even texted to see if we arrived safely and needed anything....the neighborhood was safe and enjoyable to walk my dogs...for a short walk or drive there's a sandy place by the sound where you can enjoy the water and watch the boats along the harbor....I would definitely stay here again!

Great stay at the treehouse

This was our first time at OBX sound-side and the location has a lot of advantages. The Treehouse neighborhood is very quiet and great for walking a dog. In fact there's a dog park right on the sound within walking distance that we took advantage of. The upper deck is as advertised - private and nestled in shady trees. We definitely look forward to a return visit someday.

Hidden gem - charming, clean, and cozy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Treehouse OBX. The property owner was very helpful and clearly communicated the check-in procedure and detailed information about the area well in advance of our stay. The neighborhood is very calm, with a pool, playground, and two small beaches within walking distance and the bigger public beaches just a short drive away. The house itself was super clean and very comfortable. Everything was in good shape and well taken care of. We had a great time here!
