Savor painless and direct access to the calm waters of the canal that lies along the edge of the property.

Choose from the Queen Master Bedroom, an additional Queen Bedroom, or the Bedroom with a Double Bed, giving everybody plenty of space to relax and savor the tranquility and peaceful 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 Conveniences 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 amazing waterfront experience.

Quiet Community With Ample Attractions
Colington Harbor is a handsome, secluded island community offering spectacular vistas and ample opportunity for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and an array of other watersports! Located about 15 mins. back from the main bypass, you are never far from something fun to discover 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.

Finding the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

When to visit Kill Devil Hills & When to reserve a Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your family's Kill Devil Hills trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 5531 The Bird House * Waterfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
