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.

Great Stay - Very Accommodating
Great stay! Very clean and accommodating. Neighborhood feel is great for a small family or a couple, without being too far from the mainstream places of OBX. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Our new yearly vacation home
My family and I loved this property. It’s in a very nice and private neighborhood. The host was very good at communicating with me and we had no problems with the house itself. It’s very cute! We will be coming back to Treehouse every year from now on!

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.

Great house
Small 2 bedroom 1 bath house but we had great time & it had everything you would need. We didn’t cook as we were in the area with our son who was looking for retirement house.

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!

Lovely home with the porch, trees, and birdsong I definitely needed: away from all bustle. The owner and a resident nearby helped me quickly out of a predicament. My gratitude to both.

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.
