Do you want the excitement of the Outer Banks Beaches of North Carolina without the crowds and hassle?  Do you want to enjoy the luxury of a true Executive Home for your vacation?  Consider Boatswains Retreat as an alternative to an Outer Banks hotel room for the additional comfort and overall value!

Nestled in the privacy of Colington Harbour, this gated community offers privacy and luxury for the entire family.  The private deep-water dock with shore power and fresh city water makes this any fisherman’s paradise.  From the dock you can be offshore in 40 minutes through Oregon Inlet.  The Outer Banks offers the best year round fishing, water sports and beaches available anywhere in the northeastern USA. 

With WiFi internet access you can keep up with the office via wireless laptop while watching the kids jump off the dock or catch crabs.  The hot tub is in full view of the waterfront for starlit evenings of relaxing enjoyment.  Wake up to the breathtaking views from the master suite each morning of your stay.

Your family will have all the amenities of home plus waterfront luxury.  The large community pool will offer an outing for the kids without leaving the gated community.  Or stay home and enjoy cooking steaks on the outdoor gas grill by the water.  The wrap around back deck also has room in the sun or shade for just relaxing.  You are only minutes from the world famous Nags Head Beach, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Oregon Inlet and shopping in Manteo and Wanchese.

This newly renovated hideaway has a romantic atmosphere created by a Gas/Remote/Stone Fireplace, custom handmade furniture in the bedrooms and dining areas.  We have overstuffed couches in the living room with surround sound, large screen TV with DVD/CD changer that is overlooked by the built-in wet bar.  There are two privacy porches with ceiling fans off the living room and master bedroom suite.  The kitchen has all the most modern conveniences with a tastefully done décor and cabinetry of a custom home.  With three bedrooms and three baths everyone has their own privacy.

If the weather doesn’t agree with your outdoor plans there are individual TV/DVD’s in all the rooms with a DVD player in the living room and a VCR in the master bedroom.

Two central heating and air units and completely re-wired during renovation means this house is as safe as it is comfortable. 

Many vacation rentals are bare walls and just the basics.  The owners of this Outer Banks gem have spared no expense to make your stay a memorable experience.  You will feel like you are staying in a fine luxury home with all the accoutrements.  The owners have appointed this home as their own, not just a rental.  You will see the difference as you come back year after year.
