Waterfront Canal Home in Colington Harbor | Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Dock, Canal Swimming and Boating and Community Pool & Private Beach

Escape to our waterfront canal home in beautiful Colington Harbor, where you can enjoy the best of the Outer Banks without fighting the beach crowds or heavy traffic. Located just 3 miles from the oceanfront, our home offers a relaxing coastal setting with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

This home is designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the water. Recent updates include an updated kitchen and a new fire pit added for 2026, perfect for evenings by the canal. The home also features a screened Florida-style lanai, giving your group a comfortable outdoor space to relax without the bugs sending you inside.

Guests love the waterfront lifestyle here. You can swim or float in the warm canal water, launch a kayak or paddle board with ease, and explore the nearby canals and sound. We provide easy water access steps, a floating dock, and space for your water fun right from the property. Bring your boat or WaveRunners too — we have a dock, lift, and Jet Ports, depending on the size of your watercraft.

The main level features a large deck overlooking what we proudly call Garber Harbor — the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply relaxing by the water.

The lower level is all about fun and convenience, with a hot tub room, TV, refrigerator, and our Jimmy Buffett-themed sports bar complete with 3 TVs and a sound system. There is also a full-size refrigerator downstairs, making it easy to store drinks, groceries, and supplies for a full week’s stay.

Inside and out, the home is loaded with amenities to help make your vacation easy and comfortable, including:

Hot tub
Fire Pit (added 2026)

TV and audio systems

Refrigerators on both levels
Private deck off the primary bedroom

You will also appreciate the convenience of nearby essentials. There is a convenience store close by for last-minute needs, plus a local seafood market on the same road where you can pick up fresh catch and even steamed blue crabs.

We have lived in and loved this home for 20 years, and we hope you will enjoy your stay here as much as our past guests have. We have tried to provide nearly everything you need for a fun, comfortable, and memorable Outer Banks vacation.

This place is awesome. Has absolutely everything you could want including a really well equipped pier with jet ski launch and boat lift. Colington is a lovely neighborhood for relaxing away from the crowds but still centrally located close to the beach and shopping. The owners were lovely to communicate with and very helpful. We will definitely be returning.

Great stay at Colington Harbor

Our family stayed for a week at Garber Harbor. We loved the canal/soundside location - it was a peaceful oasis away from the bustle of Kill Devil Hills. There was always a breeze and plenty of shady spots to sit outside. The downstairs tiki bar was great for evening socializing. We brought our paddleboards and enjoyed poking around the canals and the harbor. Scott met us at the house upon check in to show us around, and was responsive via text the whole week. We'd be happy to come here again!

Great vibes and fun for all

We stayed at Garber's Harbor and it was amazing. The property is beautiful and well kept and the amenities were great. Both the bar area and hot tub area downstairs have such a fun vibe. We went kayaking most evenings with the kayaks they provided AND it was so easy getting in and out with their floating launch. They have a great dock at the house and were very amenable to us bringing our boat down.The home itself is well stocked with cooking items and the grill worked like a dream too. The beds were comfortable and the house has an amazing media system set up.Best of all, our hosts were welcoming and helpful - both before hand and during our stay when we had a minor trailer issue. We would 100% recommend staying there!

Canal heaven!

After years of staying ocean front we decided to try something different and SO glad we did! This house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the beautiful decks to watch our family fish, swim and kayak. We really enjoyed the relaxing and serene landscape! We would definitely stay again in the future.
