Watch your favorite movies inside on a rainy day before slipping over to the Kitchen with modern amenities that are perfect for whipping some fresh, local seafood into a meal your family won't soon forget. Eat together in the high-top Dining Area with plenty of natural light filtering in through the tall windows, giving the space a light and airy feel while the recently updated high-top chairs offer you a spectacular view of the ocean while you eat! If eating outside is more your style, the Outdoor High-Top Table and Chairs create the ultimate outdoor dining experience as you enjoy a side of ocean breezes with your meal.

When you're ready to rest up for all your Outer Banks adventures, pull out the Sleeper Sofa in the Living Area or pass through the nook with a cozy Bunk Bed and Full Hallway Bathroom on the way to the King Master Bedroom. Once here, you can unwind in the spacious bedroom with a TV and enjoy the luxury of your own Private Bathroom. Hard surface flooring throughout the condo keeps dust at bay while cooling ceiling fans in the Living Area and Bedroom ensure a stream of cool breezes during your stay.

Hop on over to the nearby Beach Access when you're ready to enjoy some surf, sand, and sun! Easily cross onto the sand via the Trex-decking boardwalk and quick access just a few steps away. Greet the sunrise in the morning from an Oceanside Gazebo and grill up some fresh local seafood in the nearby Picnic Area with grills! Ready to get some exercise? Colony By the Sea also offers Tennis Courts for a fun game during your stay!

Sand, Sun, and Plenty of Fun
This fantastic rental couldn't possibly be in a better location. While getting to the ocean is a breeze, it's less than a mile to town! Stroll the Duck Town Park Boardwalk for some afternoon shopping or witness amazing sunsets over the Currituck Sound. Choose between several excellent dining options to appease every appetite. For dining out, enjoy a delicious meal with locally sourced seafood at the nearby Sunset Grille & Raw Bar, The Blue Point, Red Sky Cafe, and Coastal Cravings—just to name a few! Local shops like Candy & Corks, Outer Banks Olive Oil Company, and Gray's are a great way to spend a red-flag day. Enjoy the convenience of 2 neighborhood grocery stores, a fresh seafood store, and produce stands that offer locally grown fruits, vegetables, and other specialties. Another fun alternative would be to drive up to Corolla and climb the Currituck Beach Lighthouse or take a safari-style tour of the wild horses. When you book a stay at Delightful Diversion, you'll have sand, sun, and plenty of fun, no matter how you choose to spend your day!

We lucked out, finding this rental when making last minute reservations. The condo comfortably fit our family of 4. It was clean and well furnished, provided ocean views, had an outdoor pool, and was an easy walk to the beach as well as several dinning and shopping locations.

The condo unit was very nice! Really nice upgrades, nice colors, nice style, nice location. The unit itself was very clean, but the comforters and matching pillowcases should be washed after every visitor. They felt dirty and smelled terrible. Luckily we brought our own blankets. We really appreciated the clean linens and towels that were provided for free. The emails with the information regarding our stay and the area were very helpful, but it needs to include a note that the numbered parking spots are assigned and that the parking spot numbers correlate to the unit's number. We didn't realize this and parked in a spot closest to the steps. The woman staying in the unit that correlates to that parking spot yelled at us and called a towing company. Luckily we got her to cancel the towing company. We apologized to her and explained we weren't aware of that rule, but she continued to yell at us using profanity in front of our 5 year old child. This made for an unpleasant first day of our vacation. Other than that experience, we had a great time and loved the condo and would select the same condo again in the future.

the stools at the snack bar are very uncomfortable and the internet makes you sign even more than one time per day...stupid. The deck furniture is very nice. Bed was comfortable. Couch...ok

There aren’t a lot of condos in the Outer Banks. Our family of 3 didn’t need a large house, and we wanted an ocean view. This condo delivered. Only issue we had was needing a couple more towels since they only gave us 2 to start. They quickly delivered more towels even in terrible weather. The rest of the grounds need a little love, but it doesn’t get better than a beachfront location where you also have access to a pool and you can walk to town. Don’t forget the 3 flights of stairs!
