About this house rental
Welcome to Sound Waves, a beautifully decorated canal-front retreat tucked inside the gated community of Colington Harbor. Ideal for boaters and guests craving a quieter side of the Outer Banks, this home offers peaceful waterfront living just a short drive from the beach. Inside, enjoy a spacious great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace (seasonally), and stunning sound views that spill out onto your private deck, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
Your vacation truly begins outdoors. Set on the canal with easy access to the Albemarle and Roanoke Sounds, this home is a dream for water lovers. Bring your boat, launch a kayak, paddleboard, or jet ski, or try your luck at some of the best crabbing the Outer Banks has to offer, you may even catch dinner right from the backyard. A small waterfront deck makes enjoying the view effortless, and a fenced dog run ensures your four-legged family member feels right at home too.
Experience the laid-back island lifestyle the locals love. The homeowner has thoughtfully stocked Sound Waves with amenities designed for fun, relaxation, and memorable evenings together, including access to the community pool (**), sound-side beach area, marina, kayaks, fishing gear, cornhole boards, hammocks, a tiki bar area, propane fire pit, yard bowling, and multiple outdoor seating spaces. Inside, enjoy Roku TVs throughout, Wii stations, and even a seafood boil burner and pot for classic Outer Banks feasts.
Colington Harbor is a family-friendly waterfront community offering a saltwater pool (**), tennis courts, a sound-front sandy beach, and a large park. Guests may also use the community boat launch (fee) for easy days on Kitty Hawk Bay spent fishing, water-skiing, or simply soaking up the sun.

Enjoyed our stay. Gated community is great and the pool with sound side beach/play area was very nice. Nice friendly neighbor. Only complaint I had was the height of the grass.

We loved our stay at Sound Waves! It was perfect for our multi-generational family getaway. There was plenty of space (and sleeping accommodations) for us all to gather in one house and enjoy our time together. The house was set-up with plenty of extras to make us feel comfortable—from the stocked board game cabinet and Wii system, to the outdoor games and water activities, to the kitchen supplies that allowed us to cook meals together, to the baby gate that made it easy to keep our toddler safe. We also appreciated having a vacuum cleaner on-site for us to clean-up those unavoidable toddler messes :-) The location was perfect for us! It was a quick trip into town for all of the major attractions and shopping. However, the private sound-side beach made it possible for us to easily enjoy beach time at a moment’s notice. This was particularly helpful to us since we, unfortunately, ended up having a lot of stormy weather for the week of our stay. The ocean-side beaches had dangerous riptide warnings for much of the week, and it was hard to predict when the storms would break and sunshine would peek through. Being at Sound Waves meant that we had plenty of indoor entertainment together, as well as covered, weatherproof outdoor spaces. Then, when the weather would break, we could easily grab our supplies and head over to the Colington sound-side beach. We were able to spend time at the water swimming and building sandcastles every day of our vacation. I honestly don’t think that would have been the case if we’d stayed somewhere else. We all enjoyed our trip immensely!

Lovely little house by the water, perfect to jump in one of the kayaks provided and head out for a bit of fun, a spot of fishing, of catching the sunset.
