You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ruby's OBX Retreat is only 1 mile from the beach and has a beautiful sound view

This cottage is located off of Colington Road and is only 1 MILE FROM THE BEACH (that's a quick 4 minute drive).

You will be welcomed to this very clean and cozy, fully stocked and full of character cottage with a beautiful WATER VIEW OF THE KITTY HAWK BAY. The cottage is directly across the street from the sound and has a great view of the water.

The cottage is single level with only 3 steps to entry. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a king size bed and bedroom 2 has a queen size bed, both with brand new 2023 Zinus 14 hybrid mattresses with medium firmness, each bed has a 2 inch memory foam topper as well.
There is a queen size futon in the den and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room.

Linens and bath towels/wash cloths are provided for your stay.

The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need to prepare your evening meal after a day at the beach. Dining area comfortably seats 6.

There is a laundry room with washer and dryer, they are available for guest's use.

The outdoor shower welcomes you after a trip to the beach or for a shower under the stars.

This cozy little Outer Banks cottage is only 1 mile from the nearest beach access with a very nice bath house offering showers and bathrooms. It is also handicapped accessible.

Just across the street from that bath house is Stop N Shop a known spot for a deli sandwich as well as convenience store items, OBX gifts, beach gear and fishing tackle. Very convenient to pick up everything you'll need for a great day at the beach.

Just down the road from the cottage, one each way is the Saltbox Cafe to the left and the Colington Cafe to the right, two well known favorite restaurants of the area.

You will have everything you need for an excellent stay here on the Outer Banks!


This cottage belonged to my grandmother, her name was Ruby.
It has been updated in 2023 with a completely new kitchen and bathroom, fresh paint and refinished hard wood and tile floors throughout.
The water for the cottage is a deep well and with well water there is sometimes a bit of an odor and there can be some color also. It's all completely normal for the area, the local water treatment company says the well water on this property has some of the most balanced pH and highest mineral count they've seen on the Outer Banks so we've decided to keep the well water for now.

Keeping it simple at this centrally located milepost 8 Outer Banks cottage.

Located off the beaten path in Colington in a very quiet neighborhood.

This cottage is very nearby the Blue Crab Tavern. You may hear some music and people having a good time over there . "The Crab" as we call it usually quiets down by 11pm, even on evenings when they have bands playing out back on the dock.
Wanna see a beautiful sunset or enjoy a cold beverage while sitting out on the dock? Walk on over and meet the owner Argie, this year is her 31st year in business!

Clean comfortable home
This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and this single-family house better suited us than a busy condo. It is about 1.5 miles from a nice beach and is appointed with everything we needed, including chairs for the beach. The road where it is located is a pretty busy artery for the area which is good for access but noisier than a side street. We were pleased with the house and Tanya is great to work with.

Perfect Property and Very Accommodative Host
It has an ideal location, quiet at night, and only 3 min drive to beach access parking. Host privides a lot of different things such as beach towels and chairs that make the experience that much easier.

Great location, very responsive owner!
First, let me start by saying Tanya was the best. She answered every question within maybe 10 minutes, she has things in that cottage to cover almost every inconvenience, and it’s very well maintained, and CLEAN. We were on the water, in the heat of the south and not one bug, which is ALWAYS a possibilty in a southern location. The dryer broke during our stay, and they literally had one sitting on the sidewalk by 9:00 the next day waiting to come in as we were packing! Sincerely, she’s the best. We definitely will stay here if we come this way again! Thank you Tanya!
