Our Eco-Friendly Home

We believe that caring for our guests also means caring for our environment. Throughout our home, you'll find products and practices chosen to create a cleaner, healthier space while minimizing our impact on the planet.

Our Cleaning Philosophy

We clean using simple, effective ingredients such as Castile soap, vinegar, baking soda, and other environmentally friendly products whenever possible. These products help create a fresh, clean home without the heavy fragrances or harsh chemicals found in many conventional cleaners.

Allergy-Friendly Living

Many of the products we provide—including our laundry detergent and cleaning supplies—are unscented or low-fragrance and allergy-friendly. We hope this makes your stay more comfortable, especially for guests with allergies or sensitivities.

Reducing Waste

We're committed to reducing single-use plastics and unnecessary waste whenever possible. You'll notice reusable containers, refillable dispensers, and other sustainable alternatives throughout the home. Every small step helps reduce our environmental footprint.

While Colington Harbour does not offer curbside recycling pickup, we'd still love your help keeping recyclable materials out of the landfill. In the kitchen, you'll find two trash cans—one for household trash and one for recyclables.

If you recycle during your stay:

• Please rinse all recyclable containers before placing them in the recycling bin.

• Tie the recycling bag securely when it's full.

• Leave the tied recycling bag under the carport near the entrance when you check out, and we'll take it to a local recycling facility.

Our Mission

Protecting the beautiful Outer Banks and the natural environment we all enjoy is important to us. By choosing eco-friendly products and thoughtful practices, we hope to provide a comfortable, healthy home for our guests while helping preserve our coastal community for future generations.

Thank you for supporting our commitment to clean living and sustainable hospitality. We hope you enjoy your stay!

★General Rules

★ This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. While we absolutely encourage celebrations, relaxation, and making wonderful memories, this property is not suitable for parties or large gatherings of any kind.

Out of respect for our neighbors, quiet hours begin at 10 PM and are strictly enforced. Excessive noise, events, or disturbances will not be tolerated and may result in immediate cancellation of the reservation without refund.

We appreciate guests who value a peaceful environment and treat the home and neighborhood with care.

★A Note About the Interior Doors

The stairwell door leading to the ground level and the sliding glass door that opens to the top level elevator lock from the inside and do not have keys.

When you head out for the day, it’s best not to lock these interior doors. Instead, lock only the main exterior doors. You won’t get locked out of the home, but if you do lock them, you might find yourself taking a joy ride back down the elevator… only to realize you locked the stairs, too!

No worries - you’ll never be truly locked out, just a little extra exercised.

★ Trash & Recycling

Trash pickup: Roll the can to the road the night before scheduled town pickup. You will receive a reminder message the night prior. 

★ Showers & Bathrooms

Outdoor shower is available spring–fall only; it is winterized in the off-season.

★ Primary Bathroom Jet Tub:

Water must be above jets before turning on. Switch is next to the light switch (labeled).

Do not leave children unattended.

★Private Elevator

For your safety and convenience:

Elevator Phone is not operational — use a cell phone to call 911 in emergencies.

Both interior & exterior doors must be fully closed for elevator to operate.

Allow 3–4 seconds after pressing floor button for the elevator to move.

If lock doesn’t disengage, gently lift the small lever upward while opening.
