MY HUBBY LOVES UR HOUSE!

We had a wonderful time at your house. It was perfect for us! Our only complaint would be that at higher traffic times it was hard to get turned around but it really wasn't a huge issue. We did take our camp fence to keep our dogs from going toward the street. But i wasn't worried about them since they are yard trained. (We have a large unfenced yard at home). Thank you for the lovley week at Rainbows after Rain! We hope to be back next year!

Family vacation

Wonderful time at this vacation home. Clean and spacious. Comfortable beds. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. I wish the fire pit worked so we could enjoy the chilly nights by the fire but overall our stay was enjoyable.

My brother and I recently stayed at "Rainbows after Rain", a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental house in Outer Banks, NC. The house was perfect for our two-person trip, plus our dog. It was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to grocery stores and other amenities, and the deck was a great place to relax and enjoy the views. We would definitely recommend this rental house to anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable place to stay in Outer Banks. Pros: * Perfect location * Clean and well-maintained * Spacious and comfortable * Fully equipped kitchen * Large deck with views of the bay * Two kayaks and a dock - perfect to explore the bay * Large grill * Fire pit in the backyard Notes: * 10-minute drive to the ocean front * (For dog owners) No fence around the house or backyard Overall: We had a wonderful time staying at "Rainbows after Rain" and would definitely be back and recommend it to others.

Great place for relaxing getaway

Perfect for our family with two teens... spacious, clean and welcoming! Loved the deck and grill. Exactly as described. Not close to the ocean but the canal spot was peaceful.

Great Location, Even Better Hosts!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holiday. Waterfront canal location, furnishings, kitchen, everything we needed. Dana and Cohost were beyond helpful with our many questions ahead of our trip, and made us feel like welcomed guests, responding immediately, and even kept us informed with pictures and road conditions during the big winter storm! Definitely coming back…

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, Dana here! I am a Sales Director in the Northern, VA area, and my husband is a firefighter. When we have the chance we love to escape to OBX with our two daugthers to enjoy the views and the hospitality. When we aren't here, we want others to enjoy it! If there is anything we, or our local cohost Elizabeth, can do to make your stay more special, please let us know. Thanks!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because we love the water views, and we love the friendly atomosphere that Colington offers. Our girls love the community pool, too!

What makes this property unique

Access to the private beach and pool at the Yacht club, dropping kayaks right off of the dock in the backyard, and a peaceful single family home experience!
