Peaceful. Mesmerizing view. Listen to nature's quiet. Lounge on the deck with a good book while watching the ospreys feed their young. Enjoy a meal as boats, kayaks and jet skis pass by. Camelot By The Bay is located on Colington Island, away from the crush of the beach traffic and crowds but within a short drive of the many fun and interesting sights and activities offered by the Outer Banks. A member of the vacation neighborhood of Colington Harbour, Camelot By The Bay provides its guests with many community amenities including a swimming pool with clubhouse, a private marina, tennis and basketball courts, and a private sound-side beach with a shaded playground, picnic tables and bathrooms--perfect for little ones who are not up to the challenge of the ocean waves and undertows. Camelot By The Bay has a private dock on a canal which leads into Blount Bay (known for it's shoreline crabbing) and Kitty Hawk Bay (great for kayaking, water-skiing, jet-skiing and windsurfing) and into the Albermarle Sound (for fishing, boating and sailing). Many guests of Camelot By The Bay enjoy biking to the Wright Brothers Memorial or taking a morning walk to the end of the island where the pool, marina and sound-side beach are located. Children, young and old alike, love crabbing from the private dock in our fenced backyard as the burgers are cooking on the grill. Launch your boat from the marina and have it at the ready during your visit, tied to our private dock--enjoy early morning fishing or afternoon water-skiing without the daily put-in and take-out from a public launch. Our screened porch keeps the bugs at bay while you sip on a cooling drink, enjoying the company of family and friends. And let us not forget the hot-tub: private, relaxing and just what the doctor ordered at the end of the day after using muscles you didn't know you still had. Since Camelot By The Bay is on a lock-box system, guests may check-in at their leisure any time after four in the afternoon. The Outer Banks has something to offer our guests year-round. We invite you to visit Camelot By The Bay during the less-crowded time of the off-season when flexible bookings of three nights or more are available. It's a wonderful opportunity to tour the NC Aquarium, the Wright Memorial Museums, or go shopping at the Tanger Outlet Center without the crowds of the summer months. Spring is a wonderful time to fly a kite on Jockey's Ridge and bird watch along the Pea Island Trail when the sun is not as hot and there are fewer bugs. The fish are biting year-round and the beach awaits your footprints. Whether you are running a marathon, showing-off your Harley or Christmas shopping with the girls, Camelot By The Bay welcomes you home at the end of your adventures. Relax in the hot-tub; ease the muscles that had so much fun during the day. Bring your boat, kayak and sunblock to our home away from home. Camelot By The Bay awaits your arrival.

Why the Owner Chose Kill Devil Hills
Having our own private dock makes boating a daily pleasure. We simply launch from the community marina and tie up in our backyard! The community pool and soundside beach provide safer swimming for young ones who want to splash away the summer heat--no getting knocked over by the waves here!
The Unique Benefits at this House
At night, we enjoy the quiet--away from the Beach Road traffic which seems to never end during the summer months. Crabbing and fishing from our private dock keeps the children (young and old!) entertained while we grill and relax in the fenced backyard.
Rumored to be the best spot around for crabbing
Owner's Map of Kill Devil Hills
The joy of the ferry ride to Ocracoke never grows old.Since we were children, we have been making an annual trek to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It's beauty and tranquility has been unaltered by development. Whether rain or shine, there are a wide array of activities for families to enjoy and share. We chose Colington Harbor for it's central location and neighborhood appeal. Colington Harbor is a year-round community where people are not ships which pass in the night but neighbors who will help you out in a pinch and shout a friendly "Hello" in the morning as you set out on your boat to fish. This is why the Butlers call Camelot By The Bay our home away from home.

We had a really wonderful time staying in your home. It had everything we needed. The community pool was great! We really loved the kiddie pool. It had been over 20 years since we had visited the Outer Banks and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. There are so many great things to do there, one week just wasn't long enough. Miller's Seafood was just as good as we remembered. The weather was perfect! We had one day of rain, but not the entire day. Everybody needs a day of rest and napping. We had a very nice day trip to Ocracoke island. The kids and grandmothers really loved the ferry rides. Visitng the Cape Hatteras lighthouse was really fun. Make sure you are in tip top shape to climb the 248 steps to the top. The views are worth it. We went to Coquina Beach you recommened. It was nice to have showers to wash off all the sand and a place to change clothes. We really are looking forward to visiting the Outer Banks again next year!
Owner response:I am so happy your family enjoyed your vacation and hope you visit us again soon!

We really enjoyed this house. The Colington location, while far from the beach, was very quiet & pretty. On the outer banks you have to drive everywhere anyway, so the drive to the beach was no problem. This house stood out by being very well appointed, toys for the kids, a zillion beach chairs, even music & movies, we were really wanting for nothing. Susan (owner) was a big help as well, and very accomodating. In all, we felt like this house wa a great deal, considering the waterfront location, brand new hot tub, and generally high quality of the property. A+.
Owner response:Pete and his family were a pleasure to have visit our vacation home. They were wonderful guests who I hope return again.

The place and hospitatility of the owners was great. It felt like home with all the amenities we needed. The view from the top deck was wonderful to watch the sunsets. It was just off the main thoroughfare without all the noise and traffic. They had just about everything but the food and the boat! We did visit the club and it was nice and everyone friendly. Either I didn't read the instructions well or what, but we walked and it was almost 2 miles one way in 90 degree heat. Overall, it was great!.
Owner response:The community amenities are inside the gated portion of Colington Harbour. The swimming pool is 1.2 miles from our vacation home. I am sure in the hot sun it feels longer especially loaded down with towels and other items you may need during the day. While some enjoy the walk to the end of the island, others prefer driving to the pool especially those with young children and if you are taking supplies for a day in the sun--towels, sunblock, pool toys, etc. I apologize for any misunderstanding and encourage referencing our map to get a better perspective of where we are located in reference to popular points of interest in our area. My wish is for all our guests to enjoy themselves.

the home is wonderfully located at collington bay, the winding road out onto the island is an exciting drive with great scenery. the home is just off the beaten path enough to have peace a quiet, yet still only minutes back into Kill devil hills. You are also just a few miles north of Nags head and all those many attractions. The home itself was outstanding. the decor was very nice, with more than enough room should all 4 bedroom be occupied. The kitchen is well stocked and the entertainment center is wonderful with a huge TV, music and even video games should that interest you. The view from the upper deck of the canal and out into the sound back across to the mainland was great. We had a fantastic stay and i highly recommend the home to any vacationer.

The beach house was well decorated with a very relaxed atmosphere. The neighborhood was quite and the home was close to many attractions. I was there in April 2009 and wished I could have stayed longer for more relaxation and peace and quite. I look forward to returning soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. We had a great Memorial Day Weekend at the Beach. We had some beautiful beach weather, saw lots of wild horses in Corolla. It was fun driving on the beach there too! We also had lots of great meals-one of our favorites was Tortuga's Lie. I hope we are able to come back soon! Thank you!
