We'll be back!!! We stumbled upon this bed and breakfast through an Airbnb booking. Unfortunately we only booked it for one night!Dawn and Darrell are so pleasant and make you feel right at home. The other guests were just as welcoming and we enjoyed talking to all of them. We just wish we would have stayed the entire weekend to get to know them better. If you're looking for a community of fellow travelers that love having a good time and sharing with you what adventures they did during the day. This is definitely the spot for you. Several of the guests even mentioned that they were returning in a few months and also made a bookings for July 4th of next year!A perfect balance of feeling welcomed while still being able to sneak away for some quiet time!The breakfast and cookies we had were spot on! We were also offered homemade pear jam made form the pear tree out back.Also make sure to say hello to the family of ospreys that live just off the dock out back! Quite a sight to see those magnificent birds up close!

We found Colington Creek Inn via reference from a friend. What a gem sitting here in OBX! You won't find a better breakfast at the Outer Banks. Dawn and Darold are attentive and generous with their time and guidance. It's like a built in concierge service. We got chairs, umbrella and beach goods from to head out to the beach. They just make the whole experience relaxing and fun. Kayaks are also available. The saltwater pool is an absolute treat and the views are quite nice. The overall experience here is just as they want it to be - relaxing. Each room has its own semi-private porch area and we spent a ton of time with coffee and wine overlooking the sound. We will be back.

My husband and I stayed one night at Colington Creek Inn. We definitely should have stayed longer. This is a hidden gem in the OBX. It's peaceful & relaxing. There is a spot for everyone to enjoy the view. The host are lovely and very welcoming. The small touches like wine upon arrival to sweet treats before bed were very much appreciated. Breakfast is delicious. This is a must visit.

Just had an AMAZING experience in the Outer Banks! I stayed at the Collington Inn which is a Bed and Breakfast located in Kill Devil Hill. The owner Dawn and her husband Darold are quite amazing!This B&B only serves 100% Organic Gluten Free meals. I had an awesome breakfast every morning during my stay that Dawn prepared which was homemade. EVERYTHING was delicious!! I did not once have a meal that I disliked. Dawn also leaves a small dessert every night by your door which was such a great treat after a long day! One night I had chocolate covered strawberries which were so good, second night I had brownie bites that were super moist and quite tasty with the chocolate that was used, and the third night I had pear and raspberry muffin bites (it was not a breakfast type bite, but best way to describe it) that were so good too! This was all homemade!!The grounds around the B&B are gorgeous, it makes you feel like you are apart of a movie scene because it's so beautiful. The rooms are spacious too!Book a stay at Collington Inn, you will not regret it!!

Extremely nice - so superior to a hotel! The breakfast is a culinary delight. The hosts are warm and hospitable. Romantic, on the water and tons of extras. They offer kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs, a small pier and plenty of comfy places to look out over the water and relax. No television so bring your own entertainment. The price was excellent for what you get. Tons of great eating less than a mile away. We will be back!

I can only start with: WOW!! My husband & I had a PHENOMENAL experience at Colington Creek Inn. From the start to the finish of our stay we were met with above and beyond hospitality. We stayed in the Suite and really felt that every detail they put into our room (as well as every where else in the Inn or on the property) was thoughtful, practical, and from the heart. The breakfasts were indescribable-- utilizing home/Inn grown, local and gluten-free ingredients & they really showed off their culinary knowledge with different and delicious recipes. A tiny fraction of the reasons for this 5 star review not yet mentioned: recommended amazing local restaurants (literally down the street), large & clean pool, fun porch swings on the screened-in porch and overlooking the water, the jacuzzi tub in the Suite was fantastic (and Epsom salts were provided!!), they had their own little dock, great quality linens, towels, robes, and mattress, and lastly-- all of the personalized details that I'll keep as a surprise. While we were relaxing on the enclosed porch outside our room on the 3rd day of our stay, my husband quoted, "I feel like we've come to a vacation home that we've known for so long." That truly speaks to the warm & inviting ambiance of this Inn. Please stay here!! We can't recommend this place enough. Dawn & Darold have huge hearts, love people well, and are proud owners of a gorgeous and relaxing property. Ambiance***We stayed here during COVID and they were awesome about following every rule of COVID compliance. They had their masks on at all times, recommended we wear masks, spaced out guests in outdoor spaces, and kept the property sparkling clean and sanitized.

Kill devil hills. OBX. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. The inn is Hugh. With 2 screened porches upstairs and 1 downstairs. The other downstairs porch has tables for breakfast. There is also 4 high top tables on the deck for outside eating. We get the Boat Room. 1 king size bed with a bathroom big enough to dance in. Shampoo, conditioner, soaps and beauty pack filled with toothbrushes, q tips , dental pics. The views are fantastic. We watched dolphins and otters while eating breakfast. The breakfast is a work of art. Fruit cups, yogurt eggs with ham and cheese. Freshly made crepes with bananas and homemade Carmel sauce. There is a microwave and dishes, silverware and cooler with sodas and water upstairs with couches and games. Fresh baked cookies outside your room in the evening. There is fishing and crabbing on site. If you don't have the equipment they Wii loan you what you need. There is also a pool, several swings and chairs outside. Everything is so tastefully done and welcoming. There is also a small elevator to get suitcases and people upstairs.

This is definitely the gem of the Outer Banks. You step through the front door and you feel like you've been transported to England's Countryside. Our room was quaint and unique, and offered all the comforts of home. Our breakfast is crafted each morning by Dawn and served by Darold. We had our own private porch or we could choose to sit outside in comfortable chairs overlooking the water. After five days, it was hard to say goodbye.This is definitely a must stay for the next time we visit our family on the Outer Banks. Thank you Dawn and Darold for a wonderful stay.

When we left the Colington Creek Inn after a 4 night stay in the cottage I told my husband I felt like I was leaving a sweet aunt and uncle's house. Dawn and Darold are the most wonderful hosts. They bring a freshly made treat every night and each morning they serve a lovely multi-course breakfast. In addition to the food and comfortable accommodations we enjoyed the pool, kayaking, watching a storm from the sun room, lounging in a hammock, and the close approximation to the beach, shops and seafood market. I would be delighted to stay here again!
