Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer

Those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer

You'll wish that summer could always be here


In his famous song from 1963, Nat King Cole celebrated the traditional joys of summer vacations, and here in the OBX, the joyful times do indeed roll! With our long sunny days and fun-filled nights, there’s truly something for friends and family to do nearly ‘round the clock. On the beach, you’ll find swimmers, surfers, sunbathers, kite-flyers, dog-walkers, seashell hunters, and those hopeful souls with their lines in the water looking for the evening’s supper. On the soundside, you’ll find kayakers, pontooners, and waverunners. In between are endless choices of shopping, dining, mini-golf, go-karts, community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, museums, and of course the ice cream shops for the kiddos (ok, the ice cream shops are for mom and dad, too 😊).  Just penning these lines makes me feel energized and exhausted all at the same time! For sure, the desire to “get it all in”, to “experience it all”, to “make the most of every moment” all too often drives our fear of missing out modern living. Who among us hasn’t returned home from vacation, only to say, “I’m exhausted from the vacation!”? Yet, while we were busy snapping a thousand photos, did we miss the moment when our wide-eyed youngsters saw their first ghost crab? Were we so focused on the perfect selfie that we missed the soundside sunset?


In the midst of all our doing, I’m reminded of Koselig Kove’s primary purpose – to provide a place of comfort and peace where guests can “turn their On switches to Off” and just enjoy the lazy days of summer to balance out the crazy days of summer. Waking up with a comforting cup of coffee on the east-facing deck, you can enjoy the sun gently rising over majestic live oaks. As the morning slowly unfolds you can create whatever breakfast suits your fancy in the spacious kitchen. Or maybe the sunny loft summons you for some quiet time with a good book before the kids awaken. Of course, there’s always the hot tub on the mid-deck where you can soak yourself in the bubbly water anytime you want!


However you choose to spend your time in the OBX, remember that you always have a retreat amid the hustle and bustle of the high season. Fra skogen til stranden, come and find your koselig at Koselig Kove.
