This is a perfect place for a weekend get-away! My husband and I loved the location and how you can walk to so many shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We enjoyed being about 10 minutes from the beach, while still experiencing the quaintness of downtown manteo. Thank you, Laurie, for opening your studio to us!

Home Base for a Concert

We really enjoyed our stay. This studio apartment was very clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to the festival park, the Manteo waterfront, shops, and a few restaurants and delis. We were surprised to find some waters and drinks in the frig and a bottle of wine as well. Very appreciated. We will definitely stay here again.
