This room was clean and well-maintained. The people were very friendly. Convenient to downtown Manteo and about 10-15 from Jennette’s Pier at Nags Head. Only negative is there’s just one parking space per room, but for most people that is probably just fine. A cute and comfortable place to stay. Would go back and would recommend.

The property was Immaculate and well worthwhile. Tara was very friendly and more accommodating than any hotel I have stayed at in years. The only thing I saw that was a little off was the access to the shower controls - could not get the water running without getting the cold water a bit.

We stay here a couple of times per year when we visit the Outer Banks. It is always welcoming and clean, and convenient to everything in Manteo. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms and bathrooms with nice coastal decor. Also loe the outdoor fire pit and tiki bar and the old fashioned front porch with rope swings.
