Outer Banks get away
Had a wonderful time aboard The Starry Banner! It definitely exceeded our expectations. Dan and Katherine are amazing hosts. They were very prompt with answering questions and gave us several great suggestions on various places to eat and things to do around the area. The location is great, within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. They also offer sunset sailboat cruises, which I highly recommend! Would definitely stay at The Starry Banner again.

Awesome! Was very enjoyable. Sadly I had to work during our stay, partly. But even with that it was perfect to work, relax, overall a great time. The bride and even looking at our own boat.

Reliving boating
Starry Banner was just as depicted....very clean, well appointed and an unusual and enjoyable experience. Katherine and Dan go out of their way to ensure the property is set up properly and explain the nuances and practices for living on board. The "yacht" has been metculously restored and is moored in an excellent location in the Manteo marina within walking distance of everything you might want or need. Parking was also very accessible. For a fun, different and enjoyable stay you really should climb a board Starry Banner.

Sweet town!
Dan and Katherine were so sweet! The boat is decorated so beautifully and we felt at home for our short stay. The town is a Mayberry sort of town with everything quiet by 9 pm which was great. Would definitely recommend! Hope to stay there again😊

Wonderful location and relaxing stay
We spent 8 nights on the Starry Banner and it was fantastic! The location is perfect. Easy walking to shops and restaurants and a quick drive to Nags Head and beyond. The boat had everything we needed and it was so relaxing to be there. The only drawback was spotty internet, but I just took that as a good sign that I should unplug! I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Spent the week of July 4th and can’t say enough about the extraordinary vacation experience! From the welcoming quaint town of Manteo to the exceptional hosts - this was a vacation we will never forget! The Starry Banner offered us everything we could ask for while exploring the Outer Banks! So much fun!!! Thank you, Katherine & Dan, your kindness is immeasurable! We will be back for sure!!!
