  We are veteran VRBO'ers, and could not have been happier with the choice of the Midgett House as HQ for our first OBX experience. The house is much larger than it looks, with very comfortable cottage furnishings and decor. We felt 'at home' immediately, as did our 4 legged traveling companion (8 y/o pointer). The porch was a favorite spot for all of us, but we equally enjoyed afternoons in the lovely garden. We also spread out all of our maps, touristy brochures, laptop, etc. on the spacious dining room table and desk, and never felt cramped. The location was absolutely ideal---a quick walk 'downtown,' and although we had some concern before arriving about being 'on a main street,' I can testify that Manteo in full swing is not even close to my home during school traffic. Just NO street noise or annoyance! We enjoyed many bike rides exploring the lovely community. Spent time at the Elizabethan Gardens, Aquarium, and ice cream shops. Midgett/Manteo suited us far better as a home base than any of the OBX rentals - they are not remotely inviting compared to the Midgett House and Manteo charm. We are encouraging all of our friends to sample the house, the cottage, or the loft. Also, consider taking all three for a family reunion, girls weekend, or other gathering. The three are 'one' delightful offering. Thank you, Sharon, from all of us for the great stay.

• Beautiful Vacation Home in Manteo, NC

  This charming cottage was perfect for my husband, me, sister-in-law and our small dog for a few days visiting the Outer Banks. The listing was accurate, and the photos don't do it justice; it is beautifully decorated. The property was clean and well maintained, and the central air conditioning was a blessing in the very hot weather. The owner was very helpful before our stay. I would definitely recommend the Midgett House or the smaller neighboring cottage, which has its own parking lot. There is on-street parking for the Midgett House. Our favorite attraction in Manteo was the outdoor play, "The Lost Colony." Manteo is a short drive to the other towns in the Outer Banks and the ocean. I would love to visit here again. Three days is not long enough.

  My family has stayed in the Neva Midgett house once before this visit. Previously we stayed in Clemons Cottage. This house feels comfortable and safe. The distance to the waterfront in seconds. It is also very close to the rest of OBX without being crowded and noisy. This last visit was just my daughters and me, since Dad is serving in Afghanistan. We felt secure here by ourselves because of the great experiences we have had before. We cannot recommend this place enough! As we drove away today I felt like we were leaving an old friend.

  Upon arrival, we noticed that the accommodations were cozy and clean. Everything that we could possibly need for a relaxing, stress-free week was included. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, coffee maker, plus all the kitchen utensils needed to whip up a few home-cooked meals were there for our use. The location, a short walk from the Manteo waterfront and quaint shops was very convenient. Also, the cottage is only a 15 minute drive to the beach at Nags Head. We will return to the Midgett House at some future date and highly recommend it to others.

  We stayed at Midgett house with our two children during Spring break of 2012. We all loved the house very much. We found out from a local artist that it used to be an antique shop. The house was tastefully decorated and very clean. We look forward to our next stay at there.

  Recommended for: Families with young children.

  Owner response: How fun that you discovered that Midgett House was once an antique shop! The house is full of history and I am so glad you visited. Please return!

  We loved our stay in Manteo at the Midgett House! It is a perfect location for enjoying downtown shops and restaurants and the Outer Banks area! The house was very comfortable, clean and charmingly decorated! We received a very helpful packet in the mail prior to our visit and the property manager even came by to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Our dog traveled with us and he loved sitting on the front porch (We did too!) We highly recommend this sight and hope to return!

  its a truly unique experience to stay here, the community is inviting to walk around, the local attractions are close and the grocery store is a few blocks from the home. we had the pleasure of staying in the most charming house in the community. my small children loved pulling up to the white picket fence and running around the beautiful yard in the front and the back. I highly recommend this house to any and all age groups. the couch is comfy, the kitchen is quaint (and fully stocked with everything needed to make a great home cooked meal) and the bathroom is spacious. the dining room is huge and sunny. it was a perfect fit for our family. the property manager is warm and inviting as well, a perfect match for the home.

  Well, we loved Clemons Cottage, and now we love this house too! Lots of room with the large master bed and the twin beds in the second bedroom. A dishwasher and a washer dryer! Yay! Clean clothes all through the vacation! Nice to bring home clean smelling laundry!! Plenty of space for our family of four. We did not spend a lot of time at the house, since we were there to sight see and enjoy the beaches, but we did enjoy one night during a rain storm watching television on the comfy couch while our daughters played card games on the dining room table! We loved our stay here and would recommend it to everyone, as long as we still have space for our yearly reservation! Oh, and as an Active Duty military family we appreciate the affordability of the home!

  Owner response: Thanks so much for your many visits to our Cottages! We have enjoyed your visits to Clemons Cottage and your first visit to Midgett House!!! We will always have a spot for you anytime you would like to come again

  Finally after all the disappointing and lifeless hotel experiences, I found the out-of-the-way home away from home. Everything that I could have possibly needed was there from DVD machine, Iron, knife large enough to cut a watermelon, enough towels, bicycles, washing machine, dishwasher, and on and on. An easy 5 block walk to multiple restaurants and real shopping in a historical downtown. Yes, the beach was a short-drive away but so were all the tourist traps. If you want a small house for your vacation with a front porch that brings a "sigh" of relaxation, this is it!!

  Our family of 4 were the first guests of the Midgett House in Manteo. We loved the comfort of the house. It is beautifully decorated and I found that the owners went out of their way to make the place welcoming and comfortable. The bedrooms are not only very nice looking but the beds are comfortable, the pillows are down and so are the comforters. I think the dining room was my favorite room - very refined and yet welcoming. The kitchen has absolutely all the necessities - and again, all is of high quality. There is a big front porch and a small back yard that my children enjoyed immensely. The only small drawback is that you are at the very edge of the historic district, so across the street there is the Town Hall and a funeral home. Thankfully, big trees completely block the view of that once you are in the yard. It is an easy walk to the shops and to good restaurants. Also walkable is the board walk and Fort Ralleigh National Historic Site.

  Owner response: Thank you for your great review of Midgett House! Your comments are so appreciated. Our first guest will always be special to us and I hope you will come back to Roanoke Island someday.
