Sunshine Cottage is in a lovely and quiet residential neighborhood in Manteo. It's a perfect home base for exploring the Outer Banks. The cottage was spotless when we checked in, and the furnishings, provided linens and towels, and nicely equipped kitchen made our stay a breeze. I can't say enough good things about the comfortable beds — so welcome after a long day of activities. The cottage has great water pressure for those who enjoy an invigorating shower. We're not TV watchers when on holiday, but there are three nice sets for those who don't want to miss favorite shows.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 31, 2025
Please always be sure to select properties that best fit your needs or wants Especially when booking last min stays. This property is away from the beach on Roanoke island and hosts opportunities that involve downtown Manteo, Roanoke island festival park, and it is about 10 min from Jeannette’s pie and the beach. These three stars represent the guests perception of the location to the beach but do not reflect the property of being clean, well decorated, and a fully stocked kitchen with pans and utensils .
