Great location and fair rate

Came to OBX for birding, staying in this place in Manteo was the right move. Quiet town and close to most major bird sites in the area. This place was really nice; quiet area, great location, and even the grounds themselves were nice. Easy process for checking in and out too. Overall great time.

Great place to celebrate milestones

The studio immediately had a comfortable and home like feel. To be able to wind down and relax. The host was very responsive if you had any questions. Loved the location with so much to do in walking distance. Loved the history aspect of Roanoke. Also the island had a laid back atmosphere. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

A hidden oasis in Manteo, NC

I had a wonderful time staying here with my friend. We were perfectly located in walking distance of downtown Manteo and got to enjoy all this town had to offer. The room was so clean an inviting. The area is quiet. I locked myself out once and the host took care of it quickly. Already recommended it to friends.
