Our stay at the Neva Midgett House was marvelous! From the start, the owner (Sharon) was personable, professional, & so pleasant! We walked to Manteo's Waterfront (great shops, restaurants, Elizabeth II Ship, Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse, etc.) from The House. An easy drive took us to the Elizabethan Gardens (lovely) ,the NC Aquarium (excellent), along Dare County country side (beautiful), and across the bridge to Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, the Bodie Island Lighthouse, shops, and restaurants right on the Atlantic Ocean!
The easy walks and drives to so many places throughout the area made our stay at the Neva Midgett House marvelous! The house was quite roomy and was decorated with many antiques but it had all the conveniences of modern day life! The towels & linens were plush and there were many supplies (TP, soaps, laundry supplies, etc.) which made our visit very pleasant. We ate our breakfasts on the front porch sitting on rocking chairs with end tables while watching the lovely light porch curtains waving in the wind.
The Clemon's Cottage and The Island Loft were also occupied but we never saw or heard the other renters during our entire stay! We do plan on returning to "Cottages on Roanoke Island." Truly, the house, location, caring owner, and beautiful areas between the Sounds and Ocean resulted in a delightful time for everyone!
Great house and location for easy walking into downtown historic Manteo!
We had a lovely Mother/Daughter trip to Manteo! There were four of us and the Midgett house accommodated our needs perfectly! We loved sitting on the front porch each morning, having our coffee and talking with other folks that were out walking their dogs.
Sharon was very prompt in sending us information regarding our stay and in answering a few questions I had during our stay. I highly recommend visiting Manteo and staying at the Midgett House!!!
Cheers,
Robin
Excellent location in historic district. Spacious and comfortable 2BR cottage with big front porch.
We loved everything about Neva Midgett House. Well-appointed, elegant yet comfortable, very spacious for a 2 BR cottage. Front porch has several rocking chairs and location in historic district is superb - walk to everything! Owners are very accommodating, welcoming, and quick to respond. We will be back!
Loved it!
Loved the location in the historic district of Manteo. Enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and the waterfront. Great central location for exploring the whole Outer Banks area. Loved the vintage feel of the house and the front porch was a great place to sip your morning coffee or relax after a day of sightseeing. The house was attractively appointed and everything you will need for your stay was provided. Definitely recommend this place!
Perfect cottage for a perfect weekend in Manteo
We loved your cottage while vacationing in Manteo, our home away from home. So many comfort items were thoughtfully provided which allowed us to spend our time truly enjoying the area. When choosing a place to stay, we were hesitant to rent the Midgett House because of the Island Loft above us being rented as well as the Clemons Cottage. I read one of the Sharon's response to a review where someone had some noisy neighbors so we decided to give it a try. It was never a problem. Other than a few footfalls and a couple of barks, we never heard anyone else. Over the years, our family has rented many properties, this was by far the most comfortable, homey and clean. As far as the town of Manteo, we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Warm, friendly residents, great restaurants and Kill Devil Candied Pecans! Hope to visit again soon.
It feels like home.
This was our second stay at The Neva Midgett House, and after spending about nine hours on the road – we felt as though we had “come home” when we opened that front door and walked into the very welcome comfort within!
It’s easy to see from the photos that this is a beautiful house with a wonderful front porch and, although January isn’t prime for porch sitting, it can be a month of surprising weather. We arrived when it was just barely above freezing, however within two days we were up in the low 60’s enjoying our vacation from the frozen northeast!
Manteo is a perfect town – completely walk able (or bike able) from its lovely historic downtown, along the boardwalk by the waterfront, into Festival Park and even out past The Elizabethan Gardens. Although Nags Head's beaches are just minutes across the Washington Baum Bridge, we chose to go a little farther south and spent a few hours on Coquina Beach where we met some local fishermen launching their boat into the surf to set their nets for dogfish (AKA as cape shark) - and then were lucky enough to chat with two riders and their beautiful horses who’d come over from Wanchese. This is one of the great things about the area – you meet people who live there year round, not just tourists.
Although our stay in Manteo was a short one, we were able to hit some of our favorite spots including the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge just over in Manns Harbor (about a 30 minute drive), Jeanette’s Pier (an 8 minute drive) to watch the wetsuit clad surfers and pelicans fly over…and then down across the Bonner Bridge to Pea Island where the migrating ducks and waterfowl were really out in full force! If you haven’t driven down there, it’s a must see during any time of year. I highly recommend late afternoon in order to walk out to the observation areas and catch the ducks and birds as they home in before sunset…where you might find yourself in awe as the sunset steals over the never-ending sky, reflecting off the North Pond.
Staying at the Neva Midgett House once again offered us the comfort of feeling at home, having a real kitchen to cook in, yet being on vacation in a charming town. Must add that it’s a pleasure to walk everywhere – including to one of the best little restaurants in town, Ortega’z Southwestern Grill and wine bar just around the corner on Sir Walter Raleigh.
We couldn’t have asked for a better winter break, and Sharon Watson knows how to make her guests feel very welcome.
