About this property

Little Lifeboat Manteo Cottage

Location. Location. Location. Centrally located in the heart of Roanoke Island, this charming coastal cottage will make you fall in love with historic Manteo, North Carolina. Walking distance to the sound, grab a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop and walk to Manteo lighthouse downtown shops, restaurants and Festival Park. Great walking/biking neighborhood and only a 12-minute drive to Nags Head beaches and Jennette's Pier. Enjoy the best of both worlds while visiting the Outer banks.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect place to stay for a beach trip. Was perfect for a couple with all the amenities of having your own little house. This has been our favorite place to stay in and will definitely stay here again next time.

This is a cozy, sweet little cottage that has everything we needed for a few days of r and r. Host was kind and responsive, space was in a quiet, pretty neighborhood, we got to play board games and enjoy some family time, go to beach a few minutes drive over the bridge, and visit the aquarium and some great local restaurants. Thank you for a lovely time.
