This house fit us great. Sue the owner was great always there if you needed her. The little downtown of Manteo was right there for food and shopping and the beach was a short drive away. We had a great time at Woodys! I would recommend this place

We loved our stay at Woody’s. It is a lovely home that accommodated us comfortably. We especially enjoyed the front porch, eating on the back deck, the downtown location and the fenced in yard for our doggies.

The Hedstrom family followed all the house rules and left our home in top order. Kay was was very friendly and pleasure to talk to. Looking forward to them returning in the future.
Well maintained (and loved) property within a stones throw of the waterfront, restaurants, shopping, and the festival park. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for entertaining; large kitchen and covered deck with grill/griddle to cook your daily catch!

My family and I had a family wedding to attend at 108 Budleigh and this location was perfect! Sue was very attentive and made us feel right at home. Her house definitely feels like a family home it’s very warm and inviting and has everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything Sue!!

Excellent location and house was set up great for our family of 6. High tech kitchen faucet and stove were a bit of a puzzlement. Everything was good for our stay and we would recommend this location for other families.

Thank you for the nice review. Looking forward to you all returning. Thank you 😊
We enjoyed our stay at Woody’s Cottage! 20 minutes to Coquina Beach, a very short walk to downtown Manteo, and a short drive to Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head. The home has a lot of space for a large family and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to prepare a great meal. The fenced-in front and backyard were perfect for our dog.
My family (7 of us, ages 11-80) stayed 4 nights. The location can't be beat, we walked every morning to a coffee shop one block over and walked to shopping, ice cream and Festival Park. The house was equipped with everything we needed and the owners were kind and responsive when we had a minor laundry emergency. The feel of the place is absolutely like you are staying in well loved, well kept family vacation home and it was perfect for us. Would totally stay here again.
