A great base for a family holiday

A beautifully furnished condo, thoughtfully equipped. Great views of the sound and overlooking moorings so you can watch the boats and bird life from the balcony. Would happily return.

A taste of Manteo with a great view!

Myself, my husband and two close friends thought this place was the perfect accommodation for our long weekend getaway… being right in downtown Manteo we could walk the town and enjoy the beautiful shops and restaurants.the best view on the harbor side deck! Very clean and nice!

Not just about location

There are countless reviews raving about the location of this property and they are all accurate. HOWEVER, you can check into any fleabag hotel and have your bed made and towels hanging in the bathroom when you arrive. NOT HERE! We were unaware of this unusual policy and after a long day of traveling and entertainment we find that we have to make our bed. Not only did we have to make our own beds, but we were also required to participate as housekeeping by washing sheets and towels before leaving. It's not like the place was a bargain! Not renting there again, it was our fourth rental in Manteo for the same music festival and by far the biggest disappointment.

September 2024

We enjoyed our stay at your location. The private parking was wonderful and we felt very safe in the unit. It was central to all the activities we wanted to do. The bedrooms were great. We were unaware that the bathrooms did not have any bath soap to use, so we ended up buying our own. We were also unaware that we had to wash and dry all the towels we used. The dryer took forever to dry so this delayed our leaving time a bit. The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. Connecting to the WiFi was a problem because the codes that were given to use in our check-in code was not the correct code. But we contacted the host and he told us where to find the new codes. Overall this was a good experience!

Great stay in Mateo!

Perfect location for a week away on the water. We had a great time walking through Manteo with a short drive to the beach and Jockey’s Ridge. Walking distance from Roanoke Island Park, close to restaurants and activities for our family of 4.

Great location

Great place, highly recommend. Was missing a few beach things but never fear, we bought an umbrella and some boogie boards and left them for everyone to enjoy. Checking out was the only negative, had to catch an early plane in Norfolk and didn't realize we had to wash and fold our own bed sheets.

Our first time visiting Manteo

We enjoyed our stay in Manteo and the daytrips to visit the OBX. Michael's property has a stunning harbor view, and was clean and spacious. We would stay there again if our future travels take us to the OBX. Only comment we would make is the air conditioning seemed to strain to cool the back BR with the king-size bed and harbor view. Also the front doorlatch took some learning but we mastered it fairly quickly.

Girls Vacation

Perfect location in downtown Manteo on the waterfront. Great views of the marina and lovely balcony was perfect for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine with the moonlight on the water. Parking spot was convenient in the garage under the condo, literally across from the elevator. Felt very safe where we were. Clean bathrooms and tidy living room. Beds were comfortable. Had a nice kitchen with cooking amenities, which we did use everyday. Close to shops, water activities and everywhere we wanted to go was within a 20 minute drive. The Saturday morning community/farmer’s market was across the street and a good variety of vendors, worth checking out. Would definitely stay here again!

A Lovely Vacation Home

The directions to check in were unclear. Once that was resolved, all was smooth. The location was very nice—quiet, scenic, and charming. The condo was homey, adequate, and filled all our needs. We’re very grateful to have found this and we think visitors who are looking for a place to unwind and relax will love it. At the same, time there are lots of things to do as well.

Manteo New Year's Get-Away

This is our 2nd year at this property during the end of the year and New years. We celebrate my wife's birthday on the 31st and then New Year's. Great property! Very well equipped! Great location! Great view of fireworks! Manteo outdid themselves! We hope to make this an annual event for our family and friends. Availability of the shopping carts for luggage back and forth is a great idea and really helped. Thanks for the hospitality. Would love to make arrangements for 2024. Thanks! Bill & Cindy
