The Coastal Gem - Historic Manteo
You have found your new favorite vacation spot in the heart of Manteo!
Built in 1910, The Coastal Gem is a lovely four-bedroom, two-bath home has all of the historic charm of the area while still providing modern appliances and design. You will love the awesome location and unique beauty of this home!
The main-level offers a spacious living area, modern fully-equipped kitchen, two dining spaces, finished porch, a Queen bedroom, and the 1st bathroom, all with beautiful furnishings and artwork. Upstairs you'll find a large Primary bedroom with King bed, another Queen bedroom, the final bedroom which holds a Double Bunk bed, a Bonus space with Day bed with Trundle and a Air Hockey table, and the 2nd bathroom. All rooms have lots of windows and beautiful light. The large fenced-in backyard features a built-in fire pit with Adirondack chairs and picnic table, perfect for all times of day and night.
This beautiful home is just a short stroll to the Manteo waterfront and its many shops, art galleries, and restaurants as well as to Roanoke Island Festival Park. It is convenient to other not-to-be missed Roanoke Island attractions, including the Elizabethan Gardens, North Carolina Aquarium, and the Lost Colony production, the nation's oldest outdoor symphonic drama. Nags Head beaches are just a 10-minute drive away and beautiful Coquina Beach, an undeveloped stretch of shoreline that is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, is a 15-minute drive. Don't miss the Saturday Farmer's Market at the nearby Maritime Museum and Park where you'll find locally grown produce, honey, seafood, and arts and crafts. The nearby weather tower is a must for youngsters as the flags indicate the current (and changing) weather.

Loved this property. Our only concern at the house was the stairway inside. It was difficult to climb and dangerous walking down. Besides that we loved your home and love Manteo!!!!
Within walking distance to everything great in Manteo!
Family visiting daughter living in Manteo and guys duck hunting trip. Great location and easy booking. Need to know this is managed by Pirates Cove. Received no check in instructions. Texted multiple times before arriving with no response. Called number on sign at the home and learned we needed to back track to a realty company to checkin. Is that VRBO? It was new to me. Folks at Pirates Cove very nice and received code to access property. It's an historic home and even d/s br&bath w/ claw tub not good for mom. We enjoyed stay but did not sleep well. ALL beds are foam and need a nice thick mattress cover - STRONGLY suggest! We'll return if beds are upgraded. We still had a nice visit.
