About this property
Remodeled cottage with plenty of outdoor space and privacy
Experience the quiet side of the Outer Banks.....Island Retreat is just a bike ride away from Manteo's water front shopping district and a fifteen minute car ride from the beach. Centrally located to all kinds of fishing and boating experiences. Relax on the covered porch after day time exploring. There is a gas grill available to cook your catch.
Or create a gourmet meal for the whole crew in the well equipped kitchen.
