I can’t say enough good things about Katy Bell and this property! It’s so cute and very comfortable. Location is great, and Manteo has a lot to offer. Katy was very kind, helpful, and responsive. The kitchen was well stocked, and we cooked every night! There is a tree-lined bike/walking path right at the end of the road and a charming road back to the mother grapevine with beautiful scenery! It rained well over 50% of the time, but we were still able to do a lot of activities (Paradise Dolphin Cruise, Elizabethan Garden with butterfly release, The Lost Colony outdoor play, downtown waterfront shopping and boardwalk, day trips to the rest of OBX, great shopping trip in Duck, wonderful seafood lunches, purple martins at sunset at Manns Harbor, a peacock sighting in Wanchese, Christmas Shop, board walk and sand dunes at Jockey Ridge Park, wonderful art galleries, and runs between the rainfalls). We didn’t get to the aquarium because it was very crowded with all the rain and nobody going to beaches. We tried the beach one windy day at Nags Head but got sand blasted! Manteo seems to be a safe town. We had so much fun and loved our house!
