Midgett House in old town Manteo, OBX

When coming to Manteo, or The Outer Banks, North Carolina, why not stay in one of the quaint Historic Homes of Manteo? The cozy guest house in the heart of historic old town Manteo. You will have the entire first floor and private front porch for your comfort. The Neva Midgett House makes for the perfect vacation rental accommodations for your visit to Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Neva Midgett house is listed on the Manteo Historic Home registery. The two bedroom guest home is located within walking distance to all that Manteo has to offer including quaint bookstores, wonderful restaurants, art museums, Festval Park for open air concerts, galleries and interesting shops. In fact, the Neva Midgett House was once a very popular antique shop and well known to residents and visitors alike.

Midgett House is a two bedroom guesthouse offering the perfect combination of privacy, quiet comfort, and easy access to our beautiful historic town. Rise with the sun and go for a jog along the waterfront or relax on your covered front porch with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the flowers in the gardens. Hop on your bike and be instantly surrounded by the history and mystery of Roanoke Island.

THERE IS NOTHING MIDGET ABOUT Midgett House which includes the entire FIRST floor of this arts and crafts bungalow. The house can accommodate up to 4 guests.

From the front door, you will find your own covered porch to enjoy comfortable porch furniture and watch the world go by. The most beautiful beaches in the world of the Outer Banks are located within 5 miles of Manteo. Roanoke Island, centerally located, is perfect for a trip to the northern beaches to see the wild horses roaming freely, or south to the island of Okracoke by ferry. Either way you go, wherever you spend your day, you will return to the privacy and comfort of your own charming house.

The Manteo Walking Tour includes many of the historic homes including the Neva Midgett House. Remember to visit the many other wonders of Roanoke Island. The Lost Colony is performed nightly during the summer months.

The Elizabethean Gardens are to die for--beautiful.

Hope you can come!

The Place to be to Explore Manteo and Area

Perfect location for walking downtown and to take early morning walks with dog. Every afternoon on the porch. So relaxing. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for a couple with adult daughter and dog. Easy communications and we so appreciated Sharon letting us check in early to accommodate a Zoom meeting. I want to come back to Manteo and will work around availability of this place for sure. Remember to bring your own basic food items - grocery store and restaurants all within walking distance.

Our family of 4 stayed here very comfortably for 3 nights. First of all, the beds and pillows were wonderful —so comfortable! We also enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs and the house itself was charming. The location was perfect for exploring downtown. My son and I parasailed with Kitty Hawk Kites and there was plenty to do and see close by. Kids enjoyed the Wifi during our downtime. We would definitely stay here again.

Great spot in pleasant Manteo & base for the Outer Banks

We really enjoyed our stay at Midgett Cottage! Like stepping through a time warp into someone's 1940 home - very cool. Was fun to read about Mrs. Midgett(e?). The cottage is more spacious than we expected from the pictures and was very comfortable. Worked out perfectly for us and our pup. Manteo itself is a refreshing, relaxing change from the strip retail frenzy of the main Outer Banks (nice to be able to walk down to the waterfront, grab a bite or a drink, check out the old houses along the way, etc) - on the other hand, turn the other direction down to Cape Hatteras National Seashore and everything is lovely and natural. Keep in mind there are only a handful of restaurants in Manteo itself. The first night we wandered randomly into NouVines wine bar (which is pet friendly) - what a great and interesting wine selection! Friendly owners, relaxing atmosphere; in the end, we never made it elsewhere for dinner (they have a charcuterie plate). Very friendly young woman named Katie B was singing and playing guitar (she's quite good and fun to chat with). Olives (Greek) is a great spot for lunch (not open for dinner). Aqua in Duck was another great lunch spot, nice chill atmosphere outside - only problem was the traffic getting to Duck. Got takeout from 1587 Restaurant the next night (no outdoor seating., so no doggie option), which was excellent. Other restaurants for some reason were either closed or had their patio closed. Decided to eat at home the next couple nights, so went to Fresh Catch Seafood in Wanchese - it's the real deal! Crazy fresh tuna steaks for one dinner and shrimp for another! We had a great stay here and hope to be back again!
