This was the perfect, calm getaway. It’s close to everything, but also far enough away to feel remote. Also, the staff is some of the nicest I have met during a stay. I will definitely stay here again.

I can't say enough about our stay. This was the first time NOT staying on the beach. It was probably THE MOST RELAXING vacation we've ever had. Everything was perfect. Our check-in was very late, but we were given instructions for the door code and location. Our room was beautifully decorated, very clean, bright and overlooked the marina. The bed was firmer than we are used to, but did not hinder our sleep. Breakfast provided every morning of fresh fruit, juice, coffee, yogurt, sausage biscuits and a beautiful view of the marina. If you're looking for something other than that.. Darrell's is your place! Great food and amazing service. The staff, Marci, Chuck, Frankie, Mary, Ashley(sorry we missed you) were all very friendly and gave us lots of information on sites other than the beach. The aquarium was a highlight, as was the local theatre. We relaxed every afternoon during the "cocktail hour". Wine, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers were a special treat after spending the day either at the beach, the pool( offered through an off property resort) or just checking out the sweet town of Manteo. We dined at the restaurant (1587) Sunday evening. Make sure to reserve a table as it is popular. My husband had the Red Drum and I had the Ribeye. Delicious doesn't begin to describe either dish. We relaxed every evening on the deck overlooking the marina and was an excellent way to end our day. Tranquil House Inn.. INDEED, was just that. We didn't want to leave.

Great stay

Mary and all the staff were amazing and helpful. From dinner suggestions, offering to loan a bicycle (which I used to ride to the piggly Wiggly for some provisions and to Ft Roanaoke to check that out), to happy hour wine and cheese we were super happy with our choice. Also it’s right next to the marina and we had our boat there.
