The cottage is lovely, perfect for two people! Everything we needed was provided for a very comfortable week’s stay. Its location is perfect, only a few short blocks to the happening downtown center of Manteo. Also the best ice cream store is right across the street from the cottage!

Little Gem

This property is perfect for a couple's getaway to OBX. Wonderfully convenient, easy access, up to date, beautiful, and prime location in Manteo. My wife and I loved this place so much, all we have talked about since we've returned, is when we can go back. I've rated VRBO properties 5 stars in the past, but wish I could give this property 10 stars!

Manteo cottage

This Manteo cottage was perfect for our short get away. The cottage was very clean and relaxing, it had everything we needed. Walking distance was perfect to downtown Manteo for shopping and dining. Gia, the property manager was a gem. She checked in with us frequently via email to assure we had everything we needed. I would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Manteo. Thank you again Gia.

Best Experience on VRBO

This is my second stay at this property. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the great location, intimate setting, and proximity to the Manteo waterfront. It's a quick hop over the bridge to the beach. By far, Gia is the best property owner and communicator, going way above and beyond any expectations. She is not intrusive, but sincerely dedicated to making sure every aspect of your stay is 5 stars. We love this property, and are already talking about when we can go back!

Peaceful clean and quaint

Clean updated and perfect for an overnight or weekend trip. A renovated garage with comfortable bed and close walk to downtown Manteo. Property is directly of 64 but was peaceful and quiet. Wifi did not work so no TV the entire time. Place was clean and comfy. Gia was friendly and responsive during our stay.

Weekend visit to Manteo

The location was perfect for us as we brought out bicycles- perfect distance to shops and to the festival park. Parking on the property was a bit tight with our truck but very doable. The mini kitchen had everything we needed to prepare lunches and snacks while we were visiting. My husband and I both enjoyed the comfort of the bed- we are picky!! Gia was very responsive and gave lots of local suggestions!
