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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
