Quiet & relaxing top floor, sound-front condo, with elevator at the Outer Banks!

Lovely views! Spacious. Lots of light. Fantastic view of New Year's Eve fireworks from back deck. Owners very responsive to questions. Easy lock and nice elevator. Great internet access. So many opportunities for sightseeing. Don't go to Hatteras for the next year and a half, though. All paint has been removed from the lighthouse, and it is enshrouded in scaffolding. A 20 million dollar renovation is going on. Stripers restaurant, on site, was excellent. Trio was great for New Year's Eve dinner.

Beautiful clean condo

Second time staying at this property. EVERYTHING about the property is Five Star.

My friends and I spent 4 nights at this property and it was the best experience we've had at a rental.It was clean, very well stocked and in a great location. The owners were very responsive and provided very clear instructions. I would definitely book this unit again!

The condo was in a great location central to all of the activities you could want to do on an Outer Banks vacation. It was a peaceful, quiet spot out of the hustle of the more touristy areas and the balconies offered great views of Sound and sunrise and sunset. They had nice patio furnature on both balconies and we spent quiet mornings out there drinking coffee and watching the Osprey in their nest. Unfortunately for us, we didnt have the best weather for the week. We enjoyed the beach and Jeanettes Pier a few days and visited some lighthouses. Downtown Manteo is a cute area for food and shopping. I also highly recommend The live outdoor show The Lost Colony as well as the Wright Brothers museum and monument. The condo was stocked with all the basics and some starters of things like toilet paper and paper towel. Everything was clean and comfortable. There is an elevator easily accessible to bring up luggage although i took the stairs most of the time throughout the vacation. The hosts were very responsive to our inquiries and quick to correct a mistake with the accuracy of the rental listing. They were able to offer many suggestions as well for places to eat and visit during our stay. There is a pool on site for hot days when you dont want the beach scene and a restaurant as well. The Christmas shop is right next door and I highly recommend. It is huge and full of beautiful xmas decor. Overall, I would recommend this property.

The condo was beautiful, clean, and perfectly located for our family. Full kitchen and multiple bathrooms were great for our family of four. The multiple outdoor balconies were fantastic for quiet evening drinks. Had some confusion entering the first time (user error on my part) and the owners were immediately responsive. Their suggestions for food and activities were on point. Would absolutely recommend and stay there again.

We had the most lovely stay at Shallowbag Bay. The condo is gorgeous and the owners thought of everything. Beautiful community. Close to everything. Can’t wait to stay again.

Perfect location . We were a group of 2 adults and 2 children, and enjoyed many nearby activities such as an aquarium, Elizabethan Gardens and Roanoke Island Festival Park. A dolphin tour was available on the property. The condo has views of water on two sides which enhanced our visit. So glad we chose this condo to stay. Highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful! The condo was very clean, beautifully decorated. The views were stunning on both sides of condo. Our family had the best vacation, we will definitely be back!

Very cozy place!

Our stay at your Shallowbag Bay Club condo was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the attention to detail, cleanliness, and overall ambiance of the condo. The location was perfect — close enough to attractions and restaurants but tucked away for a peaceful retreat.The property itself is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed, from cozy linens to a well-equipped kitchen. Every aspect of the condo made our stay incredibly comfortable. The outdoor space is a real highlight (see photos) whether sipping coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evening, it felt like our private little oasis.The hosts Robert and Lisa are exceptional — responsive, friendly, and truly invested in making our experience wonderful. Their thoughtful touches, like local recommendations made all the difference since this was our first visit to The Outer Banks.If you're looking for a stay that combines luxury, comfort, and convenience, this is it. We can't wait to return!Thank you for everything!Gloria, Jeff and Lori

Beautiful condo with 2 balconies & water views. Everything you could possibly need is furnished. We have stayed in vacation properties from ME.to the Keyes to LA & this was our favorite!Robert & Lisa were great to answer any questions & make suggestions re restaurants,things to do etc. Very organized & Hope to return in the future!

Nice water views with balconies and a sun room. Good location to get to Manteo and Nags Head. Had some problems with the elevator one day, but the owner was very responsive and we could use it that day and it was totally fixed the next morning. We have stayed here before and probably will again.

The condo is beautifully decorated and the location is perfect.

We often travel to Manteo to visit our family. This property has the nicest views, attractive and comfortable furniture, beautiful decor and a very nice floor plan. We’re planning on staying here for our future visits.

The holidays are always so much fun, but they can also be very stressful. My wife and I were seeking a place to escape, recharge, and relax for a few days over Christmas. We stumbled upon Robert & Lisa's property and it was exactly what was needed. Beautiful views, cozy atmosphere, warm and inviting, everything we needed to unwind and enjoy. It was a perfect three days and we would absolutely suggest this property AND will probably be back to enjoy it in 2025. A perfect vacation.

Beautiful setting with great views. Had a wonderful time but we could not get the fireplace to light. Master suite mattress/bed was extremely comfortable. Great nights sleep every night.

A great place for 4 friends to have a relaxing and adventurous vacation!

This is a fantastic property! Beautifully decorated. Comfortable new furniture. Very clean- not a crumb to be found! Owners have thought of everything to make your stay exceptional.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is exactly as pictured. The furishings are lovely and the kitchen is super organized with everything you could need. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. The complex is quiet and well maintained and the location is great. We would stay again in a heart beat!!

We spent a great 3 day getaway at “Sounds-Fishy”. Everything was just as described. The owners provided us with timely updates and reminders during our stay. The information they provided regarding restaurants and activities was very handy. One of the restaurants on the list was O’Neils in Wanchese, which I highly recommend if you are looking for good, local seafood. You can’t go wrong if you book this location. When I get back to this area again this will be my first choice. Thank you Robert and Lisa for being such great hosts.

All communicated online regarding this VRBO was what it said it was! Definitely would book this location again!

This place was perfect for my husband and my mom’s. It had an elevator and was very comfortable, clean and quiet.

Wonderful property in a GREAT location. Thoughtfully decorated and with nice touches. The property is one that multiple generations can enjoy, including those with mobility challenges (elevator and walk-in shower option). You have nice views and balconies; the “office” area is particularly nice. The beds are very comfortable and there is a nice flow to the property. The information the owners shared about their favorite places was very helpful. We used several of their recommendations which were “spot on.” They also were very communicative and provided timely information regarding weather projections and potential impacts. My kids (13,11,10,7) had a blast; enjoying the beach, state park/Wright monument, laser tag, go-carting, and the outlets. This is in a great location and I HIGHLY recommend this property! It was a widely popular vacation with my family-thanks!

The community was very clean and appeared to be quite new.We enjoyed the fishing more than anything. Our unit was well stocked with everything we needed. The weather was hot and muggy but you can't control that. We would stay there again.

We loved our stay at this condo. The decor and views were amazing. We felt right at home. The condo was very spacious and was perfect for our family of 5. The host went above and beyond and shared their local favorites from restaurants, activities, ice cream shops etc. and described them all. Every restaurant we ate at was a recommendation by them and we were not disappointed one time. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Ps mama Kwan’s fish tacos is a must have when visiting!
