Shallowbag Bay 505, Sounds-Fishy, is a 3 bedroom 2 and a half bath condo located in the premier marina waterfront community of Shallowbag Bay Club on Roanoke Island in Manteo, NC offering water front and marina views. The condo unit is on the top floor, one level, with elevator access and is one of the more ideally located condos offering the best all-around views. The rear deck overlooks the waterfront sound, Historic Manteo, and pans east across the sound to Jockeys Ridge. The front deck features a large covered porch and deck overlooking the marina. We love the top floor as it allows the best views, breezes, sunrises and sunsets.

The condo is renovated with a bright, cozy, beachy feel. It is tastefully decorated with fun beach themed cheerful décor. The living room has a couch, love seat, chair and a large flat screen Smart TV with DIRECTV service. Sliding glass doors bring you outside to a deck accessible from the master suite as well. There are covered and open sections with 6 bar height chairs, 2 pub tables and 2 Adirondack chairs with a small table. Perfect for morning sun or afternoon shade. The back deck also has 4 bar height chairs and a pub table, perfect for sipping a drink and watching the sunset.

The fully stocked kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a kitchen bar area with 4 bar stools overlooking the open floor plan combining the living room, dining room and kitchen into one open space. The dining room has a large table that seats 6.

The master suite has a king size bed, private attached full bath with over sized shower, flat screen TV, dresser and usable closet. Sliding glass doors open to outside deck with marina, sound and marsh views.

Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed, with attached full bath shared with Bedroom 3. Bedroom 3 has 2 twin size beds. The bedrooms share the attached full bath with tub/shower. Both have flat screen TV, dressers, nightstands, and usable closets. Both have sliding glass doors that open to an outside deck with sound front views, perfect for enjoying the evening sunset.

If you need a minute to yourself there is a bright sunroom with beautiful views of the sound. You can close the door and have a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee or get a little work done at a desk, in peaceful surroundings.

The famous Outer Banks beaches, attractions and an endless supply of restaurants options are in close proximity, just a short car ride from our location. The many public beach accesses, most with free parking allow the convenience of parking close to the beach. Many beaches with bathrooms and bath houses. We like using OBXbeachaccess .com for exact locations and amenities at each access.

Outer Banks is also famous for their fishing and is a fisherman's paradise. There are many opportunities for in-shore, offshore or pier fishing. This area of the Outer Banks offers world class fleets of charter boat opportunities. Launching points for charter fishing include marinas in Wanchese and Pirates Cove Marina in Manteo, the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, and Hatteras Inlet. Also, if you bring your boat, (up to 21ft.), or trailer, parking and day dockage is available (must register in advance, no extra fee, ask for details). Larger boat dockage is available through the marina.

We love that the restaurants, shopping, waterfront and attractions of downtown Manteo which are located minutes away and are accessible by car, bike or a short walk. Many an afternoon or evening can be spent wandering the downtown areas boutiques, bookstore and gift shops. The area is rich in attractions and local history.

Not to be missed is the Saturday farmers market (mid-May through mid-Sept 17, 9am-1pm), in downtown Manteo on the waterfront, at George Washington Creef Park. Local art, fresh produce and baked goods are available to name a few.

For coffee lovers, please visit our local coffee shops. The Front Porch Cafe (0.3 miles) and Charis Coffee Company both (1 mile) for your convenience. There is a grocery store, CVS, ABC store, and many other restaurants and shopping all within a few minutes of the condo.

Manteo is rich in attractions, as we are located so close to some of our favorites like the NC Aquarium, Roanoke Island Festival Park, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabethan Gardens, and the Lost Colony Outdoor Drama to name a few and all here on Roanoke Island.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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!
