    Once I figured out how gwt into the room after a couple of helpful calls to the owner, I was very pleased with how well equipped it was, the room(s) had everything I needed even if I just wanted to stay in.

    This was a wonderful find - walking distance to Manteo. The décor is a cozy mix of old world nautical and Homegoods accents. The garden truly is a delight with a cozy gazebo to curl up with a cocktail and book. Firm, but super comfortable bed. The bathroom was super clean and contemporary - so rare in most private rentals.

    Very nicely decorated apartment. Garden area was beautiful with covered seating to sit outside. Walk to the water and shopping at the end of the street. The only downside was you could hear the people above you walking around in the middle of the night and early morning. We did enjoy our stay here

    Space is two rooms with a bathroom. Was fantastic location for us. 1/2 mile from the music pavilion. Downtown even closer. Host was super attentive to a TV problem and came over to fix it. Has a small fridge with microwave All we needed because we ate out. Brought breakfast stuff which is all we needed. Soundproofing was good. A person could watch TV while the other went to sleep All you need to have a great weekend with your partner.

    Nice and clean, there happened to be some exterior construction going on during my stay but workers were nice and didn't start too early. Just meant I had to park across the street. Location is good and a short walk to downtown shops. Would stay again.

    Owner pro-actively contacted me to make sure I was all set for entry. Unfortunately, there was a Palmetto bug issue, which I informed the owner about and I assume it was addressed.

    This was a comfortable accommodation with an enjoying garden to hang out in. The walkability to all the cute town of Manteo was fantastic. We enjoyed walking to the coffee shop everyday and the distillery across the street was a fun place to spend the evenings. It is an easy drive to all of the OBX and we liked calling this home for a couple of days. One suggestion, move the kitchenette items from the bedroom and into the living room area with the dining table. I would have enjoyed being able to make my coffee not in the room my husband was trying to sleep in or hearing the refrigerator all night long. But this was a minor nuisance of our stay

    Super convenient location to explore the quaint village of Manteo. Walk to the shops, restaurants and historical sights. Wonderfully restored interior space in an older home. Nicely appointed, comfortable bed, and great a/c. Would highly recommend.

    This is perfect for a couple seeking quiet, cozy comfort. Walkable to downtown and your nightcap to go is across the street at the distillery. Close drive to the beach but the advantage over oceanfront is being able to walk to good eats and bars. Try Firetender, great service pizza and smash burgers. This location feels less touristy than points north in obx and we will stay again

    The suite was very nice , clean and easy access to everything! The only downside was you could hear the guest upstairs and their bed frame needed some DW40 ( if you know what I mean ) . I would definitely recommend this beautiful suite and would stay again

    Not having used a non-hotel lodging arrangement before, we were cautious about staying in one. I chose this property based on the attractive pictures and excellent reviews, which did not disappoint. The property was so cute and exactly as the pictures show - very clean and well decorated, with older home charm. We liked the location, the area was quiet and walkable to downtown Manteo, and just a quick drive to Nags Head attractions. We enjoyed this more than a generic hotel and felt we got more for less money, and would stay here again if we travel to the area.
