We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Manteo! It was clean and tastefully decorated, and the size and layout worked well for the two of us. We appreciated the private entrance and quiet neighborhood, and we were close to downtown Manteo and to the beaches. Lisa was an awesome host! She was very friendly and responded quickly to our questions, and she took the extra time to make recommendations to help us make the most of our trip. We would definitely stay at the Manteo apartment again!

A Private Garden Hideaway

AngelaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Where to start, wow! Barbara was so prompt and responsive to me booking last minute! She contacted with check in instructions and offered suggestions for what to check out while around! She absolutely exceeded my expectations for a host!! As far as for the location, I was a single female traveler and felt absolutely safe within this neighborhood and the town of Manteo, so safe I didn’t even lock the doors over my stay! The outdoor shower was the perfect way to unwind. Location is super close proximity to Nags Head beach but was a very reasonable price without having to rent a big place! Cannot wait to make plans to book this place in the Fall! Perfect spot for 2 people exploring the surrounding area!
