About this property

Historic Manteo House on Roanoke Sound w/ Dock!

Explore the beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks from this 2,800-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Manteo vacation rental house for 6! Nestled alongside the Roanoke Sound, the home’s prime waterfront location offers picturesque views and unrestricted access to the water. Nearby, venture out to hike, bike, paddle, or visit historical sites. With a professionally landscaped yard, a private dock, and a scenic waterfront setting, this home is sure to feel like heaven on earth!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed

Acclaimed as one of the most beautiful homes in Manteo, this historic home has been restored to a modern-day paradise. Lush greenery surrounds the property and sets the scene as you arrive at your North Carolina abode.

The professionally landscaped backyard is primed for relaxing, entertaining and all the water activities imaginable! Marvel at the Roanoke Sound from the back porch, equipped with teak dining tables and rocking chairs, or head down to the dock for a closer look. For an additional fee, you can take advantage of the home’s private dock, where you can easily access Shallow Bag Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Outfitted with antique furnishings and tasteful decor, the charm and character of the home’s exterior extends to the interior.

Prepare the catch of the day in the well-designed kitchen, which comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and a large center island that doubles as an eating counter. Pull up a stool to sip a glass of wine and watch the chef work their magic, or gather around the elegant dining table set for 6 to dine all together.

Choose from 2 large dens to decompress after a day out on the water or an afternoon exploring downtown. Prepare cocktails at the wet bar in the main living room before sitting down for a game at the card table or watching a show on the flat-screen cable TV. If you can’t agree on a channel, make use of the second flat-screen cable TV in the den.

Retreat to the bedrooms once you’ve exhausted the day’s activities. Situated on its own level, the primary bedroom offers plenty of peace and privacy. Sleep soundly in the plush king-sized bed or curl up with a good book in the reading nook.

All 3 bedrooms are brightly lit with natural light and offer water views, along with full en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets.

-- THE LOCATION --

Enjoy close-up views of Manteo’s waterfront, Festival Park, Jockey’s Ride and the Roanoke Sound from the property, or venture out and experience these amazing sites up close.

Located in the heart of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, this property is just mere steps away from downtown Manteo. Enjoy the convenience of walking to numerous farm-to-table restaurants, local art galleries and unique gift shops. Be sure to check out the scenic boardwalk while you’re there!

Walk over to the Roanoke Island Festival Park, a major area attraction celebrating the first English settlement in America. Take a trip through time as you watch the blacksmith practice their craft, partake in Elizabethan games or try your hand at woodworking. Attend a concert at the outdoor amphitheater to top off your Roanoke adventure!

Further your journey through history over at Bodie Island Lighthouse or Cape Hatteras Light.

No trip to the Outer Banks would be complete without visiting the sea creatures at North Carolina Aquarium, attending a summer performance of The Lost Colony historical drama, admiring the foliage at the Elizabethan Gardens, a day under the sun at Nags Head Beach or fishing off Jennette’s Pier.

Perfect location and house
If we could give 10 stars we would. Check in with Hugh was very easy and he responded to questions immediately. The house is equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible with daily toiletries supplied as well as necessities in the kitchen which is very helpful when only staying a short time. We were treated to waters in the fridge, coffee, pastries and wine upon our arrival. You are walking distance to the town (1-2 mins), for ice cream, shopping, tours, etc. We highly recommend the Manteo walking tour with the Sheriff and visiting the dunes for hang gliding. Coming back each night to the house to have dinner and wine on the patio while enjoying the view from the dock was very relaxing. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful and peaceful waterfront getaway
We loved our stay and highly recommend! The house and gardens are meticulously maintained with very thoughtful amenities (flowers, plenty of coffee, and a welcome bottle of wine). Beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the water and easy walking distance from restaurants and shops in town. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back!

Wonderful location and house!
This house was perfect for a family get away. Everything was lovely and perfect for a rental. All you could possibly need is there waiting for you. Towels are fluffy, beds are comfy, temperature control is easy and accurate. Views are top notch, short walk to town and close drive to all of the things to enjoy. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing house to stay in for a trip to the OBX.
