We stayed at the little life boat house for our honeymoon last July. It was the perfect place. The cottage the island, the people were all wonderful!! It is such a laid back island but plenty to do and see. The history is rich and the scenery breathtaking!!

This place surpassed our expectations! Initially, we were going to stay at the motel the month before. We had discovered Manteo during the Christmas holidays and fell in love with the small, quaint town. In early February, we lost one of our beloved dogs and wanted to to getaway to mend our hearts. We found this pet-friendly property but cancelled... More

3 star because It is close to the beach. we asked for non-smoking room but the room smelled really bad. I had to go to store and buy a candle and room freshener. Front desk/Tiki bar was always abandoned. WiFi connections was not good.

We spent 3 nights at the Endless Summer cottage and had a fabulous time. Graham was very nice and helpful during our stay. We had a problem with the heat and there was someone there to check it very quickly. The cottage was decorated really cute with a surfer theme carried thru out the cottage. 2 large bathrooms and plenty... More

We stayed in the Endless Summer Cottage. It is very cute and the amenities are nice. Customer service was fine and we enjoyed our stay. It was "off" season and the location was good. We enjoyed being closer to the attractions since it was too cold for the beach.

We stayed at the Little Boat House Cottage on Roanoke Island, Historic Manteo. There are Three absolutely beautiful Cottages next to each other. These are different than the Motel just a few blocks away, so Don't confuse the Two. The Motel received Lower reviews, so be aware that I am reviewing the Cottages. These Three Cottages are New, Beautiful, Clean... More

This place has a good location at reasonable prices. We stayed for 2 nights in the motel (not private cottages which looked awesome!) and it was a good stay. The staff was nice and helpful and the place was all around very clean. I would stay there again!

Stayed in the Guest House, wonderful rooms and the nicest people work there. Quite and very accomodating! With-in walking distance to the downtown area and a short drive to the beaches and the Lost Colony play. I reccommend this motel for anyone.

We spent two nights in the Wright Cottage. It was clean and cute and close enough to the historic section that you could walk. Loved the rain shower. We chose this hotel because it is pet friendly. This was really nice because we have an older dog we don't kennel. There was plenty of room to walk her. My cousin... More
