We stay here a couple of times per year when we visit the Outer Banks. It is always welcoming and clean, and convenient to everything in Manteo. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms and bathrooms with nice coastal decor. Also loe the outdoor fire pit and tiki bar and the old fashioned front porch with rope swings.

The property was Immaculate and well worthwhile. Tara was very friendly and more accommodating than any hotel I have stayed at in years. The only thing I saw that was a little off was the access to the shower controls - could not get the water running without getting the cold water a bit.

If your looking for a motel that's more like a retreat, this is it. I have stayed here before and i always look forward to the welcoming by the staff. I like the fact that im close to the beaches, birds at pea island and the bears at alligator river.
