Tranquil family stay

Nice quaint and quiet place waterfront. Excellent service at the continental breakfast. Didn’t have any interaction with desk staff and the desk is open very limited hours - but that didn’t affect our stay. Perfect place in Manteo

We loved how close we were to the festival! The Inn was beautiful, clean and cozy! The atmosphere and the staff were 10 out of 10! I would highly recommend this establishment and would come back. It’s right on the water and it was amazing to be so close to the fireworks on July 4th!!!!
