Friendly check in, we had a suite but disappointing that although full kitchen there is no dining table & chairs. There is a small sofa with small table tray and a pull out table on wheels with computer chair, so eating a meal tricky. No easy chairs either. Wish i had just booked a standard room. Breakfast not to my taste To get to beach you have to cross a road and obtain access via their swimming pool and boardwalk.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a longer trip to the USA. What a beautiful location & place! We were lucky to have a room which looked out onto the lighthouse. We loved the spacious room & the old furniture, it was all very fitting for the location. It was lovely to sit & read in the veranda rockers in the warm afternoons after a busy day out! The level of hospitality was excellent from the housekeepers & we liked being able to help ourselves to breakfast & drinks from the 'help yourself'...

Clint the owner greeted us and made us feel special. He and his team truly knows the meaning of hospitality. We had two rooms for the four of us. Both were superb. We also had a tour of the other rooms and all were beautiful. I work in high end hospitality and this place is fabulous. Clint also gave us some really good tips on where to dine. Spot on. Anyone visiting the Manteo area should book this place. A gem for sure. The attention to detail in each room is sublime.
