Home Base for a Concert

We really enjoyed our stay. This studio apartment was very clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to the festival park, the Manteo waterfront, shops, and a few restaurants and delis. We were surprised to find some waters and drinks in the frig and a bottle of wine as well. Very appreciated. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect for a downtown Manteo Stay

We stayed for a weekend to attend an event at the Roanoke Island Festival Park, and the location was perfect. We could walk to the Festival Park, as well as to several restaurants and the coffee shop was literally right downstairs. The apartment had practically everything you could want, including basic toiletries, a fan, and kitchen essentials. The only thing I didn’t see provided was a hair dryer. The unit is obviously well cared for and made for a very comfortable stay. Our only critique is that the living room rug did not appear to have been vacuumed prior to our stay. Everywhere else in the unit was impeccably cleaned, so we think this probably just an oversight. And thankfully a vacuum was in the laundry area, so it was an easy fix. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. Thank you for providing such a wonderful spot for our visit!

Exceeded Our Expectations and Beyond!!

There is simply not enough positive feedback I could convey about our stay at Greg and Lauri’s VRBO! First, I would like to note my exceeding gratitude on Laurie’s flexibility with our schedule. We had unforeseen issues and she was quite accommodating. I was surprisingly shocked at how quaint and charming the town of Manteo was! In all honesty, I was a little nervous staying here, as we had wanted the Outer Banks experience, but I could not be more pleased that we chose this location. It was as if we had a vacation within a vacation, and the town offered a sweet and charming vibe, coupled with the best seafood and restaurants that we had on our entire trip. We were taken aback when we entered the VRBO suite. It was undoubtedly one of the BEST layouts I have seen. The ceilings were very tall, everything was newly updated, and all craftsman details were carefully made. Cleanliness is extremely important as a traveler, and I was pleased to find that it was impeccable in this facet. Lori had placed all items that we could possibly need such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, body spray, K-cups, dish detergent, and even a bottle of red and white wine (chilled) depending on our preference (along with several types of other fun beers)! What an outstanding and one of a kind experience. I could not have been more pleased. We were even able to go downstairs and meet them personally! I would make a point to come back to Manteo just to stay at this suite again.

Cute, convenient apartment in the center of it all

Clean, cute, 1bedroom condo on top of some quaint shops. All the shops close by 5/6 pm so not a lot of foot traffic or noise. Right in the heart of downtown Manteo with beautiful walking trails, close to nags head, pea island and rodanthe. The hosts are thoughtful and had everything for convenience. Will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful

The place was beautiful and the location was perfect. Walking to shops and restaurants was so easy. The waterfront was a block away. There was a pavilion you could look right at from the balcony or sit at the benches next to it. They had music on the weekend. The owner was super friendly, they even had wine and water in the fridge. You won't be disappointed in this nice place.
