The Seabiscuit* Walk to Festival Park & Downtown
New to Seaside for 2025! Beautiful Retreat in Manteo Nestled in the heart of historic Manteo, this charming coastal home offers a peaceful retreat with quality finishes, comfortable living spaces, and a walkable location that brings the best of Roanoke Island right to your doorstep. From the moment you arrive, the beautifully landscaped front yard and inviting front porch with classic rocking chairs set the tone for a relaxing Outer Banks getaway.
Inside, the Main Level welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors, a spacious Living Area with a cozy decorative fireplace*, and a well-appointed Kitchen featuring white marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove—perfect for preparing fresh, local seafood dinners. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sunny Dining Area offers space to gather for meals, and a convenient half bathroom completes this level. Enjoy card games or board games at the table by the window for a perfectly relaxing and rejuvenating vacation. The decor in this home is thoughtfully curated, whisking you away to a world outside of time where all that matters is the sound of the birds at the soundfront and the cool breeze to great you off the water.
Upstairs, you'll find a thoughtful layout ideal for families or couples traveling together. Two Queen Bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a shower/tub combo, double white marble sinks, and stylish fixtures. A dedicated desk nook makes it easy to catch up on remote work or plan your next day's adventures. The private King Ensuite is a luxurious escape with a four-poster bed and a Full Bathroom featuring a marble double vanity and a spacious glass shower.
Step outside to enjoy the coastal breeze from the private front porch, where evenings are best spent sipping sweet tea while watching the world go by in a cozy rocking chair. The back porch opens to a pretty backyard with blooming hydrangeas and other well-kept plantings that add to the tranquil atmosphere. An Outdoor Shower is located between the main house and the adjacent apartment—handy after a day at the beach or walking along the nearby boardwalk.
Downtown Manteo: A Hidden Gem of Uniqueness and Marvel One of the home's most unique features is its location—just down the street from the Manteo soundfront. A scenic boardwalk connects you to the town's vibrant waterfront area, where you'll find shops, restaurants, Festival Park, and even a playground for the kids. Whether you're here to explore local history, enjoy waterfront sunsets, or simply relax in a beautiful and well-crafted home, this Manteo retreat is the perfect place to make lasting Outer Banks memories.
Located on historic Roanoke Island, this beautiful home is in the perfect location for learning more about the history of the Outer Banks. Pay a visit to the beautiful Elizabethan Gardens or stop by Fort Raleigh National Historic Site to discover how life on the island was for early settlers. The Lost Colony is an award-winning live theater performance about the famous lost colonists of Roanoke Island and is a great outing for the whole family. Kids will also love a visit to the NC Aquarium where they can see sea turtles, otters, sharks, fish, and many other marine animals. Downtown Manteo offers great shopping and tasty restaurants all with a spectacular view of the water. You can even visit the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse (one of the 5 Lighthouses of the Outer Banks). When you want to venture into the main area of the Outer Banks, you are just a short drive away from South Nags Head and can easily take a day trip North toward Corolla or South toward Ocracoke. However you decide to spend your OBX vacation, this home will be a dream come true.
