Short Walk to Downtown Manteo ~ Dog friendly!

Comfortable, cute, and convenient spot in Manteo. Impeccably neat and tidy and perfect for myself and adult daughter. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want if you're planning on cooking for yourself. It sits right on the main road in Manteo, but wasn't too noisy. Andy was attentive and available and I will definitely be staying here again.
