About this house rental
Situated in Manteo, this charming house for £660 per night is a great choice for your next break. Explore the beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks from this 2,800-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Manteo vacation rental house for 6! Nestled alongside the Roanoke Sound, the home’s prime waterfront location offers picturesque views and unrestricted access to the water. Nearby, venture out to hike, bike, paddle, or visit historical sites. With a professionally landscaped yard, a private dock, and a scenic waterfront setting, this home is sure to feel like heaven on earth! -- THE PROPERTY -- Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed Acclaimed as one of the most beautiful homes in Manteo, this historic home has been restored to a modern-day paradise. Lush greenery surrounds the property and sets the scene as you arrive at your North Carolina abode. The professionally landscaped backyard is primed for relaxing, entertaining and all the water activities imaginable! Marvel at the Roanoke Sound from the back porch, equipped with teak dining tables and rocking chairs, or head down to the dock for a closer look. For an additional fee, you can take advantage of the home’s private dock, where you can easily access Shallow Bag Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Outfitted with antique furnishings and tasteful decor, the charm and character of the home’s exterior extends to the interior. Prepare the catch of the day in the well-designed kitchen, which comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and a large center island that doubles as an eating counter. Pull up a stool to sip a glass of wine and watch the chef work their magic, or gather around the elegant dining table set for 6 to dine all together. Choose from 2 large dens to decompress after a day out on the water or an afternoon exploring downtown. Prepare cocktails at the wet bar in the main living room before sitting down for a game at the card table or watching a show on the flat-screen cable TV. If you can’t agree on a channel, make use of the second flat-screen cable TV in the den. Retreat to the bedrooms once you’ve exhausted the day’s activities. Situated on its own level, the primary bedroom offers plenty of peace and privacy. Sleep soundly in the plush king-sized bed or curl up with a good book in the reading nook. All 3 bedrooms are brightly lit with natural light and offer water views, along with full en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets. -- THE LOCATION -- Enjoy close-up views of Manteo’s waterfront, Festival Park, Jockey’s Ride and the Roanoke Sound from the property, or venture out and experience these amazing sites up close. Located in the heart of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, this property is just mere steps away from downtown Manteo. Enjoy the convenience of walking to numerous farm-to-table restaurants, local art galleries and unique gift shops. Be sure to check out the scenic boardwalk while you’re there! Walk over to the Roanoke Island Festival Park, a major area attraction celebrating the first English settlement in America. Take a trip through time as you watch the blacksmith practice their craft, partake in Elizabethan games or try your hand at woodworking. Attend a concert at the outdoor amphitheater to top off your Roanoke adventure! Further your journey through history over at Bodie Island Lighthouse or Cape Hatteras Light. No trip to the Outer Banks would be complete without visiting the sea creatures at North Carolina Aquarium, attending a summer performance of The Lost Colony historical drama, admiring the foliage at the Elizabethan Gardens, a day under the sun at Nags Head Beach or fishing off Jennette’s Pier. -- REST EASY WITH US -- Evolve makes it easy to find and book properties you'll never want to leave.

If we could give 10 stars we would. Check in with Hugh was very easy and he responded to questions immediately. The house is equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible with daily toiletries supplied as well as necessities in the kitchen which is very helpful when only staying a short time. We were treated to waters in the fridge, coffee, pastries and wine upon our arrival. You are walking distance to the town (1-2 mins), for ice cream, shopping, tours, etc. We highly recommend the Manteo walking tour with the Sheriff and visiting the dunes for hang gliding. Coming back each night to the house to have dinner and wine on the patio while enjoying the view from the dock was very relaxing. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful and peaceful waterfront getaway
We loved our stay and highly recommend! The house and gardens are meticulously maintained with very thoughtful amenities (flowers, plenty of coffee, and a welcome bottle of wine). Beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the water and easy walking distance from restaurants and shops in town. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back!

Wonderful location and house!
This house was perfect for a family get away. Everything was lovely and perfect for a rental. All you could possibly need is there waiting for you. Towels are fluffy, beds are comfy, temperature control is easy and accurate. Views are top notch, short walk to town and close drive to all of the things to enjoy. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing house to stay in for a trip to the OBX.

This is our first time staying in Manteo and this house is amazing! The location was perfect and so quiet. We loved fishing off the dock! We had one whole side of the house to ourselves and our guests stayed on the other side. We loved this home and hope to visit it again very soon!

My family and I stayed here for a week in August 2021. The house was spotless (certainly cleaner than my own home on any given day) and fully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. Hugh, the host, was super responsive and helpful with questions. The welcome pastries and other goodies were such a nice touch. The location couldn't have been better. Easy access to pretty much anywhere in OBX, but quiet and off-the-beaten path enough to be peaceful and relaxing. It was a wonderful place to call "home" for the week.

The hospitality and cleanliness of this home put us immediately at ease. The home’s location and views from every window are so charming that we didn’t mind the chilly weather in early spring. We’ll definitely be back. This was one of our best VRBO experiences to date.

Beautiful Historic Home
This vacation home is wonderful. We arrived to classical music playing throughout the house and wine waiting for us in the kitchen. There was breakfast food, coffee , and a refrigerator full of water, coffee creamer, etc. The caretaker really goes above and beyond. The house was extremely clean with plenty of super soft towels. The home is also spacious for a family. The location is within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this beautiful historic home.

Great home, great owner
My friends and I had a phenomenal time at this beautiful property. The house location is perfect -- right on the water and also adjacent to downtown Manteo. So it's an easy walk to restaurants and cafes. The house itself is extremely charming, clean, and spacious. The owner of the property was also extremely helpful and attentive throughout our stay. I strongly recommend.

Terrific House
We had such a nice time at this house for many reasons. First, the location is exceptions, where you are steps from the downtown area where you can find food, activities and nice walking areas. Second, being on the water is a huge advantage if you rent a small fishing boat, kayaking, etc. and Third, the house was in outstanding condition with anything and everything you could want for amenities. We would 100% recommend this home.

Paradise!
My family are frequent renters in the VRBO world across the US, and this house was by FAR the best we have experienced. From the location, to the charm of the history of the house, the layout, the yard ETC. The yard and house are just to die for and my two teenage girls all but cried when we had to leave and asked if it was too late to turn around once we arrived back in PA. We were blessed with perfect weather and lived to sit out on the dock to watch the sunrise and sunset daily.
The house is spotless and immaculate (and I am very picky) with not a spec of dirt to be found. It was beyond well stocked with anything you could possibly need, so comfortable, and the owner is a complete gem. My husband unfortunately set off the smoke alarms cooking dinner and Hugh ran right over on a Friday night to help turn off the alarms (I was mortified).
Honestly, absolutely perfect is the only way to describe this rental!!

What a beautiful home and fantastic location. The hosts went above and beyond and decorated the house with flowers and had a fridge filled with water and had baked goods for us when we arrived. The amenities were fantastic. I absolutely loved the history of the home. I was extremely sad to leave. We are frequent travelers and this was by far one of my favorite homes. Thank you for being incredible hosts, we are extremely grateful.

What’s better than home?
I want to start by saying it rained the entire time but I could not have been more relaxed. This has to be the most beautiful place to just sit and watch the rain while drinking coffee. I want to live here. My husband and I have stayed in lots of hotels and rentals and this one has it all. The fridge was stocked with bottle water, coffee creamer, condiments, and even butter. It was nice to have “the basics” on hand. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also stocked with extra pillows, blankets, towels, toilet paper (sorry, not used to seeing TP after COVID), and plenty of toiletries too!
The house itself is just beautiful, inside and out. The light from the windows, the views of the water, the privacy of the backyard, and the landscaping all add to its appeal. The layout of the house worked well for us too. There is one bedroom attached to a living area on one side of the house and on the other side there are two bedrooms over another living area. My parents took the single bedroom, while my husband and I took the bedroom across from our boys. We were able to put them to bed at their usual time and converse with my parents in the separate living area without disturbing the kids.
Our boys had fun running through the backyard, and fishing off the dock. There are great restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance and a playground near the lighthouse. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Hidden Gem
This is a hidden gem of a property. The location of this character filled home on Shallowbag Bay, the brief walk to all of the restaurants and shops in Manteo, combined with short drive to the OBX beaches made for a stress free and relaxed long weekend for our family of four. Kids (9&10) enjoyed searching for crabs near the dock and caught their first croaker, pinfish, and red drum without having to leave the property.
