We loved our stay at the Croatan Cottage. The house is very well kept. It was clean and comfortable. The location is terrific. The house is right in downtown Manteo. We will be returning.

The house was beautiful and the location was ideal. We could walk to everything in town. Our little puppy enjoyed the fenced in yard. Excellent all around!

Positives: This house is really in a great location! Lots of little shops within walking distance. Right next door to a boat ramp, lots of walking trails, within 10 minutes of the oceanfront and other activities. It is very clean & nicely decorated with special touches you would find in a highly rated hotel, such as fresh flowers, a welcoming plate of cookies, & embroidered towels. Water bowl filled for the dog. The hostess stocked the kitchen with a lot of extras, such as paper products, coffee, creamer & water in the refrigerator, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent etc. Speaking of the kitchen, it was nicely equipped…better than most other VRBO’s I have rented. Communication is great. The hostess lives nearby & is extremely responsive to any issues. Downsides? I took off a star on cleanliness mainly because of the yard. The grass was nicely cut, but the bushes were overgrown - and grass trimming was needed. In fairness, I don’t know if weather played a part, as it was so hot. (FYI - A/C worked great!) If you have an aversion to dragon flies, be warned that they are everywhere - at least in July. They did not bother us. The kitchen is small (it is a 1920’s house) and so too is the refrigerator. It is fairly tall, just not deep. It met our needs. Also, I had to keep fighting ants on countertops, but again, it was hot and rainy. Overall, a great stay and we would stay again!

Perfect for our family. Will be back with our boat next year. Thanks Dee!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. Knowing we were coming with two dogs, there was a full bowl of water in the kitchen along with treats for us when we arrived. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. The house had all of the amenities we expected.

We just returned from a stay at this property. We brought our two dogs with us and we all had a terrific time. The house dates back to the 1920's/30's and is beautiful. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, sleeps six comfortably. It has all the amenities you would need plus more. A nice fenced yard was terrific. Truly outstanding experience. It's located a short walking distance to the downtown business area with lots of fun shops. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The only "complaint" we would have is that the furniture is not the most comfortable. The couch and chairs in the living room are not comfy nor are the two rocking chairs on the front porch. But that is the only complaint I can muster. This is a wonderful place to stay. You will love it.

This place was amazing! They left homemade cookies and had some unexpected lovely, thoughtful touches! They clearly think about the details and the guests and what they might need. The owner communicated beforehand about getting in and access. It was clean and cute. We all really enjoyed our stay.

The house was unique and beautiful and in the perfect location, which was walking distance to all of downtown Manteo. We loved the intricacies of the home and the fresh baked cookies were a special touch. Thank you!
