Clean, and looks like it has been recently updated. New furnishings too.

The description and pictures of the property were 100% accurate. Short walk to waterfront, restaurants, and shopping. Communication with owner was timely and accurate. Place was clean, quiet, with a pretty garden area. We will definitely return!

The property was as advertised and more. Very clean and well maintained efficiency. Great location. Beautiful and well maintained plantings in the court yard area of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We travel to the Outer Banks often and have fallen in love with the area and especially Manteo. Probably one of our best and most relaxing stays. Communication with the host was excellent. We plan on keeping this property on our hope-to-revisit-soon list!

Exactly as pictured! Good/ fast communication and I LOVED that it’s a short walk to shopping / restaurants and a great rum bar across the street. Definitely recommend this stay for a quiet stay that’s a short drive to the busy areas.

Great

We loved staying here. The location was perfect. We went to a concert at Roanoke Island Festival Park and it was an easy convenient walk there. Walkable to downtown where there are shops and restaurants. There is a great rum distillery close by. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and allowed for a good nights sleep. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a great time. The room was cozy and the gardens were beautiful. Being close to the waterfront meant we could walk to everything and not use our car at all. We also enjoyed biking.

The property was top notch! The Host went above and beyond by contacting me about an error I had made while booking the property and assisted me in getting it fixed with VRBO. The gardens were unbelievable. Thank you so much for making my stay excellent.

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful rental property for our anniversary. The place is very clean and cozy. The yard is beautifully landscaped with flower gardens and a nice gazebo. Located only a few blocks from the downtown restaurants, waterfront, coffee shops, and gift shops, we walked anywhere we went in downtown Manteo. We will definitely be hoping to stay here again soon! I recommend The Lost Colony Tavern for dinner and the Pelican sandwich shop for lunch, both are delicious!

Listing and pictures were as described. Point of contact was friendly and helpful. Inside was better than expected, very clean and bed was nice and comfy. Nicely located in Manteo. Easily accessible to downtown and nearby beaches. Highly recommended! Hope to return in the future!

Beautiful room loved the woodwork and decor very clean and comfortable

Lovely area

This is a very well kept property located in a very convenient spot. The owners were very easy to deal with and we had a wonderful time.

This property is not only comfortable and well thought out. It is beautifully decorated and looks out over a lovely secret garden. Complete with a pretty gazebo! A short walk to Manteo's waterfront shops and restaurants. Enjoyed it very much!

The place was spacious and clean. Patrick was helpful in ensuring he wad everything that we needed, even texting us to make sure we got checked in. Short walk to downtown Manteo, 10 minute drive to the beach. Would recommend!

Good location, could walk to restaurants and local stores. Easy to get to Outer Banks Islands and beaches.

The process of renting was streamlined, and very thorough. I was emailed confirmation information and instructions to access the unit. I was very impressed with the tasteful, quality furnishings and the cleanliness. Parking was extremely convenient in a lovely neighborhood where I felt very safe and secure. Great linens and lighting. The lawn and flower gardens were gorgeous with an inviting gazebo. I will definitely recommend to others and hope to return for another getaway someday. Thank you Secret Garden!

Walking around Manteo was beautiful and so many great places to visit, eat, shop, and explore. We loved how close it was to the outer banks distillery. I would highly recommend checking them out! ;)

This was our first experience using VRBO and our first visit to Manteo. We were pleasantly surprised by both. The Uptowner was perfect. Comfortable, cottage by the sea vibe in a quiet hamlet just a short walk from restaurants, shopping and the marina. Perfect location for OBX adventures as well. Thanks to Patrick for a wonderful stay. We will be recommending to friends and family!

My wife and my had a last-minute change of plans and were pleasantly surprised by Patrick, Rufus, Roxie and family’s property. Room was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for quick breakfasts in the morning before heading out for the day - and for relaxing at night. Beautiful garden in the common area, and the property is centrally located in Manteo for easy access (15-60 mins) from nearly every OBX beach. Would recommend as a great couple’s stay..

The area was beautiful, the room was alsp beautiful & amazing and had great air conditioning. The beaches were very close, 10 mins or less away and just what we were looking for. There were many shops and activities to go to snd do in the area. Great coffee shops and breakfast places like Front Porch Cafe and Charis Coffee. The Host, Patrick, was very helpful and kind as well. We wished that we went to their family restaurant right there but maybe next time! The dunes were a fun sight and place to visit, they are right there in Jockey's Ridge State Park. There are hangliders and a class for hangliding right in the park too. Lots of fun. 10/10.

My wife and I visited this VRBO property for a quick end-of-summer vacation and enjoyed it immensely! Spacious room with good amenities, location convenient to many good places and things to see and do, and when we had several questions about check in, Patrick was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Also enjoyed using the $20/day gift cards at The Dunes restaurant -- great food and friendly staff. While there, we absolutely loved "The Lost Colony" play/drama on the property of Ft Raleigh National Park, and enjoyed visiting Wright Brothers National Monument, the Corolla beach lighthouse area, Bodie Lighthouse, and were especially mesmerized by the huge dune sands of Jockey State Park, where we watched a beautiful sunset one night. We recommend this property highly!

What a perfect place to stay off the busy beach, but close by and in a town full of charm and history. This was a great apartment to stay in for the weekend- super clean and comfortable. A beautiful walk into town for dinner each night and really enjoyed the Walking Tour of Manteo.

Excellent accomodations, location and hosts who really care. If you are thinking of an OBX vacation, stay in Manteo...with Patrick and Roxie!

Like: the room and the property were amazing. The surrounding area was also beautiful. friendliness of the cleaning staff and the residents of the downtown area Dislike: check in was slightly confusing in the the restaurant was closed where we were supposed to check in.

Excellent location, very clean, every thing needed was included.
