The famous Outer Banks beaches, attractions and an endless supply of restaurants options are in close proximity, just a short car ride from our location. The many public beach accesses, most with free parking allow the convenience of parking close to the beach. Many beaches with bathrooms and bath houses. We like using OBXbeachaccess .com for exact locations and amenities at each access.

Outer Banks is also famous for their fishing and is a fisherman's paradise. There are many opportunities for in-shore, offshore or pier fishing. This area of the Outer Banks offers world class fleets of charter boat opportunities. Launching points for charter fishing include marinas in Wanchese and Pirates Cove Marina in Manteo, the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, and Hatteras Inlet. Also, if you bring your boat, (up to 21ft.), or trailer, parking and day dockage is available (must register in advance, no extra fee, ask for details). Larger boat dockage is available through the marina.

We love that the restaurants, shopping, waterfront and attractions of downtown Manteo which are located minutes away and are accessible by car, bike or a short walk. Many an afternoon or evening can be spent wandering the downtown areas boutiques, bookstore and gift shops. The area is rich in attractions and local history.

Not to be missed is the Saturday farmers market (mid-May through mid-Sept 17, 9am-1pm), in downtown Manteo on the waterfront, at George Washington Creef Park. Local art, fresh produce and baked goods are available to name a few.

For coffee lovers, please visit our local coffee shops. The Front Porch Cafe (0.3 miles) and Charis Coffee Company both (1 mile) for your convenience. There is a grocery store, CVS, ABC store, and many other restaurants and shopping all within a few minutes of the condo.

Manteo is rich in attractions, as we are located so close to some of our favorites like the NC Aquarium, Roanoke Island Festival Park, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabethan Gardens, and the Lost Colony Outdoor Drama to name a few and all here on Roanoke Island.
