Great stay
Mary and all the staff were amazing and helpful. From dinner suggestions, offering to loan a bicycle (which I used to ride to the piggly Wiggly for some provisions and to Ft Roanaoke to check that out), to happy hour wine and cheese we were super happy with our choice. Also it’s right next to the marina and we had our boat there.

Tranquil family stay
Nice quaint and quiet place waterfront.
Excellent service at the continental breakfast.
Didn’t have any interaction with desk staff and the desk is open very limited hours - but that didn’t affect our stay. Perfect place in Manteo

This place is a gem in the center of downtown Manteo. It is close to so many sites including quick access to the beaches on Nags Head. Accommodations were excellent and the staff knowledgeable and friendly.

The inn is a great spot on the water and walkable to anything you would want to do, see, or need in Manteo. Definitely make time to eat in the 1587 lounge. Great service and food..... that is saying a lot for us because we normally are biased to cooking ourselves and very rarely find restaurants impressive or worth returning to. Our meal here was both. The staff was friendly and informative. Check in and out was easy with texted instructions. Room was clean and had everything you migjt n3ed for a short stay. Fridge, kurig, iron, and extra pillows. The only thing that I would have liked was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or toiletry bag. But this might have just been the case in our room.
