We splurged on the charcuterie board upon arrival which was 100% worth it. From 4-5pm they had happy hour with complementary wine and appetizers. The Inn owners were so nice and offered great recommendations for things to see and do in the area. We took their suggestion to have dinner at Salt and Cyprus with waterfront views and great cocktails. In the morning, the inn's breakfast was perfect. Fresh fruit, homemade muffin, coffee, juice, biscuits and gravy, and scrambled eggs. With our short stay, we ran out of time to try out their fire pits and take a bike ride through town. Next time we'll have to stay at least two nights!

The rooms were comfortable and the staff was so nice. It just felt like home, but I'm from another place and this was manteo N.C. The lobby even had a history! The original owner was very kind to people who needed a place to stay, so he would sometimes give tenants work. A way of singing for your supper. The art in the lobby was done by one of the tenants in lue of paying for his rent. When the business was sold, the new owners thought it to be a good idea to hold onto it for its historical value of this awesome hotel.

The pier itself was rebuilt after a hurricane wiped it out over a decade ago. There's a small aquarium with fish you'd find swimming underneath the pier itself, too, which is air conditioned, and a snack shop and huge gift shop. If fishing is your jam, they'll hook you up with everything you need for a day of casting and catching. Say hey to the friendly pelicans, maybe toss them a spare fish if you've got it.

We've been doing takeout from Sugar Shack for a number of years when we're in Nags Head. The fish…read moreis usually fresh and freshly prepared, perfect for a quick takeout dinner. This year, we were surprised to see an online ordering option which we quickly took advantage of. It was nice to be able to place an order online early in the day for a dinner time pickup, and other than a little confusion about menu options (which necessitated a quick call that easily resolved the confusion), the online ordering was easy. I arrived at the appointed pick up time, and was immediately told it would be 15 more minutes as they were in the middle of a rush. (The three young men working there were clearly working as fast as they could to fill orders!). In the meantime, I enjoyed checking out the small inside, complete with fresh fish displayed) and a walk around the surrounding dock. We finally got our order about 20-25 minutes after the requested time. After a five minute drive back to the house, we dug in. The fried entrees in our order were all good, except for an order of fried okra which still had some raw batter. The grilled entrees were okay, but overcooked, ranging from mildly overcooked to nearly inedible. Out of our nine entree orders, all were correct except for one which had an incorrect side. Overall, this was a disappointing experience from a place we've loved over the years. We'll certainly try again, but I hope for a much better experience.

The one recommendation I will make is that the houses need mirrors in the guest rooms. That was a huge issue for the wedding party, family members and friends staying in the houses. We ended up buying some for our stay since the only mirrors were in the small bathrooms. Also, there isn't any area for guests to park and most surrounding areas are 'Tow Zones'. We found spots but they were 2 blocks from the house which was inconvenient. This is a wonderful location for large families, perhaps reunions, or just a vacation.

We easily visited Corolla, Duck and Kitty Hawk while also enjoying Manteo. We would love to stay here again in the future! The Inn itself is very clean and has a lot of interesting history that Lee (the manager) will happily share with you. The rooms are well kept and super clean with plenty of amenities available. The continental breakfast is thoughtfully provided with fresh fruit salad and an array of cereal, bread and other options. They also have plenty of coffee and a tea station that I particularly loved with an array of options and even teapots on hand. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of blooming flowers and green space to enjoy yourself and hang out. We particularly liked the very friendly koi in the koi pond which came over to say hi when we approached.

It is in the middle of the mirror. 5-Large stain on ceiling. 6-Could use another hook for the towel in the bathroom. Only one hook to hang a towel is not helpful when you have two people and you want us to reuse your towels. Otherwise stay was pleasant, bed comfortable. I was disappointed that they didn't offer me a ten percent discount for not having Wi-Fi, a working phone, and a lock that did not LOCK. June 2025
