Beach chairs and umbrellas available for you to use during the day, and when you return you can rinse off in the outdoor shower available in the garden/backyard area of the hotel. That's what I liked most about my stay- it felt quaint and homey. The room was fine, perhaps a bit dated, but the bed was comfy and the view from the balcony was lovely! I would definitely stay again!

The Scarborough House Inn, not to be confused with the Scarborough Inn (a hotel nearby) , is a…read morecute, quaint inn nestled on a residential street in the heart of Manteo. I love the building with its weathered shaker shingles, bright green door, and welcoming walkway lined with flowerpots. It looked like something out of a movie, beautiful! Inside, the lobby was dim, full of antiques, dark wood, vintage Tiffany lamps, Oriental rugs, faded chintz, a cuckoo clock and abundant in English charm. The owner of the inn was "off duty" but she left our keys and towels on the huge heirloom desk in the parlor. Talk about trusting your visitors... this was a sweet surprise. Our room was just as charming as the lobby, appointed with aged floral wallpaper, red and white checkered calico quilts on the beds, vintage furnishings and pictures of a bygone era. It was certainly cozy and warm. What could've improved was the twin bed I slept in... it wasn't very comfortable as it was saggy... new mattress please, smiley face! My friend's queen bed was comfy though, she said. Another thing I would have appreciated is a set of soft, matching towels. Although the bathroom was clean, the towels were rough, mix matched, and worn. This is an easy fix to take this inn up a notch! We only stayed one night, and when we checked out, again the phantom innkeeper was nowhere to be seen. While I appreciate the trustworthiness of the owner allowing its guests to check themselves in and out, we did encounter a couple of issues that would have warranted face-to-face contact. Next door lives a relative of the owner, I believe, and they have the yappiest little dog I've ever heard. No need for a wake up call here, lol! With a couple of improvements and a bit of sprucing, I think this idyllic country inn could easily be 5 stars! Maybe upon my next visit, I can meet the owner and they can earn that elusive 5th star *!!

When you cross that bridge and roll the windows down all your worries seems to blow right out Every year I see all these great unique spots I want to stop and explore such as Peace of the Past on 460 or Carolina Charm in Currituck ... Every year my husband just flys right on by them I decided to take an overnight trip and stop at each and every unique place I've always wanted to explore for the past 15 plus years . I get my good friend involved and on board . She's always up for a road trip . That's how I stumbled upon this quaint little place . We both like Tea Rooms and B&B's so I started calling and most places would not accommodate an overnight stay. A minimum of 2 days were required. An owner to one B&B suggested the Scarborough House Inn not to be confused with Scarborough Inn . I expressed my appreciation and quickly looked up the number to see if I could book my reservations.(it was Wednesday and we were leaving the next day) I was so elated that the lady on the phone was happy to accommodate us for just one night . She suggested the room with a queen bed and a twin . All the rooms are antique inspired. Although not a B&B , it has all the charm of one. (because of not serving breakfast. It has English country cottage charm . We arrived later that evening and on the desk in the lobby was a note to me from Ruth along with my key to Room 3 . The room was cool and quite charming more than I even expected . We had a small refrigerator / freezer , microwave , coffee pot ,TV and a small table to eat at . The room was a nice size and the decor will take you back in time . From the quilts on the bed to the 4 poster queen bed give you a feeling of home even though your away from home. So quaint and charming . I look forward to planning another trip to Manteo and booking my accommodations here at the Inn.

With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, there was plenty of room for everyone. The location was perfect, situated right on the beach, and close proximity to stores, restaurants, and the Wright Brothers Memorial. The Wifi was great, supporting 8 devices at a time. The parking beneath the building kept the cars clean and cool. Beach lockers near the parking kept us from having to drag everything to and from the room every day. Both pools were great. The office people were friendly and easy to work with. The only negative was that the game room advertised in the online site, and with a sign in the parking lot, didn't exist. They'd gotten rid of it. That was disappointing for the 6 teenagers with us.

So the king bed was caved in and broken when we arrived in the nice bedroom... housekeeping just made it and moved on... this is how maintenance fixed it yesterday with no tools. We are traveling with an 84yo with mobility issues that is now in the bunk bed room. This is night two on the floor after promising several times that it was going to be handled right away. What does one do about this? We asked them to take the bed down so we could at least use the nightstands and outlets. They said sure but never showed up. Croatan surf club... any advice? It seems like we are being messed with for their entertainment at this point.

This condo…read moreis on the top (3rd) floor of the complex...so be prepared to hike up and down flights of stairs...no elevator. The stairs are worth it because this condo is GORGEOUS. Vaulted ceilings, huge dining room, huge living room, huge 'ocean room,' huge ocean-facing deck, ceiling fans, air conditioning, lots of windows...it's breathtaking! It came complete with a full kitchen and all appliances and cooking utensils, pots, pans, coffee maker, blender, plates, cups...even a wet bar! Bring your own kitchen towels, paper towels, toilet paper. There is no salt/pepper, Pam, spices...things like that, so be prepared. They do provide sheets and bath towels though. I was truly floored by the cleanliness and beauty of this condo...no roaches or bed bugs either (we checked!). There was a first aid kit, ice trays and maker, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and boogie boards provided, so that was handy. They also had tons of games, books, and movies! You can see the ocean from EVERY ROOM! 2 Bedrooms: The large bedroom has a jacuzzi tub! The small bedroom has a private little balcony! This was my first time visiting the Outer Banks and was very surprised by how cold the ocean water was. It probably ranged from 60° to 74°F. If you don't like cold water, OBX might not be the place for you. That was my only major criticism of the location. A few condos to the north, right on the beach, is a little café that does breakfast lunch and dinner, and live music Thursdays through Saturdays. Also I would highly recommend checking where the "beach restoration project" locations are prior to booking. When we were there late June into July, they started the beach restoration project a few condos to the south closing off beach access to those poor people who rented those condos for the week. Luckily the restoration project was not in front of our condo but was definitely heading our way. Overall if you're a big fan of the OBX, rent this condo! I felt it was very reasonably priced. Personally I don't like cold water so I probably won't be back to the OBX, but that is absolutely no reflection at all on A Pirates Paradise which is truly the most beautiful oceanfront condo I have ever stayed in.

As the duchess of the RelaxInn, I owe it to my kingdom to share how great this place is!…read more I say the $175/night is worth it. The following amenities are included: - breakfast at 8:30am (naturally, the thing to do if you're not a morning person is take a 2.5 hour nap after eating; I may have some experience with this.) - beach access within a few blocks! - cable tv in room - beach towels, umbrellas, and beach chairs available during your stay - bathrobes - a cozy room decorated with beach-infused decor (seashells, lighthouses, sand-themed hangings) - jacuzzi and pool, not to mention hammocks for relaxing We had a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend this place. The caretakers were kind, warm, and around in case any assistance was needed (help! A replacement beach towel is needed!).

We were welcomed by our host Eric, on arrival who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was very nice, decorated in a birds of paradise decor and had a sitting room and a large, private bathroom. The house boasted a pool, hot tub, roof top patio and various other outdoor seating areas. It was located on the second row of houses from the beach with about a 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the pier. Every morning at 9am hot coffee was available and our hosts served us breakfast that included omelets and a breakfast casserole with veggies from the Margie's own garden. There are only 3 rooms at this B&B so only 6 people maximum can stay at one time. Fortunately, we were the only ones there during this weekend so we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves! The RelaxInn was very close to MANY shops and restaurants, just the perfect location! If you are looking to get away and have a quite time with a hot breakfast served daily, you should check out this place!
