The Get-a-way.
If your looking for a motel that's more like a retreat, this is it. I have stayed here before and i always look forward to the welcoming by the staff.
I like the fact that im close to the beaches, birds at pea island and the bears at alligator river.

This charming property is a short walk to the shop, restaurants and boardwalk of Manteo. The hotel is adorable and super clean! The staff were absolutely lovely. The location is a short drive to beaches, lighthouses and historic sites.

Quiet, clean, and nice location. I would stay again. I stayed in room with kitchen. Well equipped. I would suggest adding a coffee pot (just my opinion). Coffee was in main office area, and was glad to see, but would rather have in room. Adding a shelf in bathroom would be nice for a place to put things on. Very happy with our stay.

The Island Guesthouse was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. It was also very peaceful and quiet. Everyone we dealt with during our stay was helpful and friendly. The bathroom is a little small but it worked fine for our family. The Guesthouse was also conveniently located for the things we wanted to do while in the Manteo area.

On a 1-10 I give it a 10.
It was a cute little place, very friendly people and very comfortable beds. That’s my biggest issue when traveling, so I was very happy with the whole place.
