A whole-house stay on Sir Walter Raleigh Street, an easy walk from Manteo's waterfront
The Manteo House is a whole-house vacation rental on Sir Walter Raleigh Street, in downtown Manteo on Roanoke Island. Renting the whole property means a kitchen and living space to spread out in, rather than a single hotel room — useful for a family or a group traveling together who want some separation between sleeping quarters and shared space.
Manteo's downtown is small and walkable, built around the working harbor at Shallowbag Bay, and Sir Walter Raleigh Street sits close enough to reach the waterfront, shops, and restaurants on foot. It's also a short drive from the historic sites clustered on Roanoke Island's north end — Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabethan Gardens, the Waterside Theatre where The Lost Colony outdoor drama is staged each summer, and Roanoke Island Festival Park across the water in town. The street's own name nods to the Elizabethan courtier who backed the 1580s voyages that founded — and then, for reasons historians still debate, lost track of — the Roanoke Colony.

This is a beautiful place to stay in Manteo, NC. The owner provided us with a historical tour of the house and knows a lot about Manteo and it's history. The house was clean and quiet and is a great location with so many places within walking distance.

The Manteo House was a great discovery for us. We loved the beautiful house and the location was great. It is within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the movie theater. The owner is very friendly and he gave us a history of the home upon our arrival. We absolutely loved our stay and we definitely want to return on our next trip to the Outer Banks.

As we’re packing to head back home, wishing we could stay longer. The Manteo House is wonderful. Such a beautiful property filled with charm and (very) early American history. So glad we discovered this gem. We’ll be back again and again. Andy and Shelley Waldeck.

The Manteo House makes for a perfect Outer Banks getaway. You can enjoy the Coastal Carolina experience while taking a trip back in time at this 1871 property. With views of the water and famous Manteo Marshes Light the walk to Downtown storefronts and restaurants is less than a block away with many great places to dine, sip, and stroll. A 10 minute drive from the beach the Manteo House makes for a great escape from the hustle and bustle of summer traffic and is a peaceful place to rest your head. Great for a romantic getaway, girls trip, or even coming into town for business.
