My husband and I grew up in Manteo. As longtime locals we have not stayed at the Inn, however, our family reached out to Lee last minute to ask about using the Roanoke Island Inn as the backdrop for some professional family photos. He was prompt in getting back with us and very kind. Despite having a full house, he gladly allowed us to photograph on his property. Our family was welcomed by Lee and encouraged us into the refreshment part of the Inn. We were even free to use the gardens in the back! Their grounds are SO pretty!!! Roanoke Island Inn encompasses the ultimate cottage scenery and we cannot wait to cherish our family photos. Lee, we thank you again for accommodating us in such a warm and friendly manner and in such short notice! We are truly grateful! We would encourage anyone to stay here not only is it stunning with great customer service, but it’s the epitome of the charm that makes downtown Manteo special and memorable. Thank you, Lee!
Warm wishes,
The Hall Family
My wife and I love this place, so much that we've been there three times so far over the years. We just got back from a four-night stay and again couldn't have been happier. Great location, great rooms, great breakfast & snacks, great grounds, and great hospitality (thanks, Lee!). Keep up the great work, guys!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The property and the rooms are beautiful. They go above and beyond to make your stay special.
Complimentary waters, drinks and snacks as well as a great continental breakfast. It is located in a perfect location and just a moments walk to the downtown. Lee and Theresa were wonderful and so welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. We can’t say enough nice things about the Inn.
I love this Inn! My brother got married there in 2021, my whole wedding party booked out the Inn in 2022, and I did a Mommy Daughter weekend with my little girl this year.
The rooms are very clean, the breezeway was a wonderful spot to sit and have dinner with my toddler, the guest pantry was good for late night snacks, and we took pictures in the garden.
My daughter and I also had lunch in their little gazebo garden spot, then I spent some time reading while she played with the garden and koi pond.
I love this place so much! Can’t wait to go back. They have all the little touches that make it feel like home.
I had such a wonderful stay at Roanoke Island Inn. Honestly, one of the most peaceful and charming place I’ve visited. The location is amazing, right in downtown Manteo and just a short walk to everything: shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.
My room was super cozy and clean, with a beautiful view of the gardens and koi pond.I loved the breezeway it was perfect for reading or just soaking in the ambiance with a lovely view of the water. The whole property has such a calm, relaxing vibe you really feel like you’ve escaped.
Everyone on staff was so kind and welcoming. You can tell they really care about the place and the people staying there. The 24/7 guest pantry was such a nice touch too.
Staying in October; downtown Manteo does a Halloween Island. The inn embraces the community spirit, the front yard is decked out in halloween decor. It gives the nostalgia of a small town halloween.
If you’re looking for a quiet, charming place to slow down and enjoy the Outer Banks, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!
