8/10 Very Good
Aug 4, 2024
Everything was good but the picture online of the main building is a little deceiving. It is truly a motel.The room was nice except for the toenails left on the floor from a previous guest. Also no desk or table in the room so no place to eat a snack. Probably could a cheaper room and would stay in Nags Head if we go again. Much more to do there.

No vent fan or other opening in the bathroom!!
No shelf or other place to set anything down in bathroom!
The landscape probably was nice, but is overgrown and weedy.
Parking is cramped.
Tara was nice.

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.

Clint the owner greeted us and made us feel special. He and his team truly knows the meaning of hospitality.
We had two rooms for the four of us. Both were superb. We also had a tour of the other rooms and all were beautiful. I work in high end hospitality and this place is fabulous.
Clint also gave us some really good tips on where to dine. Spot on.
Anyone visiting the Manteo area should book this place. A gem for sure. The attention to detail in each room is sublime.

Great price and experience.
Booked the last room available at late notice. Located in Manteo which is away from the beachiness of the OBX but conveniently located to get to things north and south easily. Manteo has a cute downtown and things to explore on its own. The hotel is a historic house and inn that has been totally updated. The rooms are nicely appointed and the hosts are accommodating and friendly. Because it is in an old house (at least our room was) the stairs are narrow and there are a few creaks in the floor. Nice front porch and fire pit area. Net-net — nice, unique place away from the beach.. would stay here again!
