The room was fine. Newly remodeled and clean. My concern is that there was a substantial fee for each pet. I booked through Expedia, and disclosed that we had two small dogs. On arrival, I was informed that there was a $40 per dog pet charge. The manager discounted this by $15. Maybe an Exoedia glitch, but not good.

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.

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.

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.
