LOCATION

You'll be inside of the Shallowbag Bay Club community, mins. from terrific close by eateries, so you'll always have delicious dining options. Stripers is just across the marina and offers food and drinks with in and outdoor dining. Local favorites include Darrell's at the entrance of Shallowbag Bay Club, a locally owned restaurant with a variety of seafood and other options. Across the street is Garden Deli and Pizzeria, another locally owned business. Downtown Manteo is a 5 to 10-min. walk/bicycle or a very fast drive, with a number of restaurant choices (The Avenue and Circa 1587 are two of my favorites) and entertainment choices, including the Pioneer theatre which offers both movie and other entertainment options so be sure to check their calendar.

The beaches are a 10-min. drive with South Nags (Jennette's Pier which has complimentary parking, bathrooms and outdoor showers) and Pea Island are some of the best options around. Our favorite is the Coquina Beach access which also has beach side bathrooms and showers along with great parking.

WHY I BOUGHT HERE

The Outer Banks were my childhood home. I've always kept a residence in Duck (my very first home). But I found myself wanting to spend more time in Manteo, where I grew up. The proximity to beaches makes for simple access. South Nags Head and the beaches around Oregon Inlet have always been my favorite. I spend a good deal of time on the sound as well, whether it's boating, fishing or exploring the shorelines for driftwood. I appreciate the cozy town of Manteo's walkability and revived downtown day and nighttime-time restaurant and bar venues. Manteo has really stepped up in recent years with evening entertainment options, making it a great year-round place to go. The combination of beach and town benefits, and the extraordinary sound vistas, made this my ideal choice. I hope you savor your stay.
