About this house rental

Welcome !

This beautifully remodeled and decorated home offers a spacious, light-filled sanctuary perfect for your next vacation. The home features three large bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, two comfortable living areas, a dining room, and a fully-equipped kitchen designed for those who love to cook.
I grew up on this end of Roanoke Island, the North End as we would say. There is a bike path that runs along 64 making the north end a great place to run, walk and bike. The street the house is on leads to the water and some great views of the sound.

* Sound Access *Go to the end of our Road, and take a left
Five houses down on the right is a public sound side area, great for picnics. Please park in front of the sign, there is a residence attached, be courteous.
Feel free to launch kayaks or paddle boards from this area.
Downtown Manteo now has more to offer than ever. Nightly Movie, Restaurants, Sandwich Shops, Bars and Hangouts, Public Parking, Coffee Shops, Distillery, Brewery, Gift Shops, Clothes Shops, Art Gallery, Summer Time Concerts, Blue Grass Festival Dolphin Tours, Pirate Tours, Sunset Tours, Charter Fishing, A play ground on the waterfront by the gazebo, fishing from the public docks. And this is all about a mile from the house, if that. Feel Free to give me a call or text to talk about your upcoming stay. We have parking on the beach road at the Dunes Restaurant close to two Beach accesses. There is also a wash down for all your gear before putting it back in the car.

The primary king bedroom is tucked away for privacy and includes an on-site laundry area. All beds in the house boast top-quality mattresses to ensure a restful night's sleep. High-quality linens, towels, and essential toiletries are provided for your convenience. Two additional bedrooms, one king and one queen, share a bathroom and are located on the opposite side of the house from the primary bedroom.

Outside, the huge, private backyard invites you to unwind with a cocktail under the afternoon shade, savoring the tranquil small-town atmosphere. Grill some fresh, local tuna caught in the Gulf Stream, and later, enjoy a movie or live music at The Pioneer Theatre, the country's oldest family-run theater (1918-2022).

Rent bikes to ride downtown, explore Festival Park, and enjoy the scenic bike path. Walk along the docks of downtown Manteo, where you'll find vibrant shops and restaurants. A short drive will take you to the beach, and the property includes a shed for storing all your beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes. The location also offers easy access to local attractions like the Wright Brothers National Memorial and America's longest-running outdoor drama, The Lost Colony.

Our family's heritage in Manteo dates back to the 1800s, with roots as lighthouse keepers. My father even worked on the historic Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse on the Manteo waterfront. We are proud to share our lovingly restored home and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for you.

Sunshine Cottage is in a lovely and quiet residential neighborhood in Manteo. It's a perfect home base for exploring the Outer Banks. The cottage was spotless when we checked in, and the furnishings, provided linens and towels, and nicely equipped kitchen made our stay a breeze. I can't say enough good things about the comfortable beds — so welcome after a long day of activities. The cottage has great water pressure for those who enjoy an invigorating shower. We're not TV watchers when on holiday, but there are three nice sets for those who don't want to miss favorite shows.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sunshine Cottage. It is beautiful decorated, comfortable and cozy. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our stay here made our vacation in the Outer Banks a delight!

The kitchen had all the things necessary to make simple meals. The area was convenient for shopping and getting to shopping areas, tourist attractions and the Outer Banks areas
