About this cottage rental

Weekly rental June thru August, Friday to Friday. Three night minimum stay during the rest of the year.

A charming three bedroom cottage located on top of a hill in maritime forest with privacy, comfort, and 1200 foot walking path to Roanoke Sound. Upstairs Jack and Jill bath. Relax on the deck at sunset or kayak on the shallow water of Roanoke Sound.

It is a perfect vacation rental to visit Roanoke Island and the beaches of the Outer Banks. This unique restored cottage is located at the end of a private road in a maritime forest. Cruise along the bike path (bikes furnished by owner) that runs along the corridor of Roanoke Island. Visitors can enjoy the Manteo waterfront, Island Farm, NC Aquarium, The Lost Colony, and The Elizabethan Gardens. Roanoke Island, centrally located, is on the sound west of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks. Beautiful beaches and the new aquarium on the pier are located within a 10 minute car ride to Nags Head. Explore the northern beaches to see wild horses roaming, head south to the island of Ocracoke by ferry or take trips to state park, private preserves, or national wildlife refuge.

The first floor has wood floors in the living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel range, full sized refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, and a lovely master bedroom with queen bed. A bathroom with washer and dryer is located next to the master bedroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, one queen and one with twin beds attached by a full bath. Linens are included. Two very large decks overlooking a view that reminds you of the mountains. The home accommodates six people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cottage on the Hill! The cottage is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It is nestled on a hill with a tree line deck and the sound is just a short hike through the woods. The town of Manteo is quaint and there are paths for walking and biking. We would love to come back soon!

The cottage is spotlessly clean and the perfect space for our family of grandparents, parents, and two boys (7 & 10). The lovely path to the sound is an adventure for the kids, and the private beach offers a lovely view and safe swimming for all of us. The ocean beach is a short drive away when you want to experience surf. We especially enjoyed the two spacious porches, and ate our meals outside daily. We spotted eagles, pelican, fox and box turtles, making our stay quite an adventure. Local sights kept us busy and interested. We particularly liked the Lost Colony, Fort Raleigh, and the Elizabethan Gardens.The hosts are gracious and extremely helpful. We truly enjoyed meeting them. One caveat: lots and lots of stairs! There are 35 stairs just to get into the house, and double that each way on the trail to the beach. We enjoyed the exercise, but it may be difficult for strollers, wheelchairs, or for those with mobility issues. One of our very favorite stays! We hope to return.

June was so great! She was attentive and was available for any questions. The house was clean and well stocked. It had everything you could need. The walk to the beach was a little long but once you got there the view of the sound was amazing. There are many steps to reach the house and the sound. Not handicap friendly. Other than that it is a great stay

This was the perfect get away for a family group. The house was in an ideal spot, secluded and surrounded by trees and flowers. It was just a walk away from Manteo Bay beach area that was great for walking or making smores. The house was tastefully and beautifully decorated with all the right amenities plus a lot of extras! Our host was so gracious and helpful and the house was immaculate. This town had so many areas of interest that we must come back to explore them all and I hope to rent "The Cottage on the Hill" again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
