Outer Banks Hotels

In the heart of historic Manteo in a restored 1903 home, Cameron House Next Door offers comfort in an easy-going Air B&B-type atmosphere. Currently, there is one guest room available, the Sandpiper, but three others will open in the fall of 2021. Guests in the Sandpiper enjoy a private screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace, sofa and chairs. This room also has a half-bath downstairs and full bath upstairs as well as a Keurig coffeemaker, mini-fridge, luxurious bed linens and towels. Practical touches like a hairdryer and a high def TV with streaming options make this room especially comfortable, and you can also bring your furry companion to this room with prior arrangements. Wireless internet access and a large desk make the Sandpiper room at Cameron House Next Door a good choice for business travelers who appreciate an Outer Banks accommodation that takes their needs into consideration. When the other rooms open, guests will be invited to put their feet up in the sitting room, to laze on the front porch in a rocking chair or to warm by the fireplace in colder months. These rooms will have the same amenities as you have in the Sandpiper room. The owners have been in the local and national guidebook business for more than 35 years, so rest assured that all the information you’ll need about the area and things to do will be at your fingertips. There’s a no-smoking policy here. Children 12 and older are welcomed with prior arrangements. Ask for details about special packages or see the website. You’re less than a block from the waterfront historic district with its great shops, restaurants and attractions.

For clean, comfortable accommodations in an ideal Outer Banks location, Hotel Manteo, a Wyndham Resort, offers fresh, contemporary decor and boutique-style amenities in a traditional hotel setting. The hotel, part of the town's history since 1954, has been completely reimagined and updated, with all 78 standard rooms, suites and kitchenette apartments newly decorated and outfitted with furnishings, appliances and coffeemakers. Hotel amenities include a brand-new outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a comfortable lobby and refreshment kiosk, room service, free parking and complimentary WiFi. The onsite private event space, Embers Lounge, can accommodate up to 60 guests for seated or standing events, and the onsite restaurant, Firetender Stone Oven Cooking & Bar and Weeping Radish Taproom, is one of Manteo's most popular spots for dinner and Sunday brunch. Hotel Manteo's location has the feeling of quiet, small-town charm, yet the hotel is within walking or biking distance of all the popular Downtown Manteo shops, attractions, restaurants and bars, about a five-minute drive to the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, The Elizabethan Gardens and The Lost Colony, and only about a 10-minute drive to the bustling beaches of Nags Head and Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
