Imagine waking up with the morning rays of sunlight streaming across your face. You sleepily blink and look over at the beckoning coffeemaker on the counter of the tiny kitchen. In the distance, you can hear the shwroosh of ocean waves breaking against the sand as seagulls cry in unison. Welcome to an Outer Banks cottage court. Think of these little cottages as apartments or small rental houses. They typically have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen area, bathrooms and a living area. The cozy sizes are great for small families, honeymooners or even just a couple of fishing partners. If your Outer Banks cottage court has a porch, you’re in for a treat! Relax on the outdoor deck as you watch the cottage court world pass by or gaze upon the ocean or sound as it reflects the sparkling sunlight. Browse through our below listings’ descriptions to learn about the different amenities each Outer Banks cottage court offers, and start planning your stay on the Outer Banks.

Outer Banks Cottage Courts
305 Fernando Street, Manteo
Roanoke Island Inn is one of Manteo’s most beautiful historic inns. It’s in the heart of the historic district, situated along the boardwalk and overlooking the water. The original building dates to the 1860s, and later additions and renovations have this inn sprawling over its large lot with lush landscaping and a quaint picket fence. The inn offers eight rooms with private baths and outside entrances; two of the accommodations are family suites. Dog-friendly accommodations are available. A comfortable common area (wait until you see the frescoed ceiling), a peaceful back yard with a koi pond and a well-stocked innkeeper’s pantry are welcoming touches. Guests have 24-hour access to the fully stocked pantry, and a continental breakfast is set out each morning from 8 to 11 a.m. WiFi is available in the guest rooms and the lobby. In the backyard garden is a bungalow offering two bedrooms and a wet bar but no cooking facilities. Children are welcomed in the two family suites and in the bungalow, and dogs are allowed in the bungalow. Bikes are available for guests to use. They close in January and February every year.
Roanoke Island Inn is now also offering the Croatan Cottage, a charming fully restored and furnished 1920s Sears kit home located in downtown Manteo next to the entrance to Roanoke Island Festival Park. Voted #6 in Best Homes 2012 by Hooked on Houses, the Croatan Cottage offers three bedrooms and three baths, sleeps up to six people and is pet friendly. The house rents for a two-night minimum. Make sure to ask about their four-night stay and seven-night stay special packages!
