About this property
Little Lifeboat Manteo Cottage
Location. Location. Location. Centrally located in the heart of Roanoke Island, this charming coastal cottage will make you fall in love with historic Manteo, North Carolina. Walking distance to the sound, grab a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop and walk to Manteo lighthouse downtown shops, restaurants and Festival Park. Great walking/biking neighborhood and only a 12-minute drive to Nags Head beaches and Jennette's Pier. Enjoy the best of both worlds while visiting the Outer banks.
