Manteo Haven for Peace and Comfort
We stayed in this beautiful home twice, both during the low seasons--December and April. Both times it was exactly what we needed and equally serene. The location is on a quiet street, just a block or so off the main road. While neighboring homes are visible, there is sufficient privacy created through the use of landscaping, porch screens, and the thoughtful placement of windows that really keep your group protected. The kitchen is beautiful and stocked with the items you need to cook if you want to; there's a big kitchen island, plenty of storage space, and various lighting to suit any mood or need. A large dining table seats at least 6 comfortably. The living room offers a fireplace and access to the front porch, while a screened back porch is accessible through the kitchen entryway. The main bedroom is separated from the other two guest rooms, and has it own spacious bathroom with dual vanities and a large shower. A laundry room is near the main bedroom so you can pack less and save a little space. We enjoyed the birds singing when we sat on the porches--there are trees galore in this part of town. A short walk through the neighborhood leads to the main road, or if you like history, you can traipse through the old town cemetery a few blocks away to discover the family names and local heroes. Everything here is comfortable and the decor is lovely. Horatio's hideaway is the perfect place for a family, a friends group, or even just a solo or couple to find the space to relax, unwind, and plan your Outer Banks culinary or activity experiences. Nags Head and the Cape Hatteras seashore are just a short drive away. If you think you might enjoy Peruvian or Mexican food, we suggest visiting the El Shaddai Chicken restaurant along the main road (Rt. 64) in Manteo.
