About this property

Historic OBX Farmhouse w/ Private Pool in the Heart of Manteo - 3 Bed /2 Bath

The Brinkley House is a fully resorted 1800’s Outer Banks Farmhouse, lovingly refurbished from top to bottom. Located on the North End of Manteo, on Roanoke Island, this home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, and sleeps 8.

As you enter the front door into the vestibule, you will find the perfect spot to kick off your shoes and drop your keys and other items. The downstairs features the fully equipped kitchen, large dining room with seating for 10, powder room and living room – making it the perfect place to gather with your family. Also located on the first floor is the primary bedroom, which features a King Bed and ensuite bathroom with stand-up shower.

Upstairs you will find two more bedrooms and a hall bathroom featuring a shower/tub combo. The first upstairs bedroom features 2 Queen Beds, while the second features a King Bed.

The back yard features a back deck, stationary grill, and new for 2025 an in-ground pool with covered patio.

Our home is conveniently located just minutes to the area’s best attractions. Directly across from the home is easy access to the town bike path, prefect for a quick ride to the Downtown Manteo Waterfront (2.4 miles). You will also be just a stone’s throw away from the NC Aquarium (1.4 miles), The Elizabethan Gardens / Lost Colony (1.3 miles), and Jenette’s Pier (7.6 miles).

- About The Home -
Originally built in the 1800's as the summer home for the Brinkley family, owners of the Hulcam Dairy on Roanoke Island, named after their daughters - Hulda & Camille. The property was moved by horses from it's original location near the Dare County Airport to where it currently sits today. The owners completed an extensive two year restoration to bring this Historic Outer Banks Home back to life.

This was a true VRBO gem to find! The home is so well cared for and you can tell they take such pride and ownership of their property from the gardens outside to the beds inside everything was pristine. It felt like being at a fancy private resort. Our children especially enjoyed petting the horses and swimming in the heated pool. Recommend 10/10 if we could!
