Ideal for solo travelers or couples, this cozy retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The space features a Queen Bedroom and a Full Bathroom with a Glass Tiled Shower, along with all the essentials for a relaxing stay, whether you're visiting for a weekend escape or a full Outer Banks getaway.

Wake up to spectacular sunrises over the water and wind down each evening with glowing soundside sunsets—both visible just steps from your door. Sit out on your balcony overlooking the neighborhood, where you can listen to the birds and soak up the beautiful breeze coming off the sound. You'll love the easy access to Manteo's waterfront boardwalk, where you can explore boutique shops, enjoy waterfront dining, and catch live music and local events. Festivals, art shows, and seasonal celebrations are all within easy walking distance, making this location a true gem for those wanting to experience the vibrant culture of Roanoke Island.

Whether you're seeking peace and quiet or a central hub to dive into local activities, Myrtle's Retreat is your perfect soundfront home base in Manteo.

Downtown Manteo: A Hidden Gem of Uniqueness and Marvel
One of the home's most unique features is its location—just down the street from the Manteo soundfront. A scenic boardwalk connects you to the town's vibrant waterfront area, where you'll find shops, restaurants, Festival Park, and even a playground for the kids. Whether you're here to explore local history, enjoy waterfront sunsets, or simply relax in a beautiful and well-crafted home, this Manteo retreat is the perfect place to make lasting Outer Banks memories.
Located on historic Roanoke Island, this beautiful home is in the perfect location for learning more about the history of the Outer Banks. Pay a visit to the beautiful Elizabethan Gardens or stop by Fort Raleigh National Historic Site to discover how life on the island was for early settlers. The Lost Colony is an award-winning live theater performance about the famous lost colonists of Roanoke Island and is a great outing for the whole family. Kids will also love a visit to the NC Aquarium where they can see sea turtles, otters, sharks, fish, and many other marine animals. Downtown Manteo offers great shopping and tasty restaurants all with a spectacular view of the water. You can even visit the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse (one of the 5 Lighthouses of the Outer Banks). When you want to venture into the main area of the Outer Banks, you are just a short drive away from South Nags Head and can easily take a day trip North toward Corolla or South toward Ocracoke. However you decide to spend your OBX vacation, this home will be a dream come true.
