Relax and Recharge at Dog-Friendly Roanoke Island Retreat

Tucked away on the peaceful soundside of historic Manteo, Roanoke Island Retreat is a coastal getaway that offers both comfort and convenience for the whole family. This property includes two inviting spaces—a charming 3-Bedroom, 2.5-Bathroom Main House and a cozy Pool House—making it the perfect choice for family groups who want to stay together while still enjoying a little extra room to spread out. And don't forget Fido — this property is dog-friendly!

The main house is a charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom getaway designed for comfort, convenience, and coastal fun. With a Private Saltwater Pool, inviting Tiki Bar, and thoughtfully updated interiors, this home offers the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation for families looking to explore the quieter side of the Outer Banks. With only a few stairs heading up to the main level and the Living Area, Kitchen, and a King Master Bedroom all on the first floor, this home is perfect for families looking to vacation with mobility restrictions in mind! Take advantage of the beautiful sunsets over the sound and soak up the gorgeous views of the wildlife from this sophisticated OBX getaway that’s perfect for family members ages 0 to 100!

The Ground Level welcomes you with hardwood floors and an open-concept Living Area featuring a cozy seating area, spacious Dining Area with a breakfast bar, and a fully stocked Gourmet Kitchen boasting sleek stainless-steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas stove, and black granite countertops. Start your mornings at the dedicated coffee bar and keep clothes fresh all week with the convenient Washer and Dryer. Wind down in the luxurious King Master Bedroom, complete with its own private bathroom with a granite double drop-in sink vanity top and glass block shower, and a TV. A convenient Hallway Half Bathroom keeps everyone comfortable on this level.

Upstairs, you'll find two beautifully decorated Queen Bedrooms that share a Full Hallway Bathroom with custom tile, a jet tub, and a double drop-in sink with a granite vanity top—perfect for guests who enjoy their own space while still being close to the action. Step out onto the Covered Deck overlooking the private pool and nearby pond for unforgettable views and memorable evenings as you soak up the cool breeze under the stars.

Step outside and embrace island living at its finest. Lounge by the Private Saltwater Pool, sip cocktails at the Tiki Bar, and fire up the Gas Grill for an afternoon cookout in the outdoor entertainment area. With serene surroundings and all the essentials for an unforgettable stay, Roanoke Island Retreat is your soundside sanctuary in the heart of the Outer Banks.

Poolside Comfort at the Guest House
Extend your stay with the charming Pool House, a cozy retreat just steps away from the Private Saltwater Pool and outdoor entertainment area. With its own Living Area, Dining Space, and convenient Coffee Bar, this addition makes the perfect spot for family members who want extra space to spread out or for teens and grandparents looking for a little privacy.

The spacious Living Area invites you to kick back with a movie on the large flat-screen TV, while the Dining Table sets the stage for board games, puzzles, or afternoon snacks after a dip in the pool. A Kitchen* makes it easy to mix up drinks or prepare light bites (please note: oven and cooktop are not available for guest use).

A full Bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower ensures convenience and comfort, while upstairs, a Queen Bedroom awaits with cozy furnishings (please note: the bedroom is open at the top of the stairs and does not have a door). Step out onto the private Deck to enjoy beautiful views of the pool and surrounding scenery, the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

With its thoughtful design and flexible layout, the Pool House is the ideal complement to Roanoke Island Retreat—offering the extra space your group needs while keeping everyone close to the fun.

Downtown Manteo: A Hidden Gem of Uniqueness and Marvel
Situated in the quiet residential areas of Manteo, Roanoke Island Retreat sits just a 10-minute drive from downtown Manteo where 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. Take the convenient Collins Trail at the end of the cul-de-sac that will take you to downtown Manteo. Don't miss out on this chance to explore the coastal woodland habitat and quiet maritime forests of 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. Celebrate the peaceful quiet of Roanoke Island while enjoying the convenience of all the fun that the OBX has to offer.

FAQ

What do all the different locations mean?

There are two (2) roads running north/south on the Outer Banks. The "Beach Road" (NC 12) is a 2-lane road with a speed limit of 35 MPH. The "Bypass" (US 158) is a 5-lane road with speed limits 45-50 MPH. 

 

Please note: The Bypass is incredibly busy during the summer season on the Outer Banks. Seaside Vacations advises our guests to please take safety precautions when traveling on the Bypass. If you must cross the Bypass on foot, please make sure to do so at designated pedestrian crosswalks - never using the center turn lane as a stopping point.

 

Oceanfront - An oceanfront home has no homes or buildable lots located between it and the ocean. The distance between the home and the ocean may vary. 

 

Semi-Oceanfront - Semi-oceanfront homes are located one lot back from the ocean and may or may not require crossing the road. Children always will need assistance to cross any road. The rental may or may not have a home between it and the beach. The distance to the water, beach accesses, and views vary.  

 

Oceanside - These homes are located east of Highway 158. These homes have two or more homes between them and the ocean. These homes may or may not require crossing a road, and may or may not have an ocean view. The distance to the ocean varies. 

 

Soundside - These homes are located west of Highway 158 from Southern Shores to Nags Head and west of Highway 12 from Southern Shores to Corolla. The distance to the sound and views vary. Some homes may not have direct access to the sound (soundside homes in the village of Duck do not have direct access to the sound).  

 

Soundfront - These properties front the sound with no homes or lots in between. The distance to the sound, access to the sound and the view vary. Sunsets can be gorgeous! 

Do you offer any travel insurance? 

We offer travel insurance through Red Sky Travel Insurance. We highly recommend a travel insurance plan, especially since the Outer Banks is so prone to hurricanes. The travel insurance plan is priced affordably and covers a variety of issues that could impact your vacation should unforeseen circumstances occur. As they say on TV, “Life comes at you fast.” Most notably would be a mandatory evacuation due to a hurricane. Here are a few other things covered by travel insurance: sickness, injury or death of you or a family member, business partner, or traveling companion, the insured’s principal residence being made uninhabitable by fire, flood, vandalism, or burglary, involuntary termination of employment, military duty, etc.

 

If you would like to have specific questions answered, please call RedSky Travel Insurance at (866) 889-7409 or visit www.suntrippreserver.com (policy coverage information).

 

Remember, in order to have coverage due to a named hurricane, a travel insurance plan cannot be added after a tropical storm becomes a “named hurricane.” We tell you this because it could be very costly to wait. You would have to contact Red Sky Travel Insurance for specific details.

Do I have to pay any taxes on my rental? 

Unfortunately, the tax man doesn’t take vacations. Obviously, we do not set the tax rates and we only collect the taxes for the county. If your rental home is in Currituck County (Corolla), the tax is 12.75%. If your home is in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo, or any village on Hatteras Island, the tax is 12.75%.

I don’t see rates for next year. When will these be available?

We publish rates for the following year in spring/summer of the current year. You may reserve the home by paying the first half of the rent or by setting up payments with our Vacation Layaway ProgramIf you don't see rates or availability for a home online yet, give us a call and we can place a hold on the home for you. 

What/where is Club Seaside?

Club Seaside is an exclusive program consisting of complimentary events and discounts on popular Outer Banks activities that are exclusive to Seaside Vacations guests. Click on Club Seaside to obtain more information including schedules, contact information and to make reservations for each activity.

*Some events include a small fee.

Are linens and towels provided? 

Linens and towels are provided for ALL of the homes in our vacation rental home program. 

 

Towel sets are also provided. There are enough towel sets for the number the house sleeps.

 

One bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person is provided. The towels and linens are placed on each bed in the home. One bath mat per bathroom is also provided. (Towels are not freshened daily.) Two potholders, one dish towel, and one dishcloth are provided and are placed on the kitchen counter prior to your arrival.

 

We do offer extra sets of both towels and linens at an additional charge. For prices and to place an order, contact a Vacation Specialist at (866) 884-0267.

 

Please Note: Beds are not made prior to your arrival. Linens are provided for them and are placed on their respective beds. 

Are beds made prior to my arrival?

Beds are not fully made prior to your arrival. Wrapped linens are provided for each bed and are placed on top of the comforter on the respective beds in each room. Unless the Bed Making Add-On is purchased, guests will be responsible for making beds with the linens provided.

What is your Bed Making add-on service?

Our optional Bed Making Service allows guests to have all standard beds in their rental made before arrival, so you can start your vacation hassle-free. The service is $8 per bedroom, regardless of how many beds are in the room. So, if you rent a 4-bedroom home, the cost of the service is $32; if you rent a 6-bedroom home, the cost of the service is $48, etc.

 

(Top bunks, futons, sleeper sofas, and other non-standard beds are not included.)

Does my property have internet access and how is the WiFi? 

All Seaside Vacations rental homes offer complimentary high-speed internet access unless otherwise noted in the property description. All of our homes are equipped with Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected during your stay.

Please keep in mind:

  • The Outer Banks is a remote barrier island, so internet speeds may vary depending on service provider availability and weather conditions. This can include occasional unexpected outages. In those events, we will do everything in our power to get service restored as quickly as possible.

  • If you’re working remotely or require strong connectivity, we recommend checking the property listing for any additional details or contacting our team directly to confirm internet capabilities. Please bring a hotspot as a backup if WiFi is a necessity for your family.

Below are the average broadband speeds for Dare County's internet providers:

Spectrum: 50 Mbps - 1,000 Mbps
Silicon Travel: Up to 500 Mbps

What are your policies on bringing a pet? 

Most dog friendly homes allow two (2) mature, house-trained dogs (75-pound limit). Dogs are not allowed in any rental home unless otherwise indicated. Cats and other animals are not permitted. A $175 fee (plus tax) per dog per week is added to the rental amount. Dogs (and any other animal) are not allowed in pools, hot tubs or spas. Tenants are responsible for any damage incurred by their dog, as this type of damage is not covered under our Security Deposit Waiver Fee. Owners of dogs at non-dog homes will be subject to a $200 unauthorized pet fee and may be evicted without a refund. 

Please be aware that all of our beaches have leash laws.

Our vacation home has a pool. Can we have the pool heated? 

Pool heat is available with some of our homes typically between April-June and September-October. There is an additional charge for pool heat and this charge varies by home.

 

Please remember that most pool heaters will only heat the water 5 to 8 degrees above the outside air temperatures. For example, if the air temperature is only 60 degrees, the pool water will likely be no warmer than 68 degrees. Pool heat does not give a “hot tub” effect, it merely prolongs the pool swimming season.

What time is check-in? 

Please know that we want to get all of our guests into their vacation home as soon as we can. Our check-in time begins at 5:00 p.m., as the houses become available and are released by Housekeeping and Maintenance. We will be happy to check you in as soon as the cleaners/inspectors give us the "OK." Again, please know that our goal is to get you on your way, enjoying your vacation, as soon as we can.

I have keyless entry. Do I still have to come to the office?

Our keyless entry service allows you to go straight to the home on check-in day, any time after 5:00 p.m.! In addition, when checking out, you may head straight home (skipping our office).

Do you offer early check-in? 

Yes! For an additional $125 fee (plus tax), guests may check in at 2:00 p.m. as homes become available. This fee applies whether or not you arrive prior to regular check-in time. Early check-in is subject to availability and only available for homes with up to five (5) bedrooms. Contact a Vacation Specialist at 866.884.0267 to request an early check-in.*  

 

We also offer a SUPER Early Check-In! For an additional $225 fee (plus tax), SUPER Early Check-In allows a guest access to at least the ground floor of the home by 12 noon on their day of arrival. Housekeepers may still be working in other areas of the home, and maintenance and other vendors may need to access the home after 12 noon to complete outstanding tasks. SUPER Early check-in is subject to availability and only available for homes with up to five (5) bedrooms. Contact a Vacation Specialist at 866.884.0267 to request SUPER early check-in.*  

What are your check-out cleaning requirements?

Check-out is at 9:00 a.m. on the day of departure. Cleaning crews arrive at the home at 9:00 a.m.; your prompt departure is appreciated. 

All keys are to be returned to our office upon departure. (Keyless entry guests do not have to stop by the office to check out).

Can you drive on the beach in the Outer Banks? 

Beach driving is allowed on several places in the Outer Banks but permissions vary by town. Driving is allowed year-round in Corolla/4x4 Carova Beach Area north of the paved road but only allowed south of that point between October 1 and April 30 and parking permits are required in-season. Driving is allowed on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at designated access ramps and with a permit only. Driving in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head is permitted with a permit between October 1 and April 30 at designated access points. All 4x4 access areas are subject to change due to nesting wildlife or impending weather conditions at each town's discretion.

Which Outer Banks beaches allow bonfires?

Gathering around a beach bonfire is the perfect way to spend your evening. On the Outer Banks, bonfires are allowed on the beach in Nags Head, on Hatteras island and on Ocracoke Island under certain conditions and with a permit. Bonfires are prohibited on the beaches of Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Learn more about having bonfires on the OBX.

What are the Outer Banks wild horses?

The Outer Banks Wild Horses (also known as the Corolla Wild Mustangs or Banker Mustangs) are a herd of wild horses who live in Northern Corolla and are descendants of horses brought to the "New World" by Spanish explorers. Banker Mustangs can be spotted roaming the beach, playing in the waves, and grazing on native vegetation. These mustangs, although docile in nature and beautiful to watch from afar, are still wild and should never be approached, touched or fed. The herd is managed and protected by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Learn more about the OBX Wild Horses.

What is the trash collection schedule?

Please click here to find the days of the week that trash collections will take place for each town.

 

Bag all trash and place it in the home's outdoor trash receptacles with the lids tightly closed.

 

Sanitation Cart Placement: To ensure that your trash and recycling cans are emptied, they must be placed out at the edge of the roadway the day before the scheduled collection service. Trash must be inside cans and the lid must be closed. The following cannot be placed into trash cans and will not be picked up: Oil, propane, paint, charcoal, yard waste, construction debris, or hazardous waste. Trash or recycling placed outside of or on top of the cans cannot be collected. Cans must be removed from the edge of the roadway and placed next to a building as soon as possible on the same day of collection. (Please put trash in the black and brown trash cans.)

What is Beach Nourishment?

Beach nourishment is the process of pumping sand onto an eroding shoreline to widen the existing beach. Sources of sand may include a nearby sandbar, a dredged source (such as an inlet or waterway), or an offshore borrow site along the ocean floor. The widened shoreline provides increased defense from coastal storms and beach erosion, protecting property, communities, and infrastructure that are located along the coast.

 

While the Outer Banks coastline is beautiful, it is also very fragile. Storms, high winds and tidal changes all contribute to beach erosion. To restore and preserve our fragile coastline, Dare County and the towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head have implemented important beach nourishment projects important that are critical to the future of our communities.

 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes and are confident you understand the importance and necessity of this project so you can continue to return and enjoy the Outer Banks beaches for many years to come. We hope you will choose to make the best of your vacation should you find your stay impacted by the beach nourishment project.

Are There Cameras or Security Devices at my Property?

Some homeowners may have security devices, like cameras outside the home or noise monitoring devices inside, to help protect the property from things like crime, over-occupancy, or damage. By signing the rental agreement, you’re acknowledging that these security measures might be in place to keep the property safe from theft, unauthorized access, or damage.

 

We ask that guests don’t tamper with, unplug, or cover any of these devices. If any security device is taken offline, a $250 fine may be applied.

 

We value your privacy and want to ensure that your stay is both safe and comfortable. If you have any questions regarding security features at your rental home, feel free to reach out to our team.
