The house was very clean and comfortable. Knowing we were coming with two dogs, there was a full bowl of water in the kitchen along with treats for us when we arrived. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. The house had all of the amenities we expected. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Staci C. 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thoughtful This place was amazing!

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. 15 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Home, Outstanding Location. Furniture? Meh. We just returned from a stay at this property. We brought our two dogs with us and we all had a terrific time. The house dates back to the 1920's/30's and is beautiful. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, sleeps six comfortably. It has all the amenities you would need plus more. A nice fenced yard was terrific. Truly outstanding experience. It's located a short walking distance to the downtown business area with lots of fun shops. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The only "complaint" we would have is that the furniture is not the most comfortable. The couch and chairs in the living room are not comfy nor are the two rocking chairs on the front porch. But that is the only complaint I can muster. This is a wonderful place to stay. You will love it. ##### David M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn G., Richmond, Virginia 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely stay in Updated Vintage house Positives: This house is really in a great location! Lots of little shops within walking distance. Right next door to a boat ramp, lots of walking trails, within 10 minutes of the oceanfront and other activities. It is very clean & nicely decorated with special touches you would find in a highly rated hotel, such as fresh flowers, a welcoming plate of cookies, & embroidered towels. Water bowl filled for the dog. The hostess stocked the kitchen with a lot of extras, such as paper products, coffee, creamer & water in the refrigerator, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent etc. Speaking of the kitchen, it was nicely equipped…better than most other VRBO’s I have rented. Communication is great. The hostess lives nearby & is extremely responsive to any issues. Downsides? I took off a star on cleanliness mainly because of the yard. The grass was nicely cut, but the bushes were overgrown - and grass trimming was needed. In fairness, I don’t know if weather played a part, as it was so hot. (FYI - A/C worked great!) If you have an aversion to dragon flies, be warned that they are everywhere - at least in July. They did not bother us. The kitchen is small (it is a 1920’s house) and so too is the refrigerator. It is fairly tall, just not deep. It met our needs. Also, I had to keep fighting ants on countertops, but again, it was hot and rainy. Overall, a great stay and we would stay again! ##### Carolyn G.

We had a great time at Croatan Cottage in beautiful downtown, Monteo, NC! The house and property are beautiful and very well maintained. Dee is an exceptional hostess for any vacation because she is very responsive & friendly, made our stay at the cottage stress-free, and she provided personal touches throughout our trip (from fresh flowers at the cottage, homemade cookies in the kitchen, a handwritten welcome note, answering our many questions about the area, to dropping off delicious watermelon after a long day at the beach). The location itself is accessible to so many places in the Outer Banks (Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Cape Hatteras, etc.) as well as walkable sites in Monteo! In five days, we visited the Elizabethan Gardens, Jennette's Pier, Bodie Island Lighthouse, the Wright Brothers Memorial and Visitor Center, enjoyed many beaches, daily walks to the Charis Coffee Company and the Monteo Boardwalk, etc. We will definitely return! ##### Cora T.

Even though the house was built in the 1920s, it is updated, comfortable and immaculate. It is steps away from historic downtown Manteo. It’s close to the water. Dee is by far the best host you could ask for. Fresh flowers in every room, warm cookies, and a filled water bowl for our dog greeted us on our check in day. She checked in with us upon arrival to ensure we were all set for the week. Truly, she was the best and we will be back! ##### Matt W.
