Island Guesthouse and Motel OBX

Attractive, clean, comfortable guesthouse with en suite bathroom, comfortable king bed, spacious bedroom, convenient location. The host was very welcoming, helpful with restaurant recommendations, friendly. I would love to stay again if we are in the area.

No negatives that I can think of.

It was comfortable and clean

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with providing good information.

I wish the bathrooms had an exhaust fan.

Cute. Very clean

The staff’s concern for our comfort. I am the caregiver for my wife who is not confined to a wheelchair, but she does need one to assist her in mobility. The staff made sure that all of our needs were met.

I thought everything was excellent. Bri is very helpful and pleasant to talk to

Nothing

Great location!

Parking is tight, but workable

We stayed in the King Deluxe studio. The room itself was spacious and well organized. It is cutely decorated. They have a nightly fire by the outdoor "Tiki Bar" area. It is 20 minutes away from either entrance to the Alligator River Wildlife preserve, which was wonderful for us as the best time to see wildlife is at or soon after sunrise (8 bears, 3 barred owls, 2 red wolves and a 5' alligator on this trip). There are two nearby grocery stores, dining, and the Festival Park boardwalk area in downtown Manteo. The staff was engaging and helpful. We have stayed in Nags Head and Wanchese, and for a variety of reasons (cost, convenience, less traffic, fewer tourists), much prefer here. We will stay again when we return to the area.

The only space challenge was shelf or counter space in the bathroom, which was limited. Maybe add a small functional shelf for toiletries?
