Seahorse Inn and Cottages
Stayed there 4 nights during the Bluegrass festival in Manteo. It was very comfortable and clean with a microwave and fridge in our room. The place is a bit worn, but not terrible. It was a good value at approximately $75 per night.

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn
We were in town for a disc golf tournament and we stay here twice a year. We love the location since there is a brewery 1 block away and the Kill Devil Grill right across the street
