"The Starry Banner was the perfect spot for our stay in Manteo! The location was great - so easy to walk to restaurants and shops - and staying on a boat was fun!

"My wife and I booked the Azul for a weekend Easter getaway. We had a lovely time. Gia was a wonderful host and communicated very well how to check in and informed me of boat policies. We spent most of our time on the sundeck with the nice outdoor furniture and artificial grass carpet. I felt like I was being rocked gently to sleep at night on the very comfortable bed. Stripers Bar and Grill, Darrells Seafood Resraurant, and McDonalds are all easily walkable from this boat. Will definitely...
