Always Amazing Croatan House

As a returning guest, we knew that our stay at the Croatan House would be wonderful in all ways. Dee’s attention to the details that make guests feel welcome, are always present and appreciated. This year our visit was planned to coincide with the wonderful Island Bluegrass Festival in Manteo, and our visit was memorable in all ways. Thank you Dee for everything!

Outstanding stay

The house was beautiful and the location was ideal. We could walk to everything in town. Our little puppy enjoyed the fenced in yard. Excellent all around!

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!
