We booked for one night but changed our plans and stayed for two. Excellent location, rooms were large and clean, staff friendly and eager to assist with anything even getting hot tea for two weary travelers who arrived at 11 pm instead of 4 pm because they were stuck on the ferry from Ocracoke!!! Great outdoor deck that was peaceful... More

A friend, who's wedding we were attending booked our accommodations for us and we couldn't have been more pleased. Friendly staff and large rooms with a nostalgic feel to them. More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tranquil House. The staff was friendly. The rooms spacious and very clean with comfortable beds. The bathroom was well lit with plenty of room to unpack toiletries. The afternoon cookies were yummy and the continental breakfast which did include warm sausage biscuits was very satisfying. The inn has a lovely view. You can walk... More

This is a nice little Bed and Breakfast that seriously needs some updating. I stayed here 20 years ago and it hasn't changed a bit - unfortunately. The wine and cheese hour was sadly lacking for decent wine (please, get rid of the Barefoot!) For the prices of their rooms, they could at least have a basic red. Our room... More

There's an old time feel of luxury here. Nice and quiet yet beautiful. Nestled in the heart of the manteo village and also just a walk across the bridge to Roanoke Park. This place reminds me of how lodges were done 50 years ago and it's just got an attention to detail that I like. They don't make'em like this... More

The front desk is very friendly and accommodating, felt like home compared to a chain hotel. They had cider and cookies in the afternoon, wine and cheese on Saturday night during a cocktail hour, and a good breakfast in the morning. Rooms were clean and spacious, my only complaint would be that our room just had a view of the... More

This B&B is not on the ocean, but it is on the water with a marina. I stay here once a year for a quiet weekend get-away. The town of Manteo is quaint and there is plenty to do. Lots of little shops. They also supply bicycles for tooling around. The staff is always pleasent and helpful. The B&B has... More

The rooms were large and nicely furnished, but there was nothing special that made them worth the price. They seemed as though they were fixed up 15 years ago and haven't really been touched since. The rooms smelled musty and everything felt just a little damp. The deck overlooking the water was nice, as were the cookies in the afternoon,... More

Hotel is very close to shopping and Roanoke Island Festival Park. The hotel name is well deserved, since shops close at 5pm and one has no choice but to be tranquil. We did enjoy sitting by the river & on the deck. Don't miss the free wine & cheese each evening. If you're concerned about security, request one of the... More
