Great stay

Mary and all the staff were amazing and helpful. From dinner suggestions, offering to loan a bicycle (which I used to ride to the piggly Wiggly for some provisions and to Ft Roanaoke to check that out), to happy hour wine and cheese we were super happy with our choice. Also it’s right next to the marina and we had our boat there.

Great waterfront stay

Really enjoyed this peaceful place right on the waterfront. Very comfortable bed, spacious room, good breakfast, beautiful property. Staff was very pleasant and easy to work with. Downsides were that there was a little mustiness in the room (it is a waterfront, after all), and the steps down to the parking lot are a little tricky. I tripped a couple times at the bottom where the step meets the parking block. We would definitely come again.

The inn is a great spot on the water and walkable to anything you would want to do, see, or need in Manteo. Definitely make time to eat in the 1587 lounge. Great service and food..... that is saying a lot for us because we normally are biased to cooking ourselves and very rarely find restaurants impressive or worth returning to. Our meal here was both. The staff was friendly and informative. Check in and out was easy with texted instructions. Room was clean and had everything you migjt n3ed for a short stay. Fridge, kurig, iron, and extra pillows. The only thing that I would have liked was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or toiletry bag. But this might have just been the case in our room.

We had a lovely stay at Tranquill House Inn. Staff was very responsive to requests. The only issues that kept me from giving a five star review was the need for better sheets and pillows. Sheets were very rough and pillows were old and well used. There was also a dehumidifier running in our room that needed to be emptied twice a day and it was very loud. We had to leave it on or our bedding felt damp at night.

I can't say enough about our stay. This was the first time NOT staying on the beach. It was probably THE MOST RELAXING vacation we've ever had. Everything was perfect. Our check-in was very late, but we were given instructions for the door code and location. Our room was beautifully decorated, very clean, bright and overlooked the marina. The bed was firmer than we are used to, but did not hinder our sleep. Breakfast provided every morning of fresh fruit, juice, coffee, yogurt, sausage biscuits and a beautiful view of the marina. If you're looking for something other than that.. Darrell's is your place! Great food and amazing service. The staff, Marci, Chuck, Frankie, Mary, Ashley(sorry we missed you) were all very friendly and gave us lots of information on sites other than the beach. The aquarium was a highlight, as was the local theatre. We relaxed every afternoon during the "cocktail hour". Wine, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers were a special treat after spending the day either at the beach, the pool( offered through an off property resort) or just checking out the sweet town of Manteo. We dined at the restaurant (1587) Sunday evening. Make sure to reserve a table as it is popular. My husband had the Red Drum and I had the Ribeye. Delicious doesn't begin to describe either dish. We relaxed every evening on the deck overlooking the marina and was an excellent way to end our day. Tranquil House Inn.. INDEED, was just that. We didn't want to leave.
